Every week you face tough decisions in your lineup. Here are some suggestions for which players to sit and what players you can replace them with. Weekly fantasy football participants want the best value for their players, and this list will help guide you.

Quarterback: Jay Cutler takes on the Lions, who had him running for his life last meeting. While he played well (249 yards and a TD), success when running for your life isn’t consistent. Replace Cutler with Matt Cassell, who faces the Broncos. Denver gives up the second most points to opposing QB’s and doesn’t apply a ton of pressure.

Running Back: Cedric Benson seems to always produce just enough to justify starting him, but not this week against a Steelers defense that will bounce back off of last weeks loss to the Ravens. Instead, lean on Chris Ogbonnaya of Cleveland. He disappointed last week, but injuries have forced him to carry the load, and the Rams surrender the second most fantasy points to RB’s.

Wide Receiver: Sidney Rice is the Seahawks top threat and figures to be the target of the Ravens defense. Rice doesn’t have a reliable second option playing beside him and the QB play has been erratic in Seattle. A better option is Laurent Robinson, who has an increasing workload due to the Miles Austin injury. Dez Bryant will be the focus with Robinson benefiting from single coverage.

Tight End: The Houston Texans rank third in the NFL in stopping opposing TE’s, making Kellen Winslow a weak option. I prefer Brent Celek this week as the Eagles TE has 14 catches the past two weeks and is becoming more involved.

As far as college football is concerned this week, here are three players to keep an eye on for College Fantasy Football Salary Cap games. They aren’t household names, but that doesn’t mean that can’t help your fantasy squad.

Blaine Gautier (Louisiana-Lafayette QB) – He is tenth in the nation in passing efficiency (159.3 rating) and boasts a 17 to 2 touchdown to interception ratio. In a huge game in the Sun Belt conference, I expect Gautier to light up Arkansas State.

Henry Josey (Missouri RB) – The sophomore leads the country in yards per rush (8.6) and is even better than that coming off of a loss. Josey averages 16 carries for 152 yards and 1.5 TD’s when his Tigers lost the previous week.

Kenny Stills (Oklahoma WR) – Already a solid option (41 catches for 610 yards and 8 scores), Stills will be the Sooners top target after the loss of Ryan Broyles to a torn ACL. Oklahoma squares off against Baylor this weekend, a team that allows 36.8 points per game.

Fantasy game are as much about value as they are talent. Here are three pros and three preps who figure to outperform their current price tag.Remember, the Fantasy Football Freeroll presented by Scorebig.com is now available to enter for free and is awarding over $200 in prizes!

NFL

Shonn Greene – The Jets commitment to the ground game (63 carries for Greene in his last three games) will pay big dividends in Buffalo this week. The Jets have a chance to win this game if they control the clock, so expect another 20+ carries from Greene. With The Bills rank in the bottom half of the NFL in running points against, making Greene my sixth ranked RB for week nine.

Michael Bush – With Darren McFadden (foot) out of action this week, Bush finds himself in my top 10 RB’s. A very strong back in the red zone will get the bulk of the carries for a team with question marks in the passing game. The Raiders figure to dominate, and thus rely on Bush to take the air out of the football.

Julio Jones – His return from a hamstring injury couldn’t come at a better time, it’s Colts week for the Falcons. Jones is far too athletic for the Colts secondary, and should see single coverage as the Colts focus on Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez.

NCAA – College Fantasy Football Salary Cap games

Zach Line – The junior RB for the Southern Methodist Mustangs is matched up a Tulane defense that surrenders 35 points per game. Line is sixth in division one with 14 rushing TD’s and averages 6 yards per carry.

Stephen Hill – The nation’s leader in yards per catch (30.4) is a great bet when filling out your roster. One of every five catches for Hill winds up in six points, so he needs very few targets to make noise.

Nick Foles – Senior QB’s at home are always favorable, especially when that QB throws more than all but one division one QB. His Wildcats battle a Utah team that was gashed by a much less efficient pass game in Brock Osweiler and the Arizona State Sun Devils.

The 2011 Fantasy football season continues to roll on. Drew Brees had a monster day on Sunday, throwing for 31 completions, 325 yards and 5 touchdowns. TE Jimmy Graham had another big outing, catching 2 of those touchdowns. Marques Colston had 2 touchdown catches himself as the Saints offense just continues to roll. Anyone playing Fantazzle’s weekly fantasy football salary cap games should pick any of these 3 Saints players when setting their lineups for the week. They seem to be producing great fantasy numbers at a consistent clip right now, so pick them with confidence!

Many fantasy leagues out there have byes weeks to deal with. If you started Tim Tebow at quarterback like I did for the week because of bye’s, then you were rewarded. Tebow started the game of slow, but wound up bringing the Broncos back for a win and finished the day with a solid fantasy effort. He threw for 161 yards, 2 touchdowns, a 2-pt conversion and 65 rushing yards; not bad for a bye week fill in. Demaryius Thomas, who was a hot waiver wire pick up this week with Brandon Lloyd being traded to St. Louis, salvaged his day with a touchdown catch late in the comeback win, so I guess he panned out.

