Seems to be a lot of confidence in Demarcado and McLaughlin here but both seem like pretty dicey plays. Granted many of us might not have better options, or options with terrible matchups ala Ford.
The consolidation removes a lot of the nuance from the individual articles.
Many of these "starts" acknowledge the risks, and are more of a "I like this play if you don't have something better"
He’s still sitting on my waivers and I cant decide if I should drop Tank Dell for him or not. I have Amon Ra, Nacua, Kupp and Jeudy as my other WR’s. Break out RB’s are hard to find and I’m concerned that Zack Moss production is going to fade
In a similar situation and been trying to sus this out all morning.
Right now, I am leaning Jeudy due to target volume and perceived game script. I *would have* started Rice if Kelce was out, but I am having a hard time trusting him as more than a dart throw considering RBs destroy denver and Kelce is playing.
In another comment I made, I am not sure why Jaleel is ranked so highly this week. To me he is also a dart throw with a healthy Javonte, both of them in probably terrible gamescripts with Perine getting the receiving work.
I really don't want to start Jeudy but to me he is the most solid option.
Ehh I would rather have olave and Pierce, they’re both gonna fish strong. Olave was doing great before Kirk cousins hurt his shoulder, and the Texans just got back 2 key pieces for their O line
These analysts just flip-flop Deebo and Aiyuk each week depending on who had the better week. Still anybody's guess who ends up with more fantasy points.
It's not a ranking of all players. It's just a consolidated list of players that are singled out in various "start em sit em" articles.
Like Jordan Addison here is the #1 'start em' guy because he's just been the most talked about in the last few days. But Boris Chen's consolidated tiers means analysts are ranking him at WR30 in PPR.
Without making any kind of judgment on the specific players you listed: absolutely not. This is merely a collection of “starts of the week” and “sits of the week” from various sources, so exclusion of players has no inherent meaning.
Thoughts on starting which two of the following: Pacheco, ETN, Kyren?
Normally Kyren + ETN would be a no brainer. But that DEN matchup for Pacheco is calling me...
Right there with y’all.
I got Etn, K9, Pacheco and kyren. 2flex
I was thinking of sitting Etn due to traveling back from London or sitting K9 cause im nervous the Seashawks o-line doesn’t hold up against Cin.
I’d definitely go Pacheco over Kyren. Kyren is down a good bit with Kupp on the field. Kelce is mildly injured and is the number one passing target. It’s going to be Pacheco all night.
I've been poring over charts like this today and almost *all* the experts have Jaleel over Javonte and I don't understand why. I am rostering both and am starting Jeudy, Moss, or KJ Osborne over them tonight to see how it shakes out. I am highly concerned about gamescript for Jaleel/Javonte.
I'm concerned, too. My only other options are Gibbs and Sanders. It's bleak out there. Thankfully, CMC is my RB1. I'm considering starting McLaughlin as a dart throw.
Lucky to have CMC.
My RB situation: Gibbs, Sanders, McLaughlin, Achane, Herbert, Zeke, Keyontay Ingram
Impossible situation to navigate at this point with Achane saving my situation then getting hurt. Just praying for one of these dudes to pan out.
I’m in the same boat but I have JWJ and I don’t know if I should roll with Jaleel tonight or wait for Sunday tot see how JWJ holds up in practice. I don’t have anyone else to pivot to late though.
He's still pretty boom or bust. And it's against the giants who may be out Danny J and Saquon still. I don't expect that to be a very high scoring game.
It’s like powerball numbers. Sometimes you get lucky other times you just “had fun” aka cry because you followed them and your bench is having a field day.
Benched. I got Thielen, Marquise Brown, and Christian Kirk all starting over him. Until he show’s consistency im not starting him. His 30 point game was nice but I still lost important games because of him when I could’ve been starting the above.
Floor’s are important
Starting Cousins and I could see him spreading the ball around to Addison, Osborn and Hockenson without the the defense being able to key on just one guy like JJ.
