Scout Widget - WR Sit-Start Week 16

Start

Fitzgerald/Boldin vs. Pats - With the secondary injuries/problems the Patriots have, both Cardinal receivers make excellent starts...even on the road. 100 yards and 1 TD for each.

Colston/Johnson vs. each other - When the Saints battle the Lions, both Marques Colston and Calvin Johnson will put up great numbers through the air. Lance Moore is also worth a start as a #2 WR. 100 yards and 1 TD for each...Moore could top 100 yards.


Sit

Bernard Berrian vs. Falcons - Tavarius Jackson's 4 TDs last week was not the norm...don't expect anything big from Berrian either this week.

Dwayne Bowe vs. Dolphins - The weather forecast for Sunday is 16 degrees and windy.....not optimal conditions for wide receiver fantasy points.

Kevin Walter vs. Raiders - While Andre Johnson is a must-start, Walter is not the #2 fantasy receiver he would normally be in this matchup. Sit him if you have a better matchup.

Scout Widget - RB Sit-Start Week 16

Running backs are the lifeblood of most fantasy teams. The Sit-Start is here to make sure your Championship dreams don't die.....

Start
Kevin Smith vs. Saints - Smith is finally coming into his own as an NFL running back. The touches are finally coming consistently, and this week, so will the touchdowns. 120 total yards and 1 TD.

Frank Gore vs. Rams - Gore has been consistent this year, but this week he finally gets a chance to breakout. 130 total yards and 2 TDs.

Steve Slaton vs. Raiders - Slaton + Raiders run defense = Championship for you. 150 total yards and 2 TDs.


Sit
DeAngelo Williams vs. Giants - This may be hard to do, but this is the right call if you have another decent option. The Giants run defense will not allow Williams to duplicate his previous weeks' effort.

Clinton Portis vs. Eagles - Portis is banged up, the Skins O-Line is missing two starters, and the Eagles are on a roll. Not a good week to be Portis.

Seahawk backs vs. Jets - No matter who it is, they won't get far this week.

Scout Widget - QB Sit-Start Week 16

After a long (and unintentional, I might add) break from the Sit-Start, I'm ready to help you win your fantasy football championship games:

Start
Matt Ryan vs. Vikings - With half of the Williams duo out for the Vikings' D-Line, Minnesota may need a bit more help from their safeties to stop Michael Turner. This will result in formations that Minnesota is not used to playing, allowing Ryan to hit at least one big play. Expect solid numbers from the surprising rookie. 250 yards and 2 TDs.

Matt Cassel vs. Cards - Even counting the Steelers debacle, Cassel has blown away the QB competition over the past six weeks as the number one scorer in all formats. This will continue this week at home against a Cardinal defense that is...uh....less than stout. 250 yards, 2TDs, 30 yards rushing.

Donovan McNabb vs. Redskins - A little risky on the road, but McNabb has played well after being benched earlier in the year by Andy Reid. Look for McNabb to screen to Westbrook all day and post solid numbers and be a great injury fill-in. 225 yards and 2 TDs.

Shaun Hill vs. Rams - DO IT!!! Hill plays well against bad defenses, and it doesn't get any worse than the Rams. 250 yards and 2 TDs


Sit
Rothlisberger/Collins vs. each other - This game may end 6-3. Don't do it.

Tony Romo vs. Ravens - Romo is a great fantasy QB, but if you have another good option, we say avoid him this week. The Ravens defense gets better every week and T-Suggs may plant an already dinged Romo in the ground a few times.

Scout Widget - WR Sit-Start Week 12

Start

Kevin Walter vs. Browns - Kevin Walter has quietly become a solid #2 WR option in fantasy football, and that should continue this week. The Browns have been sketchy defending the pass, so Walter should continue benefiting from Andre Johnson's double-teams.

Terrell Owens vs. 49ers - After the disappointing Brad Johnson era, it is time for TO to shine once again. The 49ers defense has been porous, and should give the Romo-Owens connection a rebirth this week.

Donnie Avery vs. Bears - Mr. Avery seems to be continuing his top play and should be activated against the Bears this week. Even if the Rams fall behind early, Avery will get plenty of garbage yards. Expect Torry Holt's fall from grace to continue.


Sit

Chargers WRs vs. Colts - With the Colts run defense, the pass defense good, and the Chargers spreading the ball around, now is not a good time to start any Charger WRs.

Seahawks WRs vs. Redskins - A rainy day against an improving defense equals an non-productive day for Branch and Engram. Hasselbeck is not ready to get the passing offense on track quite yet. Wait one more week before activating any Hawk WRs.

Jets WRs vs. Titans - The Titan defense will keep the Jets in check this week, but Dustin Keller will continue to take looks away from Cotchery and Coles, so sit them if you can this week.

