NFL Start Em Sit Em

Obviously you’ll be putting a lot of emphasis on wide receivers in your NFL start em sit em lineup, but there are other players you’ll want to consider. The Patriots’ running backs, for example, will lose a lot of targets to the Denver Broncos, but you can also look at wide receivers such as Robert Woods and Courtland Sutton. In Los Angeles, you’ll also want to consider WRs Cooper Kupp and Davante Adams. The Chargers’ tight end, on the other hand, will be difficult to rely on due to the presence of Aaron Jones and a weak pass defense.

If you’re relying on PFF rankings and positional projections to help you make a lineup, start Geno Smith. He’s been a top-three quarterback since Week 3, and his matchup with the Seahawks should bump him up even more. You can also look to the run as well, with Darrell Henderson and D.J. Moore potentially making it a three-man committee for your running back lineup. Dak Prescott’s high upside is likely to increase after a bye week, and Geno Smith is a good pick against a Bengals secondary with many injured players.

Another quarterback to consider is Jay Cutler, who hasn’t quite gotten his act together yet, but is facing elite cornerbacks and a weak D/ST. The Cowboys are the best at defending quarterbacks and receivers. If Cutler doesn’t get going, he’s a great option to sit and get someone else to start.

In PPR, you’ll want to keep a few players on your bench, and a couple of them are already fading. For starters, the Chiefs’ defense is still a very solid unit, but without Darrelle Revis and Shaun Draughn, it’s hard to imagine it would be that good. The Chargers, meanwhile, have a depleted secondary. Finally, the Broncos are at TEN, a prime spot for a top wide receiver.

Another great player to consider is Ken Walker. His last three games have seen him gain more than 200 rushing yards. Other top fantasy running backs include Derrick Morgan and Rhamondre Stevenson. If you’re looking to add a running back, you’ll also want to look at Joe Mixon and Derrick Morgan.

For the rest of your starts, you’ll want to avoid the quarterbacks on the Chargers and Packers. Both of those teams have good defenses. If you have to pick a quarterback, go with someone with a good run defense. If you’re unsure, you can always go with a backup. The Buccaneers have a decent D/ST and good defense. You’ll also want to consider Ahmad Bradshaw, who has good fantasy upside against the Eagles’ defense.

If you’re in need of a running back, you might want to consider the Browns and Dolphins. While their run defenses are not the best, they’re not too bad. If you want to go with a wide receiver, the Cardinals have several options. If you’re in a PPR league, Derek Hagan is a sleeper.
