You have lineup questions. We have answers. At least we hope. Start 'Em & Sit 'Em has helped fantasy managers for years make those pressing lineup decisions. And you know what is a good decision? Starting Patrick Mahomes. But that's too obvious, so you won't see that here. Instead here are some of the most-pressing questions. And, if you can't find a player you are looking for, please check out latest NFL Fantasy lineup rankings right here.
Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said he hasn’t closed the door on Tyrod Taylor returning as a starter. But as a fantasy manager who has many shares of Ekeler, I would remove that door stop and lock the dead bolt. We need Justin Herbert in the lineup. It might not be fair to Tyrod. What, with a one-game sample size. But Ekeler has been great since Herbert took over as the team’s quarterback. Ekeler has averaged 7.5 targets with Herbert. And he’s got a great matchup with the Bucs, who have allowed the fourth-most receptions tor running backs this season and the fifth-most receiving yards per game to running backs.
Thankfully for all the heat I’ve received for saying to start Gardner Minshew, I’ve received just as much love for calling Robinson back in August. LOL. Just kidding. The internet doesn’t work that way. You’re an idiot for your mistakes and that’s all people remember. Which is fine. Adventure. Excitement. A Jedi craves not these things. So it’s all good. Fan of Robinson this week against the Bengals. He’s had at least 90 yards in every game this season. He’s had at least 120 in back-to-back. The Bengals have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to running backs. You start him. And I know some of you have asked about him being a sell-high candidate. I don’t know, dude. You find a RB who gets 56% of the snaps and has at least 17 touches in every game this season and that is a dude I want to keep.
Drake is currently the RB29. This is the biggest disappointment from a Drake since Dark Lane Demo Tapes. Stop, stop, stop. You know I’m kidding. Demo Tapes was amazing. Anybody who says likewise is a liar. But we can’t deny that our guy Kenyan hasn’t quite lived up to his billing. I know a lot of people took him at the end of the first round, late-second at worst. We need to see some return on investment. Guy is still playing the majority of the snaps by a large margin. The Panthers have allowed the second-most fantasy points to running backs this season. They have allowed seven touchdowns to running backs this season, which is the most in the NFL.
The Bears pass defense has played well this season. The run defense hasn’t been as good, which should show you what an underrated stud Eddie Goldman truly is. The Bears have allowed four rushing touchdowns to running backs this year, that’s the fourth-most in the NFL. And as it turns out, Nick Foles doesn’t play on the defensive line. Though I can’t 100% confirm that. Taylor has been pretty good. He’s had at least 13 fantasy points in every game this season. A rushing touchdown in consecutive games. Look, I don’t want to be right about this. But I still have to be objective.
We spent so much time debating Cam Akers and Malcom Brown during the offseason, here comes Darrell Henderson who has been crushing it. That low-key third guy who turned out to be the best of the bunch. Like Kyle O’Reilly of the Undisputed Era who has always kind of been my favorite. (And I do realize the Undisputed Era is a four-man stable … at least until they turn on O’Reilly.) But let’s focus on Henderson with his back-to-back games with at least 19 fantasy points. The Giants have also allowed at least 120 yards in the past two games and this could be another game where Henderson is the (wait for it) undisputed leader of this backfield. I’ll show myself out.
People are big-mad I told them to sit Tom Brady last week and start Fournette. But you need to understand Brady threw two one-yard touchdowns to Mike Evans. That, if they went to Fournette, you’d be singing a different tune. So until I start calling the plays in Tampa Bay, don’t get mad at me. I will say this would be a tough start this week. Mike Davis did have a day last week for the Panthers. But the Chargers have still allowed the fourth-fewest points to running backs this season. And Brady is really loving those passes to Evans when they get near the goal line. Fournette is risky because he’s so touchdown dependent.
Howard is on pace for 16 touchdowns this season. And 192 rushing yards. For like the entire year. That’s like a Frank Summers, That Helps No One type of stat line. So you’re not starting him anyway. And the Seahawks have allowed 42 rushing yards per game on average. Unless you’re hoping for a pair of touchdowns to get you into double digits, this is probably one name you’re going to want to avoid.
He’s a fun player. I know a lot of folks were extremely excited about him coming into the season. But yeah. He’s had fewer than 15 touches in all three games this season. He’s had fewer than 65 scrimmage yards in every game this year. Oh yeah, and he’s playing the Ravens. Who, yes, they looked bad against the Chiefs. But Scott Turner isn’t Andy Reid. And Dwayne Haskins isn’t Patrick Mahomes. Oh, and make sure you say Patrick Mahomes. As was pointed out on Twitter on Monday night by his mother.
Adrian Peterson looked really good at times against the Bears in Week 1. But yeah, it hasn’t been the same since. And Matt Patricia’s stubbornness to keep going with Peterson when you have a future star in D'Andre Swift. Like my cousin who still listens to his Chumbawamba CD in his car instead of streaming music. But all that said, I can’t start Peterson this week with any confidence. And, wait just a minute, this is an Adrian Peterson REVENGE GAME! START HIM! Just kidding. Peterson has scored 6.8 fantasy points per game in his last two. The Saints are pretty good on run defense. I was impressed with the way they were attacking the line on Sunday night. I’m going to bench AD, yes, even in this revenge game.