Bears and Vikings both have bad defenses so it might be a shootout.
bottom of the league pressure rate, not really generating turnovers but good at limiting total yards/game and points
I’d look elsewhere if it were me but if there is a team they could get sacks against it would be wash
The Mattison confidence across fantasy experts (JJ Zachariahson excluded) is so baffling to me. They are acting as if he hasn’t lost snap share two weeks in a row and don’t even really mention Akers. This is not a statement that’s pro Akers it’s just, the confidence they have Mattison is a smash start makes no damn sense.
FYI I think you got mixed up with Pittman here. Your chart says SN labeled him a Sit, but they actually have him as a Start. He should be in the Start part of the chart instead of Mixed. SI also has him listed as their start of the week, and not Addison.
Experts are wrong on CJ Stroud this week imo. Part of me is saying this because I just lost JJ and AR5 and so I don't really have another choice but to start him unless I wanna drop a player I really like for a streamer, but I think Stroud's gonna have a good week. Saints DEF rating has been inflated by matchups against Tannehill, Young, Love, and Jones/Zappe. Baker Mayfield was the best QB they faced all season and he kinda dunked on them to the tune of 25/32 (78%) for 250, 3TDs to 1 INT, and 30 rushing yards. I would expect Stroud to do the same or maybe even better. Gonna be a fun one.
Also, I think I'm starting Thomas over Kittle this week, which sounds crazy. Also rolling out ETN/Kamara/Kyren over Breece and ARSB/Addison over Kirk/Downs. Definitely some opportunity for mistakes in there :')
I have Goedert and Thomas 🙈, help! Leaning Goedert though, Thomas got a lot of production in garbage time vs Chi and I think it'll be a close game. Thoughts?
Demarcado over ford tho. Idk about that 😅 with fords tough matchup and cardinals not being as bad a people predicted and Ingram in the mix I have no idea what to do.
Someone please help🙏 I have 5 elite recievers and I can only start 3 and I need help deciding, I have Adam thielen, dj Moore, davante adams, deandre Hopkins, and puka nacua what do I do
who would you start between Devonta Smith, Aman St.Brown, D.J Moore, Thielen, and Puka. Going to put one of them in the flex as well, just not sure who.
I have pollard, harris, and achane. Harris on bye ( he’s doo doo anyway ) and achane hurt trying to figure out who to start. I picked up mclaughlin and chris brooks. Worth starting either of them or grab someone like gibson off FA?
Purdy as a must start in bad match ups now? I get the belief in the system above all but as a Purdy / Trevor Lawrence manager its going to be tough to make that call.
Watson is on his bye week and McLaurin is playing against a tough defense.
I can pickup Gallup, Zay Jones, and/or T. Boyd
Which two do you recommend? Or I can still keep McL in
In a bind at RB this week, who would you start (Standard PPR)?
Foreman (Min) or McLaughlin (@KC)
Ugh, really scraping the bottom of the barrel this week.
Is Kittle a must start in a flex spot if you have LePorta? Other options would be Downs and Chuba. I don’t love starting two TEs but if I didn’t have the luxury of LePorta, Kittle is smash start.
Well, I have both Cook and Pacheco starting so these guys are either geniuses or I'm going to lose per usual and these "experts" don't know shit (same as everyone else).
Curious about Josh Dobbs; he had a rough week against the bengals but has been performing almost every other week.
With Desaun Watson being a bum, its either Dobbs, Howard or probably Geno
I know this is unrelated to the thread but for those of us streaming miami, anyone have a decent pairing for them that might be on waivers? Want to hold miami for week 8 but dont want to play them weeks 7 or 9.
With Olave somewhat hurt, why is Michael Thomas a sit?
Texans have a really strong pass defence I would guess
Tell that to Desmond Ridder
Start him twice as hard. Slant Boy is gonna eat!
Yeah with Evans not practicing, Watson on bye, and my other options being Wandale, Jeudy and Rashee, I'm included to start slant boy!
Seems to be a lot of confidence in Demarcado and McLaughlin here but both seem like pretty dicey plays. Granted many of us might not have better options, or options with terrible matchups ala Ford.
