Week 6: Start/Sit Mailbag
| 7
|
I am renaming this column "Thursdays with Justin." For those of you who don't read this column or ask questions (which appears to be everyone in the world but our dear friend), Justin has asked a question each week. Who knows, if you ask a question to Flea.Fanatics@gmail.com you could become famous, too. For now, Justin is guaranteed his question-a-week in the mailbag. On to Justin's Start/Sit dilemmas:
Justin asks: Start or Sit wk 6?
D Bowe v C Chambers, D Foster v E Graham, A Peterson v J Witten, E Manning v K Warner, J Shockey v G Olsen, E Graham v B leonard.
Hey Justin,
Hope you're having a good week. Thanks for the questions, as always. Rumor has it you are a terrific fantasy player who knows the source for tough answers on today's most pressing fantasy questions.
Ask and you shall receive:
D Bowe vs. C Chambers: D Bowe. I'm not sold on Chambers, especially without consistent QB production. The Browns shut out Moss last week, so they can certainly blanket Chambers, who is the only viable threat through the air. Chiefs should be down or in a shootout, which should benefit Bowe. Cincy secondary is terrible.
D Foster v E Graham: I go with Foster because Graham is going against the #3 run D and Foster appears to be on course to break out every three weeks, with this being his second breakout game. Joking aside, I don't expect much from either.
A Peterson (Vikings) v J Witten: I would almost always go with a RB in this situation and will go with Peterson this week. Witten has been more than solid, but I can't see him continuing this trend with no history of such high numbers. Green Bay ran wild against the Bears last week, who are overrated on D, and Minny is going to pound the ball all game.
E Manning v. K Warner: Warner. I think he will be huge. Consistent veteran quarterback with a ton of offensive talent. Manning could put up a big game, but I don't think he'll need to for the G-men to win.
J Shockey v G Olsen: This is my surprise of the week, as I am going with Olsen. Griese, although he has thrown a few picks, looks to have stabilized the offense, especially in the second half against Green Bay. He also showed a propensity for throwing to his TEs, who seem to be the only players who can catch. Shockey has underwhelmed all season. Besides, it's a bad week for New York teams; right Yankees fans?
E Graham v B Leonard: Tough one, as I don't like both players. I am going to go with B Leonard though, since he brings the receiving threat. Don't expect much from either though.
Thanks and good luck to everyone this week, unless you play Justin.
