Fantasy Football Week 6 Start ‘em Sit ‘em

Fantasy Football Week 6 is upon us and here is my list of who you should start and who you should bench.

Start em

Quarterbacks

Tom Brady vs. Tennessee: he is definitely far from repeating his 2007 season, however now he will face the worst pass defense in the league at home.  Expect big numbers from the Brady and Moss duo.

Jason Campbell vs. Kansas City: Campbell has been a non-factor so far this season but now he faces one of the worst passing defenses in the league.  The Chief defense has allowed passing 10 TDs while only forcing 2 interceptions.  If Campbell doesn’t put up decent numbers this weekend, you can drop him right away.

Aaron Rodgers vs. Detroit: Last year against the Lions, Rodgers threw for over 600 yards, 6 TDs and zero interceptions.  I don’t think you need any more convincing.

Running backs

Willie Parkers vs. Cleveland: he returns from a two-week layoff with toe turf, Parker said Thursday he will wear a special shoe to protect his turf toe injury.  Even if he is not in a 100% he faces the worst rush defense in the league and RB Rashard Mendenhall is sick and may miss Sunday’s game.

Brian Westbrook vs. Oakland: expect him to shares carries with rookie LeSean McCoy but Oakland won’t be able to stop the Philly offensive juggernaut.

Thomas Jones vs. Buffalo: expect Jones to continue his recent history against Buffalo. In the last two meetings, Jones has had at least a touchdown, plus he has scored in the last 2 games.

Wide Receivers

Randy Moss vs. Tennessee: The Titans have struggled in pass defense all season and are ranked last against opposing wide receivers.  Expect Moss to put on more points in this game that in the whole season combined so far.

Donnie Avery vs. Jacksonville: he had his best game of the last week with five receptions for 87 yards, and a TD against a good Minnesota team, now the Rams face the Jacksonville secondary who allowed 4 passing TDs from the Seahawks last week.

Santana Moss vs. Kansas City: Moss led the Redskins in receiving yards in the loss at Carolina with four catches for 44 yards on the day however expect a better day now that they face the Chiefs (ranked 30th against the pass).

Sit em

QB

Matt Cassel vs. Washington: He threw for 253 yards against the Cowboys last week and threw for two touchdowns with no picks in each of his last two games for the Chiefs, but this week he off against a good passing Washington defense, consider Cassel a low 2nd tier QB at best.

Jay Cutler vs. Atlanta: Cutler played at Atlanta last season with the Broncos. He went 19 of 27 for 216 yards and touchdown in a 24-20 win.  However Falcons’ pass defense better this year and Cutler doesn’t have Brandon Marshall or Eddie Royal to throw to.

RB

Brandon Jacobs vs. New Orleans:  Jacobs admitted he was frustrated with his play but also called criticism about his running unfair. RB Ahmad Bradshaw has 20 more rush yards in fewer carries and seems to be the number option for the Giants as they face a beefed up New Orleans D.