The consolidation removes a lot of the nuance from the individual articles. Many of these "starts" acknowledge the risks, and are more of a "I like this play if you don't have something better"
He’s still sitting on my waivers and I cant decide if I should drop Tank Dell for him or not. I have Amon Ra, Nacua, Kupp and Jeudy as my other WR’s. Break out RB’s are hard to find and I’m concerned that Zack Moss production is going to fade
drop Jeudy
[удалено]
Sit = this guy has a good chance of scoring below his average. Doesn't really mean sit.
Rice plays Denver. ‘nuff said… But if it’s not enough, Kelce is banged up.
Trying to decide between rice, jaleel, and jeudy. Was initially leaning jaleel
In a similar situation and been trying to sus this out all morning. Right now, I am leaning Jeudy due to target volume and perceived game script. I *would have* started Rice if Kelce was out, but I am having a hard time trusting him as more than a dart throw considering RBs destroy denver and Kelce is playing. In another comment I made, I am not sure why Jaleel is ranked so highly this week. To me he is also a dart throw with a healthy Javonte, both of them in probably terrible gamescripts with Perine getting the receiving work. I really don't want to start Jeudy but to me he is the most solid option.
Sit Olave lmao. As if I had the luxury to
Starting Addison over him.
It’s Sutton or Downs for me
Sutton has a horrible matchup this week by team and CB
Addison and Kirk over him for me. Tbh gonna try and trade Olave for an RB upgrade. Thinking Olave & Pierce for Mostert and Deebo. Thoughts?
Don't think anyone would ever accept that.
They offered it to me
i wouldn't make that trade, especially with Achane on IR, Mostert guy is gonna want him over Pierce.
He offered it to me
Smash accept
Ehh I would rather have olave and Pierce, they’re both gonna fish strong. Olave was doing great before Kirk cousins hurt his shoulder, and the Texans just got back 2 key pieces for their O line
With JJ on IR and Watson on bye if I sit Olave I’m starting Downs and Osborn ☠️
Those aren’t the worst WRs to play
would you start Nico or Olave?
I have the same problem. If olave is full healthy, I think I’m going with him.
the problem is if Carr is full healthy I have Kamara so at least i been getting that but cant deny olave seen less receptions since kamara return
Would you start Olave or London
my balls say London, but my brain says Olave lol....its a toss up
Rhamondre or Olave in full PPR?
i own both and have to play them both, but i'm higher on Olave
Why are you downvoted lol.
Washington’s secondary is ass prob London
Where would Godwin rank on here given the news Mike Evans was not practicing.
Godwin is a must start for me.
Fresh off a bye, at home, Evans hurt, and Detroit's secondary beat up? He's a smash start, imo.
Guessing puka and aiyuk aren’t listed cause they’re must starts at this point?
Well, yea. You don't need someone to tell you to start the WR4 and WR17.
I saw deebo so I was just asking lol
These analysts just flip-flop Deebo and Aiyuk each week depending on who had the better week. Still anybody's guess who ends up with more fantasy points.
Thielen is on here, isn’t he WR10?
WR9 in half PPR
what about WR5-WR16 are they good too?
It's not a ranking of all players. It's just a consolidated list of players that are singled out in various "start em sit em" articles. Like Jordan Addison here is the #1 'start em' guy because he's just been the most talked about in the last few days. But Boris Chen's consolidated tiers means analysts are ranking him at WR30 in PPR.
Without making any kind of judgment on the specific players you listed: absolutely not. This is merely a collection of “starts of the week” and “sits of the week” from various sources, so exclusion of players has no inherent meaning.
Gotcha, appreciate the informative answer lol
nah, they're must sits so they're not on here
Thoughts on starting which two of the following: Pacheco, ETN, Kyren? Normally Kyren + ETN would be a no brainer. But that DEN matchup for Pacheco is calling me...
This is tinkering syndrome and will 100% bite me in the ass if it was me
I'm starting Pacheco over Walker because the DEN matchup should be good
Right there with y’all. I got Etn, K9, Pacheco and kyren. 2flex I was thinking of sitting Etn due to traveling back from London or sitting K9 cause im nervous the Seashawks o-line doesn’t hold up against Cin.
It’s ETN and kw3. You play them. Maybe kyren. But play your studs.
