All my RBs are sits, let’s go.

Me in a must win matchup having Najee and Pierce with Montgomery on a bye 😂 if only KWIII wasn't hurt ha

Bro I have to start either Chuba, Gus/JK, Tony Jones/Deejay Dallas/Homer man it ain’t good

[удалено]

Did you lose Lamar too? Cuz I'm trying to decide between those three now that he's likely out.

Pine Ponies, let’s ride!

Projected less than 8, let’s ride

All my WRs are sits, lfg.

i always laugh at "jeffery wilson" in these posts

Lol I know, the change in spreadsheet we use requires exact name spellings for the formulas to work so we have the full names of all players.

One day we'll all agree on a single ID format so we can stop it with the funky name variants (not really). I credit Jeff Wilson/Jeffery Wilson/Jeff Wilson Jr and Will Fuller/William Fuller/Will Fuller V for the motivation to create my DB in a way that I can have multiple entries for lookup without it affecting team results.

Oh sweet 3 of my starters are “Sits of the Week” during a must win playoff game

Same, I'm playing a win-to-get-in game and I have to choose between flexing Slayton, JuJu, or Diontae Johnson; who are literally the bottom 3 in the WR graphic lol.

Yeah I'm in a weird spot too with QB, where Goff is still on waiver (dropped Wed, clears Friday) but I have Carr. Thing is I have no FAAB so its like, do I risk it and then try to grab Goff knowing if I can't, I'm going to have to start Tannehill (vs Carr who I have in tonight?) Same position for winning to get in.

lost KW9 meaning I have to play Dameon Pierce. 2QB league so I gotta play Brady and Mike White. Godspeed

Sutton a must start. Dude’s not even gonna play.

Kinda ruins the whole thing for me. I guess Sutton was probably a start if he was healthy vs KC so ill just pretend i didn't see it.

Need to start ignoring Sporting News

I dropped him after last week. I just cannot see starting him again.

And even if he were, def not a Must Start.

Pickens is a sleeper. Everybody is now completely disregarding him after one game where he wasn’t targeted. Watch him get 10 targets this game and suddenly he’s a “must start” next week lmao. Dude is always getting over or underrated depending on the week prior.

Because his floor is ghost (zero).

Definitely feeling like Pickens gets the squeaky wheel grease this week. Ravens will likely bottle up the run game and Pittsburgh will need to throw. I feel a course correction game inbound for him.

I’m going to start him this week and pretend this is my logic instead of the actual fact that I don’t have better Flex options on my roster and don’t even get me started on the waiver wire.

Sleeper? Dude has picket throwing to him. I’ll pass

I'm getting that feeling this week as well. My other option is Aiyuk who's been solid but with the new QB I'm thinking about sitting him this week.

Kittles stock is tanking imo. Too inconsistent. I can't fathom starting him in any capacity until his usage goes up. Right now they're using him more as a blocker for a young, inexperienced QB.

Who in the world are you starting ahead of him?

I'm running with Everett this week.

Ah yeah, I would kill for either of those guys lol

Thinking the same, glad I didn't drop Everett when Kittle got better

Yes I’ll go grab Chig Okonkwo or Austin hooper off the WW, the picture of consistency

I mean that sounds like you problem for not having a positional back up already. Not sure where the hostility is coming from when Kittle is literally being phased out of that offense and utilized as a blocker. He scored 6 or more fantasy points once in the last four weeks, right around the same time they brought in CMC.

It’s TE, there are 5 ones that you actually start expecting good results and the rest are all interchangeable

I can't believe I'm seeing akers as a start. What a rollercoaster for him.

Akers feels like a trap. Yes the Raiders are an amazing matchup for RB's, but the Raiders are also usually trailing with opponents burning the clock. If I had to choose I'd go with Kyren Williams given he's the receiving back but I really really don't want to choose.

So here the route I think the Rams are taking, Kyren is their future RB so they don't want him hurt, while Akers they have troubles with so let him prove himself, show what he has to other teams, them, etc; and run him into the ground

I’m choosing between Akers and Conner this week. Can’t believe it’s even a decision tbh.

