ADD 'EM WEEK 9
Please note: I'll list players who are 50% or less owned.
Alex Smith QB-49ERS: He has been quiet good since taking over for Shaun Hill, and should be a must add this week against the Titans, who are the league's worst pass defense. I think him and Michael Crabtree are good plays this week, and should both be added.
Jeremy Maclin WR-EAGLES: He had a decent game last week, catching 4 passes for 47 yards and a TD. I like this week's matchup against an overrated Cowboys defense, in a game that should be a shootout. He's a good WR3 or flex play for this week.
Laurence Maroney RB-PATRIOTS: Fred Taylor and Sammy Morris are still out, which means Maroney will get the lion's share of the carries for another week.
Ryan Moats RB -TEXANS: With "Fumbles Slaton" finally getting benched, Moats took full advantage and ran for 126 yards and 3 TD's [granted, against a weak run defense] . The Texans will likely give him more chances to take over for the inconsistent Slaton, and he should be added in most leagues (or if you need a rb or bye week fill in)
Jamaal Charles RB-CHIEFS: Larry Johnson has been suspended for at least this week, which means Charles finally gets his shot. He has been pretty good in limited action this year, but with Johnson on the decline, and the Chiefs at 1-6, he will get every opportunity to win this job outright.
Fred Davis TE-REDSKINS: Chris Cooley is out for at least the next 4 weeks, and Davis took full advantage by catching 8 passes for 78 yards and a TD. If you need a bye week fill in, this is probably the best free agent tight end out there.
Have any other players in mind? feel free to post your questions/comments below:

START 'EM WEEK 8
Aaron Rodgers QB-VIKINGS: This pick may surprise alot, especially after he was thrown around like a ragdoll in week 4 against the Vikings, but he did also throw for 384 yards and 2 TD's.
LT Chad Clifton is back to protect Rodgers against Jared Allen ( who had 4.5 sacks in that game). Another footnote from last week's game against the Browns, is that the Packers didn't allow any sacks, which is hopefully a step in the right direction. Vikings CB Antoine Winfield will sit out another game, further hindering the Vikings secondary. I think Rodgers gets over 300 yards with 2 or 3 scores, and more importantly the Win.
David Garrard QB -JAGUARS: He should be well rested after the bye... not that he will need it against the Titans awful secondary. He burned them for 323 yards and 3 TD's the last time they played, and it should be more of the same this week.
Miles Austin WR- COWBOYS: He's clearly the man in Dallas, having had 421 yards receiving with 4 Td's in the past 2 weeks...will he continue to average 200 yards a game? not likely...but 120 yards and a score look certain. [btw...to the 8% in who's leagues this guy is not owned...GRAB HIM]
Mike Sims-Walker WR-JAGUARS: Another good matchup for Sims-Walker, who should have no trouble beating the Titans...Torry Holt is also a pretty decent start as a flex play.
Steven Jackson RB-RAMS: He has yet to find the endzone this year...but that should change against the Lions. He is basically the only talent on offense for the Rams, who will have to utilize him more frequently...I think he goes for 150 total yards and a score.
Thomas Jones RB-JETS: With Leon Washington out for the year, Jones becomes a must start for the run heavy Jets. He has 331 rushing yards the past 2 weeks, and should have a good game against Miami.
LaDainian Tomlinson RB-CHARGERS: You have to love his matchup against the Raiders, who have allowed the second most points to running backs. He has lost a step, and doesn't run with the same authority he used to...but against the Raiders, that doesn't really matter.
San Diego Chargers defense: The latest team lucky enough to play the Raiders. JaMarcus Russell still can't throw...Darius Heyward-Bey still cant catch, and Darren Mcfadden is still injured....enjoy

SIT 'EM WEEK 8
Matt Ryan QB-FALCONS: He's facing a defense that has 13 interceptions in 6 games, so if you have another choice, this may be the week to sit him.
Greg Jennings WR-PACKERS: The Packers have Problems at the O-line, which means Aaron Rodgers doesn't have enough time to air it out to Jennings, and this is especially true against a team like Minnesota, who will be pressuring Rodgers all day. I think he has a similar line to his previous game against the Vikings, which was 3 catches for 31 yards.
Michael Crabtree WR-49ERS: Had a nice debut, and should benefit from Alex Smith becoming the starting qb...but not this week against a fearsome Colts secondary, bolstered by the return of All Pro Bob Sanders.
Roy Williams WR-COWBOYS: Miles Austin didn't just beat opposing secondary's....he also beat Williams out on the depth chart. He only has a combined `12 points in the last 4 weeks, and that trend will continue.
Joseph Addai RB-COLTS: He has been very disappointing, and hasn't gotten over 70 yards in a game the whole year. That probably wont change against the 49er's.
Ryan Grant RB-PACKERS: The Vikings are 10th against the run, but have a very beatable secondary, so the Packers will likely look to pass. The last time these 2 teams met, Grant had only 11 carries for 51 yards. I think he has a better game then that, but if you have a better option, you should sit Grant this week.
There are 6 team's on bye's this week, so you may have to use these guys...just dont expect too much.
Greg Jennings WR-PACKERS: The Packers have Problems at the O-line, which means Aaron Rodgers doesn't have enough time to air it out to Jennings, and this is especially true against a team like Minnesota, who will be pressuring Rodgers all day. I think he has a similar line to his previous game against the Vikings, which was 3 catches for 31 yards.