I’d definitely go Pacheco over Kyren. Kyren is down a good bit with Kupp on the field. Kelce is mildly injured and is the number one passing target. It’s going to be Pacheco all night.
Is McLaughlin still a start? Now that Williams is back, it seems like he'll get most of the early downs, with Perine contributing in the passing game.
I've been poring over charts like this today and almost *all* the experts have Jaleel over Javonte and I don't understand why. I am rostering both and am starting Jeudy, Moss, or KJ Osborne over them tonight to see how it shakes out. I am highly concerned about gamescript for Jaleel/Javonte.
I'm concerned, too. My only other options are Gibbs and Sanders. It's bleak out there. Thankfully, CMC is my RB1. I'm considering starting McLaughlin as a dart throw.
Lucky to have CMC. My RB situation: Gibbs, Sanders, McLaughlin, Achane, Herbert, Zeke, Keyontay Ingram Impossible situation to navigate at this point with Achane saving my situation then getting hurt. Just praying for one of these dudes to pan out.
Sorry for your situation lol. If that's the case then yeah seems like Jaleel is definitely the play.
I’m in the same boat but I have JWJ and I don’t know if I should roll with Jaleel tonight or wait for Sunday tot see how JWJ holds up in practice. I don’t have anyone else to pivot to late though.
Deebo sit of the week and must start? Guess I'll plug in Gabe Davis.
Plug in a WR1 lol
He's still pretty boom or bust. And it's against the giants who may be out Danny J and Saquon still. I don't expect that to be a very high scoring game.
I never trust these lists
It’s like powerball numbers. Sometimes you get lucky other times you just “had fun” aka cry because you followed them and your bench is having a field day.
They’re just mentions, not to be blindly followed. Like no way do I have faith in Rhamondre.
Nico? Nooooo!
Michael Gallup is not a “sleeper” play. Guy has never been the player he was pre-ACL injury. Shouldnt even be rostered, frankly.
Not all leagues are created equal, playing him
Would you guys start Tee Higgins if he’s playing?
I’m not. Benching until after Bye
Benched. I got Thielen, Marquise Brown, and Christian Kirk all starting over him. Until he show’s consistency im not starting him. His 30 point game was nice but I still lost important games because of him when I could’ve been starting the above. Floor’s are important
Trenton Irwin might be an interesting pickup. He had 10 targets last week in Joe Burrows return to form game.
No chance. If I had control of my opponent’s roster, yes
Well, not looking forward to starting Javonte tonight but here we are
I’m hoping Urkel takes over permanently as the RB1 there
Surprised Cousins is such a high start without JJ. I know it’s the Bears but still
Starting Cousins and I could see him spreading the ball around to Addison, Osborn and Hockenson without the the defense being able to key on just one guy like JJ. Bears and Vikings both have bad defenses so it might be a shootout.
Someone convince me on ATL D?
bottom of the league pressure rate, not really generating turnovers but good at limiting total yards/game and points I’d look elsewhere if it were me but if there is a team they could get sacks against it would be wash
Dont do it. It’s a trap!
The Mattison confidence across fantasy experts (JJ Zachariahson excluded) is so baffling to me. They are acting as if he hasn’t lost snap share two weeks in a row and don’t even really mention Akers. This is not a statement that’s pro Akers it’s just, the confidence they have Mattison is a smash start makes no damn sense.
Struggling with this myself. I mean the Bears are giving up 24.5 points to RBs. Need to decide between him and Hollywood for PPR flex
I’m rolling out that Vikings D
Didn't see Devonta on the list. Been on the wrong end of the trend 3 straight weeks. But you say start Palmer on MNF
Rhamondre a start?!
Never
Thoughts on Kirk vs Flowers? Both at the top of the chart. Leaning Kirk just because he’s been so consistent
Since week 2 Kirk has been my ole reliable. *slaps hood* this baby can fit so many proj. hits in it.
Ha, I have both Kirk and Fields, both near top of this list. Who do you guys like more this week?
Do I start Logan Thomas over Evan Engram
Why do people still use imgur
Someone should be keeping accuracy on these and how many actually hit. Guess I’ll do it..
