PLAYER SBW's DMUs Recommended Options

Everybody has a fantasy football cheatsheet, but our exclusive Fantasy Football Cheatsheet Plus takes fantasy football cheatsheets to a whole new level. The purpose of the Cheatsheet Plus is to help you build a team that will be competitive every week of the season.

Here's how it works:

We take the top 12 ranked players at QB, RB, and WR and provide the folowing information:

1. Players at the same position with the same bye week. This will include all players at that position that we have ranked in the top 40.

2. DMU's (Difficult Match-ups). These are games that you may want to consider benching your starter in favor of a player with a more favorable match-up. Obviously with players like Peyton Manning and LaDanian Tomlinson the only thing that matters is having a back-up with a favorable match-up on theri bye week, but other players may need to be benched occasionally due to DMUs.

3. The Recommended Options list is based on a players schedule not only for the Bye week but also takes into consideration their schedule for the weeks where your starter is facing a DMU. Other factors taken into consideration include, home vs. road, potential weather problems and significance of late-season games. For QBs the back-ups recommended are taken from our 2nd tier QB rankings. Our RB and WR recommendations are taken from our 3rd tier players since we expect that by the time you begin to draft specific back-ups the 2nd tier (ranked 13th to 24th) will be off the board.

The complete Cheatsheet Plus as well as a print friendly version will be available to Xtreme Team members.

Ben Roethlisberger Bye-6

Despite our questions re: the Jaguar offense, Leftwich's schedule makes him a slightly better 1st back-up option for Roethlisberger owners. Green plays favorable teams but is on the road in potential weather sites for Wks. 6 & 14. We like Young's Wks. 6 & 17 but aren't crazy about his Wk. 14 match-up with the Chargers even though it's at home.
