Sit - Start

 

 

Week 15:

Sit

 

Maurice Morris/Shaun Alexander - RB's - Seahawks - The Seahawks will continue to split carries with both, thus it is a situation to stay away from.

 

Fred Taylor/Maurice Jones-Drew - RB's - Jaguars - The last thing you want in the playoffs is a split back situation going up against the Steeler defense in Pittsburgh after that defense was embarrassed the week before.

 

DeShaun Foster - RB - Carolina - Seattle has a pretty good run defense and the Panther offense has little to offer. Williams will likely steal carries as well.

 

Aaron Stecker - RB - Saints - Though we like him as an average start week-to-week, the Saints will be passing not running against the solid Cardinal run defense (11th overall).

 

Freddy Jackson - RB - Bills - It is tough to pick a back to start when they seem to be splitting carries and even though Jackson has been hot, it is Lynch's job and he should get the majority of the carries and yards against the 27th ranked Brown run defense.

 

Willie Parker - RB - Steelers - If you have an alternative, you need to consider benching Parker against the Jaguar's #5 overall run defense.

 

Start

 

Anthony Gonzales - WR - Colts - Came up big and with Harrison is still down he is the Colts #2 WR and is a must start against the lowly Raiders in most cases.

 

Marshawn Lynch - RB - Bills - It is tough to pick a back to start when they seem to be splitting carries but he should get the majority of the carries and yards against the 27th ranked Brown run defense.

 

Earnest Graham - RB - Buccaneers- Should be a no brainer, but some still lack confidence in Graham. He is a better start than many of the big names.

 

Frank Gore - RB - 49ers - The Bengal defense has improved lately and it is possible to have a better option, but Gore could still have a couple good games in him this season and at home against the 22nd overall run defense is as good as it is going to get for Gore.

 

Kevin Jones - RB - Lions - He is always a gamble with the lousy coaching in Detroit, but when they run him, he does well. The Chargers run defense is average at best (18th overall).

 

Ben Roethlisberger - QB - Steelers - The Jaguar pass defense is actually bad (26th overall) and at home the Steelers need a win. He should be good for 300 yards and 3 TD's.

 

Santonio Holmes - WR - Steelers - He is healthy and could come up big against the weak Jaguar pass (26th overall) defense.

 

Jeff Garcia - QB - Buccaneers - He is likely to start and is always good for a solid performance if you are in need especially against the average Falcon secondary whose team is in disarray.

 

Rudi Johnson - RB - Bengals - Just in time for the playoffs, Johnson is healthy and getting the majority of the carries. The 49ers have the 26th overall run defense and this is the best chance for chance to break 100 yards and a TD.

 

Steve Smith - WR - Panthers - You simply have to take the chance and start him. Even without a QB, someone has to catch the passes and he is do to break one...or two big plays.

 

Joey Galloway - WR - Buccaneers - The Falcons were lit up by Colston and the Saints last week and Galloway may do the same.

 

Kurt Warner - QB - Cardinals - It would be a great start against the Saints if not for the injuries in the at WR, but he should still throw a lot of passes and put up good fantasy numbers, even if he throws 2-3 interceptions.

 

Plaxico Burress - WR - Giants - Burress is looked much better last week and is a gamble, but could payoff very big.

 

Eli Manning - QB - Giants - If Burress is healthy, Manning will play well at home against a tired Redskin team.

 

Deion Branch - WR - Seahawks - With Hackett out again Branch is still the best alternative in this high rated pass attack.

 

Lee Evans - WR - Bills - Going up against the 30th ranked defense in a playoff-type game is a must start for Evans.

 

 

Week 14:

Sit

 

Philip Rivers - QB - Chargers - Tennessee has a very good pass defense (8th overall). Rivers has been up and down all year and is not worth the risk unless you are in a bind.

 

Maurice Morris/Shaun Alexander - RB - Seahawks - The Seahawks will continue to split carries with both, thus it is a situation to stay away from.

 

Kevin Jones - RB - Don't risk ever starting him, especially against the tough Dallas run defense.

