BarnStormer/BenchWarmer:Your Fantasy Football sit/starts for week 5
Dorian “The Trashman” Colbert, RosterWatch.com

Yes, my similar article from last week was called  BarnStormer/SeatWarmer, but I find the new title has a better ring to it. New name, same great taste though! Here we have  some players who you might not have been starting, but are primed to capitalize this weekend; followed by other players who you might normally start, but don’t have great outlooks for their games this week. Hopefully this helps you get through week 5 and beyond.

Mark Ingram RB Saints: The rookie leads all Saints in red-zone touches and faces the 31st ranked run defense of Carolina this week. We’ve been waiting for that breakout game, and this looks like it could be it.

Greg Olsen TE Panthers: Jeremy Shockey is questionable with a concussion, so look for Olsen to go big against a Saints defense that generally lets tight ends run wild against their linebackers.

Early Doucet WR Cardinals: Top Vikings slot cornerback Antoine Winfield is not going to play this week, so this bodes well for the young WR. TE Todd Heap is also in danger of missing the game, which should bring more looks Doucet’s way.

Kevin Kolb QB Cardinals: I like Kolb this week for the same reason as above. Also, the Vikings have a much tougher run defense than pass defense, so look for him to air it out plenty in this contest.

BenchWarmers
Matt Hasselbeck QB Titans: Hasselbeck has been playing out of his mind as of late, but look for him to look pretty pedestrian against the Steelers’ top ranked pass defense this week. With all the injuries to Pittsburgh’s linebackers and defensive ends, the Titans will have have much more success with the run. On the plus side, RB Chris Johnson should have a solid week.

Sidney Rice WR Seahawks: Look for Rice to face double coverage all day now that teammate WR Mike Williams is inactive. The Giants haven’t allowed allowed a no.1 receiver in the end zone yet this season.

Brandon Jacobs RB Giants: There’s a good chance Jacobs will be out with a mild MCL sprain this week. There’s a better chance that even if he does play, he’ll be stymied by Seattle’s stout front four. Roll with someone else if you have better options.

Kellen WInslow TE Buccaneers: The 49ers, who happen to be playing the Bucs, haven’t allowed a score by a tight end this year. Don’t expect Winslow to buck the trend. He’s looked exceptionally average this year, and he’ll probably be busy much of this game blocking against San Francisco’s tenacious D….fense.
