Helping you decide who to play and who not to

Look at bring these guys off your bench or picking them up off the waiver wire for a big boost to your lineup this week.

QB

Chad Pennington, NY Jets- Looked pretty good last week, quieting down the Kellen Clemens backers at least for a week and now he’ll get to feast on a beat up Buffalo defense.

Brian Griese, Chicago- Off the bench, and right into your fantasy lineup. Not promising McNabb-type numbers, but to say the Lions looked shaky last week would be an understatement.

Daunte Culpepper, Oakland- You know Daunte wants to get his roll on in Miami really, really bad. His first start could be a nice one.

RB

Samkon Gado, Houston- Unless you trust Ron Dayne to stay healthy…I don’t. Dayne is dinged, and Ahman Green was injured last week and may see limited time. Atlanta’s run defense was run down last week by the Panthers.

DeShaun Foster, Carolina- Has really played well this year, and although the Bucs dominated the Rams, Steven Jackson did tally 100 yards.

WR

Shaun McDonald and Mike Furrey, Detroit- With the Bears minus ¾ of their original starting secondary and with Calvin Johnson recovering from a bruised back, get these guys in your lineup ASAP.

Santonio Holmes and Nate Washington, Pittsburgh- Doesn’t look like Hines Ward will make it, so look for these two guys to shoulder the load.

Dwayne Bowe, Kansas City- If you haven’t picked up on him, take notice. He gets a weak Chargers secondary, and with San Diego presumably having a lead, KC will be playing catch-up meaning more opportunities for their top WR.

Patrick Crayton, Dallas- If you watched last week, he had the dropsies, but the key to fantasy success is opportunity. He is still the starter, and Romo will still come back to him. And come on, they are playing the Rams.

Jerricho Cotchery, NY Jets- Many of you probably play him, but if you don’t, you might want to look at getting him in there this week.

Reggie Brown, Philadelphia- Don’t give up, he’ll do something for you this week.

Sit these guys, or suffer the consequences.

QB

Nobody actually jumps out, a lot because of the bye weeks diminishing the talent pool, but be wary of starting Jake Delhomme or Marc Bulger who may be scratched by weekend time, but both are iffy starts with injuries.

RB

Jamal Lewis, Cleveland- He’ll be fired up for his old team, and then he’ll get you about 10 carries for 23 yards and you’ll wonder why you started him.

Travis Henry, Denver- Comes off a bad week, and if the Colts jump on top of the Broncos, which they have in this series recent history in the dome, that would eliminate Henry from any sort of good week.

Larry Johnson, Kansas City- Now, I understand the bye week may come into play and you’ll have no choice, but I told you to trade him two weeks ago, and I also told you not to draft him at all!

WR

Lee Evans, Buffalo- QB Trent Edwards, yeah….don’t think so.

Deion Branch, Seattle- Look at the numbers of the top receivers Nate Clements has gone up against so far. Fitzgerald, Holt, and Ward have done nothing. He’s been worth every penny.

AND DON’T FORGET…
Anyone on Jacksonville, New Orleans, Tennessee, or Washington- If you aren’t paying attention, it’s these teams bye weeks. Don’t screw the pooch on your lineups this early in the season.
