Sunday Early Morning Edition
Who
are you Starting & Sitting (Week 4)
Start
or Sit
(Sunday’s
Games)
Marcus
Mariota (start) The Titans are on the road this week, but that shouldn't slow
quarterback Marcus Mariota. Currently the No.10 fantasy QB Mariota will look to
increase his numbers today against a Texans defense that allows the 8th most
fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks; start him.
Marquise
Lee (start) How
often will you hear anyone say to start a Jaguars receiver. With Allen Robinson
done for the season, Lee who emerged in the second half of last season has
started to become more active with 19 targets over his last two games. If he
stays involved today, look for him to find the end zone for the first time this
season.
Kelvin
Benjamin (start) The Panthers wide out was removed from the injury report, so
he should be good to go and I like him today against the Patriots. The Pats
have allowed the 5th most receiving yards to opposing wide receivers; start
Benjamin.
Adam
Thielen (start) The Vikings passing game has received a new injection with the
surprise play of quarterback Case Keenum. Through the two weeks Keenum has started,
Thielen has been effective; 10 receptions for 142 yards over the past 2 weeks.
I expect another productive day from Thielen, start him.
Austin
Hopper (sit) The
Falcons tight end has not been a big part of the offense this early part of the
season with just 6 targets through 3 games. Don’t expect Hooper to get
kickstarted today against a Bills defense that has been stingy against opposing
tight ends.
Joe
Flacco (sit) After
last weeks dismal performance, I don’t expect there are too many rolling with
Flacco today. He should have been on your bench last week and that’s where he
should stay today. The Steelers defense limits opposing quarterbacks to the 3rd
fewest fantasy points, sit no go Joe.
Isaiah
Crowell (sit) Crowell has quietly become a forgotten man in fantasy through
the first three weeks. Crowell was expected to be a top 20 fantasy runner,
currently No.40 in PPR, today’s matchup against the Bengals is not likely to
help his cause. Sit the Crow.
Sammy
Watkins (start) This is a gut call, but I also like the matchup. Watkins will
be available week 4 and the big play receiver should have success working
against a Cowboys secondary that has allowed the 5th most receptions and 4
touchdowns to opposing receivers. Start Sammy.
Travis
Benjamin (start) A Philip Rivers favorite in the passing game it seems, Benjamin
was pretty good a week ago with 5 receptions for 105 yards receiving. The two
should have no problem keeping this combo rolling against an Eagles defense
that has allowed the most receptions to opposing receivers. Start him.
Paul
Perkins (sit) The Giants run game has been non-existent and even more so
running back Paul Perkins has done nothing through three games. He may
eventually get things turned around, but too risky to chance today. Sit Perkins.
Chris
Johnson (start) CJ2K looked a little rusty last week, so with another week of
practicing perhaps he can get his wheels spinning into a higher gear. He’s got
the matchup to make some noise today against the Niner’s 22nd ranked run
defense.
Jamaal
Charles (start) This is not too bold, but it’s risky, start Jam today against
the Raiders. Last week Charles played out as a nice flex option with 56 yards
and a score. He’ll get a few more carries today and I like his chances to break
one against the league’s 19th ranked run defense (Raiders).
Paul
Richardson (start) The Seahawks receiver has had a nose for the end zone in the
early going this season with two scores. The Colts allow the 9th most fantasy
points to opposing WRs, I like Richardson here to be more involved, especially
with Baldwin less than 100 percent. Start Richardson.
That’s My Take.
