Week 8 Start ’em
Mike Wallace, Mia WR
Before the season started, I would preach to anyone who would listen how Mike Wallace will have a productive fantasy year in 2014. So far my analysis seems to be on point.
Wallace is on pace to set career marks in receptions and touchdowns and has been as consistent as they come this season. Matter of fact, Wallace has scored in five of the six games he has played in and has broken double-digit scoring (standard scoring) in four of six games as well, with his lowest point total being a respectable eight points. This week he faces off against the 32nd-ranked pass defense in the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have already allowed 92 receptions for 1,367 receiving yards and five touchdowns to opposing teams wide receivers this season.
I have Wallace as a Top 15 play this week with the potential to put up Top 10 numbers against this porous pass defense. So don’t overthink this and set him in your lineup, it’s that easy.

Week 8 Sit ’em
Denard Robinson, Jac RB
What a big game from the OW (offensive weapon) last week, 127 rushing yards on 22 carries and a touchdown. Yet this week I have him on my sit column, so you ask, what gives Sid says?
Well, let me tell you… Last week he had a perfect matchup to produce good numbers as the Cleveland Browns have the worst run defense in the league. This week he will not have it as easy. The Miami Dolphins present a formidable opponent as they have been one of the stingiest on the ground; they have allowed only 602 rushing yards in six games and have giving up four rushing touchdowns. In their last three games they are on average giving up 12 points to running backs and have allowed only one 100-yard rusher on the season.
I’m not expecting a big game from Robinson, I think he will actually be very pedestrian this week and closely resemble the guy he is replacing, Toby Gerhart. If you picked him on the waiver wire, you may want to wait another week before playing him–don’t say I didn’t tell you.
