Fantasy Football Week 2 Start Em, Sit Em Roster Advice

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 13 Start Em, Sit Em Lineup Advice and Projections

fantasy-football-week-13

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

——————–

Well, I was not a very good QB prognosticator last week.

I looked at Tony Romo’s struggles and his matchup (OAK) and figured he was a good sit candidate. What I failed to consider was his consistently strong play on Thanksgiving Day. He ended up busting my QB sit ‘em pick.

I looked at Carson Palmer playing the Browns and figured he was about as slam dunk a start candidate as there was, especially after the Browns made Matthew Stafford look like Drew Brees last weekend. Palmer, however, threw only one TD pass and had only 110 yards passing overall. Solid numbers, but probably not top 10 or 12.

Other than the QBs though, I was pretty solid, nailing the Justin Forsett start for the highlight of the week.

We’re now one monster fantasy game (New England-New Orleans on Monday night) away from Week 13, so let’s take a quick peek into the future and answer your burning start ‘em, sit ‘em questions for this week.

Week 9 Fantasy Play ‘Em, Bench ‘Em: QBs and Defenses

Another crazy week of fantasy football is in the books.

Last week’s insanity included the fact that Joseph Addai threw for more touchdowns than Peyton Manning….Ryan Moats had 3 TD’s….Kurt Warner completds 5 passes to Panthers…

And T.O. actually scored a TD.

What does Week 9 have in store? First, the following teams are on a bye: Bills, Browns, Vikings, Jets, Raiders and Rams. Most of these teams being on a bye will not hurt fantasy owners too badly; I have an offensive starting ban on the Browns, Bills and Raiders which still has not been lifted.

For the teams that are taking the field, which QBs and D/ST units offer the best potential value in Week 9? Let’s investigate.
