He has not been impressive but at home versus a pretty awful Chiefs defense, this should be his week.<\/li>\n<li>Colin Kaepernick &#8211; While the Crds have had a good start, Kap has always killed them in their building for almost 20 points a game in fantasy world.<\/li>\n<li>Kirk Cousins &#8211; He is in an offense which fits his game perfectly and with his weapons, start him confidently.<\/li>\n<li>Jay Cutler &#8211; The Jets may have the worst secondary in the NFL and expect Cutler to continue his hot hand and looking ahead has a great schedule moving forward.<\/li>\n<li>Ahmad Bradshaw &#8211; Its easy to see him being the more talented RB,\u00a0 start him before he breaks down from the heavy usage.<\/li>\n<li>Matt Asiata \u2013 He is not pretty but he is productive and is a great blocker and is well ahead of Mckinnon at this point plus he gets the Saints who are pretty awful.<\/li>\n<li>Chris Ivory- He is also the better back on the Jets and against a weak Bears defense should have a good day.<\/li>\n<li>Bobby Rainey \u2013 He has been announced the starter, ripped up the Rams and may get a worse run defense in the Falcons this week.<\/li>\n<li>Michael Crabtree &#8211; He has played well in the past vs the Cards and last week\u2019s break out should continue.<\/li>\n<li>DeSean Jackson &#8211; This is a revenge game versus the Eagles and should take advantage of his new QB.<\/li>\n<li>Marques Colston &#8211; He was shut out last week so I would expect Brees to overcompensate and get him the ball early and often.<\/li>\n<li>Delanie Walker &#8211; He does play a tough Bengals defense but is near the lead in targets and is Locker\u2019s favorite target.<\/li>\n<li>Charles Clay &#8211; He got 8 targets last week and is a sneaky play against the Chiefs who have issues defending the tight end.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Bench \u2018Em<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Tom Brady &#8211; He does have a nice matchup but he does not look right and if they get a large lead early, I would not expect much production<\/li>\n<li>Tony Romo &#8211; He is another who does not look healthy and on the road against a defense that should break out in the Rams, there are much better options this week.<\/li>\n<li>Reggie Bush &#8211; He is barely a flex play in losing many touches to Bell,\u00a0 no confidence in him week in or week out.<\/li>\n<li>Doug Martin &#8211; He looks to be either inactive or will have a very small role, the new staff favors Rainey.<\/li>\n<li>Trent Richardson &#8211; Even though last week was his best game, he should not be in any lineup.<\/li>\n<li>Reggie Wayne &#8211; He had a slow game last week and looks to be the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> option in the Colts offense.<\/li>\n<li>Michael Floyd &#8211; I am worried about Drew Stanton, if he starts, Floyd should be on the bench.<\/li>\n<li>Sammy Watkins &#8211; He had a huge game last week but get a tough Chargers defense and should come back to earth.<\/li>\n<li>Jordan Cameron &#8211; He is banged up and may or may not play,\u00a0 make other plans.<\/li>\n<li>Heath Miller &#8211; Carolina is again a very tough defense, I would start a Niles Paul instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to our 3rd 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 Hopefully you somehow avoided the injury\/suspension carnage last week.\u00a0 [&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":[4,1337],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-26431","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fantasy-football","8":"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-6Sj","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26431","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=26431"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26431\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26435,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26431\/revisions\/26435"}],"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=26431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
