Start em / Sit em Week 2

Start Em
Matt Stafford - It's good to be Matt Stafford... real good... it's also good to own Matt Stafford. Even though Megatron has been listed as questionable all week, Stafford is a must start.

Rex Grossman - Dating back to last season Rex has basically been a starting fantasy QB. He was probably drafted as a backup or not drafted at all. Either way, he should be active in your lineup if you don't have a true stud.

Felix Jones - Felix was bottled up by the Jets stout run D last week but with Dez likely wearing street clothes, Felix plans to be more involved in the offensive gameplan.

Darren Sproles - Last week wasn't a bad start to his Saints career but I believe he gets rolling against the Bears this week. Even with Urlacher in the lineup and his boys playing with passion and heavy hearts. Sproles is a upgrade to Reggie Bush and this week he will shine.

Plaxico Burress - the Jags secondary made Kenny Britt look like Jerry Rice. With Santonio questionable i like Plax's chances at putting up some nice #'s this week. Same goes for Keller who looks ready to BREAKOUT this year.

Jordy Nelson - Each week he proves to me that he's Aaron Rodgers 3rd favorite target behind Jennings and Finley. With a QB like Rodgers and all those weapons on offense it's a "pick your poison" if your the defensive coordinator. You can't stop the Packers offense. You just have to limit the damage.

Fred Davis - Earlier this week I urged you to pick up Fred Davis and get him in your lineup. I heeded my own advice and now i have Dallas Clark on the bench and Fred Davis active. I put my money where my mouth is on this one. Fingers crossed.

Sit Em
Josh Freeman - I'll be down on Josh Freeman till he proves me wrong. Although I like Tampa's chances of coming out with a W up in Minny this week you should keep him on your bench.

Matt Cassel - same feeling here. I have more confidence in Alex Smith than i do in Cassel. Period.

MJD - Hard to bench your first round pick but with Luke McCown under center and your top receiving threat (TE - Lewis) showing up on the injury report, you have to think the Jets will put 8-9 in the box and either stuff the run or blitz the QB. Either way i see MJD disappointing his owners.

DeAngelo Williams - not much hope to get the running game going this week for the Panthers. The only Panthers worth considering this week are Steve Smith and Greg Olsen... and only as a last resort.

Jeremy Maclin - he's still getting back into playing shape. He'll be a great flex play come midseason but i just don't trust him yet.

Mike Thomas - he has virtually no chance of putting up starter numbers vs. Revis.

Scott Chandler - he was a popular waiver add this week after his breakout in week 1 but you shouldn't insert him into your lineup yet. Use a wait and see approach with Chandler. He's more likely a bye-week fill in than an every week starter.
