Welcome to the best time of the year Sports Fans. Here is where I will tell you who I think you should start or who I think you should sit for your fantasy team.
This year, I will give you your obvious must starts (guys you start every week no matter who they play), a few players from each position who you should start, a sleeper start em’, and a must sit em’.
Also, I will be giving projections for those players. Enough talk, let’s get down to business!
QB Obvious Must Starts
Drew Brees – NO vs. NYJ – Projection: 275 Yards, 2 TD, 1 INT
Peyton Manning – IND vs. SEA – Projection: 300 Yards, 2 TD, 1 INT
Tom Brady – NE vs. BAL – Projection: 275 Yards, 2 TD, 1 INT
Philip Rivers – SD vs. PIT – Projection: 300 Yards 2 TD, 1 INT
Aaron Rodgers – GB vs. MIN – Projection: 255 Yards, 2 TD, 1 INT
QB Start Em’
Matt Schaub – Houston Texans vs. OAK
Schaub has looked very good in these past two weeks, throwing for 657 yards and seven touchdowns.
This week he goes up against the 14th-ranked pass defense of the Oakland Raiders. Start Em’. Projection: 300 Yards, 2 TD, 1 INT
Jay Cutler – Chicago Bears vs. DET
After a horrid first week, Cutler has redeemed himself these past two weeks, throwing for 483 yards and five touchdowns.
This week he gets the 30th-ranked pass defense of the Detroit Lions. Start Em’. Projection: 275 Yards, 2 TD, 0 INT
Trent Edwards – Buffalo Bills vs. MIA
Edwards had been surprisingly good for the first two weeks, throwing for 442 yards and four touchdowns to just one interception, but was definitely anything but good last week against New Orleans, only throwing for 156 Yards and NO Touchdowns.
This week however, he gets the 26th-ranked pass defense of the Miami Dolphins. Sleeper Start Em’. Projection: 245 Yards, 2 TD. 1 INT
QB Sit Em’
Matt Cassel – Kansas City Chiefs vs. NYG
Cassel was fairly accurate last week, going 14 of 18 with two touchdowns, but still only threw for 90 yards.
This week, he gets the No. 1-ranked pass defense of the New York Giants. Must Sit Em’. Projection: 150 Yards, 1 TD, 2 INT
Tony Romo – Dallas Cowboys vs. DEN
Romo was awful in week two against The Giants, throwing just one touchdown and three interceptions. He was better last week vs. Carolina, but didn’t throw a touchdown.
This week, he goes against the No. 2-ranked pass defense of the Denver Broncos. Sit Em’. Projection: 215 Yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
Joe Flacco – Baltimore Ravens vs. NE
So far this season, Flacco has been a surprising fantasy force, throwing for over 800 yards and six touchdowns in the first three games.
However, this week he faces Bill Belichick and the sixth-ranked pass defense of the New England Patriots. Sit Em’. Projection: 250 Yards, 2 TD, 2 INT
RB Obvious Must Starts