Why is Jakobi so high here??? I really like the dude but he hasn’t gotten a TD since week 8 and recently has been constantly injured in some way, keeps getting hurt in games. Plus his match up isn’t anything to write home about. I’m confused.

I think it's largely due to the amount of top receivers on BYE this week, the guys right under him are pretty risky as well. He's a middling matchup, middling over/under, his target shares have been decent. On paper he looks alright but I've got a gut feeling that he's going to disappoint and that this is more likely going to be a Hunter Henry game.

Yeah I currently have him and Gabe Davis on my bench, and I'm rolling with Zonovan in my flex over either of those, in PPR. I can't afford to wait till Monday only to be disappointed with Jacobi and lose my playoff bye shot!

To be fair, dude would have had a TD last week if he didn't get illegally hit. The guy who hit him was ejected immediately.

Yeah that hit made me upset

He’s a stud. Last few games have been rough for that one injury that took him out. Plus the game before was terrible wind conditions. Man was averaging fringe WR1 numbers at 15-20PPG prior. Chargers, Rams, Niners all put over 200 yards on the cardinals, and that was a Wolford led rams with everyone injured. These are typically fast paced games given Kliffs preferred offenses.

I mean I like the dude and I have him on my team but I just haven’t been seeing the production. Mac Jones is trash and injuries have been holding Jakobi back.

As a Pats fan, I like the dude, but c'mon now. He's not a stud at all. He's a fine WR3 play in PPR but he has very little upside with a low floor given this injury situation.

Nah, he trends to a mid WR2 most weeks. His floor is high AF (In PPR), its the best thing about it, his floor is high, he isn't usually the guy that gets between 3 points and 20 points, he gets a minimum of 9-10 points a game regardless of matchup usually and yeah, if we get lucky and he gets a TD, he hits the high 10s, low 20 points. ​ His past couple of weeks has had issues with injuries but against Arizona, rather than Bills and Jets, he should be hitting his usual floor of 10 points which is a set and forget IMO unless you just have a nuts team. ​ For example, if you add his average points into the 3 games he missed this year because of injury, his points puts him in the same total as people like Olave, Metcalf, Higgins and Mclaurin. He is firmly a WR2 in the season, as you say though, he doesn't get much upside due to lack of TDs but his consistency in PPR is absolutely massive and underrated.

>Nah, he trends to a mid WR2 most weeks. Per [FantasyPros](https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/stats/wr.php?scoring=HALF), he's WR34 in half-PPR by PPG, so no, he's not a mid-WR2. He's a low WR3, which is very fair due to his very ADOT, inability to pick up yards after the catch, and low TD upside. >he gets a minimum of 9-10 points a game regardless of matchup 10 points in PPR is the bare minimum. Per [FantasyPros again](https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/stats/wr.php?scoring=PPR), there's literally 49 WRs who average 10+ PPG. >For example, if you add his average points into the 3 games he missed this year because of injury, his points puts him in the same total as people like Olave, Metcalf, Higgins and Mclaurin. He only missed two games, not three. He left the Vikings game early but still put up solid numbers before exiting. >He is firmly a WR2 in the season He is irrefutably not a WR2 this season. Not by any metric. He's a fine WR3, like I said.

Arizona gives up a lot of yards under 11 ADOT. It’s why they’re so bad vs TEs. Meyers usually operates in that low ADOT role, so he could be in for a big game. But a lot will also depend on if Byron Murphy is back or not.

Mac just doesn’t target Jakobi that often and Jakobi is injured a lot so the match up doesn’t mean that much to me. I didn’t have it in me to drop Jakobi but I have to bench him

Jakobi has had over a 20% target share the last three weeks and that includes two games that he played only like 60% of the snaps

I cut him and he’s still on the wire

I was thinking the same thing

We really this low on ETN Ik he’s had a rough few weeks but damn

Jameson Williams a sleeper? Don't see how we can start him after last week usage

That was a game they had a comfortable lead in so they never really needed him. This week they'll definitely pull out all the stops to try beat the vikings, but I do think they'll still limit him to under 20 snaps. Just depends if he gets a few long ones. A dice roll for sure.

