I am not a fan of the Thursday night games, especially the Thanksgiving Day gamut, with three games already in the books. Doesn't give us pundits much time to sum up the week past and then turn around for the Thursday games, plus get on to Sunday. Jamie Eisenberg put out his Start 'Em and Sit 'Em for this week on the 25th. I generally like what he writes, so here is my spin on what is left for Sunday. Read his article here
Quarterbacks
Start 'Em:
Brett Favre - The Chicago D is not what is once was... too many injuries... not enough talent, Favre should have a good game here.
Carson Palmer - If Cleveland can give up 300+ and FIVE TDs to a rookie like Stafford, Palmer should do pretty well too.
Ben Rothlisberger - This only works if Big Ben starts, which it looks like he will. Surprisingly, except for a few weeks ago, the Ravens D has not been stellar and Rothlisberger could have a good game.
Matt Hasselbeck - The match up with St. Louis is favorable for Hasselbeck, but he continues to disappoint, I wouldn't call him a must start.
Matt Ryan - Ryan bounced back with a good game last week and Tampa should allow him to continue the trend
Sit 'Em
Joe Flacco - Without Polamalu, the Steeler D is missing something, but is still formidable.
Jay Cutler - The only way Culter does well is in garbage time when they are behind
David Garrard - Garrard is never a starter in my mind.
Running Backs
Start 'Em
Joseph Addai - Addai continues to have a steady fantasy season, scoring TDs and yardage just enough to keep him on your starting team, and should again
LeSean McCoy - McCoy is a good fill in for Westbrook, I would start him the rest of the year
Bernard Scott - Benson should be on the bench again so Scott should start again Cleveland
Sit 'Em
Jamaal Charles - The Chargers have been playing better and should be tough on the entire KC offense
Jamal Lewis - Yup sit him.
Wide Receivers
Start 'Em
Santono Holmes - Again, Hines Ward is the start here, Holmes has been a big disappointment this season
Terrell Owens - I would start him too.
Nate Burleson - I am not a Burleson fan, not sure I would start him, perhaps a passable game, but not an outstanding
one.
Michael Crabtree - If San Fran goes to the spread offense more, Crabtree will excel
Sit 'Em
Santana Moss - Definately agree, sit him
Jerricho Cotchery - Until Sanchez starts to play a bit steadier, I wouldn't count on any Jet receivers
Donnie Avery - I might start him in this match up
Tight Ends
Start 'Em
Greg Olsen - The Vikings give up points to TEs, but that is what they said last week for John Carlson and he got blanked
Kellen Winslow - Winslow is up and down, spectacular and horrible... could this be a spectacular week?
Visanthe Shiancoe - Favre seems comfortable with Shiancoe, but take away three big scoring weeks and Shiancoe is a mediocre TE... he might do ok this week, but I would temper expectations
Sit 'Em
Brent Celek - Celek is a must start each week
Jeremy Shockey - This is a good sit week for Shockey
