Week 6 Start Em Sit Em: Jahvid Best and the 3 Players You Must Sit

Detroit Lions running back Jahvid Best had 163 yards last week against the Chicago Bears, so why does he fall into the "must-sit" category this week? 

What other usual starters should take a seat on your digital bench this week?

Let's start with Best....

Jahvid Best 

His breakout performance didn't come against the Bears '10 defense. It came against a Bears defense that was one of the worst run stopping units in the league.

Also, this week Best faces the 49ers, who boast the fourth-best running stuffing defense in football as they're allowing a mere 76.4 yards per game. 

They have a solid defensive front and are playing a more physical brand of football, with their safeties and corners frequently coming down to play the run. 

Sure, they'll have to account for Calvin Johnson deep, but I just need to see more consistency from Best before I start him against a top run defense. 

Washington Running Backs

The Eagles allow over 140 rushing yards per game. Start the Redskins running backs, right? Well, actually no. 

Who's going to get the bulk of the carries? 

Tim Hightower or Ryan Torain? 

How much will Roy Helu Jr. bud in?

Mike Shanahan has kept it a secret which means you should keep any of the Redskins' runners you own on the bench even in this attractive matchup. 

BenJarvus Green-Ellis

The Patriots running backs carried the ball 34 times last week against the Jets? 

Is this real life?

Green-Ellis received 27 of those 34 carries and bulldozed his way to 136 yards and two touchdowns.

Will this trend continue?

Well, New England may try to establish the run more than they ever have in the past, but this week against the Cowboys' top-ranked run defense don't expect the Law Firm to have as much success on the ground. 

After a promising Week 5, sit him in Week 6.