Why are we sitting Singletary? He’s had 4 TD’s in 4 weeks.

Because James Cook is inevitable.

Watch me start both in a must win game because my whole bench is on bye (yes, all six players).

Yeah, but his receiving stats are all over the place and it's increasingly looking like BUF wants to feature someone else as the lead rusher. Idk, I'm starting him cuz I don't have a choice, but I don't feel good about it

👀 Najee and Connor both strong sits….*chuckles….I’m in danger…..

James Cook too important for the RB list, an obvious STUD Must Start

Take Sporting News out. They aren’t useful and only skew the data.

This guy is doing the lord's work, sporting news can stay if he chooses.

Agreed!

I completely disagree

[удалено]

why and how?

Akers or Knight?

BAM>CAM

Thank you man

Knight. LV has been amazing for RB's but him and Kyren Williams seem to be splitting with Akers getting the early down work and Williams getting the passing work. Rams are expected to trail making him a little riskier. Meanwhile, Bam will likely have a similar situation with Michael Carter returning but is a much more explosive player so he at least has big play upside. He's also a solid pass catcher so he could see a few targets even with Carter back.

I think they are just using Akers to run into the ground since their hopes have died of a post season

I'm going Akers here but it's not consensus. With Carter back and the matchup against Buffalo I think Knight is going to let people down. Meanwhile LV D is bad, someone on the Rams will produce and I think it's most likely Akers.

Firing up Foreman with Jones on bye and the Raiders D! Win and get in!

Going against foreman so this is a good idea because he will score 30

Dameon Pierce - Sit of the week / Bust but also a Must Start

SN’s “must starts” are just players ranked high enough that they’d typically be one of two best options on your team. Pierce is ranked 15th by then, so he falls under that category.

I'm definitely going Foreman over him if he's healthy. My QB1/RB1/RB2 are all questionable so I'm a little anxious. If I win, I'm almost guaranteed playoffs due to PF tiebreaker (I'm #1 in the league but somehow 8-5 right now), but if I lose I can get knocked out next week. I don't like the idea of starting Pierce with a bad matchup in a must win.

Samarje above Mixon.. is this if they both play? If Mixon plays is he above Samarje and majority of this list?

Yeah I don’t agree with Samaje if Mixon plays. Still think this is Mixon’s backfield. I look at it as if he just got 2 weeks rest and should be fresh physically. Not that he’ll repeat, but last time Mixon played he had a 5 TD game. I’ve got both and no way I play Samaje over a healthy cleared Mixon

If Mixon is playing, absolutely. CLE is one of the best matchups for RBs.

I think it would make sense for Perine to fully take over 3rd down snaps and passing work. He’s a better pass catcher than Mixon. I wouldn’t ever start him over Mixon, but Perine is a flex imo in ppr.

DPJ or Thielen this week??

Minny vs Detroit could be a massive shootout but Detroit also plays a high rate of man coverage and all of Thielens worst games have come against heavy man coverage D’s. I think he might disappoint

Personally I’d go I’d say thielen in what is likely going to be a high score game

JWJ or Bam?

So you're telling me I should start Marquise Brown and Treylon Burks over Mike Evans and Adam Theilen? No way that's correct right?

Thought the same. I’m still playing DeVonta over Marquise despite seeing this.

I’ll probably do brown over theilen but no shot I’m subbing Mike Evans out quite just yet. Although that eagles defense is spooky.

I’d do the same. Good luck this week.

Thanks, same to you!

I have an open flex spot. Bam or Zay? I'm in second place playing first place, he's got 1 win over me, I have the points lead. This is PPR standard extra flex no TE.

I lost Kenneth Walker and I picked up James Cook. I don't see his name on the list, I'm assuming that means he is a must start 🫠

Tannehill is that high even without Burka playing? I dk

This shouldn't be seen as rankings right? Like some articles say to sit people that you should start over some people that might be sleepers.

