NFL Fantasy Freaks Review
Week 7 of the NFL season has come and gone, and along with it, fantasy football players were treated to some superb performances (Tom Brady) and some not so superb performances (Marc Bulger). Let's take a look back and see how we did with our predictions on fantasy freaks - players we recommended to put in your lineup.

QB Tony Romo: Romo had a good, if not spectacular day. He was accurate, completing 31 of his 39 pass attempts, but averaged under 10 yards per completion, as he threw for 277 yards. He did throw a touchdown pass to Terrell Owens, and didn't throw a pick, but he fumbled twice and lost one, taking a couple points away. Not the explosion we were expecting, but not bad.

QB Carson Palmer: For some reason, the Bengals' Palmer was not the best quarterback on the field against the Jets. That honor belonged to Chad Pennington, who threw for 272 yards and 3 touchdowns. Palmer struggled a bit, completing only 14 passes for 226 yards and 1 touchdown, and he also threw a pick. The good thing for Cincy fans is he didn't have to win this game by airing it out, as back-up running back Kenny Watson exploded for 130 yards and 3 rushing touchdowns.

RB Willie Parker: Seeing as how the Denver Broncos were allowing over 180 yards on the ground per contest, starting Parker was a no-brainer. He did adequately on the ground, gaining 93 yards on 21 carries, but he didn't score. The Steelers utilized their tight ends near the goal line, as Ben Roethlisberger hit Heath Miller for two scores, and Matt Spaeth for one.

RB Thomas Jones: Jones has had a confounding season as any running back in fantasy football. Due for a breakout game against the Bengals run defense, T.J. failed to deliver yet again, gaining only 67 yards on the ground and catching no passes. He averaged just 3.5 yards per carry and continues to put up mediocre numbers week after week.

WR Joey Galloway: With the Lions keying on Galloway, QB Jeff Garcia threw to running back Earnest Graham and WR Ike Hilliard more often. Galloway caught 5 balls, but for just 46 yards, which was good for 9.2 yards per reception, well below his season average.
