Start or Sit Week 9 2009

Start Matt Hasselbeck SEA - Gets to stay at home and wait for the Lions and the 17 TD passes they have allowed this season.
Start Donovan McNabb PHI - McNabb at home on Sunday night.

Sit Ben Roethlisberger PIT - Broncos DF should make things very tough for Big Ben.
Sit Eli Manning NYG - Eli has become unstartable the past couple of weeks, and the Chargers clamp down on the passing attack. Avoid Eli again in Week 9.

Start Ryan Moats HOU - 3 TDs and 150 yards on the ground in Week 8 replacing Steve Slaton. Moats may not be the lead back, but with bye weeks still in full-force, no one is hotter at the moment.
Start Brandon Jacobs NYG - The Bolts DF has been quite generous to rushers in '09. Jacobs looks to build off momentum of his last two contests.
Start Jamaal Charles KC - The heir-apparent to LJ should get his first start of the season in Jacksonville.

Sit Cadillac Williams TB - The Packers have allowed two rushing TDs this season - both to AP of the Vikings.
Sit Laurence Maroney NE - Maroney had two useful fantasy games in a row, but with the Patriots pass-first offense back from a week of rest, and Faulk, Green-Ellis and maybe Sammy Morris around, you can't trust any of them.
Sit Knowshon Moreno DEN - Faces yet another installment of the Steel Curtain and will be lucky to break 50 yards on the ground.

Start Malcolm Floyd SD - Elevated to starting unit with release of Chris Chambers.
Start Mike Sims-Walker JAX - Chiefs are very generous to opposing WRs, and Sims-Walker is a budding star that won't have too many stinkers in a row.
Start Michael Crabtree SF - You've used him the past two weeks if you own him, and have been content with the results. Game against Titans offers real chance for 100 yards and his first TD.

Sit Mohamed Massaquoi CLE - This #1 WR is barely worth a place on your bench with the state of the Browns QBs, offense, and front office.
Sit Eddie Royal DEN - Chance for a comeback has long since passed. Unless your league heavily rewards individual return yardage points, Royal has 0 value.
Sit Pierre Garcon IND - Garcon nowhere to be found, while Collie, Wayne, Addai and Clark thrive in the Colts offense.

Start Fred Davis WAS - Chris Cooley is going to miss the next three weeks. Davis had 8 receptions for 78 yards and 1 TD in his first game of full-time work in Week 7 when Cooley got hurt.
Start Kellen Winslow TB - Nothing else may work for the Bucs this Sunday, but the Packer DF has given up 5TDs to TEs in '09. And Winslow still has a nose for the endzone.

Sit Heath Miller PIT - The Broncos have only allowed 20 receptions and 192 yards all season to opposing TEs. Miller may be targeted frequently still, but don't expect much production.
Sit Todd Heap BAL - Even with bye weeks you should have a better option on your bench or on waivers than Heap. Continues his fade into irrelevance.

Start Olindo Mare SEA - Seahawks host the Lions in Week 9, and DET is the most generous DF against kickers in the league.
Start Josh Scobee JAX - Jaguars host the Chiefs, and KC is just as generous as its Motown buddies when it comes to helping out random fantasy kickers.

Sit Dan Carpenter MIA - Dolphins have to travel up to NE for what is potentially another bad-weather game. Pats clamp down on points allowed.
Sit John Carney NO - The Saints offense rarely stalls, and the few times it does, Carney usually blows the FG. Infrequent opportunities, and down-right terrible, over 30 yards.

Start Packers GB - TB starts rookie Josh Freeman in Week 9.
Start Colts IND - The Texans, in theory, should struggle with the loss of Owen Daniels and potential changes at the RB position.

Sit Chargers SD - The Bolts have been on a nice role, but the Giants are going to snap out of their funk eventually. Away game for Chargers in cold weather on the East Coast.
Sit Bears CHI - I just have a feeling that Warner lights up the Bears for some hefty numbers.
