Fantasy Football Week 5 Start 'Em Sit 'Em: Ben Roethlisberger and 3 Duds To Sit

It's time to make some very hard decisions. As far as Ben Roethlisberger goes, it really should be that hard. You need to sit him on the bench and feel good about it. 

The bye week means you will have to reach deep as a fantasy owner to fill the spots taken by your stars on vacation. As those lazy good-for-nothing stars enjoy a week off, you need to infuse the lineup with like talent. 

Well, don't think about infusing with these duds. They will only cause you heartache and a guaranteed loss in Week 5. Then you have to hear all about it from that team that calls themselves Plax on Plax Off. So don't do it. 

Ben Roethlisberger

Did you see the massacre that occurred on Sunday night? The Ravens destroyed the Jets' offensive line, and annihilated Mark Sanchez ego in the process. Someone should really have the Ravens reported for such crimes. 

Well, the Steelers' offensive line can be just as abysmal. Roethlisberger is hobbled with a foot sprain, and will not be as swift of foot. 

With a stout Titans defense coming into Heinz, it's time to bench Big Ben until the Steelers work out the kinks. 

Jay Cutler

The ever-moping Bears quarterback had a rough go last week in Carolina. It's not time for you to expect a bounce back game. 

The Lions have a great pass rush, essentially the Kryptonite to the Bears offense. A young line will have Cutler looking just as frustrated as ever. 

Mario Manningham

Fantasy owners that took a stab at what seemed like the sleeper of the year will have to remain patient. 

Not so Super Mario has been less that stellar in the early season. Now he will have to contend for touches with Victor Cruz, a player who looks primed to get the majority of the receptions after Hakeem Nicks.
