Fantasy Football Start \ Sit (Win $300)

Last week was pretty rough with a 6-9 in the Underachievers and 4-5 in the Overachievers.   Before we get to the rankings, remember you can win $300 in a one week fantasy football league this weekend.  It is free to sign up.  Now, let’s get to the rankings;

Overachievers

• Andy Dalton (22)-He has been solid and plays an awful Jaguar secondary
• Mark Sanchez (12)-He gets to the Pats and with Holmes calling him out, I think he steps up on the road.
• Eli Manning (10)-He is playing like a top QB1, Seattle is awful on the road, and this will get ugly.
• Brandon Jacobs-(28)-I expect at least 1 TD.
• Isaac Redman (24)-He will get all the snaps for Pitt and we should see a Ryan Matthews like game.
• Jacoby Jones (27)-He should step in nicely for Andre Johnson with a solid game.
• Aaron Hernandez (23)-He has practiced fully, get him back in your lineup.
• Jared Cook (14)-He may be the #1 target with Britt out.

Underachievers

• Matt Stafford (2)-The big deficits have helped his stats, I say the Bears pass defense slows down the Lions train.
• Michael Turner (10)-The way to beat GB is through the air.
• Frank Gore (12)-He had a nice 2^nd half against the awful Eagle run defense, back to the grind.
• Darren Sproles (15)-Yes he is involved but his scoring still has to be lucky.
• Joseph Addai (18)-He has not shown to be a starting fantasy back.
• Shonn Greene (23)-He has been awful, and the Pats are awful against the pass not withstanding what Rexy said he will do with the run this week.
• Ben Tate (35)-Foster is now getting all the touches.
• Knowshown Moreno (40)-He should be cut by fantasy owners; Lance Ball is getting more touches.
• Wes Welker (2)-Yes you have to start him but Revis brings him back to earth and mortality.
• Vincent Jackson (4)-He has barely practiced all week, a very shaky start.
• Vernon Davis (4)- He has barely made a dent this year, don’t expect that to change against the tough Bucs.

Make sure you check your byes as the 1^st group of 6 teams are off this week.  That is it for this week; we will be back early next week for the weekly free agent pickups and feel free to follow me on Twitter-dvond for any fantasy questions.  And visit our fantasy football forum for updates.