 

Eli Manning - QB - Giants - The Eagle defense is solid, especially at home and Manning has yet to prove himself in '07.

 

Frank Gore - RB - 49ers - He is facing the #1 rated Viking run defense, the Vikings are hot and he has had a sub par season. Bench him if you have a good back-up.

 

Start

 

Anthony Gonzales - WR - Colts - Bombed last week, but Harrison is still down and the Colts #2 WR can be as good as most #1's.

 

Vernon Davis - TE - 49ers - Only 1 catch last week and like we said tight ends catches go up & down, but he is likely to do as good as any other second-level tight ends.

 

Earnest Graham - RB - Buccaneers- Should be a no brainer, but some still lack confidence in Graham. He is a better start than many of the big names.

 

Hines Ward - WR - Steelers - Keep starting him as long as Homes is out.

 

Luke McCown - QB - Buccaneers- He is likely to start and if you are in need McCown could be up for another big game against the weak Texan secondary.

 

Travis Henry - RB - Broncos - He has won his suspension and might have some new life. Playing against the 20th ranked Chief run defense at home is a great time to try him again.

 

Kolby Smith - RB - Chiefs- He is going up against the 31st ranked run defense. Enough said.

 

Vince Young - QB - Titans - He is still playing well and should continue to play well against the weak Chargers' pass defense.

 

Deion Branch - WR - Seahawks - With Hackett out again and Branch now healthy he should put up good numbers against the Cardinal 22nd rated pass defense.

 

Bobby Engram - WR - Seahawks - SAA. Especially in points per reception leagues.

 

Justin Gage - WR - Titans - He is the main man in Tennessee & if Young does well he should too.

 

 

Sit - Start

 

 

Week 13:

Sit

 

Kurt Warner - QB - Cardinals - He is looking good and is a great pick up for the playoffs, but on the road against Seattle with Boldin and Fitzgerald banged up may not be very good.

 

Philip Rivers - QB - Chargers - Kansas City quietly has a good pass defense (9th overall). Rivers is looking better, but on the road in Kansas City is not the best time to play the up and down Rivers.

 

Maurice Morris/Shaun Alexander - RB - Seahawks - Morris is an average at best and going up against the tough Philadelphia run defense (7th overall). If Alexander returns, neither will carry a full load.

 

David Garrard - QB - Jaguars - We gave him the start last week, but this week he is facing the #2 overall pass defense on the road (Colts).

 

Kevin Jones - RB - He finally came back big on thanksgiving, but now he is on the road against the #1 run defense, Minnesota.

 

Eli Manning - QB - Giants - The Bear defense is not that good, but until Manning steps it up, he is a fantasy back-up.

 

Rudi Johnson/Kenny Watson - Facing the Pittsburgh 2nd rated run defense on the road and splitting time (though Johnson is getting the majority) makes for a bench. Johnson is the better play of the two if you have to.

 

Start

 

Kurt Warner - QB - Cardinals - He looks healthy enough and is coming off a big fantasy game. Home against Cleveland could mean big numbers 300+ and 3 TD's.

 

Anthony Gonzales - QB - Colts - Harrison is still down and the Colts #2 is as good as most #1's.

 

Vernon Davis - Like must timeouts he will go up & down, but he is likely to do as good as anyone at the tight end position.

 

Frank Gore RB - 49ers - Most managers have stuck with him and now is not the time to stop. Played well last week and the Panther run defense is below average (20th).

 

Dwayne Bowe - WR - Chiefs - Bowe should have a nice day against the soft Charger secondary. 6 catches 100 yards and 1 TD sounds probable.

 

Jason Campbell - QB - Redskins - He was a bench last week, but this week at home against the 29th overall pass defense makes Campbell is a good start.

 

Thomas Jones - RB - Jets - Is usually a bench and might be if you have a better option, but facing the awful Miami run defense (30th) is as good as it gets for Jones.

 

Vince Young - QB - Titans - He is playing well again and should continue to play well against the weak Texans pass defense.

 

Deion Branch - WR - Seahawks - With Hackett out again and Branch now healthy he should put up good numbers even on the road against Philadelphia.

