TimersSports: Fantasy Football Starts/Sits (WK15)

Welcome to TimersSports

***Scoring Format: CBS Scoring

Quarterbacks-

Starts:

Eli Manning- Manning who been inconsistent this season have been given a fantastic matchup vs Washington. The Redskins have allowed the most fantasy football points per game (24.8) vs Quarterbacks. Maybe last time vs Washington on TNF? I sure do.

Tony Romo- Romo bounced back nicely in week 14 (as I said he would) , and now Romo have another solid matchup. I know many people will be hesitant to have confidents in Romo again vs Philly. Remember Romo been much better on the road then at home. Matter of fact , Dallas haven't lost all year on the road. The Eagles have allowed the 4th most fantasy points per game (23.6) vs Quarterbacks. Over the past 5 weeks , Romo have scored the 11th most fantasy points per game (22.6) vs QBs. Over the past 3 weeks , Romo also scored the 11th most fantasy points per game (20.9) over the previous 3 weeks.

Jay Cutler- Cutler been inconsistent this season , but his matchup vs New Orleans is a fantastic matchup. The Saints have allowed the 5th most fantasy points per game (22.9) vs Quarterbacks. I think Cutler will have a nice stat line vs an terrible pass defense. Not like New Orleans have a stout overall defense. I mean Cam Newton had a field day in week 14.

Sits:

Colin Kaepernick- CK7 is like a monster movie. Its ugly , but how ugly its get all a part of the fun. The past two weeks may have hit his lowest in San Fran. Highly doubt he does anything vs Seahawks. Seattle have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game (14.5) vs Quarterbacks. Over last 3 weeks , Colin ranked 30th of 42 Quarterbacks with 9.9/average fantasy points per game. Only Geno Smith and Brian Hoyer have scored less fantasy points , who played in week 12,13 and 14.

Drew Stanton- The Rams don't really have a well-know reputation for a dominated pass defense. In 2014 , they have allowed the 8th fewest fantasy points per game (17.8) vs Quarterbacks. Stanton been pretty average overall. I would sit him , as over past 3 weeks Rams allowed only 7.7 points per game. Which is 2nd fewest fantasy points per game in that span.

Ryan Tannehill- Loads of respect for Tannehill , but New England defense can cause problems for Quarterbacks. Rivers sure found out the hard way in week 14. Pats have allowed the 13th fewest fantasy points per game (19.0) vs Quarterbacks. Tannehill over past three weeks have ironically averaged 19.0 fantasy points per game.

Running backs-

Starts:

Justin Forsett- Forsett continues to have an awesome season. The Jacksonville defense been far from impressive against the run. As they have allowed the 6th fantasy points per game (21.8) vs Running backs. They've allowed the 9th most fantasy points (23.7) vs Running backs over the past 3 weeks. Forsett have scored the 5th most fantasy points per game (19.0) since week 12 vs Running backs.

Joique Bell- Bell been pretty good all season long. Since week 12 , Bell have scored the 7th most fantasy points per game. The Vikings been inconsistent against the run as they have allowed the 9th most fantasy points per game (20.6) vs Running backs. While surrendering the 13th most fantasy points per game (18.1) vs Running backs. Bell get added value with catching passes out of the backfield from time to time.

LeGarrette Blount- I like Blount this week vs Miami. Over the past 3 weeks , he have averaged 11.1/ fantasy points per game. In that span he have averaged 67.3/yards per game. Dolphins have allowed the 15th most fantasy points per game (18.5) vs Running backs. While allowing the 6th most per game over previous 3 games (24.2) vs Running backs.

Sits:

Frank Gore- Gore have been decent this season as he ranked among the top 25 scorers on the season. But he only have averaged 7.8 fantasy per game on the season. While ranking 47th among backs in total points (11.5) over past 3 games. His average fantasy points in that span? Dreadful 3.8 fantasy points per game. In which he have only tallied 127 yards on 35 carries. Seattle have allowed the fewest fantasy points to running backs this season.

