Week 6 Fantasy Football Matchups / Start'em Sit'em

Cleveland Browns Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio

After Trent Green suffered a severe concussion last week that may end his career, the Dolphins will turn to Cleo Lemon as they look for their first win when they visit the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. For the first time in a while, several members of the Browns are solid fantasy plays. Edwards and Winslow have both put up consistent numbers at their respective positions, and even Anderson has been worth starting. For the Dolphins, the only worthwhile starter is Brown, though you might get lucky starting Lemon or Chambers. Avoid the defenses in this one. The Browns will be a rare home favorite when Miami visits this weekend. Bodoglife.com Sportsbook currently have the Browns listed as 4�-point favorites versus the Dolphins, while the the over/under is sitting at 45.

Start'em: Brown, Anderson, Wright, Edwards, Winslow

Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin

The Packers, who had an eight-game winning streak snapped, will try to rebound against Washington (3-1), which rolled to a 34-3 home win over Detroit last Sunday and is second to unbeaten Dallas in the NFC East. Favre is a player's dream with his yardage and TD totals, though interceptions can cost owners. Jennings and Driver are solid, I'd bench Morency and Wynn this week though. For the Skins, Campbell is coming on, Portis is a must start, Randel El is a gamtime decision, but Santana Moss should play, and put up good numbers for you. I'd sit Cooley this week unless you don't have better options. Both D's will allow a couple TD's in this one. Everyone wanting the Packers to falter got their wish Sunday. Everyone wanting the Redskins to prove they are a legit force in the NFC got their wish too. The Pack opened as three-point home faves in Week 6. Bodoglife.com Sportsbook currently have the Packers listed as 3-point favorites versus the Redskins, while the the over/under is sitting at 40�.

Start'em: Campbell, Portis, Moss, Favre, Driver, Jennings, Packers DST

Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri

The Bengals hope to avoid their first four-game losing streak in almost five years on Sunday when they visit the Kansas City Chiefs - one of the league's worst offensive teams. Palmer and his two main receivers have won many a game for fantasy managers thus far so start em all. You have to start Gonzo for the Chiefs and I guess LJ (if you're desperate), but for the rest...sit em. Cincy hit the bye week in a funk, while the Chiefs are playing better, especially on defense. The Bengals must win on the road and their defense must stop KC if they have any hope of rallying for the playoffs. Bodoglife.com Sportsbook currently have the Bengals listed as 3-point favorites versus the Chiefs, while the the over/under is sitting at 43.

Start'em: Palmer, Johnson, Housh, Rudi, LJ, Bowe, Gonzo

Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey

As bad as Giants Stadium was to the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets in their most recent games, one of them will leave it Sunday feeling much worse. A pair of playoff teams from last season off to very disappointing starts meet at the Meadowlands when the Eagles face the Jets. Westbrook is the only offensive name that screams out to be played for either team, In terms of defense, the Eagles are a strong play every week, and I only really like Coles for the Jets. Philly lost to the Giants in Week 4. The Jets lost to the Giants in Week 5. The 1-3 Eagles are favored over the 1-4 Jets when two slumping teams in green face off in Week 6. Bodoglife.com Sportsbook currently have the Eagles listed as 3�-point favorites versus the Jets, while the the over/under is sitting at 42�.

Start'em: McNabb, Westbrook, Eagles DST, Coles

Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Florida

The Titans go for their fourth win in five games while the Buccaneers look to overcome their injury woes and remain on top of the NFC South when the teams meet in Tampa, Fla. on Sunday. There aren't a lot of intriguing fantasy options on the offensive side in this game for either team. White is probably the Titans' most attractive play on offense, as he often receives the bulk of the goal-line work, the Bucs' safest fantasy play on Sunday might be kicker Matt Bryant, Graham figures to receive plenty of touches on Sunday and is worth using as a No. 2 back. Tennessee continues to be a cover machine (12-2 ATS past 14) while Tampa Bay comes off a humbling loss against Indy. The Titans have covered three in a row vs. the Bucs, who opened as home chalk to a team coming off a bye week. Bodoglife.com Sportsbook currently have the Buccaneers listed as 3-point favorites versus the Titans, while the the over/under is sitting at 37�.

Start'em: Titans DST, Buccaneers DST

Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, Jacksonville, Florida

The Jaguars look to win four straight games for the first time in two years when they host the upstart Texans on Sunday. Garrard has only four touchdown passes on the year and is averaging just 212 passing yards per game, he'll do his average this week as well. Jones-Drew and Taylor are both risky starts I don't care who you're playing. For Houston Schaub has been decent and you could do worse, with A. Johnson out again you might find yourself doing ok with Andre Davis instead. Start the Jaguars D as always. Houston seldom wins on the road (3-15 SU past 18) and Jacksonville seldom loses at home (9-3 SU past 12). Will history repeat itself this weekend when the Texans visit the Jags or is the UNDER (6-1 past 7 meetings) the more likely outcome here? Bodoglife.com Sportsbook currently have the Jaguars listed as 7-point favorites versus the Texans, while the the over/under is sitting at 37.

