Friday Sit Start

Yeah yeah I know, I forgot to preview the Thursday night game... I will try to do better.

DET @ BUF Ralph Wilson Stadium 1:00 PM
The Lions give up the second most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Even though Fred Jackson has been mediocre so far this year, if he ever had a game to breakout in, here it is. I am not as high on Ryan Fitzpatrick and Steve Johnson this week. I think that the Lions will struggle to score based on the fact that they could be down to their 3rd QB. I see the Bills running a lot, running the clock, and getting there first "W". For the Lions I think you can say that Calvin Johnson has value and is a starter regardless of the situation. Lots of guys are high on Javhid Best this week, I am not, sorry.

CAR @ TB Raymond James Stadium 1:00 PM 
I start no Panther. Oh yeah, Steve Smith could have maybe a bit of.... NO! Start no Panther. Thank me later. I love Josh Freeman, Mike Williams and the Bucks defense this week. You heard one of our other bloggers say it this week too, Carolina is bad. I'm not hatin', I'm just sayin'. To a lesser extent I like Blount but as nothing more than a Flex.

MIN @ CHI Soldier Field 1:00 PM
Da' Bears defense loves to pick on a QB's mistakes....enter "Old Grey Beard". I think Peterson and Shiancoe will have good days, I like Harvin but much less than the other two guys. I am for sure not buying "the Beard" to repeat from last week. For the Bears their defense and Matt Forte are the only two I trust. I see Cutler being decent, but I like Favre better than him, that should really tell you something.

HOU @ JAC EverBank Field 1:00 PM
Who's going to David Garrard's house with me after the game??? Ok maybe that was a stretch, but here is what I say. I am taking over 28 fantasy points for Garrard in this game. I also love Sims-Walker, Mike Thomas, and Marcedes Lewis too. I like MJD, but a bit less because it will be so easy for them to throw. Also, I see this one being a shootout, so that's good news for all fantasy players involved. For the Texans I love Arian Foster and Andre Johnson. I think after last week Andre has finally returned to form. I like Shaub in this matchup, even though he has been less than awesome this year.

TEN @ MIA Sun Life Stadium 1:00 PM
Randy Moss plays for who??? I think with the addition of Moss, Chris Johnson's value goes up (if it could get any higher). Defenses will have to key on Moss which makes Johnson, and Nate Washington's value huge. Nate Washington is a guy you should pickup and sit on for a while, just call it a hunch. I like Vince Young in this matchup as well. It should be a good day for the Titans. This will be a tough game for the Fins. I cannot recommend any Miami RB, I don't like Henne either. If you have Brandon Marshall you start him, and start Davone Bess if  your in a PPR.

NYJ @ CLE Cleveland Browns Stadium 1:00 PM
I would start Petyon Hillis against a 10 foot high brick wall. Now that you know that, you should also know that he is the only Brown I like this week and I don't love him in this matchup. I guess Ben Watson could be an interesting play if you need a TE, but the Jets defense is tough, real tough. For the Jets it's easy, start everyone remotely involved in the Offense except Cotchery. The Browns D is nowhere as good as they looked last week. Just wait, you will see.

CIN @ IND Lucas Oil Stadium 1:00 PM
You have to love Cedric Benson in this game. The Colts run defense is bad, it is Benson's time to shine. I also I like T.O. in this game, and I know at some point Ochocinco will breakout, could it be this week? I think that Palmer could be decent this week, but chances are you have someone better. For the Colts you start Manning, Wayne, Donald Brown (the only Healthy running back), and Jacob Tamme. Tamme should be owned and started in your league this week, if he is not... you know what you have to do.

KC @ DEN Invesco Field at Mile High 4:05 PM
Welcome the best running back duo in football and the worst run defense. I am all in on Jammal Charles and Thomas Jones, you should be too. I also like Bowe, Moeaki, and Cassel in this game, because you can't run all the time. On the Denver side of the ball it is hard to trust anyone. Moreno should have a solid game, apart from that Orton and Lloyd are the only other two Bronc's I want.


STL @ SF Candlestick Park 4:15 PM
Hey look the 49ers still play football... who knew. For them it's easy, start Frank Gore and Vernon Davis... BOOM. For the Rammers I really like Steven Jackson in this game and really no one else. I can see the Rams rushing the ball a ton, playing keep away and winning 10 to 3... let's see how close I get.


DAL @ NYG New Meadowlands Stadium 4:15 PM
The Giants are playing the best football in the NFL right now, I see them destroying the Cowboys. Do you really want to start someone from Dallas? Yes. I see Dallas being down big, needing to throw, and Miles Austin and Dez Bryant having value. I think that Kitna could be decent, but will probably throw so many interceptions that it ruins his value. For the G-men, Bradshaw. That is all I need to say. Remember the beat down the Giants put on Seattle last week? I see every player coming within a few points of last week's numbers again this week. In short, start your Giants.

SEA @ ARI University of Phoenix Stadium 4:15 PM
Welcome back, Larry Fitzgerald!! To me I think that Fitz has proven that he warrants an every week start. Apart from Fitz, Beanie Wells is the only other Cardinal you want. For Seattle I think that Mike Williams and Marshawn Lynch should be decent, but I really don't love any Seahawk this week.

NE @ PIT Heinz Field 8:20 PM
You want know who your must starts for the Pats are??? Tom Brady, Aaron Hernandez, and Danny Woodhead. Not even Wes Welker??? No. The Pats are much more of a running team than they have been in years past, but against the Steelers you don't do much running. I see another big "L" for the Pats here.  The Pats defense is pretty bad, so you gotta love all your Steelers here.  I'm not that high on Heath Miller, but other than that I think your Steelers are "safe" plays.


Monday and Game of the Week
PHI @ WAS FedEx Field 8:30 PM
This is a big divisional game, for each of these teams, and I love the Eagles in this matchup. Vick, McCoy, Jackson, and Maclin should all be big in this game. Celek is a no-go. In a Mike Vick led offense, in fact, I think that his value is gone and you should consider dropping him and picking up another TE. Hernandez, Moeki, and Tamme are all way better options. On to the Skins... I like Santana Moss and Ryan Torain, Boom thats it. I don't trust anyone else for the Skins this week.
