There are some serious BYE players this week including the Colts offense. We will let you know who to play and not play for week six.


Automatically bench any players on the following teams:
Indianapolis Colts, Buffalo Bills, San Francisco 49ers, Pittsburgh Steelers, Denver Broncos, and Detroit Lions.

QUARTERBACKS
1st Tier Quarterbacks MUST Start:
Tom Brady - Should have a normal shootout type game against Dallas.

Tony Romo - Whether or not the Cowboys win, Romo will throw 2-3 TDs

Carson Palmer - Kansas City's def is ok, but Carson wil throw on it. allot.

Donovan McNabb - He'll have some fun against the Jets look for 2 TDs and a third by run in.

Phillip Rivers - Big game against the Raiders and he's at home. Look for 2 TDs and 285 yards.

2nd Tier Quarterbacks You have to Start:

Matt Hasselbeck - Should have a solid day against New Orleans defense even with no Branch.

Brett Farve - Washington is a great defense, but not twice in a row. Start Farve.

Chad Pennington - He'll be in a shootout with Philly, and they cannot hold Coles and Cotchery all day.

Jeff Garcia - He can move in the pocket and throw on the run. 2 TDs and 220 is there for the taking.

Kurt Warner - He could have a really big game. Carolina won't have the ball much.

Eli Manning - Eli will throw to Burress all game. 3 TDs could happen if all goes right.

3rd Tier Quarterbacks Start At Your Own Risk:

Matt Shaub - He's a risk without Johnson against Jacksonville, but he has surprised in the past.

David Garrad - Again, Houston gives up passinh, but you never know what you will get.

Brian Griese - Showed skills against Green Bay and will have to throw on Minnesota. Look for a risky, but big game from Griese.

Drew Brees - He's been junk all year, but facing a ragged Seattle defense.

Jason Campbell - He's proving with each game he's good, but against Green Bay?

Duante Culpepper - Can he do it again and against a blitzing defense. We don't think so.

4th Tier Quarterbacks MUST BENCH:

Gus Ferotte - Baltimore will be all over him.

David Carr - Did we have to tell you?


RUNNINGBACKS
1st Tier Runningbacks MUST Start:
Willis McGahee - Must start against St. Louis.

Ronnie Brown - Should eat up Cleveland.

Rudi Johnson - If he's healthy he will run on Kansas City. monitor his status.

Larry Johnson - Larry will have to be 75% of KC's offense.

Brian Westbrook - He's getting healthy and will have a monster game vs. the Jets.

Marion Barber - This is a risk, but we believe the Cowboys will move the ball and he will punch it in once if not twice.

LaDainian Tomlinson - Again, a must start every week. You don't want to miss his breakout week.

Brandon Jacobs - We love this match up and think he will find the end zone and gather 100+ yards.

2nd Tier Runningbacks You have to Start:

Derrick Ward - He'll get carries ad yards, but probably not a score.

Maurice Jones-Drew - He will see allot of action and the end zone.

Edgerrin James - START. You almost have too. He should produce.

DeShaun Foster - We see him getting 80 yards and a TD.

Sammy Morris - Big game in Dallas. They will be throwing, and he will catch allot of them.

Lamont Jordan - If he's healthy, start. Monitor his back issues.

Reggie Bush - OK, he stinks, but not for long. He can outrun the Seattle defense. 2 TDs could happen and you heard it here.

3rd Tier Runningbacks Start At Your Own Risk:

Tampa Bay RBs - Of course.

Atlanta RB's - Dunn and Norwood can produce against the Giants, but it could turn into a blow out.

Shaun Alexander 0 It sucks having him here, but he's hurting, and we don't like what we see.

Ron Dayne - We will say it now, we do not like this match up.

4th Tier Runningbacks MUST BENCH:

Clinton Portis - Green Bay is hard on the run.

Bears RB's Does it matter, and its Minnesota

Brian Leonard - We liked him last week, but not this week.
Green Bay RBs - Washington will hammer their RB's.

Julius Jones - In this game, running will be obsolete.

Thomas Jones - Not a good match up.

Tennessee RBs - Tampa will stop them cold.

WIDE RECEIVERS
1st Tier Wide Receivers MUST Start:
Braylon Edwards - He should have a big game.

Chad Johnson - He's good for 1-2 TDs.

TJ Houshmandzadeh - He'll get a TD.

Dwayne Bowe - With KC playing catch up, he will get lots of pass targets.

Larry Fitzgerald - He will score and get 140 yards. 2 scores is possible.

Terrell Owens - He will get active in this game. 2 TDs is possible.

Donte Stallworth - We think he will be Brady's big target this week.

Plaxico Burress - 2 TD's a lock.

2nd Tier Wide Receivers You have to Start:

Derrick Mason - We know he'll have opportunities all day and haul in 8-10 receptions, but a TD is never a guarantee. Look for 110+ yards.

Benard Berrian - He will get a TD and 75 yards.

Bobby Engram - With Branch hurt, he is Hasselbeck's #1 target. Big game.

Patrick Crayton - With TO taking most of the coverage look for a TD and 100+ yards

Jerricho Cotchery - He will find holes in Philly's defense. Just hope Pennington finds him.

Marques Colston - Solid game, and a TD is expected.

Randy Moss - A TD is a sure thing, but not many catches or yards.

Laveranues Coles - Big game opprotunity, will get in the end zone and good yards.

Kevin Curtis - Should find the end zone once and pull in 6-7 catches.

Donald Driver - Might not find the end zone, but 120 yards and 7 catches.

3rd Tier Wide Receivers Start At Your Own Risk:

Joey Galloway- He could have a solid game, but hes hit or miss and a risk.
Chris Chambers New QB, but weak defense. Big game is there.

Holt/ Rams WRs - Baltimore will be too much for Ferrotte. We wouldn't start Holt.

Santana Moss/ Antwaan Randle El - Green Bay is tough and even tougher at home. Its a risk to start either, and Moss is hruting, check his status.

Steve Smith - Carr can throw, and must throw to Smith. We say start him at all cost.

Ronald Curry - Risky game, and we aren't sure Culpepper can get him the ball enough to make it a big game. However, he can score on San Diego.

4th Tier Wide Receivers MUST BENCH:

James Jones - Too many fumbles, and Jennings is coming up.
Vincent Jackson - Raiders will take him out of the game.

Jerry Porter - Just don't start.


TIGHT ENDS
1st Tier Tight Ends MUST Start:
Kevin Winslow - Big game, must start.

LJ Smith - We think him and Mcnabb will hook up inthe end zone once.

We are no longer going to do kickers. They are way to hard to predict. and most teams only have one anyway. If you need to find a kicker cause of a BYE week base your decisions on 3 factors:
1. Is the kicker kicking in a Dome? (that's good)

2. Is the Defense the kicker facing a tough defense?
3. Is the kicker's offense very good?