ADD 'EM WEEK 8
[Note: I'll list players that are 50% or less owned in standard leagues]
6 more teams are on bye's this week, so here are some add's to get you through the week:
Mike Wallace WR- STEELERS: He happens to be one of the players with a bye this week, but he's a good add for coming weeks. If you need a Wr down the road and have an extra roster space, he's a decent add. He's the Steelers #3 and Roethlisberger is starting to look for him more. He's a good wr3 in 12 team leagues or flex play.
Jake Delhomme QB- PANTHERS: He's not pretty...but if you're in a qb bind, then maybe roll out FAKE JAKE one more time. He's facing the Cardinals, who are very user friendly against the pass. He did have a somewhat decent game (for Delhomme standards) against the Bills, throwing for 325 yards with 3 INT's. He's always a risk, but he may be worth a "hail mary" this week with 6 teams on bye's.
Shonn Greene RB-JETS: Leon Washington is presumably out for the year, which makes Shonn Greene this weeks HOT ADD. He had 144 rushing yards with 2 TD's against Buffalo. He will get more exposure now that Washington is out, and is a must add if you need a rb.
Mohamed Massaqoui WR- BROWNS: He has alot of talent, but not a good QB. Against Green Bay, he was limited to 1 catch for 22 yards by All pro's Al Harris and Charles Woodson. The good thing I saw in that game though was that he was targeted twice when the Browns were in the redzone, including on 4th down so he's becoming a big part of this offense.
Mike Bell RB-SAINTS: If you desperately need a rb, he could be a good plug n' play this week.
Lance Moore WR- SAINTS: One of Brees's favorite targets, the now healthy WR should have good numbers in this pass first offense. I especially like him in weeks 9-11, when he will be facing Carolina, St Louis and Tampa Bay respectively.
Alex Smith QB- 49ERS: He's the newly anointed starter after leading a furious rally last week against Houston. He passed for 3 TD's and looked fantastic. He has some nice weapons to work with, and if you need a QB, I think he's worth a gamble.
Michael Crabtree WR- 49ERS: The rookie performed admirably in his first game, catching 5 catches for 56 yards. New QB Alex Smith has a stronger arm then the demoted Shaun Hill, further adding to Crabtree's value.
James Jones WR-PACKERS: If you are in a deep league, take a shot at the 2% owned Jones. WR Jordy Nelson is out for the next 3 weeks, which makes Jones the Packers #3 for the time being. He's had TD's the past 2 weeks, and look for that to continue with Nelson out and Jennings underperforming.
Sam Aiken WR- PATRIOTS: He had 2 catches for 66 yards and a TD. Julian Edelman is injured, and Joey Galloway was released, which makes the 2% owned Aiken a good add in deep leagues.
Jamaal Charles RB-CHIEFS: He's on a bye this week, but its just a matter of time till the 1-6 Chiefs give him the starters job with Larry Johnson stinking it up to the tune of 2.7 yards per carry. They need an offensive spark, and need to see if Charles can be relied upon for next season.
Arizona Cardinals defense: This defense is atrocious against the pass, but very good against the run...which makes this week's matchup PERFECT! as the Panthers only viable offensive threats is their running back tandem of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart, who may have a hard time establishing a running game. If you need a plug n play defense this week, try the Cards.

