Fantasy Football: Week 5 start 'em sit 'em QBs

Start QB Terrell Pryor vs. Chargers. Assuming Pryor gets the start, he's definitely the hot hand in black and silver. The Chargers secondary has proven themselves as one of the worst in the league, allowing a 69% completion percentage to opposing QBs and a staggering league-high 26 fantasy points per game.

Start QB Eli Manning vs. Eagles.

Start QB Matt Stafford vs. Packers. In his last three games against Green Bay, Stafford has scored 8 times and averaged over 350 yards per game. Should be a good day for fantasy players on both teams as this game is likely going to be a shootout.

Start QB Michael Vick vs. Giants.

Start QB Sam Bradford vs. Jaguars. This will be Bradford's first career game against the Jaguars. After an embarrassing division loss last week to the 9ers, the Rams will likely take out their frustration of a Jacksonville team who has clearly shown themselves as the worst team in the NFL.

Start QB Philip Rivers vs. Raiders.

Sit QB Jay Cutler vs. Saints. Tough decision here. The Saints are going to score, and that keeps Cutler with the ball. Don't be too sure that this is going to result in a positive fantasy outing. The Saints have been playing from ahead all season, and in their last three games they have only allowed 2 passing touchdowns, and have given up an average of 187 passing yards per game.

Sit QB Carson Palmer vs. Panthers.

Sit QB Russell Wilson vs. Colts. The Colts defense looks scary good, and the addition of Trent Richardson is only going to help balance the game's time of possession. I think every NFL fan is excited for this game, but it's likely to be a more fortunate situation for Beast Mode (M. Lynch). In the last two weeks, the Colts have allowed 165 passing yards per game, and 0 touchdowns through the air.

Sit QB Andrew Luck vs. Seahawks.

Sit QB Andy Dalton vs. Patriots. New England's secondary is the best it's been since 2007. If the Bengals expect to win this game, it's going to be done on defense. Nobody can expect this 2-2 team to score more than 25 points.

Sit QB E.J. Manuel vs. Browns. The Browns' front seven on defense is probably the best in the league. Rookie Barkevious Mingo has shown that he is worthy of consideration for defensive-player-of-the-year. The X-factor here is that the Browns were one of the few teams to have placed Manuel very high on their first-round draft board this year. Coach Rob Chudzinski spent more time scouting E.J. Manual this off-season than he did his own starting QB - Brian Hoyer - who was only signed to a 2-year deal following the draft; in which the Browns selected Mingo of Manuel.
