NFL Week 4 Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Advice

Question: Who do I play in week 4?

RB: (Start 1-2): Pierre Thomas vs. NYJ, Ray Rice @ NE, Glen Coffee vs. STL

WR: (Start 3-4): Reggie Wayne vs. SEA, Chad Johnson @ CLE , Donald Driver @ MIN, Vincent Jackson @ PIT

I was thinking I will start:

RB: Thomas and Coffee
WR: Wayne, Ochocinco, and Driver

I don’t want to sit Vincent Jackson, but I hate his match up @ Pittsburgh. I could put him in the roster in place of Coffee, who I picked up since I picked him up on waivers since he should tear up Seattle with Frank Fore being limited in action.

Answer:

Start Pierre Thomas and Glen Coffee. St. Louis’ run defense is pathetic and the Saints will put up big numbers.

At wide receiver, I would start Reggie Wayne, Ochocinco, and Vincent Jackson, even though he’s playing against Pittsburgh. You have to play your best players regardless of their matchup. I don’t think Pittburgh’s defense is too overwhelming right now, especially with Polamalu out. The Chargers offense is too strong at this point to bench him.

You have a phenomincal receiving corp.

Question: I need some WR/RB start/sit help for week 4.

I need some advice for this week at these positions

WR:  Eddie Royal vs. DAL or Percy Harvin vs. GB

RB: Ray Rice @NE or Donald Brown vs. SEA

Thanks!

Answer:

Play Percy Harvin. He has shown me much more than Eddie Royal. I would also go with Ray Rice. Although McGahee is stealing all of his TDs, Rice picks up all of the yards and gets more touches than Donald Brown.

START ‘EM IN WEEK 4

1.) Darren McFadden — A bit disappointing through 3 games, but he should have a monster day against the 32nd ranked Texans run defense and overall defense.

2.) Clinton Portis — After being a great fantasy back in 2008, Portis has been struggling.  Start him against the Bucs this week and if he doesn’t get going against this 31st ranked run D, then you know he may not be worth starting for the rest of the year.

3.) Cedric Benson — The Bengals are facing the Browns, so you obviously want to start him.

4.) Tashard Choice — With Barber questionable and now Felix Jones out with an injury, the spotlight is solely on him.  He’s proven he can catch out of the backfield, which Romo likes to do frequently if his receivers are covered.

5.) Willie Parker — Time for Wast Willie Parker to get going against a Chargers defense that has been spotty against the run.

6.) Justin Gage — A matchup against the 32nd ranked passing D should give the Titans a W and pad his stat sheet.

7.) Earl Bennett/Devin Hester/Johnny Knox — I like any receiver playing the Lions so all these Bears WRs are a go.

8.) Mike Sims-Walker — The Titans have been awful against the pass and Garrard is giving Sim-Walker a lot of looks.

9.) Brandon Marshall — Marshall is back to producing and he was up against lock-down CB Awesome-ungha [sic] last week.  Against a shoddy Cowboys pass D, this should be his big breakout game.  I’m thinking triple-digit yardage.

10.) Lee Evans — A bit dissappointing so far, but he’s probably your #3 guy.  The Dolphins struggle against the pass, so this could be …

Question: Week 4 Start or Sit (Romo or Campbell)?

Who should I start this week at QB, Tony Romo @ DEN, or Jason Campbell vs. TBy?

Best answer:

Romo is always capable of putting up huge numbers. He got me 30 points in week 1. However, the argument to be made for Jason Campbell is that he is playing an atrocious Tampa Bay team. You play your best players and Romo has the most upside this week.  I would go with Romo.

Before we get started, I just want to let you know that I’ve already posted up my NFL Week 4 Predictions. I also wrote an article on solid week 4 waiver wire pickups to consider.  Check both of those out.

START ‘EM:

1.) Fred Taylor & Maurice Jones-Drew – The Jags got back to doing what they do best: running the football. There were enough carries for both players against the Colts and they both put up huge numbers. This week, the Jags will remain committed to the run against the Texans, who are allowing 168.5 yards on the ground.

2.) Selvin Young – If you haven’t been playing Selvin Young, this may be a good week to start him. In his last two games he’s turned in 78 and 65 yard games. Even more impressive is his average: 6.9 YPC. Against the Chiefs, the 31st ranked rushing defense, he should have a big game.

3.) Marshawn Lynch – Not that you would ever sit him the way that he’s playing, but he has the Rams this week. I think he’s good for 150 yards and 2 TDs. The Rams are allowing 2 rushing TDs per game.

4.) Chris Perry – Perry was finally able to do some things rushing the ball and he got 74 yards of 20 carries and a TD against the Giants, who have a pretty good run defense. This week, he’ll have an easier defense to work with: the Cleveland Browns (25th against the run). The Browns are also allowing 2 rushing TDs per game.

5.) Lee Evans – Evans has gotten off to a good start, averaging 81.3 YPG. Look for him to break the century mark against the Rams this week.

6.) …
