Fantasy Football Week 6: Start Em & Sit Em

With many of the bigger fantasy producers from last year struggling this season (Peyton Manning, Maurice Jones-Drew, Ryan Grant, Braylon Edwards, Chad Johnson, etc.), it's become more and more challenging to set those fantasy line-ups. Who to start and who to sit? A simple question that no longer has a simple answer. So, what do you do when you can no longer just turn to your big names, well, why not to turn to one of the big names in the fantasy football industry, Bruno Boys Fantasy Football! Take a look at our Week 6 Start Em and Sit Em, and you'll be well on your way to that week 6 victory!

QUARTERBACKS - START 'EM

Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers) @ Seattle

So much for that sore shoulder. After having his durability questioned, which will happen when you replace the iron man, Brett Favre, Rodgers ended up playing in week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons and lit up the fantasy scoreboard, going for 313 passing yards, 3 TDs, and 1 INT. With the performance, Rodgers has proven he can not only play through pain, but that he can excel with it. He should excel again this week as the Packers get set to face a Seattle Seahawks defense that was just shredded by Eli Manning and has allowed 7 passing TDs on the year, while intercepting opposing QBs just once.

Eli Manning (New York Giants) @ Cleveland

Speaking of that shredding of the Seattle Seahawks by Eli Manning, make sure the quarterback is in your fantasy line-ups again for week 6. Eli's no longer living in the shadow of older brother Peyton. With a Super Bowl win under his belt, he's much more confident as a passer and more comfortable in the pocket. Without Plaxico Burress, Manning spread the ball around in week 5 to the tune of 267 yards and 2 TDs. With Burress back on the field in week 6, he should have just as solid an outing against a Browns' secondary that really hasn't been tested since week 1, when they gave up 320 yards and a TD to Tony Romo.

David Garrard (Jacksonville Jaguars) @ Denver

Much to my chagrin, I have to give credit to Bruno Boys Cavigs, who predicted that the momentum of that week 3 comeback against the Indianapolis Colts would propel Garrard to play at the level many expected him to be at this season. Since that week 3 win, Garrard has had two solid back-to-back games, going for 23 and 13 fantasy points. He should at least be somewhere between those two numbers in week 6 as he'll be throwing against the 30th ranked pass defense in the league in the Denver Broncos.

QUARTERBACKS - SIT 'EM

Peyton Manning (Indianapolis Colts) vs. Baltimore

It used to be that the only question surrounding Peyton Manning when it came to the weekly quarterback rankings was whether the Colts' QB would be number one. Now, Manning is on the brink of slipping out of the top ten and is no longer a must play. While Manning did put up 15 points against the Houston Texans in week 5, a good deal of those came only after Sage Rosenfels' fumblitis in the last 4 minutes of the game. We're not too thrilled about Manning's week 6 match-up with a Ravens defense that is giving up just 128.5 passing yards per game and has intercepted QBs 7 times, while only giving up 3 passing TDs, and you shouldn't be either.

Jon Kitna (Detroit Lions) @ Minnesota

While it was back spasms that led to Kitna taking a place on the bench in the Lions' embarrassing loss to the Chicago Bears, don't be surprised if poor play puts the QB there permanently. Minnesota just held Drew Brees, one of the best QBs in the league, to a scant 11 fantasy points. Kitna may longer even be mediocre, so what makes you think he'll do any better?

Marc Bulger (St. Louis Rams) @ Washington

With Scott Linehan shown the door and Jim Haslett taking over, Bulger has been reinstated as the Rams' starting QB, and rightfully so, as the Rams' offensive woes are not solely the QBs fault. But, just because he got his NFL job back, doesn't mean Bulger should earn himself any fantasy jobs back. The fact of the matter is that through 4 games, the Rams have just 43 points. It's going to take a lot more than a new head coach to right this ship.
