Start em sit em9/28/2023 ![]() START 'EM Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Kansas City ChiefsĬlyde Edwards-Helaire's statline from this past week is hilarious. This is especially true for this week as the Browns take on the Falcons, who have given up the fourth-most fantasy points to wideouts so far this year. Normally we'd be remiss to recommend anyone from the Browns' passing offense, but last week showed Jacoby Brissett's over-reliance on Amari Cooper, which makes Cooper a very reliable fantasy option. There will be weeks where Sanders will get enough touches to start, but this doesn't feel like one of them. Philly also seems to be learning that its competitive hopes run through Jalen Hurts and his talented receiving core. The Eagles have a bad matchup for Sanders this week in Jacksonville, who currently boast the NFL's best run defense in terms of total yards given up and allows an average of 3.1 yards per carry. Miles Sanders remains a frustratingly inconsistent fantasy back, even after he finally scored a rushing touchdown in Week 1 after a drought that lasted all of 2021 in that area. START 'EM Miles Sanders, Philadelphia Eagles The opportunities will be there for Bateman. It should be a high-scoring game that requires a lot of passing on the Ravens' side. Baltimore will host the Bills, who are missing most of their secondary due to injury issues and just allowed a 100-yard day to Jaylen Waddle. But this upcoming week presents a great opportunity. Rashod Bateman has been pretty hit-or-miss this season and his fantasy output is directly tied to the Ravens' offensive strategy in ways other wideouts are not. If you have the choice, look elsewhere at the QB position this week. And even if the Chargers have an easy opponent, as they do against Houston this week, they won't push Herbert too hard in fear of hurting him further. His one-touchdown, one-interception outing against Jacksonville seems more in line with what he's going to put forward over the next few weeks than his first two games. Herbert's rib cartilage fracture clearly hindered him this week, he just lost his All-Pro left tackle for the year and his top WR has a bum hammy. ![]() Justin Herbert was a top-flight fantasy QB heading into the season but things are going downhill for him and his team. Enjoy! (All stats via ESPN PPR leagues) Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers We'll examine some fringe flex starters-players who fall outside of the top 50 but inside the top 100 of FantsyPros point-per-reception (PPR) rankings-and determine some of the best starts and sits of the week.Hello again! Here's The Big Lead's weekly start 'em, sit 'em column for all your fantasy football needs. We're here to help navigate some of the week's trickier flex decisions. Lazard, who is unvaccinated, was deemed a close contact and is officially out. Adams was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. The Green Bay Packers, meanwhile, could be without both Davante Adams and Allen Lazard for Thursday night's game with the Arizona Cardinals. The bad news is that players like Christian McCaffrey, Kareem Hunt, David Montgomery and Russell Wilson are still injured. The good news is that only the Las Vegas Raiders and Baltimore Ravens are on bye in Week 8. Injuries and bye weeks often force bench players into the starting lineup. Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. Stars are drafted early for a reason-managers expect them to be weekly lineup staples. In fantasy, it's never fun to have to play second- or third-tier players.
