Start Em, Sit Em

Michael Strack

Start Em, Sit Em

 

Start Em

Green Bay Packers: No holds bar!  If you have a Packer on your roster you'll have a smile on Turkey day.  Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Grant, Donald Driver, Greg Jennings & Jermichael Finley all make the trip to Detroit this Thursday.  I even like Brandon Jackson as a FLEX if Ryan Grant is still banged up.  

 

 

Phillip Rivers, QB, Chargers: Rivers threw 3 TD passes against their first meeting with the Chiefs.  Also, LT is running much better now and should be able to break a few holes to leave this defense in knots. 

 

 

Matt Hasselbeck, QB, Seahawks:  Back in week 1's contest versus the Rams, Hasselbeck had his coming out party.  He posted over 250 yards passing and 3 TD's.  The Rams have looked much better in these last couple weeks, but I expect the Seahawks to post some big numbers, especially coming off last weeks game with only 9 points. 

 

 

Ricky Williams, RB, Dolphins:  Another 100+ rushing, 60+ yards receiving and a few TD's I presume.  They are playing the Bills ya know. 

 

 

Fred Jackson, RB, Bills: Fred should get the full load against a Miami team that has allowed 355 rushing yards & 3 TD's in their last 3 games.    Jackson also catches a lot of passes out on the flat which is great for PPR leagues.  Start Jackson this week, you won't be disappointed. 

 

 

Felix Jones, RB, Cowboys:  Jones is coming off a career high in carries last week (10).  The Cowboys will work Jones into the playbook this week against a vulnerable Raiders front-7. 

 

Danny Ware, RB, Giants: With Bradshaw ruled out & Brandon Jacobs constant knee issues, I think Danny Ware steps up big this week.  I'm going out on a limb and saying he gets 50+ rushing 50+ receiving and 1 TD. 

 

 

 Derrick Mason, WR, Ravens:  A secondary without Troy Polamalu makes all the difference this Sunday night.  Mason will have his second straight game with 8 or more receptions. 

 

 

Nate Burelson, WR, Seahwaks:  He had 7 receptions for 74 yards & 1 TD in week 1 versus the Rams.  Hasselbeck should hook up with Nate at least once for a score.

 

 

Percy Harvin, WR, Vikings:  Charles Tillman should be preoccupied with Sidney Rice all afternoon, which is great news for Harvin owners.  Chicago has given up a few TD's this year to slot receivers. 

 

Roddy White, WR, Falcons:  In the past 3 games, the Buccaneers have given up 4 TD's to opposing WR's.  Matt Ryan should have a field day with Roddy & Co.

 

Greg Olsen, TE, Bears:  As Jay Cutler continues to look horrendous against one of the best defenses in the league, He should be able to find Olsen often as the Vikes are still among the top teams that give up a ton of points to opposing TE's.  

 

 

Sit Em

Donovan McNabb, QB, Eagles: The Redskins only have one thing going for them this year, their secondary.  Donovan only threw for 156 yards against the Skins' in week 7.   

 

Tom Brady, QB, Patriots: Drew Brees is not the reason why these Saints are 10-0. The defense has recorded an NFL best 20 INT's & 4 forced fumbles. 

 

 

Matt Forte, RB, Bears:  I'm sorry Matt.  You've been showing up on my Sit Em' list more than any other RB this year.  You have to travel to Minnesota this week, as well as your QB smelling similar to scruff-a-luffagus.  

 

 

Brandon Jacobs, RB, New York Giants:  2^nd week in a row I'm placing Mr. Knee on the Sit Em' list.  He did score last week, but let's get real here people...He only recorded 39 yards on 12 carries.  I'm betting my money on the young fresh legs of Danny Ware in this Thanksgiving night showdown. 

 

 

Kevin Smith, RB, Lions:  Stafford is out.  Calvin is Doubtful.  I must ask; does this team have to rely on Kevin Smith & Daunte Culpepper to beat the Packers?   Umm...yes....they do!  Sorry Kev, but that was probably your last Fantasy worthy week last week. 

 

 

Mike Bell, RB, Saints:  Mike is only resourceful unless Reggie Bush or Pierre Thomas is not available.  Reggie & Pierre are both back in the lineup this week, so be skeptical with Bell's production this week.   

 

 

Steve Smith, WR, Panthers:  Yea, you pretty much own this list Steve.  Especially lining up next to Darelle Revis this week.

 

 

Santana Moss, WR, Redskins:  Is Santana Moss on the Waiver Wire?

 

 

Bears, WR's:  Johnny Knox, Earl Bennet & Devin Hester will all succumb to the venomous Vikings defense. 

 

 

TE:  Start any Tight End I mention right now.  That seems to be the trend.  This week's winner:  Jason Witten.
