Start 'em, Sit 'em (Week 8)

Pierre Garcon (With a funny line under the c)

Every week I'll bring you a quarterback, running back and wide receiver that I think will put up good numbers and help your fantasy team win. I will also give you a quarterback, running back and wide receiver that I think you should stay away from and keep on the bench. As always if you have specific questions send me an email and I'll get back to you (ifivesports@gmail.com).

Start 'em

QB Matt Cassel: Alot of folks might have options they may feel more comfortable with but Cassel has been really good of late with 5 touchdowns and no interceptions in his last two games. Buffalo has showed you all season that they can't defend the pass, why should this week be any different?

RB Felix Jones: Big game is a comin' this week for speedy Felix Jones. With 2nd string turned starter Jon Kitna the Cowboys will need to run, run and run some more, oh and by the way Jacksonville ranks 24th against the run.

WR Pierre Garcon: Austin Collie is out, Dallas Clark is out, Joseph Addai is banged up. That leaves Reggie Wayne and you guessed it Pierre Garcon against a Houston pass defense that ranks 31st in that department.


Sit 'em

QB Matthew Stafford: The Redskins defense destroyed Jay Cutler last week and I expect much of the same this week against the Lions.

RB Brandon Jackson: Don't mess with the Jets defense especially when you aren't a skilled runner. Stay away from BJack unless you have no other choice.

WR Michael Crabtree: You simply can't start him now, especially with Troy Smith under center. It doesn't help either that the rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain. And yes I know London isn't in Spain.

Round 4 Update and Players to Target

David Gettis

     Another week is in the books and the Maple Bars have moved to 4-3 on the season. Roddy White continues to be a stud for me as well as two straight double digit games from Marshawn Lynch. This week I have a few issues with players on bye but hopefully my team can step up and make it two wins in a row.
     Week 7 was a crazy one with some superstars performing at a high level while others were no where to be found. This presented a chance for players to step up and perform better than expected. Below you will find players that may not be owned in your league but are worth a pick up and should be good for you the rest of the season.

Players this week I am targeting (that you should also):

David Gettis: I had this guy on my roster earlier in the season as a bye week replacement and he failed to perform. Now with Steve Smith back all the attention that was on Gettis is on Smith, opening him up for some great games like last weekend.

Kenneth Darby: Speculation add here for if Steven Jackson misses this weekends game. Jackson just had two pins put in his ring finger and is questionable this week vs a not great Carolina run defense. If Jackson sits Darby will get the carries and should perform well.

Patrick Crayton: Two solid games in a row in an offense that passes first. Keep him in your lineup as long as Malcom Floyd is out.

Steve Johnson - Believe! This guy is for real and I doubted him the last three weeks and he continued to prove me wrong. Ryan Fitzpatrick is throwing throwing throwing and Johnson is getting a lot of looks. Pick him up if he's still available.

Vincent Jackson (if you have the roster space): He will be back at the end of November and be inserted right back into the starting lineup. This guy is their superstar and the Chargers need him back if they have any hope of turning around this awful season.