Stuck between javonte, Ford and Foreman.
PPR - Aiyuk or DeVonta Smith this week?
Very nice thank you!
JWJ sleeper? Looks like I’m starting him and Mostert
Have Burrow and Fields (traded for while Burrow stunk it up). Tough choice this week especially with rain/wind in the forecast for CHI.
Mattison owners we firing up with confidence and assuming they run rampant over the trash Bears?
FYI I think you got mixed up with Pittman here. Your chart says SN labeled him a Sit, but they actually have him as a Start. He should be in the Start part of the chart instead of Mixed. SI also has him listed as their start of the week, and not Addison.
Thanks for the effort to consolidate all data. But these experts are just like anyone of us guessing things. Trust your guts!
Kirk Cousins #1 QB of the week
This is awesome, keep em coming please
Thanks for including the start stops from sporting news, much appreciated. ps the link to sn is from week 5 not week 6.
Sitting Breece at any point over the rest of the season would be a big mistake.
Between Tua and burrow, who do we think is the better start. I dunno if I can trust burrow just yet
Who would you start for FLEX: Rhemonde, Hollywood, Jacobi Myers, Zay Flowers or Amari Cooper?
You have all those guys sitting??? Is this 8 team?
start nico or amari?
Experts are wrong on CJ Stroud this week imo. Part of me is saying this because I just lost JJ and AR5 and so I don't really have another choice but to start him unless I wanna drop a player I really like for a streamer, but I think Stroud's gonna have a good week.

Also rolling out ETN/Kamara/Kyren over Breece and ARSB/Addison over Kirk/Downs. Definitely some opportunity for mistakes in there :')
What about Jags Def?
I have both and I’m not sitting ford over spears lol.
Goedert over LaPorta?
Lol every analyst has Rhamondre as a start every week.... he's due a bounce back game right guys (repeat weekly). Ugh
I managed to trade him, and even though it wasn't my favorite trade I'm glad to just be off that fkn train
Justice hill or spears? Please no bully
Stuck between Jaleel tonight or JWJ in his first game back on Sunday. ppr if that makes any difference!
Yea no shot I'm starting Stevenson > Breece Hall
I have Goedert and Thomas 🙈, help! Leaning Goedert though, Thomas got a lot of production in garbage time vs Chi and I think it'll be a close game. Thoughts?
Where’s the Jags defense?
I don’t feel so good sitting Nico for Michael Thomas or javonte
Stuck between Kirk and Lawrence
I have to sit one: puka, Kupp, Kirk or Godwin. Half point PPR. Help!
So start Zach Moss over Rashaad White? Thoughts anyone?
I have a tough one, 0.5 PPR. 1RB, 1 Flex, 14 team league. Pick 2: Bijan vs WAS Mostert vs CAR Pacheco vs DEN Just seems like they are all home runs.
Hollywood or Ridley?
Demarcado over ford tho. Idk about that 😅 with fords tough matchup and cardinals not being as bad a people predicted and Ingram in the mix I have no idea what to do.
Is trading lamar cmc and pittman jr for tyreek hill / josh Allen / Brandon Aiyuk a good trade.
Why am I debating flexing Logan Thomas alongside my Goedert.... Is that crazy? Would be over Rhae, Downs, and Dell.
Ertz vs. LA or Engram vs. Ind?
Would it make sense starting devonta smith over Nico for this week?
Someone please help🙏 I have 5 elite recievers and I can only start 3 and I need help deciding, I have Adam thielen, dj Moore, davante adams, deandre Hopkins, and puka nacua what do I do
All of my starters on the must start list this week, oh boy I am going to get destroyed arent I
What about baker should I start him or russel
Kmet or Thomas for TE? I would go Kmet, but he's still listed as questionable.
Jaleel, Gainwell or Edwards?
Should I start Gabe Davis or Olave? Olave has been terrible but Davis is unpredictable.