START 'EM WEEK 7
Eli Manning QB- GIANTS: The Giants are playing the worst pass defense, who also happen to be one of the best run defense's, so logic is they will pass alot in this game, which should bode well for Manning, after a disappointing week 6. This game could be a shootout, with 2 very high powered offense's, so start Eli with confidence.
Miles Austin WR- COWBOYS: Tony Romo's new favorite target should see alot of passes come his way against Atlanta's hurt secondary . He has surpassed Roy Williams and Patrick Crayton in the depth chart, and should be a great WR3 or flex play. If by some miracle [or stupidity] he's still available in your league, grab him.
Austin Collie WR- COLTS: He has looked really good as Manning's slot reciever, and with Anthony Gonzalez still nursing an injury, he should have plenty of touches against St Louis. I also like Pierre Garcon in this matchup, which should see Manning get his 6th straight 300 yard game.
Thomas Jones RB- JETS: The Raiders are allowing alot of rushing TD's...and Jones gets all the goal line carries, so he will probably get a score or two.
Laurence Maroney RB- PATRIOTS: He has a good matchup against the Bucs, and with Taylor and Morris hurt, it's his show for now.
Larry Johnson RB- CHIEFS: I don't like him, but love his matchup against the Chargers, who have allowed the second most fantasy points to RB's. In a week with 6 teams on bye's, I think he's a good gamble this week.
Jermichael Finley TE-PACKERS: Different week, same name. A big, physical tight end with good hands and a great matchup...what's not to love?
New York Jets defense: You gotta love any team that plays the Raiders. Even though they have lost 3 straight, it hasn't been the defense's fault. This is the same defense that limited New England to 9 points in week 2.

SIT 'EM WEEK 7
Welcome to week 7. Here's this week's sit 'ems:
Donovan Mcnabb QB- EAGLES: What a letdown against the Raiders last week! He's facing the third best secondary [Redskins], so don't look for a bounce back this week...nor next week against the Giants...
DeSean Jackson WR- EAGLES: Read above.
Steve Smith WR - PANTHERS: The Panthers are still starting Delhomme, which means more dud performances from Smith. He had a great matchup last week, but only got 1 reception for 4 yards. The Panthers will probably look to run the ball against the Bills...so dont expect anything big from Smith.
Santana Moss WR- REDSKINS: The 'skins are having big time QB troubles, which doesn't bode well for Moss. If you have a better option, sit him.
Roy Williams WR-COWBOYS: His ribs are still hurting, and he will probably play this week...but he's not a good start. Miles Austin has essentially leapfrogged both him and Patrick Crayton in the depth chart.
Rashard Mendenhall RB- STEELERS: Good news: He's officially won the starting job over Willie Parker... Bad news: He's facing the Vikings this week, who are great against the run. The Vikes are average against the pass, so look for Roethlisberger to air it out early and often.
Brandon Jacobs RB- GIANTS: The Cardinals are great against the run...but the worst against the pass...what do you think will happen?
Carnell Williams RB -BUCCANEERS: Going up against New England, I doubt he has alot of carries. The Bucs will be down by alot with their depleted secondary being shredded by Brady, so I think Williams checks out early.
This week has 6 teams on bye's, so you may have to use these guys...just dont expect too much.

TRADE 'EM
I would like to debut a new column about players whom you should be trading. These are player's who may have big name recognition, but no game performance, so trade them while they're still worth something. The following is a short list, but feel free to comment if you have any specific players.
Brandon Jacobs RB-GIANTS: He hasn't looked right all year, and I doubt he will regain his past form. Ahmad Bradshaw is starting to get more carries, plus he's a better receiver. It's clear that the Giants cannot rely on Jacobs anymore, and I think they will start to limit him. He has faced some soft run defense's and done nothing, so trade him while he still has value. [added incentive? he faces the Cards this week, who are excellent against the run]
Steve Smith WR-PANTHERS: The "original" Steve Smith has looked anything but. It's not that he slowed down or is injury prone, it's that he has Jake Delhomme throwing to him. Even against soft secondaries, Delhomme hasn't been able to deliver to Smith, and even if they put Matt Moore in, I don't think he will improve. The Panther's will likely start to do what got them to 12-4 last year...and that's RUN! I think DeAngelo Williams has a better second half, as the Panthers will start to rely on him and Jonathan Stewart.
Thomas Jones RB- JETS: He's had a few nice games...but he cant be relied upon. He averages about 15 carries a game, and even that might soon be dwindling with Leon Washington and Shonn Greene in the mix. I think now is a GREAT time to trade him after his 210 yard game padded his stats abit, so you might be able to find someone to take him off your hands.
Reggie Bush RB- SAINTS: Averaging about 10 carries and 7 points a game, It's becoming increasingly clear Bush will never be the back everyone envisioned he would be. He's been used sparingly, and with the Saints having so many weapons on offense, I don't see a turnaround anytime soon.
Terrell Owens WR- BILLS: The Bills have a mess at Qb, and an even bigger mess with T.O .
Owens has been below average all year, with no sign of a turnaround, it's time to realize he will never again be the T.O of old...just an OLD T.O
Tony Romo QB- COWBOYS: He has been very inconsistent all year, and the Cowboys do have some tough opponents in the future. They don't have the wide receiver depth they thought they had, with Patrick Crayton and Roy Williams both being dissapointments. I think he will be feast or famine the whole year, so if you can get a good trade for him, I'd take it.
Clinton Portis RB- REDSKINS: Another one of the "on the downside of his career" running backs that you should avoid. He hasn't been able to take advantage of good matchups, and with the Redskins having Qb trouble, it can only get worse, as teams will target him more.
Have any other players in mind? feel free to comment...