 

Len Dale White - RB - Titans - He bombed against the Bengals, but should rebound and play well against the Texans at home.

 

DeShaun Foster - RB - Panthers - He rarely gets the chance to start in Fantasy -Land, but playing at home against the 49ers lowly run defense (23rd overall) is as good as it gets with him.

 

Jesse Chatman - RB - Dolphins - He is listed as probable and will start. The Ricky Williams "comeback" is over and he should get 100+ and a TD against the 31st ranked run defense.

 

Sidney Rice -WR - Vikings - Looking very deep her, but if you are in need, Rice is the man in Minnesota. Detroit has the #31 pass defense.

 

Bernard Berian - WR - Bears - He is the target for Grossman and could have a big day at home against the Giants.

 

 

Sit - Start

 

 

Week 12:

Sit

 

DeShaun Foster - RB - Panthers - He rarely gets the chance to start in Fantasy -Land, and the Saints may sound like a good time to play him, but the Saints actually have a solid run defense.

 

Jason Campbell - QB - Redskins - He has been playing well and looks like he is becoming a worthwhile fantasy starter, but not on the road against the tough Buccaneer pass defense (3rd overall).

 

Selvin Young - RB - Broncos - He is banged up and now you have to worry about Andre Carter stealing carries. Wait a week and see how this plays out.

 

Kevin Curtis - WR - Going into New England without Donovan McNabb. Enough said.

 

Roy Williams - WR - Until he shows otherwise, you need to find a better option.

 

Thomas Jones - RB - Jets - They will be playing from behind and the Cowboys have an excellent run defense.

 

Raider Offense - The Chiefs have a good defense, they are playing in KC and the Raiders stink.

 

 

Start

 

Chester Taylor - RB - Vikings - At home against the weak Raiders Taylor's fresh legs should be good for 100+ and a TD.

 

Seattle Pass Offense - They are red hot. Matt Hasselbeck and D.J. Hackett are a must and Deion Branch and Bobby Engram are considerations against the Ram's average pass defense (lean to Engram).

 

Pittsburgh Offense - After being embarrassed against the lowly Jets, Pittsburgh is likely to be fired up at home and should take it out against the Dolphins. Holmes is the better of the receivers, but Ward may make a nice start too.

 

Matt Shaub - QB - Texans - Just the presences of Andre Johnson should help Shaub, but if he contributes Shaub should play well again against the weak Brown defense.

 

Jay Cutler - QB - Broncos - The Bears defense is very average and Cutler is coming into his own. He will not have a huge game but should be good for 250 yards and 2 Td's.

 

Brandon Marshall - WR - Broncos - Same as above.

 

Marc Bulger - QB - Rams - He is healthy, playing well , at home and playing against the lowly Seahawk pass defense. It could turn into a shootout.

 

Eli Manning - QB - Giants - The Vikings can stop the run, but can't stop the pass. Manning should have a big game at home. Viking starting CB Antoine Winfield is likely out.

 

Vince Young - QB - Titans - He is starting to play well again and should continue to play well against the weak Bengal pass defense (24th overall).

 

Justin Gage - WR - Titans - Same as above.

 

Len Dale White - RB - Titans - The Bengal run defense also stinks and the Titan O-Line is very good.

 

Kevin Walter - WR - Texans - We still think he is a good start in points-for-receptions leagues with Johnson & Shaub healthy, especially against the lowly Browns defense.

 

Kevin Jones - RB - Lions - If the Lions give him the ball more, he will do well. Look for him to get 80+ and maybe a TD.

 

Chad Johnson over Chris Henry - WR - Bengals - All the talk of Johnson's failure are simply wrong. Yes his TD total's are low, but his stats are not (53 catches for 938 yards in 10 games). Henry is still a third receiver and though week-to-week he may beat out Johnson or T.J. overall he will not.

 

David Garrard - QB - Jaguars - He simply doesn't throw interceptions (0 in 2007) and has gotten a little better every week. The Bills pass defense is awful and with Lynch out, they will have trouble controlling the clock. Garrard could have his best game.

 

Kolby Smith - RB - Chiefs - It is a great place for the rookie's debut. At home against the weak Oakland defense (31 overall).

