This week is certainly an interesting one, as we have the annual Thanksgiving special of three Thursday games: Houston at Detroit, Washington at Dallas, and New England at NY Jets. Naturally, within these three games, there are a lot of fantasy sit’em and start’em questions, but this article is only concerned with those guys that fall somewhere in the middle, the tough decisions.

Here, I will offer my insight on who you should start that could be a sneaky play this week in each of the three matchups.

Blue Jays Overhaul

As a Blue Jays fan, I found myself a little depressed after another disappointing season in 2012, marking the 19th straight year in which the Jays finished out of the playoffs. Their starting rotation was a huge question mark after a terrible year from supposed staff ace Ricky Romero and very little depth behind him and Brandon Morrow. On the hitting side, the Jays had a lot of talent, but struggled to stay healthy in 2012. They already had one of the best tandems in the league with two-time Home-run king Jose Bautista paired with budding star Edwin Encarnacion. However, even if Bautista was healthy all season, the rest of the lineup had proven to not be strong enough to compete with the beasts in the American League.

However, the Blue Jays had two extremely valuable things in their favor....

Roddy vs Julio: A Statistical Battle of Two Fantasy Football Studs

By Pat Donnelly (@legendonnelly)
Fantasy Football Staff Writer

Ever since Atlanta traded the farm to acquire Julio Jones in the draft less than 2 years ago big things have been expected from Julio. After a great rookie season in which he posted 959 receiving yards and 8 TDs in only 13 games, fantasy owners debated: Roddy or Julio. In this article, I will take a closer look at two Atlanta stars (as much as I hate to admit it being a huge Saints fan) to see which one is better in both standard and PPR formats. Before diving into stats and analyzing 8 weeks of play-by-plays, I expected Roddy would have a big advantage, but after looking into everything I found it was a lot closer than I expected.

Week 10 Thursday Night Football Fantasy Preview

By Andrew Nichols
Fantasy Football Staff Writer

Welcome to another week of the Thursday Night Football Fantasy Preview. Here you will get simple, no-nonsense advice on who to start and who to sit this week. This works a little differently from other sit-start lists, since I will be naming players outside of the obvious plays, and anyone outside of those obvious starts I don’t mention you can feel free to leave on your bench. Now, let’s get started.

This week, the Jags play the Colts; both teams entered the season with little expectations, but the Colts have legitimate playoff aspirations after winning five of their first eight games. Donald Brown and Vick Ballard shared carries last week, but Brown hasn’t practiced all week, and it appears as though he may be out for this game.

By Josh McFall
Fantasy Football Staff Writer 

As the playoff races start heating up, every person you start or sit could be the difference between a championship and hopeful thoughts for the infamous "next year."

Here are a few players that could help snag a crucial win. A lot of people have written about obvious pickups such as Marcel Reece, James Starks, Chris Ivory and Danny Amendola, but here we will discuss some under the radar pickups that could help put you over the top this week. Keep in mind, grabbing the right person, if even just to sit on your bench, could help prevent one of your opponents from getting a big win. Don't be afraid to play the keep away game.

By Brian Cho
Fantasy Basketball Staff Writer

We have almost finished one week of NBA action and it's a good opportunity to look at some of the breakout stars for the year. Some of these players are already off to great starts, but with only a few games of NBA action so far this season, the price of acquiring one of them may be cheaper then it will be later in the season when everyone realizes how valuable these players are.
