Who Were the NFL’s Top Week 7 Performers?
The big story in Week 7 was Tim Tebow's “Miracle in Miami." The young quarterback sailed several passes and was sacked seven times, but the Broncos still came out with the overtime win. The Colts proved once again they're horrible and the Dolphins are not much better, as both are still winless. The Lions have been toothless the last two games and need to bounce back to stay serious playoff contenders. The Aaron Rodgers-led Packers continue to dominate the NFL and talk of an undefeated season should start soon.
Here are our picks for the top Week 7 performers:
Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
Drew Brees has been a fantasy stud for years and he proved that he can dismantle a Colts defense like it is an eighth grade “B" team. Brees connected on 31 of 35 passes, finishing the game with five touchdowns and 325-yards passing. 2001 Contenders, 2001 SPx and 2001 SP Authentic rank among his best rookie cards. For those on a budget, 2001 Topps Gallery and 2001 Upper Deck Vintage provide attractive lower-end options.

Arian Foster, Houston Texans
Houston fans have long been aware of what Arian Foster is capable of doing to NFL defenses. He showcased his talent Sunday against the Titans, running for 115 Yards with two rushing scores. Foster also added 119 yards receiving, including a 78-yard touchdown catch. The former Tennessee Volunteer has relatively few rookie cards, with his 2009 Bowman Sterling being his only autographed certified rookie. The current supply will not be able to meet demand if he continues to perform at such a high level.

DeMarco Murray, Dallas Cowboys
Cowboys fans are hoping that DeMarco Murray will be the next great Cowboys running back. The third round pick out of Oklahoma has played sparingly after suffering an injury in the preseason. He had the game of his life, breaking the franchise's single-game rushing record with 253 yards. Murray scored on a 91-yard touchdown run and had several big runs. Hailing from one of college football's super programs and being drafted by one of the most collected teams in the hobby, Murray already has a high hobby profile. He has rookie cards in 2011 products, including autographs in 2011 Rookies & Stars, 2011 Panini Threads, 2011 Timeless Treasures and 2011 Topps Inception. The Cowboys' offense can only be bolstered if Murray continues to run the ball with success.

Week 8 should offer some nice headlines as Tim Tebow goes head-to-head with quarterback destroyer Ndamukong Suh in Denver. The Saints will attempt to dismantle another winless team in the Rams, while the Patriots take on the Steelers.
