Fantasy Football Start \ Sit

By Mike Dietrich Posted On October 14, 2011

Last week was average at best with a 6-4 in the Underachievers and 5-4 in the Overachievers. Let’s get to the rankings;

Overachievers

Colt McCoy (21) – While the Raiders are playing well, they are giving up quite a lot of fantasy points to QB’s being ranked 3^rd.
Ben Roethlisberger (9)-With Mendenhall still banged up I expect him to rip through the awful Jags secondary.
Steven Ridley (38)-He did get his 10-12 touches last week and with Ellis missing practice this week he could take on a greater role.
Donald Brown (37)-He finally had a nice game and showed a spark last week while Carter looked to be running in quick sand.
Ernest Graham (27)-He is the RB1 for the week with Blount out, he could get to 100 total yards.
Jason Avant (49)-He is actually been the #1 WR in production the past 2 weeks even with the fumbles.
Greg Little (46)-He has been moved into the starting lineup and gets to play the Raiders.
Denario Alexander (44)-The Rams will be trailing and the Packers are usually pretty awful against the pass.
James Jones (30) – He has moved passed Driver and expect lots of open space against the awful Rams cornerbacks.
Darrius Heyward Bey (28) –He has had 2 great weeks, maybe this is finally his breakout season.
Ben Watson (15) –Lots of love for the Browns off the bye

Underachievers

Matt Schaub (12)- He looks lost without Andre Johnson.
Arian Foster (7)- The Ravens will stack the box due t the below average passing game of the Texans.
Steven Jackson (13)-Green Bay is actually very good against the run, with the Rams falling behind early, I cannot see a full load.
James Starks (17) – He has been way below average all year and even though the Rams are leaky I expect another 50 yard non TD day.
DeAngelo Williams (24)- He finally broke out last week but still got only 9 carries and Cam will get all goal line carries.
Tim Hightower (29) – I would not trust any Redskins running backs.
Santonio Holmes (15) – He had his best game of the season last week with a whopping 4 for 60 yards and a TD, he is just not getting the opportunities.
Reggie Wayne (22) – Pierre Garcon seems to be Painter’s favorite.
Mike Williams (27) – Josh Freeman’s struggles are killing his production this year.
Lance Moore (32) – There are not enough footballs to go around, stay away until the next injury.
Julio Jones (36) –His will not play, get him out of your lineup.
Denarious Moore (39) –His play has fallen off the deep end, there has to be better options even in a bye week.
Owen Daniels (5)-Stay away from all Texans this week.

Make sure you check your byes as the 2nd group of 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.
