He goes on the road but gets the Giants defense who look lost especially against the pass, this is a top 10 QB this week.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jake Locker<\/strong> &#8211; If you are streaming QB\u2019s always go against the Cowboys, it does not get easier especially at home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Knowshown Moreno<\/strong> &#8211; He is an every week start with the amount of touches it looks like he will get.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Terrance West<\/strong> &#8211; He is now the RB1 in an offense that will feed the Rb\u2019s and has a plus home matchup versus the Saints.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Justin Forsett<\/strong> &#8211; I do not like his long term prospects but with an awful Steelers rushing defense, this is his week.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carlos Hyde<\/strong> &#8211; This is a tad of a long shot but he looked quick and powerful and there should be enough touches against a bad Bears run defense to make him a flex play this week.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jeremy Maclin<\/strong> &#8211; He led the team in targets last week and the Colts defense is below average, ride him till he gets injured.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Larry Fitzgerald<\/strong> &#8211; Palmer will make sure he gets plenty of opportunities after complaining and getting few last week.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kendall Wright<\/strong> &#8211; Finally got a touchdown last week and start everyone you have against the Cowboys.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eric Decker<\/strong> &#8211; He had a solid game last week and the Packers had some holes in their secondary last week and the Jets will have to throw to stay in the game.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Delanie Walker<\/strong> \u2013 He continued to productivity from the end of last year and the Cowboys gave up 2 TD\u2019s to the tight end last week.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dwayne Allen<\/strong> &#8211; I like him if you need an injury replacement , his targets should continue to grow and expand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00a0Bench \u2018Em<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Matt Stafford<\/strong> &#8211; He looked great against the Giants but now gets a real defense on the road in the Panthers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Matt Ryan<\/strong> &#8211; Another guy who shined last week but plays much worse on the road and against a very good secondary in the Bengals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eddie Lacy<\/strong> &#8211; He has 2 things going against him, one coming off a concussion and if the Packers get off to a big lead they may rest him plus the Jets have a great run defense.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chris Johnson<\/strong> \u2013 He ran pretty well but almost has a 50\/50 snaps breakdown wit Ivory, I do not see him as a top 15 back this week and expect a better Packers performance at home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Andre Ellington<\/strong> &#8211; He was able to grind it out last week but do not see him getting enough snaps\/touches to make him a RB2 this week even against the Giants.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ryan Mathews<\/strong> &#8211; He only had 12 carries last week in a true RRBC plus is going against the Seahawks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Percy Harvin<\/strong> &#8211; Only an option in PPR, he will not score to make him a non-bye week starter in a standard league<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cordarrelle Patterson<\/strong> &#8211; Sure he had a big game but ended with 6 touches and playing a tough defense in the 49ers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>DeSean Jackson<\/strong> &#8211; The Washington passing game is too short and struggling, let it work itself out before starting him.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jason Witten<\/strong> &#8211; Romo still looks injured and the Titans are very strong defending the tight end position, stay away this week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I wish everyone luck this year and let\u2019s all have a great week and let me know if you have any questions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Mike<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to our 2nd installment of Start \u2018em and Sit \u2018em.\u00a0 I try and not call out obvious decisions and make this productive for possible decisions that fantasy owner have to make.\u00a0 We have done with for a few years with good results and great feedback.\u00a0 I also caution to not overreact to your studs, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":14193,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4,5,1337],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-26317","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fantasy-football","8":"category-fantasy-sports","9":"category-home-slider"},"acf":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/fantasy_football.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/peLffi-6Qt","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26317"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26317\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26320,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26317\/revisions\/26320"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
