How do I select my starting lineup in fantasy football season?

In selecting your starting lineup for your fantasy football team, play the best players. I know that sounds obvious, but people get really carried away with matchups. Say you have Peyton Manning and he's playing against a great team, and you then have some other quarterback that's not as good but he's playing against an easy team, you should still go with Peyton Manning, because he's Peyton Manning for a reason. He's going to put up those stats, unless he is playing the 86, you know Bears, he's going to do pretty well. Now when you have a choice between two running backs or two wide receivers for you starting lineup in your fantasy football team, and they're close in talent, that's where you want to go to matchups. You want to look to see who is playing an easier team, you could look to see which defense they're going against, if it is better against the run or better against the pass. And this is where you want to go to the fantasy football sites. They'll rank players every week, who are the best players to play, who are the best matchups and the worst matchups, and they can give you some help there with your fantasy football starting lineup
