You Know Who You Should Sit?

Matt Cassell (QB – NE) When he first took over the starting job, Cassell was hard-working and determined to prove his critics wrong, but my sources tell me that his past few weeks of fantasy success may have gone to the quarterback’s head. Whereas he used to tell people how he just wanted to “do a good job until Brady’s able to return,” now he's been heard declaring that "We don't need that overpaid pretty boy! Has he ever thrown for over 400 yards in back to back games!? I didn't think so!" His dreams of surpassing Brady have gone so far that he's even been spotted canoodling with former Brady girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, and been telling anyone who would listen that he's "not only a better quarterback then that asshole, but also a hell of a better father!" Moynahan's publicist confirms that the two are dating, but rumors that Cassell insists on being told how much better in the bedroom he is than Brady have yet to be confirmed. All in all, expect Cassell to be too distracted this week to do much against the tough Steelers defense.

You Know Who Else You Should Sit?

Peyton Hillis (DRBS) Speaking of hot fantasy players about to come down to earth, Hillis is the latest in a long line of Denver RBs to come out of nowhere and achieve fantasy prominence. And, like those who came before him, Hillis can't be counted on for week-to-week production. This week, the Broncos take on the Jets, who are coming off a week in which they shut down the powerful Tennessee run game. Also, the Broncos will be welcoming Selvin Young, and for all we know, he could end up getting most of the carries. Look elsewhere.

Dwayne Bowe (WR – KC) As bad as my beloved Chiefs have been, and no matter which quarterback they’ve had under center, Dwayne Bowe has managed to be a consistent fantasy producer all year. Unfortunately, this week the Chiefs face the Raiders, and we all know what that means: Bowe will be matched up against Nnamdi Asomugha. Normally I don't pay much attention to which defensive back is going to be matched up against my receivers, but I make the exception for Asomungha, who has made a habit of completely neutralizing the best receivers in the NFL. Expect a tough day for Bowe.

Eli Manning (QB – NYG) While I think Manning will likely put up a good enough day to lead the Giants to victory against the Redskins, I think this will be another week where the Giants lean heavily on their running game, and that means disappointing fantasy numbers for Eli.

Marques Colston (WR – NO) Drew Brees seems to have a favorite receiver, and his name, unfortunately for Colston, is Lance Moore. While the Saints still throw it around enough for multiple receivers to get their yards, the fact is the Bucs have allowed only 4 receiving TDs at home all year. Add to that the fact that Reggie Bush is expected to return and factor heavily into the passing game, and suddenly it seems like there won’t be enough touches to go around. 2008 is beginning to look like a lost season for the talented receiver.