Start'em: Daniels, Jones-Drew, Jaguars DST

University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, Arizona

The Cardinals and Panthers will both be trying to overcome injuries behind center as they meet Sunday in Glendale, Ariz. Warner should continue to put up good numbers, Boldin is a gametime decision so plan accordingly, Fitzgerald is a no-doubt starter right now, and ames has been a quality second-tier fantasy back. On the Carolina side, Smith is still a top-flight fantasy wideout no matter who will be throwing him the football, Foster the fumble-prone back remains a solid option as a No. 2 runner, Carr hasn't delivered enough points in his two starts to draw serious consideration. Kurt Warner is in and Jake Delhomme is definitely out. Arizona looks to win another close game, while Carolina hopes David Carr and a stingy defense can move the Panthers to 3-0 SU and ATS on the road for the season. Bodoglife.com Sportsbook currently have the Cardinals listed as 4�-point favorites versus the Panthers, while the the over/under is sitting at 40�.

Start'em: Smith, Warner, James, Fitzgerald

Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego, California

After losing four games in this series as coach of the Raiders, Turner is now leading the Chargers as they look to extend a seven-game winning streak over their AFC West rivals on Sunday. This could be the week for Tomlinson owners as an Oakland defense that has been rather submissive against the run creates a favorable matchup. Gates is clearly a must-play. Use Rivers only as a bye-week replacement. Oakland's crowded backfield situation make any Raider running back a risky play, Curry a nice sleeper play as a second receiver. Culpepper has to show me more before I can depend on him. The Chargers opened as 10.5-point chalk after dominating Denver, while the Raiders hope Daunte Culpepper can reprise his superb Week 4 outing. Bodoglife.com Sportsbook currently have the Chargers listed as 10-point favorites versus the Raiders, while the the over/under is sitting at 44.

Start'em: Rivers, LT, Jackson, Gates, Chargers DST

Texas Stadium, Irving, Texas

The New England Patriots look to match the best start in franchise history Sunday when they face the Dallas Cowboys - one of the NFL's two other unbeaten teams - at Texas Stadium. For New England, Brady, Moss, Watson, and kicker Stephen Gostkowski are all definite starters, while owners of Dallas players Romo, Barber, Owens, Witten, and kicker Nick Folk will be giving those team members the nod. Two of the remaining three unbeaten teams lock up in Dallas Sunday when the untested Patriots visit the Cowboys. Dallas stole a Monday Night win against Buffalo on two late scores, while the Pats won a glorified practice against Cleveland. Bodoglife.com Sportsbook currently have the Patriots listed as 6�-point favorites versus the Cowboys, while the the over/under is sitting at 53.

Start'em: Brady, Moss, Watson, Romo, Barber, Owens, Witten

Qwest Field, Seattle, Washington

The Saints will be trying for their first victory Sunday night when they face a Seahawks squad that suffered its first regular season shutout in seven years last week. Fantasy owners who have been patient with Brees this year might finally get something out of the quarterback on Sunday, Hopefully, that means good numbers out of Colston. Seattle, meanwhile, is in trouble running the ball. There are worse options out there than Hasselbeck, while Engram and Burleson have been hot waiver pickups due to the injuries to Hackett and now Branch. Seattle, coming off a shutout loss at Pittsburgh, looks to march the Saints back to the Bayou with an 0-5 record this week. New Orleans continues to struggle and catches an embarrassed Seattle team at home, where they aim to make amends and soar again. Bodoglife.com Sportsbook currently have the Seahawks listed as 7-point favorites versus the Saints, while the the over/under is sitting at 43.

Start'em: Bush, Hasselbeck, Alexander, Burleson, Engram, Seahawks DST

Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia

The Giants look to win their fourth straight game and continue their success in Atlanta when they meet the injury-plagued Falcons on Monday night. The return of Jacobs makes him worth starting, as does the duo of Manning and Burress who you just can't bench. Harrington is a quality play in a league that values completions, Crumpler's production is down from past years, but he remains a regular target. The Giants are on a roll and catch a break with lowly Atlanta on Monday Night. New York has won five straight trips to the Georgia Dome and opened as small road favorites against the 1-4 Falcons. Bodoglife.com Sportsbook currently have the Giants listed as 3�-point favorites versus the Falcons, while the the over/under is sitting at 43�.

Start'em: Manning, Jacobs, Burress, Shockey, Giants DST
