Start ‘Em Quarterbacks

Russell Wilson (NC State) vs. Gardner Webb

Wilson rebounded from an awful opener with 4 TD passes last week.  We expect another nice effort against an inferior opponent.

Ryan Lindley (SD State) vs. Idaho

Lindley is nice spot starter this week and should post his third straight 250+ yard, 2-TD performance.

Jerrod Johnson (Texas A&M) vs. Utah State

We are banking on the Aggies coming out on fire in this one.  Look for JJ to post another big statline.

Sit ‘Em Quarterbacks

G.J. Kinne (Tulsa) vs. Oklahoma

This is the closest the Texas transfer will come to the Red Rivarly Game.  We expect a rough go of it this week.

Zac Lee (Nebraska)

Blacksburg is a tough place for your first away start.  The smooth sailing Husker passing game from weeks 1 and 2 will come to an abrupt end here.

Omar Clayton (UNLV) vs. Hawaii

Clayton’s said to be starting in this one despite a sprained knee.  Even though his matchup is seemingly fantastic against the Rainbow Warriors, we’d advise you leave him on your bench.  The Rebels feel comfortable plugging in backup Mike Clausen and Clayton might have a quick hook at the first sign of gimpiness.

Start ‘Em Running Backs

Keith Toston (Oklahoma State) vs. Rice

Toston was the hot waiver wire pickup of the week, and we expect him to live up to the hype this week against an overmatched Rice defense.

Brandon Minor (Michigan) vs. Eastern Michigan

RichRod unleashed a healthier-than-expected Minor on Notre Dame last week and he came up with a big performance.  We expect him to run all over EMU.

Christine Michael (Texas A&M) vs. Utah State

We’re taking a bit of a risk here putting two Aggies in the Start ‘Em space as TAMU has certainly thrown in some clunkers against lesser opponents in recent years.  But we have a hunch that this could be Michael’s breakout game.

Moise Plancher (USF) vs. Charleston Southern

Mo has 190 rushing yards and 4 TDs thus far.  Expect another 100-2 game this week against yet another pushover defense.

Sit ‘Em Running Backs

Roy Helu (Nebraska) vs. Virginia Tech

Even though Marc Ingram ran all over the Hokies, we think the Huskers will struggle to do the same.  Unless you have no other options, we recommend you give Helu a rest this week.

Nic Grigsby (Arizona) vs. Iowa

Grigsby has been on fire in the early going, but the Hawkeyes will provide a stiff road test.

Harvey Unga (BYU) vs. Florida State

Unga makes our list for the second consecutive week.  We recommend benching Unga until he proves he can play a complete, productive game.

Start ‘Em Wide Receivers

Austin Pettis (Boise State) vs. Fresno State

Wisconsin passed for 225 yards against Fresno State last week.  And the Badgers aren’t exactly known for throwing the rock.  Expect Boise to have success through the air, with Pettis catching his share of balls.

Vincent Brown (San Diego State) vs. Idaho

We nailed Brown last week in this space, and we’re riding him again.  VB has 281 receiving yards after two games.

Randall Cobb (Kentucky) vs. Louisville

Cobb has fallen off the statsheet leaders because UK has only played one game.  In that game, however, Cobb had 8 touches for over 100 yards and a couple scores.  Look for more of the same against a bad Cardinal defense.

Sit ‘Em Wide Receivers

Damaris Johnson (Tulsa) vs. Oklahoma

If there is one week to sit the speedy Tulsa wideout, this is the one.  The Sooners will look to take away TU’s biggest offensive threat.

Eric Page (Toledo) vs. Ohio State

Page has been quite a freshman sensation thus far, but this matchup isn’t anything to mess around with.

Detron Lewis (Texas Tech) vs. Texas

This should be a high-scoring affair, but Lewis is coming off a mysterious injury and we just don’t know his status at this time.  He’s not worth the risk.

Start ‘Em Tight End

Garrett Graham (Wisconsin) vs. Wofford

Graham has been quietly consistent in his first two games.  Look for him to get into the endzone in this laugher.

Sit ‘Em Tight End

Tony Moeaki (Iowa) vs. Arizona

Just when we thought he was healthy…..he isn’t.  He could play this weekend, but he is not worth the aggravation.
