\"fantasy-football\"<\/a>Welcome to another installment of who to start and who to sit while making your weekly fantasy football lineup decisions.\u00a0 We will not cover the obvious starts but may call out a few high ranked players that I think may underperform for the week. \u00a0We went 14-7 in the start \u2018em portion and 14-9 in the sit \u2018em portion, not too bad. Let\u2019s get to this week\u2019s list;<\/p>\n

Start \u2018Em<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Colin Kaepernick \u2013 Yes he has been struggling but the cure is coming in the Redskins<\/li>\n
  • Mike Glennon \u2013 Starting to play quite well and gets an awful Lions pass defense to keep up his hot run<\/li>\n
  • Case Keenum \u2013 He did get benched last week but the Jaguars will make him look good and give him a full game.<\/li>\n
  • Eli Manning \u2013 He has been pretty awful as well but the Cowboys are coming who he always plays well against plus they are even worse on defense this year.<\/li>\n
  • Scott Tolzien \u2013 He throws too many ints but the Vikings should leave his skill guys wide open and make it easier for him.<\/li>\n
  • Andre Brown \u2013 He lost a goal line carry last week but got 85% of the RB touches, an every week starter.<\/li>\n
  • Rashad Jennings \u2013 He is running strong and getting the attempts while getting a fading Titans defense.<\/li>\n
  • Ben Tate \u2013 He looked healthier last week and got most of the carries, should be solid versus the Jaguars.<\/li>\n
  • Darren Sproles \u2013 This is a gamble but more of a bet against the Falcons defense.<\/li>\n
  • Shane Vereen \u2013 He looked good in limited touches last week, his usage will continue to grow.<\/li>\n
  • Chris Ogbonnaya \u2013 Here is my longshot who has been dominating touches for the Browns and gets a leaky Steelers run defense.<\/li>\n
  • Torrey Smith \u2013 While the Jets are great versus the run, they are so-so vs the pass and he is due for a touchdown.<\/li>\n
  • Eric Decker \u2013 With Welker may not playing he should be able to step up and put up big numbers.<\/li>\n
  • Marques Colston \u2013 He seems to have gotten back in Brees good graces and the Falcons are easy pickings.<\/li>\n
  • Alshon Jeffrey \u2013 The Rams cornerbacks are giving up over 70% completion to wide receivers and have no one to matchup with the Bears beasts.<\/li>\n
  • Anquan Boldin \u2013 This is a play against the Redskins.<\/li>\n
  • Kendell Wright \u2013 He puts up solid numbers every week, 7 catches and 70 yards, not too bad.<\/li>\n
  • James Jones \u2013 I think he comes back to life this week versus the Vikings, he looked healthy last week.<\/li>\n
  • Michael Floyd \u2013 A nice coming out party last week which should continue against an overrated Colts defense.<\/li>\n
  • Rod Streater \u2013 Here is my longshot for receivers, showed nice chemistry with the rookie last week which I think will continue.<\/li>\n
  • Coby Fleener \u2013 He is finally clicking and Arizona is the worst team defending tight ends in the league.<\/li>\n
  • John Carlson \u2013 He put 2 solid weeks together and has a connection with Ponder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \u00a0Bench \u2018Em<\/strong><\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Robert Griffin \u2013 He seems to get decent stats almost every week and is a better fantasy QB than real life but the 49ers put an end to that this week.<\/li>\n
    • Ben Roethlisberger \u2013 Coming off a great week runs into a tough Browns pass defense in possible bad weather.<\/li>\n
    • Philip Rivers \u2013 He has slowed down is should be on a bench this week versus the Chiefs.<\/li>\n
    • Matt Ryan \u2013 He should not even be on a roster, looks like a product of great talent around him.<\/li>\n
    • Stevan Ridley \u2013 He is very touchdown reliant and now could be in the doghouse after yet another fumble.<\/li>\n
    • Alfred Morris \u2013 It will be tough to bench him but the 49ers are so tough versus the run.<\/li>\n
    • Chris Ivory \u2013 The Ravens have been better ion defense lately and most of Ivory\u2019s production came on 1 garbage time run.<\/li>\n
    • Maurice Jones-Drew \u2013 Another who is very touchdown reliant, a very tough option in any week.<\/li>\n
    • Ray Rice \u2013 He came back from the dead versus the awful Bears defense but now gets the Jets.\u00a0 His run is over.<\/li>\n
    • Andre Ellington \u2013 He has the talent but not the touches, Mendenhall must have naked pictures of Arian\u2019s.<\/li>\n
    • Steven Jackson \u2013 Just not enough touches and when he gets them, he has lost at least 2 steps.<\/li>\n
    • Josh Gordon \u2013 He has great talent but I see the Steelers keeping Taylor on him and slowing him down.<\/li>\n
    • T.Y Hilton \u2013 Even with Wayne gone, he has been hit or miss and Peterson slows him down again.<\/li>\n
    • Antonio Brown \u2013 On a crazy good run which stop at the corner of Joe Haden.<\/li>\n
    • Danny Amendola \u2013 He looked healthy but all short possession like catches, not startable.<\/li>\n
    • Cecil Shorts \u2013 He had a ton of complaints but the head coach cannot fix an awful Chad Henne.<\/li>\n
    • Steve Smith \u2013 Even with Newton playing so well his numbers are barely WR3 worthy.<\/li>\n
    • Keenan Allen \u2013 Two bad weeks in a row and a lingering injury plus a tough matchup puts him on the bench.<\/li>\n
    • Hakeem Nicks \u2013 Even with a great matchup he is putting together the emptiest 1,000 yard season ever.<\/li>\n
    • Jordan Cameron \u2013 His production is way down and has a tough matchup as well.<\/li>\n
    • Tony Gonzalez \u2013 Even healthy the Falcon offense is a mess, stay away.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Have a great week and let me know if you have any questions.<\/p>\n
