Calvin Johnson

Titus Young - OUT

Roddy White - Tampa has the worst Pass D in the NFL

Tony Gonzalez

Josh Freeman

Vincent Jackson

Dallas Clark - Leads the team in Red Zone Targets.

 

 

SIT

Michael Turner - He HAS TO get a TD in order to have a good game. With turner you just can't guess the correct TD week

Tennessee vs Jacksonville

START

Chad Henne - Titans have allow 18.2 points to opposing quarterbacks each week in standard-scoring leagues—27th in the NFL.

Marcedes Lewis

Kendall Wright

Baltimore vs San Diego

START

Philip Rivers - Raven secondary is a MASH unit. ranked #27 in pass defense

Danario Alexander - Rivers has found his new Toy, and with the Reed suspension the Ravens are down another DB.

Joe Flacco - Going to have to throw a lot to keep pace with Rivers

Torrey Smith -

Anquan Boldin -

 

 

SIT

Ryan Mathews - He gets ZERO carries in the red zone. He needs a massive yardage game to score a ton of points.

Robert Meachem

Ray Rice - Chargers have the #3 Rush defense. Even with 20 carries last week Rice only had 40 yards on the ground.

Jacoby Jones

Dennis Pitta

Antonio Gates - Is age catching up with him? ZERO 100 yard games all year. Only one game of more than 4 receptions.

 

 

 

San Francisco vs New Orleans

START

Drew Brees - N.O. has the #2 Passing offense.

Marques Colston - They're not going to be able to run against the 49ers. So Colston will have a ton of targets

Lance Moore - See Colston. Moore has had four games of nine-plus targets.

Jimmy Graham - The most dangerous receiving weapon on the Saints

Colin Kaepernick - If he gets the starting nod he'll explode. Saints D is awful and he tore up the Bears tough D.

 

 

SIT

Mark Ingram - 49ers just don't let teams run on them

Pierre Thomas

Devery Henderson

Michael Crabtree - 49ers are the @1 rushing team. If they're going to win, they're going to do it their way. Running and D.

Frank Gore - Saints are going to score quickly and often. Limited Carries for Gore

Mario Manningham

Randy Moss

Vernon Davis - He'll be blocking all night, 8 Targets with Kaepernick at QB so it all comes down to who the QB is.

Darren Sproles - 49ers are the #2 Rushing D. N.O. has the #2 Passing offense.

 

 

 

St. Louis vs Arizona

START

Danny Amendola - He has 18 receptions the last two weeks. PPR Machine

 

 

SIT

John Skelton or Ryan Lindey

LaRod Stephens-Howling - Wells is scheduled back.

Larry Fitzgerald - 1 catch last week and he's facing a very good Rams secondary. Only had 1 100 yard game this year. Not even 600 yards receiving for the season.

Michael Floyd

Andre Roberts - disappeared last week. Rams DBs are just amazing

Rob Housler

Sam Bradford - Arizona's D is for real. Arizona has also allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to quarterback at home in 2012.

Brandon Gibson

Austin Pettis

Lance Kendricks

Chris Wells - First week back and the running game is nonexistent

Martellus Bennett - Green Bay GB has allowed just one touchdown to opposing tight ends over the past eight games.

Jermichael Finley

Ahmad Bradshaw

 

 

 

Carolina vs Philly

START

Cam Newton - I'm not sure the Philly D will make an appearance. RG3's 4 TD performance against this unit was no fluke. Newton may run for over 80 yards on this team

Steve Smith

 

SIT

Nick Foles - unless that line can channel the powers of Orlando Pace, Foles may be knocked out of the game

LeSean McCoy - He won't play

Jeremy Maclin

DeSean Jackson - only has seven catches for 67 yards in his last two games.

Brent Celek

DeAngelo Williams

Jonathan Stewart

Brandon LaFell

'Stevan Ridley - Patriots take advantage of a teams weakness and the Jets have the #4 ranked pass defense. Sit Ridley. Looks like the Indy game all over again.'

 

What does this mean? I swear I'm not trying to give you guys a hard time but wouldn't having a good ranked pass defense mean that the Pats would run on them?

 

IE take advantage of the other teams weakness?

 

Also after this weeks game, based on yardage, the Jets have the #31st ranked rush defense and #14 ranked pass defense. Where'd you get #4 from?

You could probably win a fantasy game just by starting players on their sit list from the Thanksgiving day games.

 

QB: RG3

RB: Alf Morris

RB: Ridley

WR: Broyles

WR: Garcon

WR: S Moss

TE: Pettigrew

Flex: Leshoure

the only player this list has to start from the St. Louis/Ari game is one who is Doubtful to play.

 

Sit Frank Gore vs the worst rush defense in history? I don't think so. You'd have to be a complete idiot to sit Gore in this matchup. The 49's D might not "contain" the NO OFF, but they certainly won't let them score "early and often". Even if they did Frank Gore is still going to get enough touches to get his points vs a team that allows, what?, 7 yards/carry to RBs.

Kind of a useless list, conservative sand no sleepers

 

And yet people hated my RG3, D Martin, and AP picks to name a few.

the stud/dud thing these guys did was not awful. they come across as complete dbags, but those stud/dud posts were about what youd expect from joe blow and pals doing a fantasy podcast.

 

this however is utterly hilarious.

 

just take the very first game as an example.

 

Lions vs. Texans

 

Start Stafford, Calvin, Andre, and Foster? REALLY? players like this do not belong on start/sit articles unless you're going out on a limb and telling readers/listeners to sit them. And even then, you need to give some sort of reasoning beyond "going out on a limb because thats what people want". Listing these guys as starts is a waste of time and space

 

Then we get to the players who actually should be on lists like these... Leshoure, Young, Broyles, Pettigrew... and its chock full of misses plus a guy who was out for the week anyway :cheers:

 

 

The Patriots vs Your New Your Jets might be even better.

 

Start Tom Brady and Wes Welker? who is this nugget of wisdom supposed to help? then you whiff on Hernandez and Sanchez and go on to list Gronkowski as a SIT this week :lol: Is this a weekly start/sit piece or the injury report?

 

 

How do your 7 listeners let you get away with this garbage? :dunno:

Avery is not out, so you probably probably need to redo TY Hilton.
