Fantasy Football Week 5 Start 'Em Sit 'Em: Start Ageless Willis McGahee

Ryan RudnanskyOct 6, 2011

Sometimes players in the NFL defy the laws of physics and age, consistently producing despite a decline in athleticism.

That appears to be the case for 29-year-old running back Willis McGahee, who was cut by the Baltimore Ravens this offseason, but has shown more life in Denver with the Broncos.

Then again, it's not surprising given McGahee was the 2004 Comeback Player of the Year and has a Pro Bowl selection to his name.

Here is your Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for Week 5.


Start 'Em:
Willis McGahee, RB, Denver Broncos

Some players just don't know when to quit.

After averaging just 3.8 yards per carry last season, veteran McGahee was cut by the Ravens this offseason.

But McGahee has found new life in Denver. Since Week 1, McGahee has 256 yards rushing and two total touchdowns. Against the vaunted Green Bay Packers in Week 4, McGahee exploded for 103 yards on 15 carries.

Head coach John Fox has said McGahee has earned the right to receive the majority of the carries in the backfield moving forward, and McGahee is going up a San Diego Chargers rush defense that hasn't been as good as last season.

McGahee is determined to still be a factor in the NFL.


Sit 'Em:
Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Roethlisberger was wearing a boot on his sprained left foot on Tuesday, he sustained five sacks behind a battered offensive line against the Houston Texans and he faces a strong Tennessee Titans defense in Week 5. Need I say more?

OK, I'll say more. Roethlisberger has thrown three touchdowns to five interceptions this season and he's already lost four fumbles.
