Rockin’ Fantasy Football Start’em Sit’em Sleepers for Week #2

By: FantasyFootballGoat.com

Week two is upon us, so lets get right to it. Here are the players you probably won’t see on everyone else’s Start’em Sit’em sheet.

Start’em if you got’em

Mercedes Lewis - Everybody is talking about Broussard but what about the guy who was thrown to twice in the end zone last week. If you need a tight end you could do a lot worse than this guy this week. I’m starting him in two of my leagues. He will get at least fifty and a TD, bank on it.

** Final Stats: 2 receptions, 39 yards.
Final thoughts: He had one other target. Was involved early and forgotten in the second half.

Chris Chambers - I realize that were not talking Eli to Plaxico here but as bad as the Cowboys looked defending the pass last week, is this really that big of a stretch? Miami was able to get the ball down field a few times last week against a pretty decent secondary. I say give him a shot this week.

** Final Stats: 9 receptions, 109 yards.
Final thoughts: Solid outing without a touchdown. The Dallas defense gets four picks but show us once again that they are easy to move the ball on.

Sit’em if you got’em

Eli Manning - He looked great last week but there are to reasons I would be leery of putting him in my line up if he plays this week. First, he has the bad shoulder. You don’t know foresure whether or not he will last the whole game. Second, he has a very tough matchup this week. The Packers were able to shut down the Eagles who by the way are pretty good on offense.

** Final Stats: 16 of 29, 211 yards 1 TD, 1 Interception
Final thoughts: He looked pretty good but he did have some dropped balls. Overall, the Packer defense did bend but didn’t break .

Ron Curry - I am drinking the Ron Curry Kool Aid myself. I think he will have a decent season but after what Champ and the boys did to a Mr. Lee Evans last week (2 catches, 5 yards) I think I will set the cup down for a week.

** Final Stats: 2 receptions, 12 yards. 0 for 1 passing. 2 point conversion.
Final thoughts: As expected, not much of anything. It is good to see he’s being used in other role on offense. Next up, the Cleveland Browns. He’ll be in my lineup again for that one.
