We’ll be adding other Start/Sits to this story, so keep checking back.
In Week 1, Dance with the Girl You Brought
As we approach the first full slate of NFL action, fantasy owners are looking at their rosters with anticipation and wonderment, surely saying to themselves, “I have assembled you together to create the greatest fantasy team to ever play a pretend game.”
We have match-ups to break down, offseasons to interpret, and expectations to spell out. But often at this time every year, fantasy owners get too hung up on analyzing the landscape of the league as it pertains to their lineup. That is why my first Start/Sit column begins with this very basic, obvious piece of advice:

The first game is in the books, but we have 15 more contests this weekend that should have infinitely more fantasy impact than last night’s low scoring game. Week one is always the hardest to predict because we had preseason surprises from guys who probably won’t actually play this week, and we didn’t get to see much of the guys who will be fantasy staples each week. I’ll try to avoid the obvious top-tier guys. We all know you play guys like Tom Brady and Adrian Peterson, regardless of match up.
Quarterbacks:
Matt Hasselbeck, QB SEA ~ Playing this week against a weak St. Louis defense you can almost pencil in a 2-3 TD performance and 300+ yards passing.
Shaun Hill, SFO - The Cards rank 31st against the pass. Nuff said.
Joe Flacco, BAL - Yes, I called his number. The Ravens are playing the lowly Chiefs this weekend and the team is opening up Flacco’s play book. With the running game doing most of the work, look for Flacco to get some nice open shots, and a lot of yardage. His primary target will be Todd Heap, who is regaining some of his old luster and is playing against a team who was 27th in points allowed to TE’s last year.
Carson Palmer, CIN - Play him while he’s healthy, and facing a weak defense.
Mark Sanchez, NYJ - I like this kid a lot, and so does my colleague Mike Sholty.
