Week 14 start/sits!

This is the first playoff game in some leagues and the last regular season games in others, so the start/sits become so important. I think this is where it will make the difference on whether you keep playing or go home.

Starts

1) Dominik Hixon vs. Eagles. With Burress out for the season I expect the other receivers to pick up the slack. Last week I went with Toomer and he had a big game, this week it will be Hixon.

2) Eddie Royal vs. Chiefs. Cutler and company have been doing better each week, and they will want to punish their AFC West rival.

3) Leon Washington vs. 49ers. The Jets will be upset after last week disappointing loss. Leon is very good at scoring out of the backfield and the 49ers and bad at covering RB's on the pass.

4) Matt Cassel vs. Seahawks. Seattle is terrible and the Patriots are trying to make a playoff push. I think the will blow out Seattle to keep up with the Jets.

5) Lendale White vs. Browns. Tennessee will dominate Cleveland all day, clinch a playoff spot, and along with Chris Johnson, White will run all over them.


Sits

1) Jamal Lewis vs. Titans. No quarterback = no help for Lewis. Not to mention the defense is very good against the run.

2) Matt Hasselbeck vs. Patriots. New England has a great defense and Matt has had a very sub par season, I think New England will win this game handily.

3) Tony Romo vs. Steelers. I have Romo in a league that the playoffs begin today. i am true to my word and will sit my star in favor of my back up. I think without Barber in he line up and against the number one defense, he will struggle.

4) Clinton Portis vs. Ravens. He is injured and facing a great run defense. I have to start him because I do not have a quality reserve, but if you can... sit him.

5) David Garrard vs. Bears. Chicago has a stingy defense and will make it hard for Jacksonville to move the ball.
