In “Start or Sit,” we make a call on players who merit strong starting consideration — and players who might be best on the bench. However, owners should tailor their own lineup strategy to their roster constraints, league rules and other relevant factors.

Here’s our Week 12 rundown:

START

Bengals QB Andy Dalton (vs. Oakland) — When Dalton has had a favorable matchup, he has usually capitalized. For instance, he threw three TDs in each matchup against Cleveland as well as the Week Three win at Washington. In wins at Jacksonville and Kansas City, Dalton threw for a pair of scores and rushed for a TD, too. The Raiders' defense has allowed 16 TDs in the last three games, with half of them coming through the air. Dalton deserves strong starting consideration on Sunday. Which leads me to my next point ... 

Bengals RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis (vs. Oakland) — ... Here's an SAT math question we can all dig: If the Raiders have allowed 16 offensive TDs in the last three games, and eight were passing TDs, how many rushing TDs have they surrendered in this span? The answer, of course, is eight. There's your case to start Mr. Green-Elllis, who rushed for a season-high 101 yards in Sunday's win at Kansas City.
