Week 11 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Chris Johnson and More Questionable Starts

It's a new week, and while many fantasy football owners feel they have a win locked up, every single fantasy player is facing the same problem. 

Who should I sit, and who should I start?

However, this is where we come in. Leave a comment with any questions you might have and we'll help you out. 

Each week there are different players that raise eyebrows in fantasy football. Here are three guys that fit that mold for Week 11, and whether you should start or sit them. 

Chris Johnson 

My goodness, he can actually run the ball!

Johnson has been a mega-bust in fantasy football, but in Week 10, he carried the ball 27 times for 130 yards and a touchdown. 

Several people gave up on Johnson weeks ago, and they were probably kicking themselves when he finally showed up to play last week. However, was it just a fluke, or the start of a great trend? 

I'm not buying into the great performance, and here's why. It was against the Carolina Panthers, who happen to rank 28th against the run and are the worst team in the NFL in regards to the most points allowed by running backs. 

This Sunday, Johnson and the Tennessee Titans hit the road again to take on the Atlanta Falcons, who are third in the league against the run.

Atlanta is only allowing opposing running backs an average of 3.9 yards per carry. The Falcons know Johnson is the key to the Titans' success, and they will shut him down.  

Johnson may be the best running back they will have faced in over a month, but he isn't the same guy from a year ago. 

Verdict: Sit

Brandon Marshall

It's sad that Marshall has become a questionable start since joining the Dolphins, but the reality of it is, without a good quarterback, he will suffer. 

If the Dolphins had someone who could get Marshall the ball, then he would still be a top fantasy guy, but his numbers just aren't there anymore. 

Miami will host the Bills on Sunday, and the Dolphins are looking for their first back-to-back home wins since 2009. Expect Marshall to get a ton of opportunities, because the Bills pass defense ranks 27th in the league. 

Marshall and Matt Moore have built a strong connection since he took over the starting QB job. In the last five games, Marshall has averaged 9.4 targets, 6.2 receptions and 85.5 receiving yards, and he's going to perform well again this Sunday. 

Verdict: Start

Denarius Moore 

The Oakland Raiders defense may be struggling, but their offense is really starting to click with Carson Palmer calling the shots. 

It was a bold move trading for him, but so far it's paying off. Palmer has latched onto Moore since joining the team, throwing his way more than any other receiver on the team.

Moore has 19 targets in his last two starts, and he will continue to see the ball coming his way. He had over 100 yards and two touchdowns last week.

The Raiders take on the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday, who happen to rank 30th in the NFL against the pass. 

He isn't owned in a lot of fantasy leagues, so check your waiver wires to see if he is available and pick him up, because he's in for another great week. 

Verdict: Start 

Steve Johnson 

The Bills have been slumping since their great start, and Johnson has been suffering. Ryan Fitzpatrick hasn't thrown for over 270 yards since Week 3, and because of that, Johnson's numbers continue to decline. 

Injuries aren't helping, either, as they're keeping Johnson limited in practice. He's missed time this week again and is currently listed as questionable. 

Despite missing some practice time, Johnson hasn't missed a game, but he also hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 6. 

The Bills will battle the Dolphins on Sunday, and even though Miami is subpar against the pass this year, Johnson's sloppy play will continue. 

Verdict: Sit