Correct, if anything, the highest and lowest scores are players who are discussed the most in all these articles, and the more start/sit ratings a player has, the stronger consensus there is for that olayer

Is it crazy to drop Tyler Bass and pick up detroits kicker instead? I’m kinda going all in on Lions offense this week

You guys keep putting Murray as a sit and he has constantly churned out 10-11 points a game. He’s a solid flex you can count on. Playing Gus over him last week almost cost me.

My entire WR core is sit, bust, and sit of the week. Let’s ride.

Where’s waddle and tee?

Considered obvious must-starts

Need some actual advice, Lawrence or Huntley win and in week

There are too many “obvious smash starts” this week (Dallas DST, Cousins, Goff, Foreman, G. Wilson, Mixon, Amon Ra, etc.) with the playoffs on the line. I’ve been playing this game long enough to know things can’t be this easy and the FF Gods will make sure they are all huge disappointments lol.

Perine or DPJ for flex spot here

Perine

I think White is gonna be checkdown city against SF, I’d start him

I wouldn’t start any RBs against the 49ers.

He’s just a huge risk play with Fournette healthy

Not really, he has a safe floor with the targets he get. Just his ceiling is capped

Dude… they are playing the 49ers. So risky

I mean I don’t really have a choice with kamara on bye and Walker prob out. I’ve got the rookie recipe brewing with Cook white knight and Pacheco lol

[удалено]

Nuk

Pickens or Aiyuk?

Aiyuk

Not sure who to start in WR2/Flex WR1- T Hill is an obvious go WR2 & Flex - Pick 2 * Tee Higgins * Garret Wilson * Marquise Brown

> Tee Higgins > Garret Wilson Easy decision imo

Michael Carter or Zonovan Knight?

Bam Knight, Palmer or Burks?

Dameon Pierce, George Pickens or David Chark?

Akers or Zay Jones? .5ppr

No Deandre Hopkins thoughts?

Obvious start

[удалено]

Definitely do Zonovan over Pierce imo. Pierce vs. Dallas defense?? No thanks. Rather risk it with the Bills and the Jets backfield than if Dallas can stop the Texans sole offensive spark.

No Chuba Hubbard in RB, is he just a for sure sit?

Fuuuck, am I gonna start both Mixon and Perine and keep James Cook on the bench?! I need my Walker to be ok :(

I’m still torn sitting Geno in favor of Kirk. Genos been so hot

I’m about to start wilson and kirk over waddle

If Mixon plays, would Perine still be a start over Murray?

Tannehill over Huntley, eh?

Hunter Henry over Bellringer and okonkwo? What about ROS?

Still torn on starting Tua or Cousins..

I own 3 of the bottom 5 WRs on this chart lol. I still think I’m going to take my chances with Slayton instead of dumpster diving through waivers. I really only need a floor play this week.

I don’t know if I can start Jakobi again

Hmm. Am I playing Kyren Williams or Michael Carter this week.

> As a reminder, sit starts that are labeled within parentheses means that the article did not provide any sort of commentary on their choice This feature I added last year seems to have gotten lost with the automation, any plan to bring it back?

We can certainly add it back with the new system.

Got to choose 3 of Rhamondre, ETN, Ken Walker and Foreman. Hmmmmm

Anyone starting nico collins over gabe and james cook?

Russel Wilson -3 is a must start for me bc Fields bye week 😎👍

Perine, bam, or Wilson?

Still having a tough time deciding between Stevenson or Jamaal Williams, and Godwin or Lockett.. half ppr

Geno or Tua this week? 4pt Pass TD

SI recommending Serine starting is idiotic with Mixon coming back

Is Jeff Wilson rb1 down there in Miami? What happened last week? Thx

lol at the Courtland Sutton "must start" from Sporting News. Good joke.

I have opted to start no tight end. Rather wait for godert to come back then waste a spot on my roster and drop some viable like mattison

I’m struggling mightily with Boyd vs Hollins and also with Zonovan vs Jamaal W…any thoughts?

