Start \ Sit

Here is the next installment of start \ sit.  We will not be listing top 12 RB’s or Wr’s to overachieve as they are already listed as 1^st options.  We will not be writing 20 paragraphs about my personal life, personal fantasy football stories, and love life as I expect no one gives a crap and only want qualified information.  Last week we had a nice bounce back with an 11-2 in the Underachievers and 8-3 in the Overachievers.   Let’s get to the rankings;

Overachievers

• Kevin Kolb (21)- Coming off the bye week and playing at home should get their passing game back on track.
• Curtis Painter (20)-The Saints pass defense made Freeman look good last week, expect a ton of throws from the Colts with Addai out as well.
• Matt Cassel-(15)-Do not look now but the Chiefs pass offense has it turned around and play an awful Raider pass defense.
• Tim Tebow (9)-I know he lost a #1 WR but I have a hunch he will go off in front of all of Gator nation.
• Donald Brown (38)-I expect a lot of passing and while he had 1 rushing TD last week, I expect a ton of dump offs.
• Maurice Morris (36)-He has had a 100 yard game in each of the past 2 season filling in and gets the shaky Atlanta defense.
• Jackie Battle (20)-He had a week off to rest and looks to be the feature back.
• Danario Alexander (47)-He had a nice game which could have been huge minus a drop for a TD in the 1^st quarter.
• Torrey Smith (42)-I can see at least one long TD against the shaky Jacksonville defense.
• Steve Breaston (38)- He broke out with 2 Td’s last time in the ever-improving KC pass offense.
• Greg Little (28)-The Browns are leading the NFL in pass attempts and he is not McCoy’s #1 target.
• Mike Williams (25)-He is having a sophomore slump but with 13 targets last week, he is on the verge of breaking out.
• Lance Kendricks (20)-He does lead the NFL in drops but Bradford continues to get him the ball in easy spots.

Underachievers

• Philip Rivers (7)-The Jets pass defense has been solid and with a gimpy Vincent Jackson, looks like a lot of Tolbert and Matthews.
• Matt Schaub (8)-Another year where he starts off great and falls apart
• Matt Ryan (12)-He is average at best on the road and the Lions are stout against QB’s at home.
• Adrian Peterson (4)-I know he cannot be benched but with Ponder starting, there will be no room against a tough Green Bay run defense.
• Arian Foster (5)-He still does not look right and with passing game struggling, Titans will make Schaub beat them.
• Steven Jackson (12) – Dallas has a vg run defense and with the Rams falling behind, do not expect 20 carries.
• Ryan Torain (15) – Do you really want to take a chance on a Redskins running back right now?
• Shonn Greene (18)- He looks t be running in quick sand, sooner or later Ryan will give a quicker McKnight a chance.
• James Starks (22)-He is still in a 50/50 job share until Grant gets hurt.
• Montario Hardesty (28)-Even if Hillis sits out, the Seahawks are only giving up 3.1 YPR.
• Jahvid Best (30)- He is out with another concussion.
• Steve Smith (4)-I think the Panthers opponents have finally figured out that he is their only legit WR.
• Roddy White (7)-He looks slower this year and expect the Falcons to try and grind it out with Turner.
• Vincent Jackson (11) – He is injured and coming to Revis island.
• Santonio Holmes (15)- Yes he has a td in each of the past 2 weeks but 3 catches in each game and not on same page as Sanchez.
• Julio Jones (21) – Even if he plays, he is not close to 100%.
