NFL Tigers - Week 7 Results

The Tiger Pros had some key performances in Week 7, including a pair of Power Rangers who put in notable defensive showings. Also of note, former Tiger defender K’Von Wallace, who has been a consistent producer for the struggling Cardinals’ defense, was waived by Arizona. He was quickly picked up by Tennessee, however, and should become an immediate contributor for the Titans.

Let’s see how the Tiger Pros fared last week.

Travis Etienne, Jr., and Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars

Etienne, Lawrence and the Jaguars led off the NFL slate in a Thursday night matchup with the Saints and finally walked away with a win in the Superdome. The two former Tigers were a big reason for Jacksonville’s success. Doug Pederson has the Jaguars rolling, and they’ll need to keep playing at a high level to earn their 5^th win in a row in Pittsburgh this afternoon.

Etienne led off the scoring with a rushing touchdown in the 1^st quarter. He added another in the 2^nd quarter, finishing with 53 rushing yards and 24 receiving yards. Etienne led all Tiger Pros in fantasy points in Week 7 and continues to be a key cog in the Jaguars’ offense. [Total fantasy points: 22.7]

Despite nursing a sprained knee, Lawrence led Jacksonville’s rushing attack with 59 yards on 8 carries (7.4 yards/rush). He threw for 204 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions. His lone touchdown pass, a 44-yard connection to Christian Kirk with 3:08 left in the 4^th quarter, proved to be the difference in the game as the Jaguars earned a 31-24 win.

Dexter Lawrence, New York Giants

Dexter Lawrence had his best performance of the year last week in the Giants’ 14-7 victory over Washington. He led all Tiger Pro defenders in fantasy points, finishing with 6 tackles (2 solo) and picking up his first two sacks of the year. A fantastic showing indeed for Big Dex.

Another Power Ranger had a solid day at the office. Christian Wilkins had 6 tackles (2 solo) and a fumble recovery in Miami’s 31-17 loss to Philadelphia. The Dolphins should bounce back this weekend when they host New England in Hard Rock Stadium. [Total fantasy points: 6.0]

A.J. Terrell, Atlanta Falcons

Terrell had his best performance of the year last week. He finished with 5 tackles (3 solo) and 2 passes defended, playing a key role in Atlanta’s close 16-13 win over Tampa Bay. The Georgia native looks to put in another solid performance this weekend against the Titans. We may get to see Terrell match up with DeAndre Hopkins in this Tiger Pro clash. That’s worth tuning in for any Tiger fan. [Total fantasy points: 6.0]
