Start 'Em Sit 'Em for Week 17- Dawgmaticå 12/30/11

Every week, there are certain fantasy studs that you simply have to start no matter what, such as Tom Brady, Maurice Jones-Drew and Calvin Johnson.

There are also a good number of players you know you should sit each week, such as a fringe running back like LaDainian Tomlinson going up against an extremely tough Miami Dolphins rush defense.

And then there are those players whom you have no idea whether to Start 'Em or Sit 'Em.

Here are a few not-so-obvious guys at each major fantasy position that you might not know what to do with, but for whom the stats and other information dictate one way or the other, ESPECIALLY IN WEEK 17 WHERE YOU ARE PLAYING FOR YOUR FANTASY CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