ADD 'EM WEEK 7
Here's this week's add 'em's:
Mohamed Massaquoi WR-BROWNS: Still only 19% owned in Yahoo leagues. Massaquoi had 5 catches for 83 yards against Pittsburgh. He's Derek Anderson's only viable recieving option, so he could get alot of catches. He seems to have more chemistry with Anderson than Brady Quinn, so the QB switch should benefit him. With Braylon Edwards gone to the Jets, and the Browns likely to be behind in most games, he should put up some good numbers. He will be especially valuable in weeks 15-17 when he faces the Chiefs , Raiders and the Jaguars.
Mike Wallace WR- STEELERS: Wallace had 71 total yards in week 6 against the Browns. He is fast becoming one of Roethlisberger's favourite targets, and I think he's a good add in deep leagues or as a flex play.
Lance Moore WR- SAINTS: He was injured for awhile, but finally came up big against the Giants with 6 catches for 78 yards and a TD. Drew Brees looked his way often, and will continue to do so now that he is healthy. Have in mind that last year he had 928 yards recieving with 10 TD's.
Michael Crabtree WR- 49ers: He's going to start this week opposite Isaac Bruce against Houston, so if you need a bye week fill in, you may want to take a flier on him.
Hakeem Nicks WR- GIANTS: 32% owned in Yahoo leagues. Nicks is improving with each passing week, and has better hands then Mario Manningham. He had 114 yards receiving with a TD against the Saints. With corners concentrating on Steve Smith and Manningham, Nicks could have alot of touches in the coming weeks, especially this week against Arizona. If he's available in your league , add him!!
Jermichael Finley TE- PACKERS: If you need a good TE, grab this guy! a tall reciever with good hands and great speed, he is one of the Packers biggest threats, and is continuing to improve. With defenses zero-ing in on Jennings and Driver, and with the Packers O-line a mess, you could see Rodgers dumping it off to Finley often.
Have any questions? feel free to comment and I'll answer
Mohamed Massaquoi WR-BROWNS: Still only 19% owned in Yahoo leagues. Massaquoi had 5 catches for 83 yards against Pittsburgh. He's Derek Anderson's only viable recieving option, so he could get alot of catches. He seems to have more chemistry with Anderson than Brady Quinn, so the QB switch should benefit him. With Braylon Edwards gone to the Jets, and the Browns likely to be behind in most games, he should put up some good numbers. He will be especially valuable in weeks 15-17 when he faces the Chiefs , Raiders and the Jaguars.
Mike Wallace WR- STEELERS: Wallace had 71 total yards in week 6 against the Browns. He is fast becoming one of Roethlisberger's favourite targets, and I think he's a good add in deep leagues or as a flex play.
Lance Moore WR- SAINTS: He was injured for awhile, but finally came up big against the Giants with 6 catches for 78 yards and a TD. Drew Brees looked his way often, and will continue to do so now that he is healthy. Have in mind that last year he had 928 yards recieving with 10 TD's.

THE ULTIMATE LINEUP
Hey peeps...
Hope your lineup's are all set for this week's action, and good luck!!
Here is this week's ULTIMATE LINEUP ( the players whom i believe will have the best fantasy stats per position )
QB-AARON RODGERS-PACKERS: Well rested, revamped O-line means A-rod will have a huge day against the luckless Lions. I think he goes OVER 300 yards with 3 or 4 scores.
WR-RANDY MOSS- PATRIOTS: A nice matchup against the depleted Titans secondary should mean a big day for Moss. I think he gets 9 catches for 115 yards and a TD.
WR-GREG JENNINGS-PACKERS: Has had a quiet season so far....but that about to change as he burns the Lions for 2 scores this week.
WR-STEVE SMITH-PANTHERS: A gut feeling he has one of those 200 yard 2 TD days against the Bucs.
RB-MICHAEL TURNER- FALCONS: Also a gut feeling he finally turns it on.
RB-CEDRIC BENSON- BENGALS: I never thought I would utter the words "Benson" and "must start" in the same sentence, but boy did he turn it on or what? I think he goes for 110 yards with 1 or 2 TD's
TE-TONY GONZALEZ- FALCONS: Dallas Clark and Jason Witten both have Bye's, so I guess I'll go with the next best choice.
K-LAWRENCE TYNES- GIANTS: He's kicking in a dome, which means he wont have any weather issues to deal with, plus this game could be huge, with 2 high powered offenses.
DEF- PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: Here's a rule that you should always remember...start ANYONE who plays the Raiders, especially the Mcfadden-less Raiders.
4TH AND LONG: KNOWSHON MORENO RB-BRONCOS: I predict he goes over 100 yards with a TD

