Stay Active in Your Leagues:<\/strong> Nothing kills a FF league faster than an owner who abandoned his team week three because his draft sucked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Check the Injury report:<\/strong> Nothing will sink you FF team faster than playing a guy who got hurt last week because you didn&#8217;t check the injury report.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Play Matchups:<\/strong> Simple&#8211;If you have a RB who is playing the worst ranked rushing D in the league&#8230;Start him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Check the Depth Charts:<\/strong> Everybody thinks they know everything. So I&#8217;m never suprised to hear &#8220;what do you mean he&#8217;s the fifth string WR..did you see his catch at memphis?&#8230;He&#8217;s the man!!&#8221; It helps to know where guys are on the depth chart<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Make a Commitment:<\/strong> Once a week you should have a day or evening set aside to gather your info for the week (injury report, matchup info and start or sit info) and some time to set your rosters accordingly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Use the Waiver Wire:<\/strong> The WW can be a huge factor in winning your league. Guys get hurt every week and people are always dropping guys they shouldn&#8217;t. Being active can land you some big time talent for bottom of the barrel prices.<\/p>\n<p>Stick to those six things and you will stay on top of things in your fantasy leagues and put yourself in the poisition to win your league.<\/p>\n<p>and without any further adieu this weeks start or sit<\/p>\n<p><strong>Week 1 : Start or Sit <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Start &#8216;Em<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Running Back: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>C.Portis<br \/>\nR.Johnson<br \/>\nW.McGahee<br \/>\nK.Jones<br \/>\nS.Jackson<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wide Receiver:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>C.Johnson<br \/>\nT.Holt<br \/>\nT.Owens<br \/>\nL.Coles<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quarterback:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>C.Palmer<br \/>\nM.Bulger<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Sit &#8216;Em <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Running Back:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>C.Benson\/T.Jones<br \/>\nR.Brown<br \/>\nD.Davis<br \/>\nM.Bennett<br \/>\nF.Taylor<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wide Receiver:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>M.Muhammed<br \/>\nR.Smith<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tight End:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> A.Gates<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By now most of you have completed your Fantasy Football drafts and are ready to get going.
