Start em' Sit em' Week 1

QB

Start em' :  Ben Roethlisberger -- He plays a very beatable defense in the Tennessee Titans and he threw for 363 yards against them last season.  The Steelers are also short on running backs due to injuries so he should pass more than usual.

Sit em' : Cam Newton -- You selected him as your every week starter but I would sit him for the likes of Vick, RG3, or Luck this week who were selected in much later rounds.  He faces the Seahawk defense who alowd the second least points to quarterbacks last season and they have been game planning for option QBs all offseason because of fear of Kaepernick.

RB

Start em' : Ben Tate -- The Texans face possibly the worst team in the league in San Diego and Arian Foster is banged up so expect Tate to get 20 carries and 90 yards with a TD.

Sit em' :  Eddie Lacy -- There is a lot of hype around this rookie and I like him this season but not this week.  The Packers take on the 49er's run defense that allowed the second least rushing TDs and rushing yards last season.

WR

Start em' : Desean Jackson -- He was miserable against the 3rd worst pass defense in the league last year in the Redskins with 2 catches for 5 yards combined, but I expect a huge game here.  This game will be a shootout and Jackson is Vick's big deep threat with Maclin out.

Sit em' : Kenny Britt -- You really should sit him as he plays last years best pass D in Pitt and they have a healthy Polomalu and Ike Taylor will be matched up on him.  Play a Miles Austin, Chris Givens or Anquan Boldin over him this week.

TE

Start em' : Brandon Myers -- I think we see a shootout in Dallas this weekend and Myers could grab a touchdown or two.

Sit em' : Jordan Cameron -- He has been seen as a good fantasy play after his 2 TD preseason game but he has a groin injury he is facing and the Dolphins gave up only 3 TDs to TEs all of last season.

D/ST

Start em' : Buccanears -- The Bucs are facing the Jets who have no offensive weapns besides Holmes who is recovering from injury and a rookie quarterback who does not look ready to start.  Geno Smith threw three picks and stepped out of the end zone in his last game.

Sit em' : Packers --  They face a 49er's team that scorched them in the playoffs and the Niner's are one of the top teams in the league who could dominate this game possibly.