START 'EM WEEK 6
Matt Hasselbeck QB- SEAHAWKS: He passed for 4 TD'S on his return from injury, and this week he gets the NFL's weakest secondary.
David Garrard QB- JAGUARS:Boy , did he miss Sims-Walker last week or what? I think he will have a good game against the dreadful Rams.
Randy Moss WR- PATRIOTS: He should be able to pick apart the depleted Titans secondary, so I think him and Wes Welker should be good starts this week.
Greg Jennings WR-PACKERS: The Packers are fresh off the bye, and get the worst pass defense (for TD's allowed), which should mean good numbers for Jennings and Donald Driver, and if you need some tight end help, Jermichael Finley should also have a very solid game.
Steve Smith WR-CAROLINA: The "original" Steve Smith should have a huge day against the Bucs secondary , who are giving up over 2 passing scores a week.
T.J Houshmandzadeh/Nate Burleson WR - SEAHAWKS: I could see both of them having repeat performances like last week...2 TD'S each.
Mike Sims-Walker WR- JAGUARS: He's Garrard's go to guy , and they play the Rams...you make the math.
Jeremy Maclin WR - EAGLES: With Nnamdi Asomugha covering DeSean Jackson, I could see Maclin having another big day against the Raiders. Kevin Curtis is likely out another week, so he should have plenty of targets to keep his owners happy.
Knowshon Moreno RB- BRONCOS:He continues to "KnowSHINE" with each passing week, and this week should be no different...He will shred the Chargers.
Sammy Morris RB- PATRIOTS: Taylor is out for atleast the next 3 weeks, so Morris should continue to see the most carries.
DeAngelo Williams RB- PANTHERS: No longer a "must start", but I think he breaks out of his slump this week against the 5th worst rush defense .
Rashard Mendenhall RB- STEELERS : This is presuming Willie Parker doesn't play this week...and you better hope he doesn't, becuase the Browns are last in rush defense.
Have a start 'em sit 'em question? feel free to comment below, or email me and I'll be glad to answer
Jake Delhomme QB- PANTHERS: Just so we get this clear...he SUCKS...but if you're in a bind , you could do worse then ol' Jake, who's playing the Bucs this week. He should be started in deeper leagues/2 qb leagues only!!
David Garrard QB- JAGUARS:Boy , did he miss Sims-Walker last week or what? I think he will have a good game against the dreadful Rams.
Randy Moss WR- PATRIOTS: He should be able to pick apart the depleted Titans secondary, so I think him and Wes Welker should be good starts this week.

SIT 'EM WEEK 6
Jamal Lewis/Jerome Harrison RB- BROWNS: Lewis returned with a roar last week to the tune of 117 rushing yards, but don't expect anywhere near that this week against a tough matchup against Blittzburgh . You think Derek Anderson's 2/17 game was bad...this could be worse.
Ray Rice/ Willis Mcgahee Rb - RAVENS: Love the players , but hate the matchup ( against Minnesota).This should be a very interesting game between two great teams..but I dont think either has a good game ( though i could see Rice being used more as a reciever)
LaDainian Tomlinson RB- CHARGERS: He lacks the strength , speed and burst that made him one of the best running backs of the decade, and at 30 years old , the mileage is starting to take its toll. In week 4 he rushed 7 times for 15 yards against Pittsburgh , so expect the same against a suddenly deadly Denver defense.
Brett Favre QB- VIKINGS: This will most likely be a low scoring game involving 2 great defenses , so dont expect any of the Favre magic this week .
Calvin Johnson WR- LIONS: The lions are not disclosing the seriousness of "Megatron's" injury , but even if he plays , he wont do much against Charles Woodson or Al Harris.
Lee Evans/Terrell Owens WR- BILLS: Both have struggled mightily this season , and dont look for that to change against a fearsome Jets secondary.
Michael Bush/Justin Fargas RB- RAIDERS: They will be down by alot , and therefore have to throw...you dont want any piece of this "offense" on your roster.
If you have any start/sit/trade questions , feel free to email me at theultimatelineup@gmail.com

