NFL Week 5 Fantasy Start 'em/ Sit 'em

Jonathan Hartman

Well, I’ve been having a tough time with predicting these things. I say play Favre against San Diego, and he does nothing. But the next week, he throws for six touchdowns. So, I’m telling you to do the opposite of whatever I say, but that’s assuming I can predict my own wrong predictions.
(Although I’m not too good at predictions, as previously stated)

Start ‘em
Jay Cutler- DEN QB (vs. TB)– After throwing for 361 yards in a losing effort, look for Cutler to be impressive against Tampa Bay. It should be a high scoring game, so Cutler will definitely get his opportunities to rack up fantasy points.

Plus, he’s on my fantasy team, which has to be a good thing, right?

Sit ‘em
Kansas City fans- (@ CAR) – Sorry Kansas City fans, but don’t get too optimistic for that second victory of the year. Your team looked really good last week against Denver; however, it’s probably just a fluke. Carolina (3-1) is a good team. Basically, don’t get your hopes up KC and instead open a bag of chips.

Jimmy Smith

Start ‘em
Steve Slaton- HOU RB (vs. IND) – The Colts are allowing 199.3 rushing yards per game and three rushing touchdowns this year. Slaton started his first game in Week 3 and ran for 116 yards and a touchdown at Tennessee. The Titans boast one of the best defenses in the NFL. He followed that up with 116 total yards and a touchdown against another solid defense at Jacksonville.

Sit ‘em
Ben Roethlisberger- PIT QB (@ JAX) – With Willie Parker (knee) and Rashard Mendenhall (shoulder) out, and Roethlisberger's shoulder is still a concern this offenses is going to be a shell of its normal self. He has yet to pass for 200 yards this year and has one touchdown and two interceptions in his past two games. In the game against the Jags last year Roethlisberger was sacked 11 times in two games.

YIKES.
