Fantasy Football Week 1 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Fantasy Studs You Must Sit in Week 1

It is late in the week, so you must have already set your rosters, many of which will include the following fantasy studs.

I would encourage you to abort your previous decisions now before it's too late.

This is the time that each and every one of you would pour over the injury report, wading through the minutiae of probables and questionables. 

I have sorted out all that mess in one, easy to understand list. These are those borderline players that are either too injured to matter or are entering a horrible matchup, negating their production. 

1. Miles Austin

The Dallas Cowboys have plenty of targets on the field. Austin is currently listed as questionable. Even if he does play, he will be a step slow against a team with the secondary prowess of the New York Jets.

Do yourself a favor and sit a player whose hamstring could flare up at any moment.

Don't worry. You are a smart manager that has plenty of depth at receiver, right? 

2. Visanthe Shiancoe

The Vikings have been without their starting tight end for weeks. I fear that Shiancoe may not be at game speed as he comes back from a lingering hamstring issue.

Couple that with a strong Chargers defense, and you only have one option.

Sit him.

You could always play him and cross your fingers, but who wants to do that for three hours on Sunday?

3. Lance Moore

The Saints receiver joins Peyton Manning as a Week 1 star that should not be in your lineup, no matter what. 

ESPN reports Moore will be out for Week 1. New Orleans has plenty of offensive weapons and would not dare risk further injury to Moore. 

4. Kevin Boss

The tight end continues to have issues with his sprained MCL. He is questionable now, but I am uneasy about playing him, even if he does start Monday.