 

 

Week 11:

Sit

 

Jesse Chatman - RB - Miami - The Eagles will likely attempt to take Chatman out of the game. The addition of Ricky Williams shouldn't have a major affect this week, but doesn't help.

 

Philip Rivers - QB - San Diego - He has been struggling and going on the road in Jacksonville is not the place for a turn-around.

 

Steve Smith - WR - Carolina - He is injured, the Panthers don't have a QB and he is facing the tough Packer defense. Need more?

 

Priest Holmes - RB - Kansas City - The Colts have their injury problems, but they should be okay against the run and Holmes, while looking okay, was nothing exciting.

 

Thomas Jones - RB - Jets - Not a shocker, but just a reminder that he is very average and is going against the stiff Pittsburgh run defense.

 

 

Start

 

Chester Taylor - RB - Vikings - At home against the weak Raiders Taylor's fresh legs should be good for 100+ and a TD.

 

Matt Shaub - QB - Texans - Just the presences of Andre Johnson should help Shaub, but if he contributes Shaub might light it up against the Saint in Houston.

 

Cleveland Passing Offense - Yes it is in Baltimore, but there pass defense is awful with their injuries. Start'em all.

 

Kevin Walter - WR - Texans - The return of Andre Johnson & Matt Shaub may give Walter one of his biggest games. Oh yeah, and the a playing the Saints at home.

 

Ron Dayne - RB - Texans - If you are in need of a RB, against the Saints is as good as it gets for Dayne. Adimchinobi Echemandu could get his fair share of attempts, but is too risky.

 

Rudi Johnson - RB - Bengals - He still hasn't played well, but he did get 22 carries last week, showing he is ready to take the full running load. Facing the weak Cardinal defense helps.

 

D.J. Hackett - WR - Seahawks - Keep starting him. The Seahawks are going to pass, pass, pass and Hackett is the real deal.

 

Donovan McNabb - QB - Philadelphia - He has been inconsistent, so he is always a risk, but vs. the Dolphin secondary, at home, is too much to pass up.

 

Len Dale White - RB - Titans - The Broncos run defense stinks and the Titan O-Line is very good.

 

 

Week 10:

Sit

 

Ryan Grant - RB - Green Bay - He may sneak in a TD and be worthwhile, but the combination of the Vikings run defense with their great time consuming run game should leave him very few opportunities.

 

Bronco Offense - The Chiefs defense is very underrated and is playing well, especially at playing at home against their division rivals. Denver is struggling.

 

Cleveland Offense - Only Kellen Winslow should be starting on the road in Pittsburgh. Maybe Braylon Edwards if you must.

 

Cincinnati Running Backs - The only thing Baltimore can do to is stop the run. Rudi Johnson is still injured, though he may play and Kenny Watson should be stuffed.

 

Cedric Benson - RB - Chicago - Not a shocker here, but just reminding you that he is a bum.

 

Marvin Harrison - WR - Colts - Not worth the risk, listed as Questionable. The Colts should be saving him for the playoffs.

 

Shaun Alexander - RB - Seattle - He has not practiced because of several injuries & he has been a bum all year.

 

Start

 

Brett Farve - QB - Packers - At home against the rather weak Vikings secondary would give Farve a 2-3 TD game and 300 yards.

 

Gregg Jennings - WR - Packers - He is the now main man in Green Bay. AS Farve goes, he is likely to go.

 

Jesse Chatman - RB - Miami - The Bill run defense is below average and Chatman's fresh legs are about the only thing going on in Miami. Should be good for 80 yards & a TD & some receptions.

 

Pittsburgh Offense - Start'em all! At home against the lowly Cleveland defense.

 

David Patten - WR - Saints - If you are in need of a WR start, Patten has 19 catches for 332 yards in the last 4 games. With Brees hot all 3 Saint WR's are worth a shot.

 

Arizona & Detroit Offenses - Start'em all!

