Fantasy College Football: Week 5: Start 'Em or Bench 'Em

After four awesome weeks in college football, the fantasy season is actually starting to come down to the final stretch. Most leagues run playoffs in the last three weeks of the season, so there is not much time left to get a few wins under your belt.

Keep in mind this is just another tool to use, your final decision is yours and yours alone!? If you see a player that is normally a fantasy stud in the “Bench ‘Em” portion, it is usually either the matchup or the fact that his respective team may take the starters out early. Also, keep in mind about your league's scoring system, if you do not get full points against certain opponents, take that into consideration.

Here are my picks for the week:

1. Tyler Murphy, Florida vs. Kentucky
2. Chuckie Keeton, Utah State vs. San Jose State