DeMarco Murray also had himself one of the biggest fantasy days in week 7 rushing for 253 yards and a touchdown! That was a new Cowboys single game record. Felix Jones may have to miss some more time with that performance from Murray. I’d like to see another big game from Murray however, before I start recommending him for your weekly fantasy football games.

Moving on to injuries, Tim Hightower left the game after piling up 88 yards on the ground with a left knee injury. It looked pretty significant and he was carted off the field. If you haven’t already, grab Roy Helu and Ryan Torain. Percy Harvin also left his game early after re-aggravating his rib cage area. Hopefully, he can play next week with Chris Ponder looking formidable behind center. And in a surprising move, Joseph Addai was able to play at the last second. Most people thought he would sit out this week, but Addai ended up trying to give it a go. It wasn’t much of a go as he totaled 2 catches for 11 yards and rushed for only 8 more! The Indy backfield is just a mess.

Matt Forte wasn’t one of the big time, high scorers for week 6 in the 2011 fantasy football season, but he still put together yet another solid game for his owners. Watching Matt Forte run the ball, he looks smooth and always seems to be gaining positive yardage, in big chunks too! I would use his services in salary cap leagues almost every week until he slows down. LeSean McCoy, Fred Jackson and Rashard Mendenhall all had big games this week, going over 120 rushing yards each and a touchdown. Josh Freeman finally broke through with a good QB performance going for 23 completions, 303 yards and 2 touchdowns. One more game like that from him and maybe we can start picking him as a cheap QB option in fantasy football weekly salary cap games.

Tight end, Jimmy Graham had a huge day with 7 catches for 124 yards, and Marques Colston had his first big game of the season bringing in 7 catches, for 118 yards and a score. Lets not forget Frank Gore who had a huge day on the ground too, with 141 yards and a TD. Michael Turner got loose on the grond with 139 and 2, while Devin Hester torched it up on Sunday night with a kick return touchdown and a deep bomb touchdown from Jay Cutler. Hester finished the night with 5 rec, 91, 1 and 134 return yards and the touchdown. Adrian Peterson seemed to be held in check this week with only 39 yards on the ground, but still managed to produce a score, typical AP. Brees was Brees, Brady was Brady and Tony Romo did good too this week, lets move on to injuries.

LeGarrette Blount missed the game this week with a bum knee. The Bucs are saying that he could be out for another couple weeks or so. With the way Earnest Graham produced at tail back this past weekend, I wouldn’t expect the Bucs to rush LeGarrette Blount back into the mix. Look for Earnest Graham to produce quality numbers as the starter. Joseph Addai missed week 6 action with a sensitive hamstring. He might also miss week 7, so look for Donald Brown and Delone Carter to get all the work again next week if Addai can’t go. Brandon Jacobs missed his first game of the season with a hurt knee. We have no word yet on when he’ll be back. He could possibly come back after the Giants’ week 7 bye week.

Be sure to check out all the games over at Fantazzle. Try out the pick’em games, challenge games and salary cap games. Find me on the Fantazzle site (FantasyDave) and compete against me.

Week 5 of the 2011 fantasy football season had plenty of big games for us managers. As I predicted in our weekly start’em sit’em podcast, Adrian Peterson went off on the Arizona Cardinals for bigger days than Darren McFadden and Arian Foster. Peterson totaled 122 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Kudos to anyone who selected him in our weekly salary cap fantasy football games at Fantazzle. Eli Manning also got loose in week 5 putting up 420 passing yards with three touchdowns and three picks against Seattle. The law firm, BenJarvus Green-Ellis was another bright spot in fantasy football for week 5. He ran for 136 yards and two touchdowns, adding in one catch for 13 yards.

Nate Washington’s day was held in check as I predicted because of that Pittsburgh pass defense, but Matt Hasselbeck did a little better than we expected. I had him getting shut down playing against the Steelers pass D. Victor Cruz also came out and had himself a day with 8 catches for 161 yards and a touchdown. LeSean McCoy was LeSean McCoy and Drew Brees was Drew Brees. LeGarrette Blount was held in check against San Franciso, like we thought and we will see what happens tonight on Monday night football–Lions vs. Bears. All of our week 5 fantasy player predictions can be heard by clicking the link.

Joseph Addai left the game in the second quarter against K.C. with an apparent hamstring injury. Addai said that when you hurt your hamstring, you can feel it tear. This one, he said, felt like a grab, so it could be minor, but stay updated and be ready to scoop Delone Carter who would be in line for most of the touches should Addai need to sit out week 6 and beyond. LeGarrette Blount also left his game with an injury, for him, it was a knee. The Buccaneers were getting blown out all day anyway, so this may have just been something precautionary. We’ll know more about Blount on Wednesday or Thursday. If you have the room on your roster, I would add Earnest Graham just to be safe.

