Start ‘Em Quarterbacks

Diondre Borel (Utah State) vs. Southern Utah

Borel has shown flashes of brilliance this year, and this matchup makes him very tasty starting option.

Dwight Dasher (Middle Tennessee) vs. North Texas

Dasher has played inspired football in his first couple games, and helped MTSU upset Maryland last week.  He should produce a nice statline against a suspect UNT defense.

Ricky Dobbs (Navy) vs. Western Kentucky

Navy QBs are often inconsistent due to the rushing nature of their stat production.  However, we think Dobbs is going to be on the “good side” of the inconsistency scale this week and have a big game.

Sit ‘Em Quarterbacks

Jeremiah Masoli (Oregon) vs. Cal

Masoli has been a bust so far this year, and now - against a good Cal defense - is not the time to depend on him for points.

Russell Wilson (NC State) vs. Pittsburgh

Wilson has look good against inferior competition, and bad against quality opponents.  Pitt is a quality opponent.

Austin Davis (Southern Miss) vs. Kansas

With DeAndre Brown still a bit of a mystery, this could be a tough trip to Lawrence for Davis.  Better days are ahead, however, as the schedule is chock full o’ C-USA opponents from here on out.

Start ‘Em Running Backs

Darius Marshall (Marshall) vs. Memphis

This kid has rushed for nearly 8 yards a carry thus far on the young season.  The Thundering Herd will likely give him the rock early and often in this one.

Daniel Thomas (Kansas State) vs. Tennessee Tech

Thomas has become the workhorse back for KSU.  He should roll for 100+ and multiple scores against this lowly opponent.

Robert Turbin (Utah State) vs. Southern Utah

Like his QB counterpart (Borel), we think Turbin puts up a nice statline in this favorable matchup.

Sit ‘Em Running Backs

Michael Smith (Arkansas) vs. Alabama

Arkansas is using a RBBC approach, rendering Smith nearly useless.  Whatever running game the Hogs bring in this one will likely be shut down by a ferocious Bama defense.

Jonathan Dwyer (Georgia Tech) vs. UNC

Dwyer isn’t 100% and the matchup against a good Tar Heels defense is not favorable. 

Charles Scott (LSU) vs. Mississippi State

This is a great match up on paper.  The problem is that Scott has vanished completely from the fantasy radar.  Is this the week he climbs out of this slump?  We’re not willing to risk it and find out.

Start ‘Em Wide Receivers

Kevin Jurovich (San Jose State) vs. Cal Poly

Juro is one of our favorite under the radar picks of the week.  He should be able to post a nice day against this lesser opponent.

Eric Page (Toledo) vs. FIU

The FIU defense is bad.  The Toledo passing game is good.  Page should rip off a few big-gainers and a TD.

Johnny Williams (Duke) vs. NC Central

If you’re in a BCS-only league looking for a WR spot starter, you could do a lot worse than Johnny this week.

Sit ‘Em Wide Receivers

Dez Bryant (Oklahoma State) vs. Grambling State

What, you ask?  Bench your 1st round pick against Grambling?  Well, assuming you have a capable backup on your roster, this might be a smart move this week as Dez is banged up.  Also Oklahoma State has a bye next week.  There are rumblings that Dez might see very limited action as they look to rest him for the B12 slate.
UPDATE - ESPN is reporting that Dez will not play in this game.

Randall Cobb (Kentucky) vs Florida

This isn’t a match up you want to mess with.  We advise you look elsewhere.

Regis Benn (Ilinois) vs. Ohio State

By all accounts, Benn is rested, healthy and ready to roll this weekend.  We just don’t like the match up. 

Start ‘Em Tight End

Jamie McCoy (Texas A&M) vs. UAB

With Jeff Fuller out, perhaps McCoy gets a few more looks.  The UAB defense is a sieve.  Look for McCoy to get in the endzone this week.

Sit ‘Em Tight End

Aaron Hernandez (Florida) vs. Kentucky

Hernandez has been dealing with the injury bug, and may be limited.  Starting him is a risky move.
