We're officially more than a quarter of the way through the season with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennesee Titans set to square off to begin Week 6 on Thursday.
Several big-name players take a seat with the Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears, Jacksonville Jaguars, and New Orleans Saints all on byes this week.
We've given some tips on who we believe can fill the void for some of those players, as well as for some of your injured starters. The players we've chosen to sit are ones you believe you should have tempered expectations for this week and if you have a better option, go with it.
This week, some players are included that can still be snatched up on the waiver wire and could make immediate contributions for your team.
The advice we've given is based on 10-team standard leagues.
START: Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts Quarterback vs. NYJ
With several of the top tier quarterbacks from the beginning of the season faltering (Michael Vick, Cam Newton, Tony Romo), Luck has been extremely reliable. In four games, he's gone over 300 yards and thrown two touchdowns three times.
Season Total (four gms.): 96/177, 1,208 yards, seven touchdowns, five interceptions
16 carries, 104 yards, one touchdown
SIT: Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys Quarterback at BAL
Romo has been a whole different story. He's been rattled by the limited protection his offensive line has provided and has only five touchdowns this year. He should bounce back at some point, just not against Baltimore.
Season Total: 101/151, 1,148 yards, five touchdowns, eight interceptions
12 carries, 12 yards
START: Michael Turner, Atlanta Falcons Running Back vs. OAK
Turner has bounced back from a few hiccups in the first two games when he struggled to run for more than 42 yards. Since then, he's averaging 5.6 yards per carry and he's always a threat to score near the goal line.
Season total: 73 carries, 324 yards, three touchdowns
Eight catches, 71 yards, one touchdown