Be sure to check out all our fantasy games and if you haven’t been playing with us already, you need to! Weekly NFL salary cap games will be starting as usual at 1 pm this Sunday. Our college fantasy football games will be kicking off this Thursday at 8 pm. Come and try your luck against the best, if you beat us, then you’re doing something right!

As always, have fun with it and enjoy the week

Week 4 in the NFL is already by us with the exception of Monday night’s game featuring the Buccaneers and Colts. My, how quickly the season goes on. With week 5 upon us and bye weeks sure to screw some managers over, now is the time that you will either pay for your drafting mistakes or benefit from them. Drafting a team that is deep and not just “starter heavy” is crucial to not only fantasy football success, but fantasy sports success in general. Being too “starter heavy” is when your starting roster is full of studs, but you have no talent on the bench in case of injuries and of course, bye weeks.

So, hopefully you not only drafted your team carefully, but you took the time to make certain pickups and/or trades in order to evenly balance your team out so that you are strong on all fronts and strong in case of any roster related disasters. For those who aren’t in leagues, but are playing the monthly or weekly fantasy football leagues, then it’s business as usual for you. Look to exploit certain match-ups in week 5, look for players that have been hot and on a roll and keep the big money for those big time QB’s like Drew Brees and Tom Brady.

For anyone playing our weekly and/or monthly fantasy football games, the way things have been looking so far this season, players I would generally lean toward regardless of who they’re playing on the schedule when selecting your lineups are Adrian Peterson, Fred Jackson, Vincent Jackson, LeSean McCoy, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Hakeem Nicks and Wes Welker. These guys just seem unstoppable right now, so roll them with confidence.

More salary cap fantasy football games and fantasy football challenge games will be starting at 1 o’clock as usual on Sunday, October 9th. Also, it’s still not too late to sign up and register to play Lingerie Fantasy Football powered by Fantazzle. Get in the game and watch these honeys go to battle, it’s some serious business out there, these girls are hitting, they don’t play and they’re sexy too!

2011 Fantasy baseball playoffs are also underway at Fantazzle. Didn’t have such good luck during the regular season? No sweat, try your luck in the post-season and see how you do.

As always, enjoy the week, and have some fun! Be sure to check out our weekly Fantazzle podcasts’ as well for some more fantasy football conversation and advice:

For example, you will now see more match-ups with the same players competing against each other in the game in real life, to be available for picking in the fantasy game. So for example, this week, the Dolphins and Browns faced off, so a match-up you might see to choose from in the pick’em game would be Daniel Thomas or Peyton Hillis. This allows for faster results in the scoring. Below is the upcoming schedule for this week’s games and their start times for the week.

Thursday:

College Fantasy Football Challenge – 8 pm EDT

College Fantasy Football Salary Cap – 8 pm EDT

We finally got to enjoy a full Sunday of the NFL and fantasy football action. Leagues all over the globe were in full swing yesterday and tonight, Monday, with the Patriots facing the Dolphins, week 1 of 2011 fantasy football will be winding down to a close. There were plenty of big winners over the weekend at Fantazzle and there will be plenty more to come. Start flipping your money with your fantasy knowledge already. Throw down some money on one of the 2011 salary cap fantasy football games and see what you got–college or pros.

The MLB season is winding down to a close too. Most fantasy baseball leagues are in finals right now, so for those individuals, we’ll fill you in on those major names either coming or going for this week of fantasy baseball.

2B, Rickie Weeks/Milwaukee Brewers: Weeks has been out of game action since July 27 when he severely sprained his left ankle running and falling hard on a play to first base. In his second appearance on Sunday (first start) since being back from the DL, Weeks drew a walk and was also hit by a pitch–what a tough way to comeback. It shouldn’t take long for Rickie Weeks to find his power stroke again, but with the 2011 fantasy baseball season nearing it’s end, we might just have to wait until next year to enjoy Rickie’s stellar production lines again.

OF, Nelson Cruz/Texas Rangers: Nelson Cruz is looking to make it back to the field by sometime before Wednesday. He’s been on the DL as of late with hamstring issues. Those of you in weekly finals match-ups, you’ve got to leave him benched. Daily leaguers, just wait until further notice.

1B, Justin Morneau/Minnesota Twins: Out since Aug 28th, Justin Morneau hasn’t been cleared yet to play with his concussion symptoms. He’s hitting only .227 anyway, so even if he does get healthy and cleared to play, it’s not like he won’t be doing much for the remainder of 2011 regardless.

If you didn’t already join the festivities for week 1 of salary cap fantasy football and college salary cap fantasy football, join us for week 2. For the winners from week 1, play again, you have to play your money while your hot! Keep it rollin’. What are you going to do with one prize winning? Bet that prize money again, and flip your cake until you reach a thousand–now we’re talking.

And if you lose everything, so what? All you lose is your initial investment which I’m sure you can probably get back rather easily somehow. Deposit again, and this time hope for a win. Fantasy sports is very streaky. The name of the game is to cash in on those times when you are hot, that is when there is money to be made.

Enjoy the week
