Fantasy Football Week 6 Start ‘Em Or Sit ‘Em: No Love For Brandon Marshall This Week

Earlier today, we let the computer have it’s turn at creating a list of starts and sits for Week 6 of fantasy football. Now, we turn to the survey of Internet gurus for their take on the process. SB Nation partner playthisguy.com has analyzed the ratings and rantings of 18 sources, and complied a Top 10 start list and a Top 10 sit list.

Start

The analysts like Ryan Torain in Washington, part of the on-going jockeying for position in the Redskins crowded backfield. It's a toss-up between Torain and Tim Hightower for the carries, but the gurus say go with Torain. Victor Cruz has had a couple of great weeks, and the prediction is that will continue in Week Six versus Buffalo. And apparently anybody playing the Colts, including Cedric Benson, AJ Green and the Cincinnati defense, all qualify for starts.

Sit

With the Dolphins trotting out a new quarterback and going against the Jets defense, Brandon Marshall heads the list of guys to sit. Matt Schaub without Andre Johnson, against Baltimore, is also a downgrade. BenJarvus Green-Ellis has been hot lately but the experts don't like his chances against the Cowboys league-leading run defense.

Week 6 Start

1. Ryan Torain (RB) WAS vs. PHI
2. Eli Manning (QB) NYG vs. BUF
3. Cedric Benson (RB) CIN vs. IND
4. AJ Green (WR) CIN vs. IND

6. Cincinnati D/ST CIN vs. IND
7. Victor Cruz (WR) NYG vs. BUF
