Week 6 Start'em/Sit'em

Week 6 Start’em/Sit’em

Week 5 is in the books and the injuries continue as Leinhart is down an out for the year with a shoulder, Jake also is done as he is undergoing Tommy John surgery, Deion Branch sprained a knee and he will be out at least 3 weeks, Trent Green suffered a grade 3 concussion and it could be both season and career ending. If you add to the fact that 6 teams have byes this week and they are the Bills, Broncos, Lions, Colts, Steelers and 49ers your fantasy line-up is going to be filled with waiver wire pick-ups and back-ups. We will do our best to find a few gems and find a few whom you should avoid.
QB's – (Always Start Brady, Romo, Palmer, Favre….)Start em -
1. Derek Anderson - Great Match-up vs. the Dolphins and with Jamal potentially on the shelf the Browns will look to take advantage of their secondary.
2. Hasselback – I know that Branch is out but the Saints are giving up 31 pts per game right now so I think even without his #1 target he will still find the end zone.
3. McNabb – Donovan and company come off a bye week and they get to play the Jets as there reward who are not playing very well right now so look for McNabb to put up solid numbers in this one.
Sleeper of the week – Brian Griese - The Bears play the Vikings and while the Vikings are great against the run they are not so good against the pass and I believe Brian will continue to progress and put at least two TD’s on the board.
Sit em
1. Carr/Whoever plays QB for the Panthers – The Cardinals are back home and are on a roll and the Panthers offense is ugly even in the games they win.
2. Brees – Until further notice Drew Brees deserves only a spot on your bench as whatever magic he had from last year is gone and on top of that the Seahawks are going to be looking to avenge last weeks poor outing against the Steelers.
3. Vince Young – Vince looked awful against the Falcons so I would be shocked to see him perform well against the Bucs. Vince may win games in the NFL but those W’s don’t transcend to fantasy stardom.
Bust of the week – Jason Campbell – The rookie signal caller looked great against the Lions but this week he heads to Green Bay which is a different story so look for Jason to struggle against the Pack.
RB's – (Always Start – LT…) – It is a sad day when we are down to only one always start back but this season is simply whacky when it comes to backs…
Start'em
1. Larry Johnson – I know he only ran for 12 yards last week but this week he gets the Bengals so I think we are looking at his best performance of the year.
2. Edge – He is on the verge of becoming a must start and the Cards are at home and Russ Grimm has that O-line opening holes for Mr. James..
3. Willis McGahee – He gets his turn to run all over the Rams so put him in your line-up and set in on cruise control.

Start of the week – Ronnie Brown – With Cleo Lemon at the helm Ronnie will touch the ball even more and Cleveland is 30th against the run so expect to see him put up some huge numbers in Cleveland.
Sit em'
1. Adrian Peterson/Chester Taylor – I think the Bears D gained a bit of their mojo back last week and the Vikes are one dimensional so it could be tough sledding against the monsters of the midway.
2. Foster – I think the Panthers are going to lay an egg out west in Arizona.
3. Earnest Graham – The Titan D is tough against the run led by Albert Haynesworth so leave him on the bench.
Bust of the week – Lamont Jordan/Raiders RB – The Bolts are back and they are going to continue their winning ways by shutting down the Raiders…
WR's
Start em (Always start – T.O., Randy Moss, Chad Johnson....)
1. Burress – Plaxico is on a roll so make sure he is in your line-up when the G-men play the Falcons.
2. Braylon Edwards – He and Derek Anderson have chemistry and the Fish have holes in the secondary so I think he has a good chance of finding pay dirt.
3. Bobby Engram – With Deion Branch out Engram is going to become Hasselback’s #1 target so get him in your line-up.
Sleeper of the week – Reggie Brown – I think after a week off the Eagles will look to get their #1WR back on track and the Jets may just be the answer to Reggie’s woes.
Sit em
1. Tennessee WR’s – Vince Young looks awful and the Titans will only throw when they have too.
2. Vincent Jackson – The Raiders CB’s are better then Jackson and he is going to struggle to get open and once the Chargers get up big time they are going to stop throwing the ball.
3. Roddy White – I don’t think that Joey will have time to throw the ball this week at all and this one could get ugly fast .
4. Ronald Curry – I am scared of this match-up as the Chargers are looking to follow-up last weeks performance with another drubbing.
Bust of the week – Joey Galloway – I think the Bucs are in for a long day versus the Titans so Joey is going to have to buckle up for this one.
Defenses
Start'em
1. Bears – Put them back in your line-up especially against the Vikings who lack the offensive weapons to compete with them.
2. Cardinals – The Panthers are hurting and that heat in Phoenix will cause them to wilt.
3. Ravens – They get the Rams this week at home and Frerrotte likes to throw the ball to the other team so make sure they are in there.
3. Giants – Monday night in Atlanta and the Giants have won 3 in a row and there defense is a big part of that.
Sleeper of the week – Browns – Miami is struggling and the Browns are starting to play pretty well so maybe this week there defense takes advantage of Mr. Lemon.
Sit'em
1. Cowboys – The Pats are going to score and the Dallas D is going to be the victim.
2. Redskins – I think the Pack is going to put up some points this week against the Skins.
3. Vikings – This smells like a blow-out waiting to happen.
Bust of the week – Panthers – The Panthers are going to wilt in the heat in Phoenix.
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. Gould – The Bears kicker is going to be busy against the Vikes
4. Tynes – In a dome against the Falcons need I say more…

Sleeper – Kris Brown kicked 5 against the Dolphins so maybe Dawson will do the same this week in Cleveland.
Sit'em - This simply isn't worth the typing...