ADD 'EM WEEK 6
It's gonna be a slow week for waiver-wire pickups. Most of the obvious names are already taken ( Sims-Walker ), and those that aren't ( Miles Austin, Pierre Garcon ) have a bye week , so here is a short list of a few key adds to get you through the bye's.
Mike Sims-Walker WR- JAGUARS: The jags deactivated him for last week's game , and he was consequently , dropped in alot of leagues. Make no mistake about it , he's the Jag's #1 and should be owned in all 10 team leagues. I also really like his favourable matchup against St. Louis this week, and future matchups against Tennessee, Kansas City, Buffalo, Houston and Cleveland.
Jeremy Maclin WR- EAGLES: The "no duh" add of the week. The Eagles play the Raiders this week , and the Redskins next week , which should translate to 2 good games out of Maclin. The oft injured Kevin Curtis is now an afterthought in the Eagles depth chart.
Sammy Morris RB- PATRIOTS: Fred Taylor is out for [atleast] the next 3 weeks , and therefore Morris is the must add rb of the week. He had 107 total yards last week, and I dont think Maroney or Faulk will get anywhere near his 17 carries...then again , with Belichick , who knows?
Jamaal Charles RB- CHIEFS: LJ is done..over...kaput. Averaging 2.4 yards per carry, its just a matter of time before the Chiefs will shelf Johnson and see what they have in Charles ( who is averaging 5.1 yards per carry) I think he is a must add in all 12 team leagues .
Please note: I didn't list Austin Collie,Michael Crabtree or Miles Austin since they have bye's this week.
Mike Sims-Walker WR- JAGUARS: The jags deactivated him for last week's game , and he was consequently , dropped in alot of leagues. Make no mistake about it , he's the Jag's #1 and should be owned in all 10 team leagues.

DROP 'EM
Lee Evans WR - BILLS- 1.10 points? are you kidding me? against the browns?! its time to drop this once promising player.
Glen Coffee RB- 49ERS- It was nice while it lasted , but now they have a bye and Gore is healthy...back to the bench , Mr Coffee.
Trent Edwards QB- BILLS- Didn't take advantage of another easy matchup, very unreliable.
Derek Anderson QB- BROWNS- 2/17 for 23 yards ...not even JaMarcus Russell stunk it up this bad.
Patrick Crayton WR- COWBOYS- Miles Austin totally blew him out of that WR2 spot for the cowboys...not that he was doing anything with it anyway.
Larry Johnson RB- CHIEFS - He's a shell of his former self , and with the Chiefs 0-4 , I think its time to see what Jamaal Charles can do.
Laurence Maroney, Kevin Faulk- PATRIOTS- its the Sammy Morris show for the next 4 weeks ( or until Fred Taylor comes back) .
Ted Ginn Jr WR - DOLPHINS - Had a decent game against the Jets , but too unreliable for fantasy use .
Kerry Collins QB- TITANS- With the Titans at 0-5 and on a bye , its time to pull the plug on Collins. And the Titans will likely see what Vince Young can do after the bye .
Derrick Ward RB- BUCS- Hasn't shown any flashes of last year , and has been very injury prone.
Glen Coffee RB- 49ERS- It was nice while it lasted , but now they have a bye and Gore is healthy...back to the bench , Mr Coffee.
Trent Edwards QB- BILLS- Didn't take advantage of another easy matchup, very unreliable.

THIS WEEK'S HIGH FLIERS
Heres the ultimate lineup for this week ( players who I think will score the most points in their respective positions )
QB-Peyton Manning : 4 straight 300 yard games? make that 5!!
WR-Reggie Wayne : And guess to who those yards are (mostly) going to?
WR-Andre Johnson : It's gonna be a shootout against the Cardinals
WR- Roddy White : Purely a gut feeling , but I think he goes off .
RB- Brandon Jacobs : With Eli banged up , I think the Giants will pound the ball against Oakland ,Look for Jacobs to have his first 100 yard rushing game of the year , along with 1 or 2 scores.
RB- DeAngelo Williams : I think they will start to use the formula from last year , so look for Williams to break out of his funk
TE-Jason Witten : With Roy Williams out , I think Witten will have a monster game
K- Ryan Longwell : He's kicking in a dome , so no wind/weather factor like the other kickers , also... He's facing St Louis.
Def- New York Giants : Theyre facing the raiders minus Mcfadden...nuff' said
SHOCKER PICK OF THE WEEK: DeSean Jackson will have over 15 total points in standard default scoring leagues.
QB-Peyton Manning : 4 straight 300 yard games? make that 5!!
WR-Reggie Wayne : And guess to who those yards are (mostly) going to?

FRED TAYLOR
***Breaking News****
Fred Taylor is out for the next few weeks , though New England still have a RBBC with Sammy Morris , Laurence Maroney and Kevin Faulk .