Scout Widget - RB Sit-Start Week 12

Start

Warrick Dunn vs. Lions - With Earnest Graham on IR with an ankle injury, the table is set for Dunn against one of the worst run defenses in the NFL. The Caddy may get some carries, but Dunn will be the main beneficiary in this one.

Marshawn Lynch vs. Chiefs - For those Lynch owners who sat him last week after tiring of seeing 70 yard performances....here is another chance to get back on the gravy train. The Chiefs allow RBs to score more fantasy points than any other team. With the Bills passing woes, Lynch will be a workhorse STUD this week against Herm's boys.

Peyton Hillis vs. Raiders - The default RB for the Broncos should find room to run. The Raiders have played well vs. the pass in last few weeks, so Hillis will have the opportunity for yards and to get a short yardage TD run.


Sit

Tim Hightower vs. Giants - The flavor of the month will be rancid against the top ranked fantasy run defense. Don't do it.

Chris Johnson/Lendale White vs. Jets - The Jets have been solid vs. the run this year, and will employ the same game plan the last teams have employed, though unsuccessfully, against the Titans. Look for Collins to get the glory, while the Titan RBs should get the bench in your fantasy leagues.

Kevin Smith vs. Bucs - Smith may be the man now in Detroit, but the Bucs will put an end to his sudden good fortune. The Lions will not be balanced enough to allow Smith his third 100 yard game in a row.

Scout Widget - QB Sit-Start Week 12

Start

Matt Cassel vs. Dolphins - Cassel had an absolutely huge week 11, throwing for over 400 yards and running for a few as well. Cassel gets a Dolphin team that is mediocre against the pass, but the big key is Cassel has shown the ability to pick up fantasy points on the ground. Expect a decent day through the air, but he will make it a good week because of the points he gains rushing.

Brady Quinn vs. Texans - The youngin' gets to face a Texans defense that ranks 30th in fantasy points allowed to QBs. Brady is just getting more and more confident as he gets more starts, especially when he proved last week he could hit his wide receiver. Expect the Browns to stretch the field and Quinn to be a solid start this week.

Eli Manning vs. Cardinals - Manning has been far from impressive this season, but this week things could change. A game in sunny Arizona will provide the perfect weather for a shootout against a suspect Cardinal pass defense, and Manning will be able to perform. The Cards will have to focus on stopping the Giants ground attack, which should open up Manning to his first big game in a while.


Sit

Jason Campbell vs Seahawks - Some may say this is a great week for Campbell to get back on track, but this week could possibly be a bust for the Redskin QB. Teams travelling across the country rarely do well, even against a suspect team, but this team continues to get healthier every week, so the Hawks are more dangerous than they seem. Combine that with the rainy forecast and.....well.......you could do better this week than Campbell.

Brett Farve vs. Titans - Everyone knows the Titans are great at stopping the run, but did you know they have allowed the second least fantasy points to QBs? When Thomas Jones finds little room to run, Farve will be forced to force passes into tight spaces............let's just say the Titans will have plenty of Pick 6 chances.

Kurt Warner vs. Giants - So you probably won't sit Warner, but you should definitely expect less this week. The Giants defense has been on lockdown, so if you have another top 10 option at QB, start them instead. Don't be surprised if Warner produces decent numbers, though.

Scout Widget - WR Sit-Start Week 11

Start

DeSean Jackson vs. Bengals - Jackson is on pace for about 1200 total yards in his rookie season. The only thing keeping him from being a lock starter is his puny TD totals. Well, give him a go this week, my friends....he will score against the Bengals.

Mark Bradley vs. Saints - Some of you are saying...who? The former second round pick of the Bears is making a big impact after recovering rom a knee injury, scoring a TD in 2 of the last 3 weeks. With Bowe and Gonzales geting the double teams, Bradley is a great start if you need help at WR

Steve Breaston vs. Seahawks - Steve is receiving many touches as the number 3 in Arizona, and he could have another huge game against the Seahawks if Warner continues to look his way.


Sit

Bernard Berrian vs. Bucs - Berrian got zero...I repeat...zero catches last week, and the Bucs defense won't be much easier. Berrian relies on the deep ball too much to be a consistent fantasy producer. Sit if you have better options.

Plaxico Burress vs. Ravens - It's time to sit Burress when the matchup is tough. Sometimes you just have to suck it up. Forget his name...just look at the stats.

Braylon Edwards vs. Falcons - Between his drops and the Brady Quinn era, Braylon is now a dangerous start for the rest of the season. The Browns coaching staff won't be comfortable with a rookie QB winging it outside very often, so his looks will decrease (like last week against the Broncos) and his dropsies don't help the situation.
