Start'em/Sit'em Brought to you by The Fantasy Football Guru - http://www.thefflguru.com
Week 4 is in the books and the injuries continue as Cadillac is down an out for the year with a knee, Steven Jackson is still out and a virtual whose who in Fantasy Superstar World are questionable with names like Marvin Harrison, Joseph Addai, Clinton Portis, Andre Johnson and Hines Ward and Laurence Maroney not guaranteed of playing in your line-up so pay attention to the injury reports as it is tough to get points from a player who does not start.
QB's – (Always Start Manning, Brady, Romo,….)
Start em -
1. Matt Schaub - Great Match-up vs. the Dolphins as they have stopped no-one and if Dante threw for two last week you can expect the same from Matt.
2. Brees – A week of for Sean Payton and the Saints should allow Drew and company to back on track and the Panthers D is no longer that scary.
3. Favre – Brett is on the verge of making his way to the always start category but this week he gets to throw on the Bears who are beginning to look like the Bears teams of the past.
4. Kitna – I see no reason why the Lions won’t continue to throw their way to victory so keep Kitna active…
Sleeper of the week – I am tempted to keep Joey Harrington up here again but that would be cheating so we are going to go with Eli Manning who goes against the Jets who made Trent Edwards look like a seasoned NFL starter instead of a rookie.
Sit em
1. Hasselback – The Seahawks will have a tough time getting their offense on track as they travel cross-country to face an angry Steeler team coming off their first loss.
2. Derek Anderson – Did you see what the Patriots did to Carlson Palmer?
3. Bulger – The Cardinals already have a good defense and the line did not get any better in St.Louis and still no Jackson to take the pressure off of poor Marc.
4. Cardinals QB’s – Timeshares may be good for winning but are not good for fantasy.
Bust of the week – Phillip Rivers – Rivers who was a draft day favorite is up against Bailey and Bly from the Broncos who know a few things about slowing down a pass offense and the Bronco’s D can’t stop the run so expect LT to do most of the heavy lifting.
RB's – (Always Start – LT, (Addai if Healthy)…)
Start'em
1. Sammy Morris/Maroney – Whichever NE back gets the starting nod is going to run on the Browns D so make sure to get that back in your line-up.
2. Edge – He proved me wrong last week but this week is a no brainer as the Rams are reeling and the Cards have run the ball against everyone.
3. Lindale White – The Titans are tough at home and even though he will split carries with Brown he gets the one at the goal-line.
4. Larry Johnson – I know the Jags play good D but it looks like LJ is all warmed up and ready to go.
Sleeper of the week – Fred Taylor – Jacksonville matches up well against the Chiefs and Fragile Freddy has been getting the majority of the carries and yards so expect him to cross the goal line at least once in this game.
Sit em'
1. GreenBay Backs – Until they find one you can’t play any of them and even the Bears can stop bad backs.
2. Dunn/Norwood – Titans are tough to run on and the Falcons look like a passing team.
3. Frank Gore – I know you spent a high draft pick on him but the Ravens don’t have to defend the pass with Dilfer at the helm so if you have a better option give them a chance if not Frank will certainly get to touch the ball just not sure what he does with it when he has it.
4. Tatum Bell – Kevin Jones is getting the goal-line carries and I imagine this will be the week we see him get the majority of the carries as well.
Bust of the week – Jamal Lewis – Jamal and Cleveland look rejuvenated but the Pats look awesome and I can see this one getting ugly early and making him a non-factor.
WR's
Start em (Always start – T.O., Wayne, Harrison (if healthy), Randy Moss, Roy Williams,..)
1. Marques Colston – Drew Brees will return to form and Colston will be the beneficiary as a bye week to plan for the Panthers is all the Saints will need to get back on track.
2. Andre Davis – Great match-up versus Miami and until Andre returns he is the #1 WR on a good Texan Team.
3. Plaxico Burress – The Jets have one of the worst secondary’s in football and he is on a tear. (make sure to check his status before game time as that ankle could flare up)
4. Larry Fitzgerald – With Boldin out again this week Fitz could see the ball thrown his way a lot more often and the Cardinals have no-one who can cover him.
Sleeper of the week – Antwan Randle-El – The Skins play a Detroit team that hasn’t stopped much of anyone and it looks like Santana Moss could be out which makes Randle-El the potential beneficiary.
Sit em
1. Vincent Jackson – 3rd year WR will find no room to operate against Champ Bailey and company.
2. Steve Smith – Until David Carr proves that he can throw the ball I suggest you find an alternative to Mr. Smith as he is getting hurt my the performance of the former first rounder.
3. Bernard Berrian – Lovie has stated he wants to run the ball more and he will try against the Pack because Woodson and Harris will make Berrian and Muhammad vanish into the dark night sky at Lambeau.
4. 49er WR’s – Until Dilfer proves he can throw these guys should get comfortable on your bench.
Bust of the week – Braylon Edwards – This stud WR has been on a tear lately but the Pats really scare me...I could be wrong but I see no points for the Browns…
Defenses
Start'em
1. Pats – They are simply awesome…
2. Steelers – Angry D with revenge on its mind
3. Ravens – The 49ers are one dimensional and the Ravens are too good to just be run on.
4. Houston – The Texans are tough and Miami is struggling to find its mojo
Sleeper of the week – Cardinals – They get their chance to shut down the once feared offensive juggernaut called the Rams.
Sit'em
1. Bears – I would go grab the Cards, Titans or Giants before I started the once feared monsters of the midway.
2. Bills – The Cowboys are going to light it up in Buffalo on Monday night.
3. Panthers – If you haven’t drop them yet you should as they are going to be under the gun against a motivated Saints Team.
4. Seahawks – I hate when teams have to travel cross country..and the Steelers are tough at home.
Bust of the week – Jaguars – The Jags are going to be the first victim of the return of LJ…
Kickers
Start em
1. Folk - Lots of scoring in Big D
2. Crosby – The Pack is going to move the ball and he is going to be the beneficiary
3. Vinateri – Loves to kick at home and the Bucs could put up a fight on D in the 1st half.
4. Rakers – Indoors and that big leg and he plays the Rams…too many good things on his side…
Sleeper – If you are risk taker line up Matt Bryant from Tampa as the Bucs will drive on Indy but will find it hard to get in the end zone.
Sit'em - This simply isn't worth the typing...
