Week Seven Who to Start and Who to Sit

Before I get to my Week Seven selections, let’s check last week’s picks for accuracy. 

Good Starts from Week Six:

Ray Rice, RB (BAL): Had a great all-around game, finding the end zone twice on 194 total yards of offense.

Ben Roethlisberger, QB (PIT): Big Ben passed for 417 yards with two touchdowns.

Dwayne Bowe, WR (KC): Although he didn’t find the end zone, Bowe went over 100-yards receiving for the first time this season.

Bad Starts from Week Six:

Jeremy Maclin, WR (PHI): Maclin was totally non-existent in the Eagles’ offense, finishing with one reception for six yards.

Sammy Morris, RB (NE): Morris didn’t play, after being hyped-up as the Patriots number one option for Week Six.

Good Sits from Week Six:

Jason Campbell, QB (WAS): Campbell was benched for the second-half in the Redskins loss last week, after playing horrible in the first-half.

Percy Harvin, WR (MIN): Harvin couldn’t find the end zone once again, making it four straight games without a touchdown.

Bad Sits from Week Six:

LaDainian Tomlinson, RB (SD): He didn’t find the end zone, but did rack up 100 total yards.

Here is my Week Seven list of who to start and who to sit: 

New England Patriots at Tampa Bay Buccaneers                               

Start: Laurence Maroney, RB (NE)

Explanation:  I know it’s tough to start a Patriots running back, but it looks as if Maroney will be the primary rusher if Sammy Morris can’t play.  The Buccaneers rush defense is horrible, so look for Maroney to have a good day on the ground if he gets the majority of the carries.

Sit: Carnell Williams, RB (TB)

Explanation:  I’m not saying Williams is exactly a bad play this week, but the Patriots could get a huge lead early, taking away carries from him.

Indianapolis Colts at St. Louis Rams                                         

Start: Pierre Garcon, Austin Collie, WR’s (IND)

Explanation:  The Colts passing game is on a role, and the matchup is great.  Both of these guys should be able to find the end zone.
