Start 'Em & Sit 'Em is the ultimate look at the weekly NFL matchups and how they'll affect your fantasy football team. Sleeper alert features an under-the-radar player who could produce good numbers. Owners beware features a regular fantasy starter who could fail to meet expectations based on the strength of his opponent. Obvious fantasy starters like Aaron Rodgers and Adrian Peterson will not be featured. For your final lineup decisions, check our lineup rankings.
Start of the week
Torrey Smith at Buffalo Bills: Smith is on pace to post career highs in both receptions and yardage after three weeks. While he hasn't found the end zone, the touchdowns could come as soon as this week against the Bills. Their defense is tied for allowing the most scores to wideouts while surrendering the fourth-most fantasy points to the position. (Maximum value: Low-WR1)
Start 'em
Reggie Wayne at Jacksonville Jaguars: Wayne hasn't scored a touchdown in his last six games against the Jaguars, but that hasn't stopped him from posting strong numbers. In fact, he's had 11 or more targets in each of his last three games against Jacksonville - those targets have produced at least eight receptions in all three of those meetings. (Maximum value: High-WR2)
Pierre Garcon at Oakland Raiders: Garcon is making headlines for some of the comments he has made about his quarterback, Robert Griffin III, but that hasn't altered their connection on the field. These two should hook up often in Oakland, as the Raiders have surrendered the most receptions and the seventh-most yards to opposing wide receivers. (Maximum value: High-WR2)
Eric Decker vs. Philadelphia Eagles: Remember when everyone was freaking out about Decker after Week 1? Well, he's been the eighth-best wide receiver in fantasy football over the last two weeks. He should continue to produce against the Eagles, who have allowed five touchdowns and the third-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts in 2013. (Maximum value: Mid-WR2)
Sleeper alert - Julian Edelman at Atlanta Falcons: Edelman hasn't been great in standard leagues, but you can do much worse than starting him in PPR formats. This week he'll go up against the Falcons, who are tied for the most touchdowns allowed to wideouts and have surrendered the fifth-most fantasy points to the position this season. (Maximum value: High-WR3)
Sit of the week
Roddy White vs. New England Patriots: White (ankle) played a season-high 47 snaps in Week 3, but he was still used as a decoy in a loss to the Miami Dolphins. Until he starts to show flashes of his old self, you simply can't trust him. What's more, White faces a Patriots defense that has allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to wideouts. (Maximum value: Low-WR3)
Sit 'em
Greg Jennings vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (London): Jennings just isn't the same player, both on the field and in fantasy football, without Aaron Rodgers throwing him the football. That's been evident in his stats from the first three weeks. And with a game against the Steelers and CB Ike Taylor up next, there's no bloody way I'd start Jennings. (Maximum value: Low-WR3)
Santonio Holmes at Tennessee Titans: Holmes is back on the fantasy radar after a monster performance against the Bills, but can you trust him against the Titans? I'm not so sure about that. Last week, their defense held the San Diego Chargers wide receivers to a combined 4.1 fantasy points. Start Holmes with extreme caution this week. (Maximum value: Low-WR3)
Sidney Rice at Houston Texans: Last week, Rice scored two touchdowns and finished with the fourth-most fantasy points among wide receivers. Nice performance, but that was at home against the lowly Jaguars. I'm expecting his numbers to fall this week, as he faces a much tougher Texans pass defense on the road. Keep Rice on the fantasy sidelines. (Maximum value: High-WR3)
Owners beware - Larry Fitzgerald at Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Over the last two weeks, 61 wide receivers have scored more fantasy points than Fitzgerald. That's due in part to a bum hamstring that seems to be hampering him. Next up is a date with the Buccaneers and shutdown CB Darrelle Revis, which makes Fitzgerald a real risk in most fantasy leagues. (Maximum value: High-WR3)
