We are in playoffs now. Hope you made the cut, and I would say stay with what got you there. If you have decisions that need to be made, maybe this will help you.
Quarterbacks Start’ems.
- Eli Manning – It’s December and the Giants win. Falcons are 17th against the pass and Eli has thrown for 8 TD’s in previous 3 games.
- Cam Newton-Faces bad San Diego Defense.
- Russell Wilson- Has averaged two TD’s and only thrown 1 INT over the last 5 games. He plays a soft Buffalo pass defense
- Matthew Stafford –Arizona already has given up. Detroit is a dangerous team thru the air.
Quarterback Sit’em
- Andrew Luck –Has thrown 8 TD’s and 10 INT’s over the last 5 games. He faces a tough defense that is going to prove last week was a bump in the road.
- Jay Cutler-Bear’s system is bad.
- Tony Romo- Was subpar against a good Bengals defense, now faces a great Pittsburg defense that must win this week if they are going to make the playoffs.
- Colin Kaepernick-This is the biggest game in his NFL career and he faces the best team in the NFL. I think he is going to be glad NFL players have short memories this week.
Running Back Start’em
- Steven Jackson-has been a good play the last 5 weeks and this trend continues against the Vikings average run defense.
- Alfred Morris-He has proven when the offense leans on him he produces. This week looks like they will need to with RGIII’s injury.
- Frank Gore-Needs 30 yds to break the franchise rushing record. He faces one of the worst rush defense and should have solid production this week.
- C.J. Spiller– Fred Jackson is out this week and Seattle is 22nd against the rush.
Running Back Sit’ems
- Chris Johnson-Jets can play defense.
- Demarco Murray- Pittsburg gives up the fewest rushing yds.
- Ryan Mathews– He is on my list of biggest busts this year. He has 1 rush TD this year and has only broke 90 yds rushing once.
- Doug Martin-You must start him, but Drew Brees against the worst pass defense in the NFL. Tampa Bay may need to abandon the run to keep up.
Wide Receiver Start’em
- Cecil Shorts-Number 1 target in Jacksonville. He will get plenty of targets this week against Miami.
- Hakeem Nicks- Now that he has returned he has seen 10 targets a game. This is the time of year the Giants play their best football.
- Chris Givens-I know he only had 3 receptions last week, but he was targeted 10 times. He will be thrown to early and often.
- Greg Jennings-Next man up with Jordy Nelson out. Greg Jennings will step in and have a great game.
Wide Receiver Sit’em
- Larry Fitzgerald-Write him off for the rest of the year.
- Stevie Johnson-Seattle is 4th against the pass. Big Jack you have over valued this guy all year.
- Torrey Smith-He disappears against good defenses. This week is Denver and they have a great passing defense.
- Dez Bryant- Has a broken finger and faces a great defense this week.
Tight End Start’em
- Greg Olsen-TD in previous 2 games.
- Martellus Bennett– TD in previous 2 games
- Kyle Rudolf-Rebounds from bad game against Chicago. Had a TD in previous 3 games.
- Heath Miller – 5 for 66 yds
Tight End Sit’em
- Brandon Pettigrew– Not getting a lot of looks
- Antonio Gates– Packed it up.
- Jermichael Finley-Not playing good
- Owen Daniels-Bust alert, been in a funk last 3 weeks
