Lets do this a little different. I have been kind of doing game overviews instead of previews. Starting here I will either be picking a Start or Sit for each game without quoting obvious stuff like "Start Aaron Rodgers" etc...
Lions vs Chiefs
Start Matt Stafford-He's been transparent most of season so far. He's starting to heat up and he should have a pretty good week this week.
Bucs vs Falcons
Start Doug Martin-Here is another guy starting to heat up. He is a top 10 RB in most non-PPR leagues and is almost a Top 5 RB in PPR leagues.
Chargers vs Ravens
Start Ladarius Green-Most of the time saying to start a TE doesn't mean much but the Ravens have a pretty bad pass defense allowing 283 yards/game and the Chargers, not surprisingly, have a pretty good Pass Offense.
Vikings vs Bears
Start Stefon Diggs-Sure he's a Rookie...Sure he's only started 2 of the 3 games he's played in...But he's already the Vikings leading receiver. He has the eye of Teddy Bridgewater and I don't see this production stopping.
Cardinals vs Browns
Start Chris Johnson-Start him all day. The Browns Run Defense is horrible and CJ2K should be able to exploit them a lot. They allow about 151 yards/game on the ground alone.
Titans vs Texans
Sit all of the Titans-Every single one of them. Sure the Dolphins were able to shred them last week but the Titans already have a pretty bad Offense and then you take out their starting QB. Nope bench them all.
Giants vs Saints
Sit the Saints Receivers-Their leading receiver has 1 TD and is averaging only 65 yards/game. That is bad. That's essentially 6 points/game with 1 of the 7 games being 13 points.
Bengals vs Steelers
Sit Ben Roethlisberger-I just advise you to have tempered expectations. He's been off for a few weeks and we don't know how he's going to react to playing again. He could be good...but there is more of a chance he is just average.
49ers vs Rams
Sit Everyone but Todd Gurley-That is all
Jets vs Raiders
Start Amari Cooper-Sure he's a rookie but he's also a top 20 WR. He seems to have good chemistry with Derek Carr and should have a decent day today.
Seahawks vs Cowboys
Sit Dez Bryant-I'm not certain he plays but if he does keep him on the pine until you can see what he can do. Especially with Romo's replacement still at QB. Then if he does well put him in next week.
Packers vs Broncos
Start the Green Bay Defense-2 weeks ago they got shredded by Philip Rivers and the Chargers. This week Peyton Manning is the QB facing them. At this point in their careers there is a complete difference in the ability of those 2. Peyton is obviously on his way out much like the great QBs before him in Brett Favre, Dan Marino, John Elway, etc...They just start to lose velocity, then their decision making gets shaky because they can't make the throws they used to, then their quality suffers.
Colts vs Panthers
Sit Andrew Luck-There I said it. Unless you have absolutely no other Quarterback I do not see a reason to keep starting him while he's going through a lull right now.
Lions vs Chiefs
Start Matt Stafford-He's been transparent most of season so far. He's starting to heat up and he should have a pretty good week this week.
