Obviously don’t start anyone on the following teams…
Bye: Dallas, Kansas City, Minnesota, Tampa Bay
Also, remember that the value of players change as teams go on their bye week. For example, a guy like TE Aaron Hernandez might not be startable in many leagues, but this week with 3 “fantasy” starting TEs out he should be in someone’s line up.
San Francisco at Atlanta 1:00 PM FOX
Sit: I am worried about the 49ers big time and ATL just beat the Saints. I think Frank Gore and Vernon Davis are starts, all others sit. ATL looks better but Matt Ryan is still a sit.
Start: Usual guys here, for Atlanta Tony Gonzalez looked a bit better last week so you might start him with a bit more confidence. Roddy White has been a beast all year; he will be one here too.
Cincinnati at Cleveland 1:00 PM CBS
Sit: T.O., now that I have said that he will probably catch like 4 touchdowns but oh well. Jerome Harrison, if Hillis isn’t the guy after last week the world is doomed. I believe there is gold in the Hillis. Not a big fan of the Bengals defense considering what the browns did to the Ravens defense.
Start: Hillis for the Browns is a must start every week from here till I tell you different. You probably want no one else for the browns here. Palmer could be good here. Ochiocinco, Benson both no brainers. Jordan Shipley is rising to fantasy relevance, taking on a Wes Welker type fantasy role, no don’t start him yet, but he could be a sleeper for year end.
NY Jets at Buffalo 1:00 PM CBS
Sit: All BILLS, YES ALL, not most… ALL. Bills are without a doubt the worst team in the NFL. Shonn Green, I really liked him coming into the year, but currently LT is the guy in New York, and Shonn Green has just looked bad.
Start: J.E.T.S. Jets, Jets, Jets. I even think Sanchez might be good here. LT, Drunken Braylon Edwards, Keller (best TE in football so far); Jets Defense all blowup vs. the Bills.
Seattle at St. Louis 1:00 PM FOX
Sit: Even with Steven Jackson hurt I still don’t think that any of his replacements will have value against the Seahawks. Julius Jones finally didn’t get a carry last week; I think that will continue.
Start: Most Hawks, Hasselbeck should be ok here if your QB is on a bye. Justin Forsett, Seahawks receivers, Defense all good here. Mark Clayton for the Rams has been consistent over the past few weeks, and I see St. Louie being down and needing to throw.
Denver at Tennessee 1:00 PM CBS
Sit: I still don’t like anyone involved in the Titans passing game. I think that Correll Buckhalter is also a “sit”. He didn’t do much with his work last week, even with Moreno out.
Start: I think you like most of your normal Broncos here; I really like Maloney if Moreno is out again this week. The passing game for the Broncos has been good but the ball is really being spread around so just be aware of this.
Detroit at Green Bay 1:00 PM FOX
Sit: I can’t really think of a reason that you would need to play anyone involved in the Detroit passing game.
Start: Javid Best, I think he will have decent success here. All of your Packers will get a go in this one. Brandon Jackson might even get some good points.
Carolina at New Orleans 1:00 PM FOX
Sit: I know it sounds crazy but at this point it makes me want to throw up just thinking about starting a Panther. Given that, I still think based on where the guys were drafted Steve Smith and DeAnglo Williams you will need to start.
Start: I really like the Saints in this matchup, but the running back situation with Bush and now Thomas out could be messy.
Indianapolis at Jacksonville 4:05 PM CBS
Sit: Jacksonville is just plain bad. Since you are going to start MJD anyway regardless of me telling you I think he is iffy, make sure he is the only Jag you start. Donald Brown, lots of folks like him, I don’t #2 running back on a pass first team, no thanks. Pierre Garcon, still a bit banged up, didn’t play last week, hold off on him for a bit.
Start: All Colts not mentioned above. Reggie Wayne and or Austin Collie could go off this week.
Houston at Oakland 4:05 PM CBS
Sit: Jacoby Jones, he has not turned out to be the guy we thought just yet, but there is still time! Michael Bush is a no, McFadden is the guy.
Start: The Texans should have a big day on the ground and in the air. The only Raider that you could start with any confidence would be Zack Miller.
Washington at Philadelphia 4:15 PM FOX
Sit: For the most part I like all Fantasy relevant players in this one.
Start: I really like just about everyone here, even McNabb. He is returning to Philly for the first time. I like his chances.
Arizona at San Diego 4:15 PM FOX
Sit: Arizona is pretty bad, I would stay away from all but Fitz and Wells.
Start: Arizona is pretty bad, you want all your Chargers here.
Chicago at NY Giants 8:20 PM NBC
Sit: After a few weeks of WR rotation, Knox and Hester are clearly the only Bears WRs with value. I don’t really trust anyone on the Giants but Bradshaw.
Start: I think that Cutler could have a decent week here. Matt Forte will be big. I could also see Steve Smith become relevant this week.
MON, OCT 4 TIME (ET)
New England at Miami 8:30 PM
Sit: Fred Taylor, he is hurt and Green-Ellis has taken over. I trust no Miami WR other than Marshall.
Start: I think you like all your Pats passing threats here. Ronnie Brown and Rickey Williams are in for good games because New England’s defense is just plain bad.
Bye: Dallas, Kansas City, Minnesota, Tampa Bay
(Thought I would sneak this in one more time)
Game of the Week
Baltimore at Pittsburgh 1:00 PM CBS
Sit: This should be a battle of the Defenses. Will it be? Who knows. I don’t like anyone of the Ravens RBs this week. Ray Rice is most likely out and Willis McGahee is not that impressive. Also not a Flacco guy this week.
Start: I think Bolden will be fairly safe; I also like Mendehall after what Hillis did to the Ravens last week. Hines Ward should be ok as well. Other than that I expect lots of Defense here so I look somewhere else for players this week.
