Fantasy Fix: Week 13 - Start 'Em/Sit 'Em

We hope all you Fantasy Fixers had a great Thanksgiving and have fully recovered from the turkey coma and Black Friday riots. If the Sunday action is anything like the Thursday games, we fake footballers are in for some high Fantasy scoring .
Let’s get right to it. The Fantasy playoffs are just two weeks away. Line ‘em up, it’s the Week 13 start ‘em and sit ‘ems.
Start ‘Em
Quarterback
Carson Palmer, (ARI) at Phi: Palmer is averaging over 15 Fantasy points in his last three games. This week he gets an Eagles defense that is ranked dead last against the pass. Pick up Palmer, give him the start, go to the Fantasy playoffs. You’re welcome.

Running Back
Andre Brown, (NYG) at Was: Brown is averaging over 15 Fantasy points over the last three weeks and faces a mess in Washington. The ‘Skins can’t score, they can’t stop anyone, the coach has been tuned out and RGIII’s dad is hanging around the locker room.

Wide Receiver
Kendall Wright, (TEN) at Ind: In the last six weeks, the Colts are allowing over 30 points per game to receivers – the worst  in the NFL. Wright has scored less than six fantasy points just once in his last seven games. Kendall has the Wright stuff.

Tight End
Martellus Bennent, (CHI) at Min: I’m always spinning the tight end roulette wheel it seems. The Vikings are one of the best matchups for tight ends as they have allowed the second most touchdowns to tight ends this year. Bennett scored two TDs when these teams met back in week two. I’m betting on Bennent.

Defense/Special Teams
New England Patriots at Hou: After last weeks loss the Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson said, “We suck.” He’s right. Start the Pats D.

Sit ‘Em
Quarterback
Andrew Luck, (IND) vs. Ten: Tennessee has given up the 4th fewest fantasy points to QBs this season and Luck has been struggling lately. Don’t leave your Fantasy playoff hopes up to Luck.

Running Back
Stevan Ridley, (NE) at Hou: Ridley is in the doghouse with a case of fumbleitis.It’ll be awhile before Bill Belichick throws him a bone.

Wide Receiver
Steve Smith, (CAR) vs. TB: Smith will be lost on Revis island all day.He won’t even have Wilson to talk to as Smith won’t be seeing the ball much.

Tight End
Tony Gonzalez, (ATL) at Buf: Perhaps it’s injuries or father time has finally caught up to him, but Gonzalez isn’t getting it done. He has averaged less than five Fantasy points in his last three games. Bet Gonzo wishes he had stayed retired.

Defense/Special Teams
Seattle Seahawks vs. NO: Normally you start the ‘Hawks D. However, they face a Saints offense that will score on Sunday. The Thunderdome may get loud, but the Seattle defense will be quiet this week.
