This is the mountain we have all been climbing towards.  Six teams are off this week including some of the most fantasy noteworthy teams like the Broncos, Chargers, Eagles and Falcons.  Oh, the Chiefs and Dolphins are also not playing but each of those teams have maybe 1 usable player each.  So, this week we are going to have to rely on role players to get us over the hump and hopefully squeak out a win.  I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve and you’ll find out exactly who they are in this weeks rankings:

UPDATE:  Jimmy Graham is OUT for week 7 due to what is rumored to be a high ankle sprain.  This is usually a 4-6 week injury meaning we may be without Graham for quite awhile.  So, taking him out of the top spot this week moves everybody else a peg.  Here are my week 7 TE rankings:
