Week five of the NFL is here and this week’s match-up is the New England Patriots against the Indianapolis Colts. Who should you start and who should you sit in fantasy football?

After some fun games the last two weeks on Thursday Night Football, this week fans get one that’ll more than likely be a stinker. There are some players that, for fantasy football sake, could be exciting to watch, but otherwise this game heavily favors the New England Patriots.

The Patriots are 2-2 and coming off a shellacking of the previously undefeated Miami Dolphins. The Pats put the beatdown on the Fins and wanted to prove that they’re still the top of the crop when it comes to not only the AFC East, but the entire AFC as well.

Indianapolis is sitting 1-3 on the year with their lone win coming against the Redskins in week two. The Colts had a chance to tie with the Texans last week, but head coach Frank Reich opted to go for it on fourth down in their own territory in overtime rather than punt the ball away and play for the tie. I honestly don’t blame him. Coaches need to be more aggressive and who really likes tying?

Anyway, who should fantasy owners start and sit in this week’s Thursday night battle? Let’s take a looky loo.
