START 'EM! Brett Favre (vs. DEN): Favre has put himself into the MVP race with the Jets leading the AFC East and his play the past three weeks. After throwing an interception in seven-straight games, Favre only has one interception in his past three games. He also has five touchdowns over that span and has passed for 649 yards. He's also doing a good job of spreading the ball around to Laveranues Coles, Jerricho Cotchery, Dustin Keller, Leon Washington and Thomas Jones. It's a good idea to start all the Jets this week against Denver. The Broncos allow 235.9 passing yards per game with 15 touchdowns on the season, and Favre will have a chance to continue his MVP push in this matchup. Leon Washington (vs. DEN): We know you're going to start Thomas Jones this week because he has a great matchup against the Broncos, who are allowing 144.5 rushing yards per game this season with 15 touchdowns. But Washington is also worth starting since he's becoming a huge factor in the Jets offense. He had eight carries for 82 yards and two touchdowns at Tennessee last week and now has either a touchdown or 50 total yards in five of his past six games. The Broncos don't have the speed on defense to stay with Washington, so look for him and Jones to shine once again. Dustin Keller (vs. DEN): Keller has been on a roll the past three weeks with 20 catches for 236 yards and a touchdown against St. Louis, New England and Tennessee. Now he gets a defense that is soft over the middle and has allowed 15 passing touchdowns. Brett Favre continues to look for Keller, and Fantasy owners should continue to count on him as well. Keep Keller active this week. SIT 'EM! Bust alert: Peyton Hillis (at NYJ): As we told you with Chris Johnson, last week's Sit of the Week, teams don't run on the Jets because of defensive tackle Kris Jenkins, who is the frontrunner for defensive MVP. Johnson only had 10 carries for 46 yards, and Hillis will be limited this week also. He has three touchdowns in his past two games against Atlanta and Oakland, but the Jets have only allowed seven rushing touchdowns this season and are No. 3 in run defense. Hillis might make some plays in the passing game, but this is not a week to count on him at New York with the Jets run defense and Jenkins playing so well.
i benched chris johnson last week cause i knew he would suck but i did start him this week against the lions
we scored three picks under 'start em' and shut peyton hillis down under 'sit em'. the first 3 (favre leon keller) were expected. the last 'sit em' gives our run D some real love.
