Week 9 Start/ Sit Part 3: WRs

For the previous parts:
Week 9 Start/ Sit Part 1: QBs
Week 9 Start/ Sit Part 2: RBs

This is Part 3 of the starts and sits for Week 9:

WR

Start 'Em

Victor Cruz (at Patriots)- this is the second straight week that a wide receiver going against New England's defense is in this list. With Hakeem Nicks likely out, Cruz should be able to take advantage of this great matchup against the Patriots secondary.

Julio Jones (at Colts)- Jones is expected to be back this week and gets a great matchup in his return against Indianapolis' defense. He still has not been able to reach the endzone this season, but this could easily change Week 9 against the Colts.

Antonio Brown (vs. Ravens)- this is the second straight week that Brown makes this list. Hines Ward is back, but Emmanuel Sanders will be out and Brown should be able to continue posting up solid numbers in Pittsburgh's surprising passing attack.

Sit 'Em

Nate Washington (vs. Bengals)- this is the second straight week that a wide receiver going up against Cincinnati's defense makes this list. Washington had a nice game last week against the Colts, but if you are expecting similar results this week up versus a much tougher Bengals defense then you should be prepared to be disappointed.

Plaxico Burress (at Bills)- Burress had 3 touchdowns in Week 7 against the Chargers, but there is no reason to expect something similar out of him this Sunday against Buffalo. The Bills have been very stingy in giving up touchdowns to wide receivers and Burress should be no exception.

Steve Johnson (at Jets)- Johnson is on pace for 1,000 receiving yards, but that pace will be be slowed down this week by Darrelle Revis. The Jest defense will likely have Revis shadow Johnson and anyone expecting great numbers out of Johnson with this matchup is crazy.


The remaining parts will be up soon and the links will be added to the this post. All parts are done and posted.
Part 4 is up: Week 9 Start/ Sit Part 4: TEs
Part 5 is up: Week 9 Start/ Sit Part 5: Ks and Defenses
