Fantasy Start’em Sit’em
Right on:![]()
- Start Donovan McNabb- great day with 3 TD’s and a ton of yards
- Start Jeremy Maclin- McNabb spread the ball around to everyone and Maclin made a nice touchdown grab where he just went up and took it. McNabb has a bad habit of not trusting his receivers, a big time snag will build trust as a go-to guy.
- Start Ray Rice- Played excellent against a very stingy defense getting 84 rushing yards and a touchdown along with another 24 rec. yards through the air.
- Start Kevin Boss- Even though the Eagles shut down the Giants offense Boss was able to get 70 yards and touchdown
- Bench Eli Manning- When your first pass is an interception you know it’s going to be a long day.
- Bench Anquan Boldin- Injuries and a surprise turnout by the Panthers wrecked Boldin’s numbers. Called it.
- Start Miles Austin- 61 yards and a touchdown, not the monster numbers we’re used to, but Austin is proving to be a real fantasy option and not the fluke some have dubbed him.
Whoops:![]()
- Start Steve Slaton- We meant to say Ryan Moats; poor Slaton, after seeing what could have been fantasy owners are left angry and guessing for next week.
- Start Chris “Beanie” Wells- Cardinals couldn’t do much this weekend
- Start David Garrard- what a bum, Garrard had a great match-up but couldn’t get it done
- Start Mike Sims-Walker- yikes terrible day

- Start Todd Heap- does blocking count?
On the Fence
- Start Kevin Smith- Injuries cut his day short, but he did still have nearly 90 total yards
