Fantasy Football Week 2 Start Em, Sit Em Roster Advice

September 14, 2010 By Jerod Morris

Before we delve into the nitty gritty of Week 2, let’s take a quick look back at my ugly Week 1 performance and see what my hits and misses were:

Start ‘em hits: Miami Dolphins D
Start ‘em misses: Kevin Kolb, CJ Spiller, Jacoby Jones, Zach Miller
Sit ‘em hits: Brett Favre, John Carlson, LaDainian Tomlinson
Sit ‘em misses: Wes Welker, New England D

Now, if you look a little deeper it gets a bit better – start Forte, Gaffney, McFadden; sit Jacobs, J Stewart, Mike Wallace; more good calls than bad during the live chats – but I take a lot of pride in my top line suggestions being right, so I am not at all pleased with what happened in Week 1.

I probably feel a little bit like Mike Singletary feels right about now.

So I’ll dig a little deeper this week, not take so many uncharacteristic chances on unproven guys (Kevin Kolb and Jacoby Jones? What was I thinking!?), and we’ll all rebound together to lay an ass kicking on our Week 2 opponents.

Fantasy Football Week 1 Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Lineup Advice

Update 9/10/10: Get the latest injury update on Beanie Wells as well as injury updates on Knowshon Moreno, Michael Bush, and more.

Does it seem to you like the first full Sunday of regular season NFL action is still a ways off?

I don’t know why, but it does for me. Then I look at the calendar and – surprise, surprise! – we’re just a week away from a full slate of games on Sunday and Monday, and a mere five days away from the official kickoff of the 2010 season in the Superdome.

And that means it is time to start thinking about your Week 1 lineups.

As I did every week last year, I will once again be delving into the matchups to highlight guys you might normally start who you should think about sitting and, on the flip side, guys you might normally sit who you should think about starting.

Video: Fantasy Football 3-2-1 for Week 1

September 4, 2010 By Jerod Morris Leave a Comment

One of the new features that I am stoked to bring you this year is video content. We’ve got a pretty badass setup in the office now, so I figured I better take advantage and use it as another excuse to study and talk about fantasy football during work hours.

Mission accomplished.

Our fantasy video content will evolve as the season goes along, but one weekly feature that I know we’ll publish consistently is the Fantasy Football 3-2-1 series. (And don’t you dare make fun of me for calling it “Fantasy Football 1-2-3″ in the introduction. I’m a blogger not a news anchor, and I was going off the top of my head.)

The content of the 3-2-1 series will obviously be dictated by that week’s relevant fantasy news, and will include key guys to watch for, waiver wire suggestions, general lineup tips, trade advice, start/sit recommendations, etc. It won’t be as rigid as I describe in the video.

Just know that I’ll bring the goods every week in my quest to help you all win your matchups.

Fantasy Football Week 15 Start Em, Sit Em Lineup Advice and Projections

The Week 17 start em, sit em lineup advice post is up.

——————–

Update 12/19: I am all updated on the questions in the comments as 7:30 this morning. I will do my best to answer questions between now and kickoff, but please have patience if it takes a little while to answer. I’ll be out Christmas shopping and doing all other kinds of running around today. Halelujah for the iPhone.

The playoffs are here (unless, of course, your playoffs started last week), which means that each of us will be agonizing over and obsessing about every lineup decision we are faced with this week.

Before I get into this week’s start ‘em, sit ‘em picks and projections, I want to give you two very important pieces of advice: don’t outthink yourself and remember that stars are stars for a reason.

I tell you this because while taking a glance through the QBs, it dawned on me that Jason Campbell might very well be a better start in Week 15 than Tom Brady.

Sounds crazy right?

Well, Campbell has throw seven TDs over the past three weeks and faces a Giants defense that would probably give up 200 yards passing and a couple of TDs to Navy. Tom Brady, on the other hand, has thrown only three TD passes over the last three weeks and faces Buffalo’s very stiff pass defense.

When you look at the stats that way, it almost looks like a slam dunk that you should start Campbell right?

Well I wouldn’t. And you know what? I wouldn’t sit Randy Moss either.

The Week 17 start em, sit em lineup advice post is up.

——————–

The long and winding road of the fantasy football season is now entering its stretch run, with many leagues beginning their playoffs this week or entering their final week of jockeying before the playoffs kick off in Week 16.

And I’m flying high right now after a 5-1 weekend improved my positioning in each of the leagues for which the playoffs is still a possibility for me. Hopefully you all had just as fruitful a Week 13 and are now coming to this post seeking advice to continue your runs to the championship.

As the stakes continue to rise, lets dig into the numbers and matchups to unearth the guys you should start and the guys you sit for Week 14.

Fantasy Football Week 10 Start Em, Sit Em Lineup Advice and Projections

Week 9 was very interesting for me from a real and fantasy picks perspective.

I went to sleep last night thinking I’d lost by 0.5 points in one league because of Miles Austin’s one catch. But, as so often happens in leagues with IDPs, the stats had changed by Monday morning and I led by 3.5. I’m hoping this holds up once the totals become final tomorrow.

From a picks perspective, last week was unique in that I really went out on a limb picking David Garrard over Matt Schaub. Then the defense opposing Schaub (Indy) lost two key starters and I issued a change to my recommendation regarding the Texans’ QB.

And then, naturally, Schaub went out and had a pedestrian day (311 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs) that did not eclipse what Garrard was able to do against Kansas City (264 yards, 1 TD, 0 INTs, 29 yards rushing).

In hindsight, I should have stuck with my guns; but, the truth is that I did stick with my principles in issuing my Schaub retraction. It was the right decision. Remember, we’re trying to predict a game in which Chris Chambers can be one of the top scorers at WR during the same week he got cut by San Diego and ended up in Kansas City.

Without much rhyme or reason, all you’ve got is your principles. My principles have me above .500 and in playoff contention in all six of my leagues.

And this is what I always tell people who ask me for advice on tough questions: what are your princples? Go with them.

And if you don’t have them, get them. I’ll be happy to help if I can.
