You Know Who You Should Sit?

Matt Forte (RB - CHI) A few weeks ago, I decided to join some friends for a round of golf upstate. We were about to tee off at number four when we heard a loud thud. We quickly turned on our heels and found a squirrel lying motionless on the ground. “Did that squirrel just fall out of the tree?” I asked my friends. We looked up – the lowest tree branch was about 30 feet above our heads. No squirrel could survive a fall like that. All of its little bones must’ve been crushed on impact.

In Week 4, Matt All-Day Fo’Tay is going to resemble that squirrel. You won’t find a bigger Forte supporter than Mr. T, but this week’s matchup does not look promising. He’ll be facing the Eagles, whose defense has been extremely stout against the run this year. And after having seen what Forte can do over the past few weeks, the Bears will stack the line and make Orton beat them. I have a feeling that Forte’s going to see a lot of crushing tackles that will end with Brian Dawkins standing over him and saying “Welcome to the NFL, rook.”

You Know Who You Should Also Sit?

Ben Roethlisberger (QB - PIT) With Parker out of the lineup, the Ravens will likely hang back until Rashard Mendenhall proves that he can move the chains. Big Gay Ben’s injured wing doesn’t help, either.

Brian Griese (QB - TB) I know Al Harris is out, but I don't see Griese duplicating last week’s yardage total. You can run on the Packers D this year, so that’s what the Bucs will do.

Chris Johnson (RB - TEN) Word is that Bryant “Giving and Receiving” McKinnie invited CJ to a Lake Minnetonka boat party this weekend. Even if he survives that, Minnesota's run defense will make him wish he that he hadn’t.

Eddie Royal (WR - DEN) Some might see this weekend’s matchup against the Chiefs as a chance for Royal to return to his Week 1 form. I see it as a blowout with numerous carries for the Denver Running Back Situation. At least Marble Ryan will be happy.

Roddy White (WR - ATL) Only start him when the Falcons are at home until Matt Ryan proves he can get it done on the road.

Todd Heap (TE - BAL) Trying to catch balls from Joe Flacco in a road game makes Divine Brown look like a winning proposition.
