You Know Who You Should Sit?

Tony Romo (QB – DAL) I know you're thrilled to have Romo back, as are his teammates, but my sources in the Cowboys locker room tell me a different story. The joy felt by his receivers over finally not having Brad Johnson throw them the ball has quickly turned to concern over their rusty star quarterback's lack of arm strength, which some have called "Johnson-esque". Said a certain star wide receiver, who asked that his name be withheld and instead be referred to as "Berrell Mowens", "Are you fucking kidding me!? I thought we were getting our QB back. What's this weak-armed shit? Terrell Owens needs a man to throw him the rock! Shit, wait, not Terrell Owens. What was that name I asked you to call me? Fuck. You can cut this part out, right?" When asked for a response, Tony Romo said, "seriously? Berrell Mowens? That's the best that idiot came up with?" He then shook his head and walked off. Expect Romo to struggle against a solid Washington defense as he works himself back into game shape.

You Know Who Else You Should Sit?

Kevin Smith (RB – DET) Smith's mediocre rushing yards totals the past few games have been bailed out by him consistently finding his way into the end zone. However, that's unlikely against a strong Carolina D playing at home, where they rarely give up a rushing TD. This adds up to a poor week for Kevin Smith.

Brandon Jacobs (RB – NYG) As good as he is, he's a running back in a timeshare going against the Ravens defense. Expect a disappointing week.

Maurice Jones Drew & Fred Taylor (RBs – JAX) The two-headed Jags RB tandem has been padding their overall stats lately taking advantage of some weak rush defenses. That won't be the case this week against Tennessee. Expect the Titans to fully overpower the Jaguars poor excuse for an offensive line as they successfully shut down their running backs. Look elsewhere for your RB or Flex production.

Steve Slaton (RB – HOU) Here’s another running back to avoid. It might be tempting to play him going up against the Colts weak rush defense, but his coach is referring to him as "worn down" and he has two other RBs taking his carries and allowing him to rest. He is not at all someone you can count on at this point in the season.

Joe Flacco (QB – BAL) He's been a great waiver wire pickup over the past few weeks, but his is still a rookie QB going up against the defending champs on the road. With any new quarterback there are going to be some bumps in the road, and this week is going to be one of them.

You're benching Slaton against that Colts run defense? You sure?