START 'EM WEEK 5
I'm not going to post the obvious ( AP , MJD , Manning ) , but rb2 or flex type guys that could have a good week.
Ben Roethlisberger Qb - Steelers : Playing extremely well , and throwing alot (over 35 passes a game at a completion rate of 73.2) ,and you gotta love the matchup against the Lions .
David Garrard Qb - Jaguars: A good matchup against the Seahawks , so look for Garrard to have another strong game .
Trent Edwards Qb - Bills: If you need a qb for this week , Edwards may be your best plug 'n play for this week , going against the Cleveland Browns .
Brandon Jacobs Rb -Giants: Chances are , Eli DOESN'T play this week , which means the Giants will have to rely on their running game ( against the Raiders , you don't need a lot to win anyway) I doubt the Giants will air it out with David Carr , so look for Jacobs and Bradshaw to both have good games this week.
Clinton Portis Rb - Redskins: Not what he used to be , but should be very serviceable against an atrocious Carolina defense.
Rashard Mendenhall Rb- Steelers: Parker is out with turf toe , which paves the way for RUSH-HARD to...well , live up to his name
Glen Coffee Rb - 49ERS : Frank Gore is still out , so Coffee should have a big workload against the Falcons .
Knowshon Moreno Rb - Broncos : He has been steadily improving with every game , and I think he should have a good game with Buckhalter out this week . The Broncos look to stay undefeated , and Will have to keep Brady off the field .
Jerome Harrison Rb - Browns : Could have a good week against a weak Buffalo defense ,He's a good RB3 or flex play.
Tim Hightower Rb Cardinals : Not a big fan , but love the matchup . Houston is the lousiest run defense in the league , so look for them to exploit it to break out of their funk.
DeSean Jackson Wr - Eagles: He will blow past the overrated Bucs secondary for at least 1 score .The Eagles are coming off a bye and getting Mcnabb back , so he should have a solid week.
Mike Sims- Walker Wr - Jaguars: Garrard needs to throw it to somebody , right?
Santonio Holmes Wr - Steelers: Same reason as Roethlisberger . The Lions have allowed 12 passing TD'S this year , so he should have one or two this week .
Roddy White Wr - Falcons : This one is purely gut feeling... I think he burns the Niners for a big one this week.
Bernard Berrian Wr - Vikings : Should have a similar 6/75 1TD line like last week against the Lions.
Pierre Garcon Wr - Colts : He has been improving every week ( 24 , 48 , 64 , 71 ) , and is quickly becoming one of Manning's biggest weapons , don't believe me? just look at the video's i posed below : Click Here
Mohamed Masssaqoui Wr Browns: MO-MA is a must add in most formats , as Derek Anderson's only viable target .Have a look at this video : Click Here
Patrick Crayton Wr- Cowboys: With Roy Williams likely sidelined this week , Crayton will get more looks as the Cowboy's #1 Receiver .I really think he goes off in this game , to the tune of 120 yards and 1 score .
Thats it for this week , folks. Please email me if you have any questions/comments/suggestions.
Ben Roethlisberger Qb - Steelers : Playing extremely well , and throwing alot (over 35 passes a game at a completion rate of 73.2) ,and you gotta love the matchup against the Lions .

SIT 'EM WEEK 5
The following should be avoided this week:
Carson Palmer Qb- Bengals: He has a brutal matchup against the Ravens, coupled with the fact that he is nursing a small injury.
Chad Henne Qb - Dolphins: He basically has no recievers ( can you really count Ted Ginn as a reciever?) , so look for Ronnie 'n Ricky early and often.
Derek Anderson "Qb" - Browns : plain and simple , he sucked this morning...and even more so now that he doesnt have Braylon Edwards anymore , even though he's going against a favourable defense , I still dont think he'll have a big game...maybe a big play or two to Massaqoui , but thats about it.
Matthew Stafford Qb - Lions: Overall , I actually like him ( look below at his throw to Massaqoui) , but NOT this week. Rumor is that Troy Polamalu may play , and even if he doesn't , Blitzburgh is a good defense.He also has'nt practiced this week
JaMarcus Russell Qb - Raiders: It doesn't take an expert to dislike Russell , He's inaccurate and does bad throws...might as well make him a tight end
Marc bulger/Kyle Boller Qb- Rams: Whichever plays...it wont be pretty , not with Donnie Avery dropping anything thrown to him , and no other real wr threat...oh and did I mention they're playing the Minnesota Vikings? Jared Allen must be licking his chops for this one.
Steven Jackson Rb- Rams: read above
Kevin Smith Rb - Lions : He has been dinged up this whole week (but did practice today) , even so....Pittsburgh
Thomas Jones Rb - Jets: It was bad enough when Leon Washington was taking carries...now Shonn Greene has also entered the equation.Not pretty...
Larry Johnson Rb - Chiefs: He's averaging 2.6 yards per carry , and has lost a step ( or two or three). He's no longer a viable option ( unless youre in a 16 team league)
Darren Mcfadden Rb - Raiders : He's out for atleast the next 2 weeks...not that he was doing anything anyay.
Antonio Bryant Wr - Bucs: He's been injured , and was limited in practice.
Roy Williams Wr - Cowboys: See above.
Eddie Royal Wr -Broncos: THIS WILL BE THE WEEK!!...err maybe not
Have any lineup questions? you can either comment below or you can email me

