Week 5 Start Em Sit Em: Arian Foster and 4 Players to Start

For anyone who has ever watched The League on FX, you can tell how agonizing it is when deciding on who to start/sit.

You drive yourself crazy, can't think or sleep, and then before you know it, gameday comes and you end up being your own worst enemy.

Well to that end, here are four players to start in Week 5 of fantasy football.

Arian Foster: RB, Texans (vs Oakland)

Even before WR Andre Johnson got injured the Texans still had a solid rushing attack.

And now that he's out, you can expect more from Houston's Brahma Bull's, but mainly Arian Foster.

In addition, the Raiders' defense ranks No. 22 and No. 29 in pass and rush yards allowed, respectively.

Therefore, even with a sensitive hamstring Foster will put up some good numbers verse the Raiders and lead the Texans to another victory.

He's shouldn't be your No. 1 RB, but definitely your No. 2 and/or flex.

Kevin Kolb: QB, Cardinals (at Minnesota)

Cardinals' QB Kevin Kolb is gradually getting more acclimated to his first legit starting role, and with the No. 28 ranked pass defense in Minnesota this week (allow 286 per game), Arizona should have no issues through the air.

Even if the Vikings drop seven or eight into coverage, WR Larry Fitzgerald is going to by the best athlete on the field by far (other than Minny RB Adrian Peterson), and will have a field day over Vikings' DBs.

Also, after playing some respectable pass defenses in Washington, Seattle, and NY Giants the past three games, Kolb will prove to be superior against an inferior secondary.

Mark Ingram: RB, Saints (at Carolina)

Despite being a rookie RB in a pass-heavy offense, New Orleans' Mark Ingram is a nice start at the No. 2 RB or flex spot this week.

For one, the Saints travel to NFC South rival Carolina who has the No. 6 ranked pass defense, and does play much better at home, while QB Drew Brees did struggle last week in Jacksonville (one TD, two picks).

The key to slowing down the Saints is slowing down Brees, but little do most teams know, New Orleans can effectively run the ball whenever they so choose.

And that will be crucial this week, because not only is Carolina's rush defense weak, but with such a high-flying offense thanks to rookie QB Cam Newton, Saints' head coach Sean Payton knows he must control the game tempo.

Therefore, limiting Newton's possessions by running the football and then striking with the pass later on.

Julio Jones: WR, Falcons (vs Green Bay)

If there is a weakness on the defending Super Bowl champions, it's their pass defense.

Now yes, CB Charles Woodson is arguably the best defensive player in the game, but Green Bay still allows over 330 pass yards per game which ranks them No. 31 in the NFL.

Also, the Falcons are feeling very confident after finally getting a road win in Week 4, as well as having the No. 11 ranked passing offense.

To enhance the situation even more, rookie WR Julio Jones had a breakout game versus Seattle (11 catches, 127 yards) and lead Atlanta in receiving yards.

If you're in the need of a solid No. 2/3 WR or a flex position, look no further than Mr. Jones (Counting Crows for the '90s people out there).
