Week Three Start/Sit : Westbrook, Welker, Barber

For those who can't sit at their PC until the active rosters are submitted, here are start/sit decisions for some of the most worrisome players.

Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook: Sit. The weather is going to be a factor. On a wet field, Westbrook isn't worth the risk. I am glad I never had the chance to draft him in the 2nd round.

Dallas Cowboys RB Marion Barber III: Sit. With two excellent RBs available to step in, I wouldn't risk an ineffective Monday night effort even if MBIII was active.

Denver Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno: Sit. He is still not 100%. Until the Bye Weeks begin, you should still have a 60-80 eYd RB to start who isn't hurt.

New England Patriots WR Wes Welker: Start if. Rainy weather in New England says to start Welker if he is active. The knee must be OK to risky him on the wet field.

New Orleans Saints RB Pierre Thomas: Sit. See my start/sit post from this AM.

Fantasy Football: My Start/Sit Decisions

12-team PPR
WR Santana Moss over RB Ahmad Bradshaw at Flex
Why: Hunch Moss will get a long TD against the Rams pass defense.

QB Matt Schaub over Donovan McNabb
Why: Even if McNabb was active, I am not risking a 1st drive hit and losing McNabb for rest of game.

12-team PPR
WR Brandon Marshall over RB Ahmad Bradshaw at Flex
Why: Hunch that Marshall breaks. Damn tantalizing skills!

QB Matt Schaub over Jason Campbell
Why: Campbell has the better match-up, but Schaub has the better skills. Campbell and big passing yardage? Unheard of!

12-team non-PPR
RB Ahmad Bradshaw over RB Knowshon Moreno or RB Mike Bell
Why: Despite claiming 100% health, Moreno hasn't earned #1 status and Broncos unpredictable right now. Mike Bell is going against a quality defnese on the road and won't have the luxury of a large lead to run with.

Fantasy Football: Start/Sit Knowshon Moreno

In a PPR league, do you start the safe 10 points of New York Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw or take a chance on Denver Broncos' RB Knowshon Moreno against a Cleveland Browns rush defense that embarassed at home against the Minnesota Vikings?

I asked the Fantasy Freaks via Twitter (see updates on sidebar). Here is there answer:

" I actually think Buckhalter might have more of that upside."

That settled it. Ahmad Bradshaw versus the risk Moreno doesn't take over the #1 duties in the first week he claims to be 100%

Fantasy Football: Start/Sit Week One

Denver Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno or his teamate Peyton Hillis or New York Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw.

The perils of punting RBs.
