Fantasy Football: Start And Sit For Week 9

Start these guys

Ryan Grant, Packers RB: Grant has not been consistent this season. But when he has gone against the league's bottom-feeders (Lions, Rams and Browns), he has gained at least 90 yards. Another bottom-feeder (Tampa Bay) this week equals another favorable matchup.

- MATT DOYLE

Michael Crabtree, 49ers WR: For a rookie who held out through the first five weeks of the season, Crabtree has been pretty good in two starts. This week, he'll be matched up against a Titans secondary that has given up an average of 112 yards and two scores to its opponents' top receiver each week. There's potential for a lot of points for Crabtree.

- JAMES ROYAL

Laurence Maroney, Patriots RB: The Pats have no one else to hand it off to and Miami is cracking up. If old man Thomas Jones can run for 102 yards against them, Maroney can do better. Especially since Pretty Boy T will run up the score and then they will run the whole second half.

- JASON COLLINGTON

Sit these guys

Roy Williams, Cowboys WR: Williams is concerned that he is losing his "No. 1 receiver" status in Dallas because "No. 2" (Miles Austin) is getting more catches. Hey, Roy here's a hint — maybe the roles are correctly reversed for your QB, Tony Romo.

- MATT DOYLE

Santonio Holmes, Steelers WR: Holmes hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 1 and the Broncos have given up just four receiving touchdowns all season (all of them in the last three games, though). These factors do not bode well for Holmes. If you have other options, exercise them.

- JAMES ROYAL

Ryan Moats, Texans RB: Steve Slaton — someone I told you to stay away from — has a bad case of the fumbles. Oh, and he is not that special. That is why Moats got into the game last week. He might be the hot waiver wire pickup this week, but he is no fantasy starter. Slaton is not losing his job, just some carries. And the Texans are not going to do that well against the Colts at Indy.
