Player Rankings for Week 7

The positional rankings are for Arena fantasy football fans who want that extra edge in setting their weekly lineups.

A fantasy player's most recent performances are taken into account, as well as upcoming opponent, injury status and the focus of that player's offense.

Shane Stafford Clint Dolezel Mark Grieb John Dutton Clint Stoerner Matt D'Orazio Joe Germaine Matt Nagy Sonny Crumbie Jason Fife Andy Kelly Tony Graziani John Fitzgerald Chad Salisbury John Kaleo

Clint Dolezel and Shane Stafford face off in a game that should produce plenty of fireworks, with Stafford's running ability proving the difference. Clint Stoerner takes a big jump up just by playing against Utah. Matt Nagy will continue to struggle until Chris Jackson returns to the lineup. Jason Fife looks better each week and I can't see him being benched when Whelihan is healthy. John Fitzgerald is a solid pick against an ailing (and porous) Dragons D.

Damien Harrell Siaha Burley Marcus Nash TT Toliver Carl Bond Jamin Elliot CJ Johnson Steve Smith Damien Groce Demetris Bendross Marcus Knight Tony Locke

Damien Harrell showed me why he should always be ranked #1 among in the OS rankings last week. Marcus Nash had a big first half and coasted when the Gladiators had a lead in the second. Carl Bond may have locked up the Columbus OS position with his 43-point fantasy week. CJ Johnson can do it all and there's no reason to think he'll stop without kicking a few FGs this week as well. Calvin Schexnayder was a late scratch and cost more than a few fantasy owners a win. Steve Smith returned to the land of the living and should make some strides against a shaken Philly D.

James Roe Kevin Ingram Bobby Sippio Derek Lee Kevin Nickerson Dialleo Burks Will Pettis Anthony Hines Lawrence Samuels JJ McKelvey Mike Horacek Cornelius White Greg Hopkins Andy McCullough James Jordan

James Roe is back to being the best and will shine again at home versus the Avengers. Lawrence Samuels was a huge disappointment and is overshadowed by Bobby Sippio who will have to play a huge role against Dallas. The Dallas Duo of Will Pettis and Dialleo Burks should dominate in the Shootout by the Bay. Anthony Hines was otherworldly playing OS last week and should find openings against Las Vegas. Kevin Nickerson is a better play than in past weeks based on the hobbled New York D. Sean Scott's disappearing act continued and JJ McKelvey is one more solid game away from benching Sean full-time.

Dane Krager Bob McMillen Robert Thomas Marlon Moye-Moore Chad Dukes Dawan Moss Bo Kelly Chris Avery Frank Carter Rodney Filer

Not much change in the FB ranks this week, as Dane Krager is still the most solid of the bunch. Bob McMillen surprisingly didn't get a carry last week for the Rush, but maybe they just wanted him to set the record against arch-rival Colorado. Chris Avery never actually got suspended, but you know that fine will be levied soon enough. Marlon Moye-Moore was the week's best FB, with 2 TDs running and 1 receiving.

Rashad Floyd Chris Brown TJ Hill Kahlil Carter Delmonico Montgomery Damon Mason Clevan Thomas Jeroid Johnson DeShane Dennis Jonathan Ordway Delvin Hughley Terrance Joseph Denario Smalls Antuan Simmons Johnnie Harris

Rashad Floyd is back at the top of the heap, based on his 13 unassisted tackles last week. Chris Brown kept up his impressive season with 10 solo tackles and TJ Hill should bounce back from what for him was an off week. Kahlil Carter and Monty Montgomery anchor a stout Nashville D. With Dahnel Singfield out for two weeks, expect even more action for DeShane Dennis. And don't overlook Clevan Thomas and Terrance Joseph for the Sabercats, as they've been as good as anyone the last few weeks.

Remy Hamilton Peter Martinez Dan Frantz Todd Sievers Carlos Martinez Steve Videtich Brian Schmitz Todd France Jay Taylor Bill Gramatica	Remy Hamilton continued his fine season but a few more weeks like Dan Frantz had and we may be crowning a new #1 Kicker. Peter Martinez and Steve Videtich are both kicking well lately. Tony Dodson getting released was a shock, but the waiving of Clay Rush wasn't a surprise at all. Bill Gramatica might just make it through the year after his 9 for 9 extra point, 2 FG week.
