Week 6 of the 2014 season is here, which means its time to set those fantasy lineups. This is my Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em article where I will try to help you make some tough lineup decisions, whether that means sitting a guy who normally should start on your team, or starting a guy who is normally on your bench.

Here are my Start ‘Em/Sit ‘Em picks from last week:

Start ‘Em

Ben Roethlisberger failed to take advantage of his best matchup of the year. He only got 14 points against a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that should have been torn apart by the Steelers offense. The biggest issue was that Big Ben only got in the end zone once, keeping his performance very mediocre.

Travis Kelce extended his touchdown streak to three in Week 5, but that was about all he did. He only finished with 7 points, not getting his usual yardage in Week 5.

Larry Donnell. What a dud last week. After being so targeted by QB Eli Manning through the first four weeks, he was only looked at once by Manning. He finished the game without a catch and without a point in fantasy. He should get better as the season progresses.

Sit ‘Em

Of course, I finally jump off the Tom Brady train and he has a great game. He put up 24 points against a pretty stingy Bengal defense, and really brought the Pats back from their awful performance last Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Kirk Cousins made a pretty decent comeback as well. He finished with 23 points after turning the ball over 5 times the week before on Thursday Night Football. He also made this comeback against the Seattle Seahawks, who has the best defense in the league.

So yeah, last week was a pretty bad week for me, but a lot of the other experts had the same names in their articles as me, so I wasn’t the only one. I’ll try to do better this week. Here are my Start ‘Em/Sit ‘Em picks for Week 6.
