NFL Week 6 Fantasy Start 'em/ Sit 'em

Jonathan Hartman

Start ‘em
Clinton Portis- WAS RB (vs. STL) – Washington seems to be improving and much of the praise should fall on the shoulders of Portis. Now put those shoulders in front of a struggling St. Louis Rams team, which is allowing on average 166 rushing yards per game, and it looks like a good fantasy start.

Sit ‘em
Oakland Defense and Special Teams (vs. NO) – Let’s put it this way. Would you want to have to face Reggie Bush this weekend? He runs two punts back for touchdowns and they lose. That means he’ll even try harder.

Good luck Oakland, you might need it.

Jimmy Smith

Start ‘em
Thomas Jones- NYJ RB (vs. CIN) – He will have an ideal opportunity to turn his season around with this matchup against the Bengals, who have allowed 171 rushing yards per game and six touchdowns on the season.

He is also coming off of a bye week and the Bengals will be on defense a lot.

Sit ‘em
Philip Rivers- SD QB (vs. NE) –He suffered bruised ribs against the Dolphins, which should limit his play. The Patriots pass defense is pretty good, No. 8 in pass defense. The last three games against New England, Rivers hasn't gone over 230 passing yards and has two touchdowns and five interceptions.