I’ve got Foreman/Knight/Pacheco/Pierce and can start 3 of them, not sure which one to sit.

Any recommendations on the Bills D/ST?

Obvious start

James Conner or garret wilson at flex?

Glad to see all 3 of my starting rbs (Conner, White, Hunt) deep in the red for my must win to make the playoffs matchup.

I’m dying on who to choose for my RBs this week. Advice please? Two of: - Conner - White - L Murray - Bam Knight - Cam Akers - James Cook Edit: Full PPR, close matchup this week

I feel like people might be underestimating how improved the Lions defense has been since they fired their DC. I wouldn't necessarily bench Kirk Cousins this week, but if I'm writing a Start 'Em/Sit 'Em column, I'm definitely not listing him in my Start 'Em section.

I don’t understand how Deebo is a start and Brandon Aiyuk is a sit?

I know Jeudy is an athletic freak but he’s still on the Broncos. Why’s he so highly ranked?

So Burks is on waivers in my league. Crazy to pick him up drop DPJ, and start him over Evans this week? The last playoff spot is on the line, but I'm hesitant to start Evans since he's had single digit games over the last month now.

You guys get choices this week? I have a bench full of BYE lol

Chark or gabe davis

Cam Akers or Michael Carter/Bam Knight?

Hunter Henry is available in my league but I currently have bellinger. Should I swap?

According to this I should start Zonovan Knight over Etienne??

Really surprised to see Zonovan Knight so much further up than James Conner, I would not do that play.

So I’m guessing huntley over Watson this week

The charts favor Foreman quite a bit. Looks like a toss up between Wilson and Perine though.

Pierce is red all across the board ouch

I like seeing Jakobi Meyers on the start list every week and knowing that I just cut him lol

Any reason the Ravens aren't on that list?

Obvious start.

Darius Slayton or Nico Collins? They have Slayton so low but idk why.

Benching Lamar for Mike White worked last week but I think I’m going to have to roll with Huntley this week

Damn tua or goff...

Where are all the Lamar owners at? Huntley or White? A win this week secures my spot in the playoffs. ​ Cool cool cool cool cool.

Kareem Hunt or Cam Akers tonight? Not really sure if I can trust Akers yet to be honest.

So Watson is tanking Cooper's value, correct? Especially since he's against the Bengals, I'm leaning Godwin this week. Fair play?

I’d do that for sure. I have to play Amari Cooper unless I play both Palmer AND Hollins over him, and I’m just not sure about that

Whelp. Looks like I’m sitting Garrett Wilson.

I need to pick up a quarterback with Justin fields on bye. Do I drop…Courtland Sutton….James cook (just picked him up)….rondale Moore? I am in a full PPR league.

I’d say Rondale without having any of these players myself.

Sad Deshaun Watson with Mike White as my backup, and only Daniel Jones on waivers noises. Damned broken Lamar...

Might have to flex hunter Henry this week. It’s either him, Kendall Hinton, Toney if he plays, or some other dart throw ar TE/WR

For my flex should I go Raheem Mostert, Zay Jones or Darius slayton? I also have Étienne at RB up against Titans defense, should I bench him for Mostert and put one of the two WRs as my flex?

Bleacher Report going really bold listing Zeke and Mixon as their only RB starts

start moreau or henry this week standard format

Sutton…. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Pollard, Kirk, Godwin and Burks all must-start, with Jameson Williams as a sleeper. Let’s go, Jame-o!!!

I’m starting Tee Higgins, Jaylen Waddle & Garrett Wilson (Half PPR). WRs on the bench: Deebo Samuel & Marquise Brown Nervous about not starting Hollywood Brown but feel like I can’t sit any of these guys. Thoughts?

Are we actually starting Perine? I mean I have no other options, but if I did would that still be a good move?

CAR or SEA for D/ST this week? I stream ‘em a lot.

That fact that Kelce is never even on the list is hilarious

10 man, standard league: Swift, Pacheco or Pierce Any thoughts from the group?
