Daily Haze

With it being the holidays and all this will be an abbreviated version of Start & Sit for all you week 17ers out there. Hope Santa treated you well and brings you a late Christmas present in the form of a fantasy championship this weekend.

Start ‘em: AFC West quarterbacks not named JaMarcus Russell (so Rivers, Cutler and Thigpen for those of you who need more literal instructions). Seneca Wallace is a nice sleeper candidate. Now stud running backs Michael Turner and Matt Forte. Greg Jennings and Andre Johnson. Owen Daniels at tight end.

Sit ‘em: Brett Favre and his tired arm. Also Peyton Manning only because he may not play much. Is anyone still relying on Jamal Lewis? Hope not. Joseph Addai and Dominic Rhodes for the same reasons as Manning. Antonio Bryant, because he goes up against a shut-down secondary. Anquan Boldin because he may be limited after missing last weekend. Jeremy Shockey because he may miss the action versus Carolina.
