Hi, its time for fantasy starts, lets dive right in. Some news that Colin Kaepernick signed a new deal with the 49ers. Here it is:
Marcus Mariota, QB, Titans: Mariota had insane week last week against the Dolphins. 30 points!! This week he is playing and even worse defense playing against the winless Browns. He should have another field day and DeMarco Murray should be his prime target.
Jeremy Kerley, WR, 49ers: This is a little of a risky play vs a good Bills D, but it could pay off. Kerley has been the 49ers top receiver the last 2 weeks scoring 14 and 16 points. He is onto peoples fantasy radars and that is a good thing but it could be a bit risky playing him this week. A hard Bills D and a new QB who hasn't bonded with him yet could stop him from a good week. Play him as your FLEX or a low end WR2.
DeMarco Murray, RB, Titans: Murray has probably been the no. 1 RB in fantasy through the first five weeks of fantasy. Sorry, I lied, he has been the 2nd best, I just searched it up. He has not had a non double digit point game yet and why would he do it this week against probably the worst D in the league. He is the no. 1 RB on the Titans and he will get a lot of receiving too. He is a high end RB1!
Martellus Bennett, TE, Patriots: Most may say Martellus Bennett's good first weeks in New England may be a fluke, but I say no. Even with Rob Gronkowski back, Tom Brady should still give Bennett a bunch of targets. Sure he won't have 3 TD's this week but its looking like at least a 10 point game for Bennett. I say pick up Bennett and trade your high end tight end like Greg Olsen or Jordan Reed for another position.
Ryan Matthews, RB, Eagles: Coming off 3 double digit games, going against a terrible Redskins D should be easy money for Matthews. He is the prime workhorse RB in Philidelphia and why would he stop playing well in one of his easiest match-ups of the year. This should be yet another field day for Matthews.
Thanks for reading and I will hopefully have my sits post up before the game tomorrow night for Thursday night football, Broncos Vs. Chargers.

Week 1 Fantasy Starts and Sits
Hi, FANTASY STARTS AND SITS IS BACK! Last year before the Sunday games every week I would write a post about players who should start and shouldn't start on your fantasy team for the week due to their match-ups or something else. Here are my starts and sits:
STARTS
Christine Michael, RB, Seahawks: People are ready to see Thomas Rawls play again after his season got ended early last season when he got injured. Those people will have to wait. Rawls is still easing into playing again and this week, coach Pete Carroll listed backup RB Christine Michael as the starter. Michael has had a monster pre-season and he is super fast and has shown that he can play GREAT! Against the Dolphins easy defense, Michael should come off your leagues waiver wire onto your starting lineup. He is a great RB-2/FLEX!
DeAngelo Williams, RB, Steelers: Anyone who has DeAngelo Williams should be very excited. Williams was amazing last year when he stepped in for the injured Le'Veon Bell. Now Bell has a 3 game suspension to start off the year and DeAngelo is back at starter. Against an easy Redskins defense, Williams should be able to expose them for many points. Having him and Christine Michael would be great for your team in week 1. Don't just start Williams this week, start him the next 2 weeks. Williams is an RB1/RB2/FLEX.
Tyrod Taylor, QB, Bills: Taylor had a very good season last year. He threw for 20 TD's and only threw 6 interceptions. He also rushed for 4 TD's. Taylor is so good. He is great at throwing the ball and with no. 1 WR Sammy Watkins back in the game, he should be amazing. Against an easy Ravens defense he should be able to steal a lot of points in that game. Not to mention Tyrod also is one of the only good starting rushing QB's, he can run in for touchdowns himself getting himself a lot of points.
Martellus Bennett, TE, Patriots: With Rob Gronkowski out for week 1, Bennett will be the starting tight end and he should haul in a lot of passes. Bennett has a lot of talent and was a great starting tight end on the Bears and now on the Patriots he will even get a lot of targets. Watch out for him, pick him up as your starting tight end for week 1.
OTHER STARTS: DeMarco Murray RB Titans, Blake Bortles QB Jaguars, Eddie Lacy RB Packers, Sammy Watkins WR Bills, Tyler Lockett WR Seahawks.
SITS
Jimmy Garapollo, QB, Patriots: Sure, it may be fun to test out a QB who is young and starting in a talented offense when Brady is gone, but don't test your luck. First of all, Garapollo is against the Cardinals defense, one of the leagues best defenses, second, Patriots best pass catcher Rob Gronkowski is not playing this week. Third, this is Garapollo's first game as a starter which is hard for him. I wouldn't start any of the Patriots offensive players except for maybe RB LeGarrette Blount who could be good.
Arian Foster, RB, Dolphins: Everyone is probably really excited to see Fosters debut as a starter in Miami, but I wouldn't put him in yet. The Dolphins are in Seattle against one of the leagues BEST defenses. Foster will be limited to not many carries and it isn't great for him. Don't start him unless you don't want points.
Jimmy Graham, TE, Seahawks: Since Graham is finally coming back after an injury that he got mid-way through last season, everyone is super excited to finally be able to plug him into their lineups. Graham is good, but don't start him. He is going to play but Coach Pete Carroll never said how much play time he would get, he won't get much is my guess cause he is working on coming back. Plus since he is coming back, he may not be as good as he was as he turned on last year. Give him a few weeks before you put Graham in.
Kirk Cousins, QB, Redskins: Cousins is overrated. Everyone says he is so good and sometimes he is, but this isn't going to be his week. He is playing against the Steelers good defense and his receivers aren't great. DeSean Jackson is sometimes good, Josh Doctson is a rookie, Jamison Crowder can't play great. Cousins does have amazing tight end Jordan Reed but he will be covered up by some good corners. Don't start Cousins this week, he could be a fluke.
OTHER SITS: Matt Forte' RB Jets, Jarvis Landry WR Dolphins, Keenan Allen WR Chargers, Phillip Rivers QB Chargers, Ryan Tannehill QB Dolphins, Carlos Hyde 49ers RB, Thomas Rawls RB Seahawks. THANKS FOR READING!!!