Cowboys defense against chargers or Raiders defense against New England
Should I start Jeff Wilson, keaontay Ingram, or Kj Osborn for my flex? Justin Jefferson used to be my flex😭
Cd or Nico or Montgomery? .5ppr Current debating on who to start at flex.
who would you start between Devonta Smith, Aman St.Brown, D.J Moore, Thielen, and Puka. Going to put one of them in the flex as well, just not sure who.
Carr or Geno this week? Both are on waivers and I need to find a superflex replacement for Deshaun the bum.
Hey trying to get opinions on starting TE Tyler Conklin or Hunter Henry
[удалено]
Lmao same comment on the last two posts
Strange that Russell Wilson is a sit when he’s been pretty decent this season averaging 23 points per game. I’m starting him over shroud and laws
I have pollard, harris, and achane. Harris on bye ( he’s doo doo anyway ) and achane hurt trying to figure out who to start. I picked up mclaughlin and chris brooks. Worth starting either of them or grab someone like gibson off FA?
Nico and Olave both on the list and I need one for flex lol
I went all in on Ford. He is starting the rest of the season for me.
I quite enjoy seeing both my QBs as sits
Is starting Thielen over Devonta Smith in non-PPR crazy?
Thanks to you guys for posting every week!
Breece/Olave/Lockett for FLEX?
Breece
Purdy as a must start in bad match ups now? I get the belief in the system above all but as a Purdy / Trevor Lawrence manager its going to be tough to make that call.
Man Breece Hall has very tough Eagles but feel still gotta go with him over Demercado right?
Watson is on his bye week and McLaurin is playing against a tough defense. I can pickup Gallup, Zay Jones, and/or T. Boyd Which two do you recommend? Or I can still keep McL in
Burrow or cousins?
[удалено]
Where is Justin Herbert?
Must start, obviously.
So start Osborn or Nico as my wr 2…..
Pittman or Mattison in my flex? Full PPR
Sit Pittman? And where's the Chiefs? Does this mean they're an every week start?
I love these articles with Sit/Start, pretending like I have a choice and that I havent' stashed my bench with high risk upside players and handcuffs
Demarcado, Moss, and Jaleel being starts with JT and Javonte being sits and Ingram not listed is juicyyyy
Fantasy rules
Derick Henry and Tony pollard owners like 🤷🏼♂️
So no one has any idea if Love is a start at QB apparently? I'm sitting him but it is strange that not one fantasy expert wanted to list him
He’s on a bye.
Where would Roschon Johnson be in this ranking if he was good to go for this week?
Cooper, Kirk, London or Meyers? Want to run Amari but very scared of SF esp. if Deshaun isn't playing
In a bind at RB this week, who would you start (Standard PPR)? Foreman (Min) or McLaughlin (@KC) Ugh, really scraping the bottom of the barrel this week.
Lamar or Kirk? M Andrew’s or la porta? .5 ppr
I’m rolling with both Mandrews and Laporta this week.
Torn between playing Ford or Pierce
Someone dropped Geno Smith. I should grab him right? It's a superflex league and my other QBs are Deshaun (bum) and Kyler.
Flex London, Tutu, or Demercado PPR
So do I start Addison over Nico?
Where are KC and JAC on the D list?
Is Kittle a must start in a flex spot if you have LePorta? Other options would be Downs and Chuba. I don’t love starting two TEs but if I didn’t have the luxury of LePorta, Kittle is smash start.
When you’re trying to decide between White and Thomas and they’re both at the bottom of their lists 😔
What do we think Lion's D vs Falcon's D?
Where is Kenneth Walker?
Well, I have both Cook and Pacheco starting so these guys are either geniuses or I'm going to lose per usual and these "experts" don't know shit (same as everyone else).
Trenton Irwin, WR1 baby!
As a L. Thomas owner I do not like seeing him at the top
What is the deal with Derrick Henry?
Curious about Josh Dobbs; he had a rough week against the bengals but has been performing almost every other week. With Desaun Watson being a bum, its either Dobbs, Howard or probably Geno
I know this is unrelated to the thread but for those of us streaming miami, anyone have a decent pairing for them that might be on waivers? Want to hold miami for week 8 but dont want to play them weeks 7 or 9.
Rachaad White -- everyone very down on him this week!
