Week 6 Fantasy Football Players to Start and Sit

 

By Adam McGill

Fantasy weeks can be won or lost through the course of the season just by starting the right, or wrong guy. Below is a list of some guys who will directl 

 

Guys to Start:

QB Tony Romo, DAL (@ NE) – Romo plays a banged up Pats’ defense and look for him to find Dez Bryant often.

QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (@ NYG) – “Fitz-magic” put up yet another solid outing last week and the gunslinger will test the injured Giants’ secondary all day.

RB Steven Jackson, STL (@ GB) – “S-Jax” looks to be completely healthy from his quad injury, and will be a strong starter moving forward.

RB Earnest Graham, TB (vs. NO) – If LaGarette Blount is unable to play this weekend due to his injured hamstring, then Graham is a very experienced backup to grab.

WR AJ Green, CIN (vs. IND) – The rookie has already caught 3 touchdowns and plays a lackluster Colts’ secondary.

WR Pierre Garcon, IND (@ CIN) – The “waiter” appears to be Curtis Painter’s favorite target with an amazing 7 receptions for 271 yards and 4 touchdowns in the last week. 

TE Ed Dickson, BAL (vs. HOU) – Flacco has quickly gained confidence in the tight end as he has been targeted 32 times in the first four games.

IDP: Jason Pierre-Paul, NYG (vs. BUF) – JPP is leading the tenacious Giants’ pass rush and has already collected 7 sacks in the first five games.

Guys to Sit:

QB Sam Bradford, STL (@ GB) – The former first round pick has only thrown 3 touchdowns through the first four weeks and plays a very stingy Packers’ defense.

QB Matt Schaub, HOU (@ BAL) – Schaub travels to play a tough Baltimore team and has to do it without his favorite target “Andre 3000”.

RB LaGarette Blount, TB (vs. NO) – Blount left last weekend’s game with a knee injury and the franchise back is still doubtful for the game versus the Saints.

RB Cedric Benson, CIN (vs. IND) – Benson has only scored one touchdown in 2011 and still has to serve a 4-game suspension from the NFL.

WR Santana Moss, WSH (vs. PHI) – Moss will be matched up against shutdown corner Nnamdi Asomugha so don’t expect much from the speedster this week.

WR Devin Hester, CHI (vs. MIN) – Hester has only caught 7 touchdowns in his last 38 games and the former defensive back is at the bottom of the barrel at wide receiver.

TE Chris Cooley, WSH (@ PHI) – The two-time Pro Bowler only has 66 receiving yards as Fred Davis has become the main fantasy tight end in the nation’s capital.

IDP: TJ Ward, CLE (@ OAK) – Ward posted 123 tackles in his rookie year, but the former Oregon star has only gathered a mere 18 tackles in the first five games.
