Written by Daniel Eliesen on .

Boys and Girls, Children of all ages lets get ready for some football. The beginning of football also means the beginning of the billion dollar fantasy football industry. This segment plans on bringing letting you know weekly whether to start’ em or sit’ em, getting you ready for each week on your fantasy football schedule.

So lets get attem here are the Week 1 Start em’ or Sit em’.

Quarterbacks (Start em')

aaron-rodgers_ncAaron Rodgers - You kidding me this gunslinger is as sexy as a fantasy QB can get and should be in for a shoot out against the Saints.

Mike Vick - Running, passing, whatever the hell he is doing on the field you can be sure he will be scoring you major points

Drew Brees -Should be the other beneficiary of the opening night shoot out.

Tom Brady - Unfortunately he wont get extra points for his Bieber like hair. 

Philip Rivers - Get er' done!

Josh Freeman -Young stud QB has a great opening day match up.

Matt Schaub - No Peyton? No Problem.

Kyle Orton - At least he's not Tebow. Oak secondary without Nnamdi looks mighty juicy

Fantasy Sleepers: Colt McCoy, Kevin Kolb

Quarterbacks (Sit em’)  

big_benTony Romo -Rough week 1 match up playing the aggressive Jets

Big Ben -Pitt vs. Baltimore is hardcore true old school football, but also low scoring fantasy football

Joe Flacco- See above.

Kerry Collins- Hahahaaa

 

 

 

Running Backs (Start Em’)

Chris Johnson - He is fresh and poised to prove he is worth every penny from week 1

goreJamaal Charles - Buffalo’s run D just flat out sucks

LeSean McCoy - Look for Philly’s dream team to want to make a big impression early

Frank Gore - Gore’s biggest career games have come at the expense of the Seahawks defence.

Darren McFadden - Not 100% healthy but he never is, still expect big things from Dmac all year long.

Peyton Hillis- Why not?

Running Backs (Sit Em)

Ryan Mathews

Ray Rice - I wouldn’t sit him but I also wouldn’t expect typical top 10 RB numbers from him this week

Benjarvus Green Ellis - Brady looks those big TE in the redzone and Miami has a very solid run D

Steven Jackson - Similar situation to Rice

Mark Ingram - Might take some time to get the rookie acclimated into the offense

Fantasy Football Sleeper: Reggie Bush
 

Wide Receivers (Start em')

Andre Johnson - As long as he is healthy he should be the number 1 WR in fantasy this year

Larry Fitzgerald - Should be nice having an actual QB this year

Hakeem Nicks

Roddy White

loydMarques Colston - Lance Moore might be a game time decision which would up Colstons value

Calvin Johnson - His name is Megatron for a reason, hopefully he doesn’t get screwed by the ref week 1 again this year.

Brandon Lloyd - Oakland's secondary is very suspect this year

Vincent Jackson

DeSean Jackson

 

Fantasy Football Sleepers: Braylon Edwards (Crabtree might not play) Jordy Nelson, Julio Jones

Wide Receiver (Sit em’)

Miles Austin - Might get a heavy dose of Revis Island this week

Greg Jennings - Not expecting top 10 WR numbers due to emergence of Finley

Pierre Garcon - Peyton’s neck will cost a lot of people fantasy W’s

Sidney Rice - Buzz going around that Rice might not even play this week due to injury

Lee Evans - Been bothered by injuries all week long

Tight Ends (Start em’)

 finleyAntonio Gates - He is the best Tight End in football and in fantasy

 Jermichael Finley - A Rod will want to use his favourite toy right away

 Jason Witten - The Jets corners should be sticking to Dez and Austin leaving Witten with some room.

Vernon Davis - Should be the number 1 WR in San Fran even though he is a TE

Jimmy Graham

Fantasy Football Sleeper: Zach Miller, Evan Moore, Greg Olsen  

Tight Ends (Sit em’)

Dustin Keller

Dallas Clark - don’t expect as good numbers with Collins as you would with Peyton

Ben Watson
