NFC NORTH

SIT: Running Back, Ameer Abdullah – Detroit Lions

I vow to never label Abdullah a fantasy football breakout candidate. Again.

START: Chicago Bears Defense

Jimmy Garoppolo looked good in his one series last week. In a game that was over. Against a soft defense. Chicago is neither soft, nor over.

SLEEPER: Green Bay Defense

The Buccaneers offense hasn’t been the greatest, and if the frozen tundra gets to them, the defense could have a solid outing.

AFC NORTH

SIT: Quarterback, Andy Dalton – Cincinnati Bengals

I once started Andy Dalton because Jay Cutler was my regular fantasy football quarterback and was on a bye. Yes, I was winning with Cutler at quarterback. Anyway, the Bengals played a Monday Night Football game and Dalton got me negative points. Yep. The dreaded streamer got you fewer points than the guy on a bye. Avoid Dalton in prime time.

START: Wide Receiver, Antonio Brown – Pittsburgh Steelers

How do you not start Brown? One of the best receivers in the league is coming off a hot game, and is looking to put another one on a division rival. Put him in, and get ready for the show.

SLEEPER: Running Back, Alex Collins – Baltimore Ravens

Collins owners were probably a little disappointed he didn’t get used more last week. However, he showed again he can be reliable, and the more he does the more he should get used.