 

Eli Manning - QB - Giants- There is worry with Burress' continued injury, but Manning should still have a good game at home against the Cowboys, especially if the game turns into a Romo vs. Manning shoot out. Tank Johnson will play for the Cowboys & this should slow Brandon Jacobs down, but not stop him from 70+ & a TD.

 

D.J. Hackett - WR - Seahawks - Finally showed up last week. Look for him to expand his role in the offense and get 6 catches for 90+.

 

Brian Griese - QB - Chicago - Oakland's defense has struggled and the Bears my take out the frustrations against a much weaker Oakland team.

 

Greg Olsen - TE - Chicago - Is getting better & better. See above.

 

Aaron Moorehead - WR - Colts - Harrison is not likely to play much, Gonzales is out and equally as important, Quentin Jammer, the Chargers starting corner is out. If you are in need, you may get luck with Moorehead.

 

Maurice Morris - RB - Seahawks - He may start and can be an emergency play for you, even if he doesn't start.

 

Vernon Davis - TE - 49ers - He should be starting all year for your offense, he is all the 49ers have at this point.

 

Week 9:

Sit

 

Baltimore - Passing Offense - Heap may not play, OT Ogden may not play & McNair is coming off an injury, WR Mason won't score and they are all going into Pittsburgh. Bench them all.

 

Vince Young - QB - Titans - Hasn't done much since the injury, don't take a chance now. The Titans should be running a lot anyway.

 

Marion Barber - RB - Cowboys - This is a bench'em only if you have a solid alternative. Playing in Philadelphia is always tough and the Eagles have a good run defense (8th overall).

 

DeShaun Foster - RB - Carolina - An average back, with a lousy QB play on the road against the #1 run defense.

 

Start

 

Drew Brees - QB - Saints - Yes the Jaguar defense is tough, but you have to ride the hot hand of Brees & the Saints, especially at home.

 

Donovan McNabb - QB - Eagles - Starting CB Henry is still out and the Cowboy secondary is average. The Eagles will be pumped for this game & do their best to stay even with Romo & the Cowboys.

 

Kevin Curtis - WR - Same as above.

 

Earnest Graham - RB - Tampa Bay - He is at home against the Cardinals. He has been playing very solid ball and is good for 80 yards & 1 TD, plus a few receptions.

 

Lee Evans - WR - Bills - Just a reminder, he is hot! Plus the Bills get the Bengals at home.

 

Jeff Garcia - QB - Tampa Bay - Failed last week against the tough Jaguar Defense, but will not do the same against the Cardinals.

 

LenDale White - RB - Titans - Chris Brown is still injured & he continues to play well.

 

D.J. Hackett - WR - Seahawks - Looks to finally be back from his injury and he should have a good game against the weak Brown secondary.

 

Hines Ward - WR - Steelers - We generally like Holmes better, but Ward should get several receptions & 1 TD at home against Baltimore and outplay Holmes.

 

Kevin Walter - WR - Texans - Remains a very good start in points for reception leagues & a solid start in any league playing against an up and down Raider defense.

 

Jason Campbell - QB - Redskins - He is a good QB who has a solid fantasy day every now and then. This should be one of those good days.

 

Antwaan Randle El - WR - Redskins - If you are in need for a WR start...same as above.

 

Clinton Portis - RB - Redskins - Has been a fantasy bust, but like Campbell, this should be one of his batter starts.

 

Vernon Davis - TE - 49ers - He may be the only bright spot on a woeful offense.

 

 

Week 8:

Sit

 

Jon Kitna - QB - Lions - The Bear defense is what is was last year, but Kitna hasn't been playing well nor does he do great on the road.

 

Ravens - Offense - Playing at Pittsburgh, most are banged up including OT Ogden.

 

Donovan McNabb - QB - Eagles - On the road against an good Minnesota defense and he hasn't done a whole lot lately. Kevin Curtis might need to join him on your bench.

 

Lamont Jordan - RB - Oakland - On the road against the tough Tennessee defense. He is struggling and Dominic Rhodes will start to take away more carries.

 

Marvin Harrison - WR - Colts - His injury has limited him & he should ride your bench until he shows signs of breaking out.

