BARGAIN Fantasy Football Start Em, Sit Em and Sleepers Week 8

Won’t be long now and the fantasy playoff will be here and there is no room for error. SOOO, lets make sure you have quality contributors to put in your line-up and make sure you keep the dead weight out of it. Check this list!

Start em if you got em…

Arizona D - These dudes are on a tear - 7 int’s, 8 forced fumbles and 16 sacks this year already - and guess who’s comin to town - Jake “the Turnover Machine” Delhomme. I don’t think it takes much more convincing than that.  Oh, and I bet you can find them on your waiver wire. Look for 4 sacks, less than 14 points, 3 picks and a TD.

Lee Evans WR (BUF) - Not sure what it is but something about Lee gives me the warm fuzzies with Houston coming to town. Those fuzzies feel something like 6 for 100 and a TD.

Sit em if you got em…

Steve Smith WR (CAR) - I hope you traded him cuz it is not looking good.

Matt Hasselbeck QB (SEA) - A few weeks ago against Arizona he was sacked five times and last Thanksgiving against Dallas (his opponent this week) he was sacked 7 times. I don’t know about you but I’d be nervous about whether or not he can even finish the game. 150 yards and maybe a touchdown.

Sleepers: Don’t be surprised if…

…Marc Bulger QB (STL) has a somewhat decent day. I’m not saying you should bet the farm on the guy but if you are in a pinch because of a bye, he might be an option for you. He is playing Detroit and the Rams have slowly - very slowly - been able to generate some offense lately. Look for him to put up around 225 and a few TD’s - one to Avery and one to Jackson.

…Justin Fargas RB (OAK) busts off a few decent runs against a semi-struggling Chargers run D that gave up some yardage on the ground in their last meeting (120+ and a TD). I watched him last week and the man was running with a mission - to bad they were getting spanked or who knows. Anyway, this is a rivalry game and the game be somewhat close which mean that the Raiders running game will stay relevant til at least the fourth quarter. I say 100 and a touchdown.
