Fantasy Depth Chart's Week Eight Sits & Starts

(Check out FantasyDC's Articles this week: Waiver Hawk , Waiver Rush & Buy/Sell )

Dearness, lets just get to the recap. After posting my second best week of predictions, I posted my second worst.

Leon Washington is not being included since he didn’t play long enough for any true judgement.

The Bengals, Chiefs, Patriots, Steelers, Buccaneers and Redskins are on the bye this week.

The greatest effected position are the QB (Palmer, Brady, Roethlisberger) and WR (OchoCinco, Moss, Welker, Ward, Holmes, Wallace, Bowe, Santana Moss, Antonio Bryant).

Fewer sit and start suggestions this week as my other two real jobs have been time consuming this week.

On to last week's review...

HITs : Addai & Brown (Start – 13th & 32nd—Brown was a good start but got hurt), Mendenall (Sit – 35th), Bradshaw (Sit  - +50th—Losing receptions to Jacobs is really hurting him), Glen Coffee (Sit – +50th—Gore wasn’t great but Coffee is officially useless again), Mike Bell (Sit – 24th—Avg eight points last Sunday just doesn’t cut it)

All my sit QBs (How can I be so right and wrong with QBs?), Mike Wallce (Start – 9th—Too easy), Antonio Bryant (Sit – 18th—I predicted he could have a good enough game if he beat them deep ), Shockey (Start – 4th—Good bye week fill-in for lucky teams), Heath Miller (Sit -11th—Not good enough to warrant the huge start everyone was suggesting)

MISSes : Jonathan Stewart (Start—29th is not going to cut it when healthy), Brandon Jacobs (Sit – 10th—The big man gets a bump with his growing PPR resume), Reggie Bush (Sit – 20th—One freak diving TD away from a correct prediction)

All my start QBs (pathetic calls on my part though I was right about Houston be capable of giving up QB pts), Santana Moss (Sit – 24th—Just barely good enough to get me a miss), Steve Smith (Start – 30th—Eli was pathetic)

Week 1 : 11-5 (68.75%), Week 2 : 15-8 (65.2%), Week 3 : 12-9 (57.1%), Week 4 : 11-6 (64.7%), Week 5 : 16-10 (61.5 %), Week 6 : 13-6 (68.4%), Week 7 : 13-9 (59.1%)

RBs
Start :
Matt Forte vs Cleveland Browns—Yes. I’m shocked that I’m having to include a first round pick as a start. But Forte, more than any other player this year, has earned his spot on your fantasy bench.

This week? He’ll show power, agility and speed, but don’t get too excited. Its only going to be against the Browns. Look to trade Forte after this weekend.

LaDainian Tomlinson & Darren Sproles vs Oakland Raider—The rushing/redzone/goal-line woes of the the Chargers are well documented but like Forte, for one week they should be forgotten. It’s lofty but two TDs for LT2 is not out of the question.

Kevin Smith vs St. Louis Rams—The second year RB has a great match-up this weekend. Unless you’re in a deeper league, Smith has likely been a match-up start for most teams. This weekend is a must start for the Lions every down RB.

Sit :
Shonn Greene vs Miami Dolphins—After a huge week, Greene is rightfully one is the biggest waiver wire pickups of the year. However, this week against a very strong Miami run defense, Greene should remain on the sidelines of your fantasy teams. Hard to keep your new toy on the shelf but it could save you some disappointment this week.

DeAngello Williams at Arizona Cardinals—The Cardinals still lead the league in rushing defense even after having a game against the New York Giants. Their defense is playing well above their talent level (sorry Cards fans) but it won’t matter this weekend.

I have already suggested that someone start DWill over Shonn Greene, so keep in mind that Williams shouldn’t go straight to your bench. But he should be near the bottom of your options this weekend.

Joseph Addai vs San Francisco 49ers—Addai is quietly putting up RB1 type numbers (not a real achievement this year), however the one thing the 49ers will not allow is a good game from a RB. Peyton Manning is likely to slice through the 49ers secondary but that should only encourage Addai owners in deep PPR leagues.

QBs
Start :
Marc Bulger
