Judging from the intense cheering at Buffalo Wild Wings on Thursday night for every Reggie Wayne reception, Fantasy Football is huge again this season. MyCityBuzz has asked me, the Fantasy Hooligan, to be their resident expert on all things Fantasy Football this season. Am I really an expert you ask? I guess you'll find out. Every week I'll post my Start 'Em or Sit 'Em as well as any other relevant fantasy info that you might need on the way to your fantasy championship. I assume that you're going to start LT and Peyton Manning on a regular basis, so I'll point out what you should do when you're trying to decide on those last couple game time decisions. Start of the Week: LaMont Jordan (vs Detroit) - Oakland is playing the Lions. Enough Said. You're going to see a lot of Lions opponents in this spot this season. Start 'Em @ QB: Matt Leinart, Arizona - I like the San Francisco defense, but I like Leinart a lot more. He's going to be a fantastic fantasy quarterback in this league and he throws to two of the best receivers in the NFL. Start 'Em @ RB: Travis Henry, Denver - Trav has a lot to prove. He's playing for a coach that has the reputation of making a 1,000 yd. back out of anyone. Plus, he's got nine baby mommas to pay. Start 'Em @ WR: Jerry Porter, Oakland - Again, the Raiders are playing the Lions. Detroit's terrible secondary got worse when Daniel Bullocks went down for the year. Teams are going to pass all over the Lions this season, Starting with Oakland. Sit 'Em @ QB: Phillip Rivers, San Diego - Rivers goes against the Bears defense, which is just as strong this season as it was last year. Plus, when the tough gets going for San Diego, they don't throw... that's what they have LDT for. Sit 'Em @ RB: Jamal Lewis, Cleveland - I think that Jam will be fairly successful this season as a 3rd or flex running back, but not this week. He's got a new offensive line blocking for him and going against the Steelers D. Sit 'Em @ WR: Falcons receivers, Atlanta - First reason, the Falcons are playing a very good and underrated Vikings defense. Second, Joey Harrington. Sorry for the short list this week, I promise more info and analysis in the coming weeks and please send all your lineup questions to fantasyhooligan@gmail.com.