Lamar Miller- Miller have been at best average over past 5 weeks. Where he only have scored 1 TD and have 56 yards per game. The Patriots been very unkind to running back in the recent weeks. Over previous 5 weeks (4 games) , New England have allowed the fewest fantasy points (9.5) vs running backs. Allowing the 5th fewest fantasy points per game (11.6) vs running backs in past 3. Since week 10 , New England have allowed 0 rushing Touchdowns.

Denard Robinson- Robinson started off as a hot item when first throw into the starting role midseason. In the recent weeks , DRob have been very unproductive while failing to top 100 yards in his last 3 games combined. Ravens been very good vs the run all season. They have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game (12.1) vs running backs.

Wide Receivers-

Starts:

Sammy Watkins- Watkins have had a great rookie season. The Packers should only help his cause. The Packers have allowed 4th most fantasy points per game (26.1) vs Wide Outs. No other defense have allowed more then 18 Touchdowns. Packers defense have allowed 20 on the season vs Wide Outs.

Alshon Jeffery- Back in week 12 (View week 12 article) I felt like Jeffery could be a useful option in upcoming weeks. Over past 3 weeks , Jeffery have scored the 8th most fantasy points per game. While scoring 4 Touchdowns and receiving 188 yards. Marshall is done for year which gives Jeffery even more opportunities. Saints have allowed the 7th most fantasy points per game (25.1) vs Wide Outs this season.

Odell Beckham Jr- OBJr keeps on impressing me. Not the catches he makes , but how effective and consistent productive he's is. Over his past 5 games , OBJr have caught 41 passes (8.2/per game) for 567 yards and 3 Touchdowns. Only Julio Jones (694) have more yards. Washington loves giving up fantasy points to Wide Outs. As they have allowed the 9th most fantasy points per game (24.7) vs Wide Outs this season.

Sits:

Michael Crabtree- Crabtree been terrible in recent weeks. Big reason is his QB poor performances. Seattle will not do him any favors. Seattle have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game (14.5) vs Wide Outs this season. For those wondering , Crabtree have scored 12.4 fantasy points combined in his past 3 games. Which averages out to 4.1 fantasy points per game. In that span , he have 17 catches for 124 yards. Ranked 72nd in total fantasy points of all Wide Outs.

Larry Fitzgerald- Larry Fitz probably one of my favorite players of all time. But even I abandoned ship on the Larry Fitz SS. That ship was a lose cause when Carson Palmer went down. Unlike the Philly system , not any old QB can be successful. Plus it Drew Stanton , you know the ex-backup Detroit Lion. Not exactly a winning formula. Rams have allowed the 6th fewest fantasy points over past 3 weeks.

Any Seahawks Wide Receiver- Lets be honest , Seattle have solid offense. But trying to figure out the WR core required an Sherlock Holmes. Not even Baldwin (their top wideout) a lock to score an TD. San Fran have allowed the 6th fewest fantasy points per game (19.0) vs Wide Outs. I take my chances with a more upsided option.

Tight Ends -

Starts:

Larry Donnell- Donnell may be extremely inconsistent. But last time Donnell faced Washington , he scored 3 Touchdowns. I say he doesn't repeat , but I don't see how he doesn't score least 1 In the rematch. Washington have allowed the 2nd most fantasy points per game (10.7) vs Tight Ends this season.

Delanie Walker- Not very productive last few weeks, but the Jets are here to help our buddy Walker out. The Jets have allowed the 5th most fantasy points per game (10.3) vs Tight Ends this season. Jets have allowed 12 Touchdowns to Tight ends in 2014. Most in the league.

Sits:

Heath Miller- Miller been inconsistent all season long. In recent weeks , he seems to be back on track after a slow start. Week 15 probably must-avoid against Atlanta who have allowed the 3rd fewest fantasy points per game (5.2) vs Tight Ends. While only allowing 2 Touchdowns all season long. Eagles are the only team to surrender less in 2014.

Jermaine Gresham- Gresham scored his third Touchdown of 2014 vs Pittsburgh. Unfortunately that only his second game he scored a Touchdown this season. Cleveland have allowed the 10th fewest fantasy points per game (5.9) vs Tight Ends. There better options out there to use.