Larry Johnson Rb - Chiefs: He's averaging 2.6 yards per carry , and has lost a step ( or two or three). He's no longer a viable option ( unless youre in a 16 team league)
Darren Mcfadden Rb - Raiders : He's out for atleast the next 2 weeks...not that he was doing anything anyay.
Antonio Bryant Wr - Bucs: He's been injured , and was limited in practice.
Roy Williams Wr - Cowboys: See above.
Eddie Royal Wr -Broncos: THIS WILL BE THE WEEK!!...err maybe not
Have any lineup questions? you can either comment below or you can email me
Mohamed Massaquoi
Another Wr you may want to take a flier on is Mohamed Massaquoi, the Browns wr. The Browns have just traded Braylon Edwards to the Jets , which makes Massaquoi the must add. He didn't have chemistry with Brady Quinn , which is why he had a sluggish first 3 games , but did have 14 looks last week when Derek Anderson was playing. If you are in need of a serviceable wr , pick up Massaquoi
Here's a video of Massaquoi showcasing his skills:

GARCON
I had a few emails regarding Pierre Garcon , and why you should add him...so I'll answer it with the two videos below:
This guy has some good speed, very good hands, and most importantly, he has Peyton Manning throwing to him

THE ULTIMATE ADVICE FOR THE ULTIMATE LINEUP
Week 5 is upon us, and with that, bye weeks for the Saints, Packers, Bears and the Chargers. Here are a few must adds for weeks 5:
Rashard Mendenhall Rb-Steelers: A week after getting no carries, the kid explodes for 191 total yards and 2 TD's. Look for the same this week , as Pittsburgh faces a very porous Detroit defense. Willie parker has turf toe, and it is ulikely the Steelers will rush him back, especially not against the Lions.
Glen Coffee Rb-49ers: With Frank Gore out for another week (and likely out for the next few weeks), this guy is a must start , as the 49ers will look to pound the ball against the falcons this week. He could also have a HUGE game against the atrocious Texans defense in week 7.
David Garrard Qb- Jaguars: After throwing for 323 yards with 3 TD's against the Titans, Garrard goes against the hapless Seattle Seahawks. He should get over 280 yards with 2 TD's.
Mike Sims-Walker Wr - Jaguars: Garrard's new toy should get plenty of looks this week, and in coming weeks, He is a must-add in all formats.
Pierre Garcon Wr - Colts: Marvin who? With Reggie Wayne getting double coverage, look for this speedster to get alot of points on the bumbling Titans secondary (yes, the same secondary that allowed Garrard to throw for 323 yards). Manning has created a rapport with this kid, and he should be added in all leagues .
Sidney Rice Wr- Vikings: A week after Favre single handedly dismantled the Packers, the Vikings get... St Louis. The Rams are on a 14 game losing streak, and should be CRUSHED in this one .
The "Hail Mary's"
Are you in a canyon-deep league? Here are some of this week's "Hail Mary's",
Chester Taylor Rb - Vikings: This game will pretty much be over by halftime, so Taylor may get some second half carries/receptions. The Vikes may look to limit Adrian Peterson's load this week, so he could get you a solid day in a rb3 or flex position.
Jerome Harrison Rb - Browns : Yep , thats right...im listing a Brown.. As Jamal Lewis is still recovering from his injury, Harrison could get a lot of touches, especially since ..well every other player on offense sucks.
LeSean McCoy Rb- Eagles : Westbrook is coming back this week, but the Eagles should have no trouble against the Bucs, so he may have some late game touches.
Percy Harvin Wr - Vikings : May get a few long balls from the ageless wonder (did I mention they're playing the Rams?)
Patrick Crayton Wr - Cowboys : A nice matchup against the Chiefs...could this be the game?
Lee Evans Wr - Bills: With T.O dropping everything in his path, The Bills may look for Evans deep.
Ok, that's it for today , drop by on Thursday when I'll discuss the "must starts" and the "must sits" for week 5
