2012 Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em for Week 11-  11/15/12

 

 

 

Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em – Week 11

 

 

Bye Week Teams

Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans

 

 

 

Every week, there are certain fantasy studs who you simply have to start no matter what. Tom Brady, Adrian Peterson and A.J. Green fall into that category, to name a few. There are also a good number of players you should probably sit each week as well. But then, there are those players whom you have no idea whether to start or sit. Here are a few not-so-obvious guys at each major fantasy position who you might not know what to do with, but for whom the stats and other information dictates one way or the other.