 

 

Start

 

Brian Griese - QB - Bears - At home vs. the Lions is as good as it gets for him. He is coming off some good fantasy plays. Completes a lot of passes for PPC leagues.

 

Jason Wright - RB - Browns - St. Louis's defense is average and if Jamal Lewis is out he makes a solid start if you need a RB.

 

Ben Roethlisberger - QB - An easy call against Cincinnati, plus there is a chance for a nice shoot-out if the Bengals can do something at home. Santonio Holmes and Heath Miller should have solid performances along with him.

 

Jesse Chatman - RB - Dolphins - The one thing the Dolphins have done well all season is run the ball. Even Chatman did well early on, threatening Brown's job. The Giant rush defense id good, but not amazing (10th overall).

 

Roydell Williams - WR - Titans - If you need a WR start during the bye, Williams is getting a lot more looks lately and has big-play ability. The Oakland secondary hasn't done a lot this season either.

 

LenDale White - RB - Titans - Over a 100 hundred yards and a TD last week and may do the same with Brown out again.

 

Vince Young - QB - Titans - Back from an injury just in time to play against the weak Raiders and Daunte Culpepper.

 

Lee Evans - WR - Bills -Finally played well last week catching 5 passes for 98 yards. Should continue to improve his stats as rookie QB Trent Edwards gets comfortable.

 

Kevin Walter - WR - Texans - Even if Matt Shaub is out someone will catch some passes and it has been Walters with 18 in the last 2 games. Better in points for receptions leagues.

 

Ike Hillard - WR - Buccaneers - If you are desperate need of a WR Hillard may have a solid game even against a good Jaguar defense who may tire out being on the field.

 

 

Week 6:

Sit

 

Thomas Jones - RB - Jets - His has been a fantasy bum and now he goes into the tough Philadelphia run defense.

 

Vince Young - QB - Titans - On the road against a very good Buccaneer secondary.

 

Matt Schaub - QB - Texans - On the road against an excellent Jacksonville secondary and Andre Johnson is still out.

 

Brian Leonard - RB - Rams - The offense did improve, but it is likely to struggle in Baltimore.

 

Earnest Graham - RB - Buccaneers - If you're in the bye-bind, start him, but the Titan run defense is stout and Graham hasn't proven he can take the load yet.

 

Oakland Raiders - RB's - Playing in San Diego against a tough run D and are likely to play from behind. All 3 backs may split the fantasy numbers as well.

 

Atlanta Falcon RB's - Until one steps up they are both fantasy bums. If you have to start one, we prefer Norwood because he could break a big one.

 

 

Start

 

Derrick Mason - WR - Ravens - He is coming off a 11 catch game and now has 44 total catches in 2007 and he is at home vs. the Rams.

 

Jason Wright - RB - Browns - Miami's run defense has struggled and Jamal Lewis is out.

 

Brian Griese - QB - If you need a QB start with the byes, Griese looked very solid last week in the big win at Green Bay. The Vikings should stuff the run, but the struggle against the pass.

 

Maurice Jones-Drew - RB - Jaguars - Finally performed in week 5 and Taylor is injured, though he may play.

 

Dennis Northcutt - WR Jaguars - If you need a WR start during the bye, Jacksonville at home vs. Houston is a sold start for the only WR making noise in Jacksonville.

 

Dwayne Bowe - WR - Chiefs - At home vs. the lowly Bengals defense.

 

Donovan McNabb - QB - Philadelphia - The Jets defense stinks and coming off the bye McNabb and Westbrook are rested and ready.

 

Kevin Curtis - WR - Philadelphia - If McNabb does well a WR must do well and why not Curtis again?

 

Chad Pennington - QB - Jets - We see McNabb lighting it up and, at home to stay close, Pennington will need to do the same.

 

Jeff Garcia - QB - Buccaneers - The Titans may stuff the run but Garcia will find the end zone 2 times and toss for over 250.

 

Ike Hillard - WR - Buccaneers - If you are need of a WR Hillard may have a solid game vs. a soft Titan secondary.

 

Bobby Engram - WR - Seahawks - One again, if you need a start. At home vs. the awful Saints should give him at least 5 catches.
