Fantasy Preview: Thursday Night Football

The views expressed in this article are not of the New York Football Giants but those of an independent Fantasy Expert.

WR Mario Manningham, 49ers

Last Week: 5 catches, 72 yards, 10 targets

Manningham has been an average fantasy receiver throughout the first six weeks of the regular season, gathering 258 yards, 24 receptions and one touchdown.  Still looking for that signature breakout game, the new San Francisco 49ers wideout will try to do it against the 13th ranked Seattle Seahawks pass defense, that gave up 395 yards last week with an average of 224 passing yards per game.

WR Braylon Edwards, Seahawks

Last Week: 2 catches, 21 yards, TD

Though Edwards has only caught eight passes for 74 yards and has just 13 targets on the entire year, he proved in Week 6 that he still is very much a threat in the red zone.  With a former team on the schedule in the San Francisco 49ers, Edwards could get some revenge as the Seahawks will be facing the second-ranked rush defense, possibly forcing and putting much emphasis on Russell Wilson and the Seattle offense to go into more of an aerial attack mode.
