Week one Sit / Start

It's week one time and this post is all fantasy! It's sit 'em or start 'em time. Ok, here is how this one is going to go. I am going to take each game of the weekend and Monday and tell you which guy or guys to sit (that you might want to start) and guys to start (that you might want to sit). I can't say it all in this blog so don't use this as your only "source", this is merely reasonably decent fantasy information, based on fact, opinion, research, and bias. There are certain guys on every team that should be started every week, you know who they are. I will not mention those guys unless I feel like they are not starters for the week. Ok, here goes.

Cleveland @ Tampa Bay
Sit : Any Tampa Bay wide receiver that you might have, don't do it... take your finger off the button
Start: Jerome Harrison (Tampa Bay is not good against the run, start this guy. Please.)

Miami @ Buffalo
Sit: Bills = Good pass defense...sit Brandon Marshall
Start: Bills = Awful run defense...start Ronnie Brown and/or Ricky Williams

Cincinatti @ New England
Sit: Any NE Running Back.  Why? Who knows which ones (plural) will play and the Bengals have a decent run defense.
Start:  Welker.  No worries about the knee here. Oh, and I think T.O. out fantasy performs Ochocinco

Colts @ Texans
Sit: Not big on Reggie Wayne here, but I think the guys that need sitting are Donald Brown and Steve Slaton. No way they are even flex plays this week, this game will be pass heavy.
Start: Kevin Walter (what no Jacoby Jones?) not this week. Walter is still #2.

Denver @ Jacksonville
Sit: David Garrard and Mike Sims-Walker
Start: Kyle Orton. If you got him to split time with another QB, he is the guy against this bad bad defense. Also Jabar Gaffney will have a huge week.

Falcons @ Steelers
Sit: Any Falcon not named Roddy White.  Chances are you have to start Michael Turner, that does not mean I think it's a good idea.
Start: I see this one as a struggle so other than the obvious I really have no favorites on this one. Maybe Heath Miller if you've got him.

Oakland @ Tennessee
Sit:  Don't dare start a Titans WR, just don't.
Start: Zack Miller, I see Campbell checking down a lot.

Carolina @ Giants
Sit:  Brandon Jacobs (see below)
Start: Ahmad Bradshaw, the "new" #1 running back for the Giants. I see their defense as better this year, causing them to be in less shootouts, and running more.

Detroit @ Chicago
Sit: You weren't really going to start anyone other than Calvin Johnson from the Lions were you? Come on it's the Lions.
Start: Jay Cutler has a great game here.  Also don't be afraid of Matt Forte, he's going to really do it this year!

Arizona @ St. Louis
Sit: Beanie Wells may not play, he was held out of practice on Thursday and that really makes me think he is a no for Sunday.
Start: Any Cardinal you've got, love them all here except for Beanie Wells, looks like he might not play. Could be a big game for Hightower.

Green Bay @ Philly
Sit: LeSean McCoy, he is facing last year's best run defense. Green Bay will be ahead big, just don't.
Start: Kevin Kolb and the Philly receivers will be in for a big game when this one turns into a shootout.

49ers @ Seahawks
Sit: All Seahawks.  Forsett could be ok, but you probably have someone better.
Start: All 49ers you've got, except Alex Smith the QB.  There are better options elsewhere. Gore, Crabtree, Vernon Davis will all have a big game.

Cowboys @ Skins
Sit: Never ever start Roy Williams unless I tell you otherwise.
Start: I like Portis in this match up, just saying.

Chargers @ Chiefs

Sit: I don't think you can trust Thomas Jones just yet.

Start: Malcon Floyd/Legedu Naanee.  The Bolts are going to be throwing all over the place.

Best Game of the Week

Ravens @ Jets
Sit: Flacco, Bolden, any other non Ray Rice offensive component. Why?  It's time for Reeves Island.

Start: It's hard to recommend anyone here, this one is going to be dominated by defense. I would really look elsewhere if you want some guaranteed fantasy points.
