QBs
Start
Russell Wilson Seahawks @ Packers
DangerRuss has been cleared to play and that means he should return immediately to lineups. This is going to be an interesting match, in theory Aaron Rodgers returns but perhaps he doesn’t. Either scenario suggests good things for Seahawks fantasy outlook, if Rodgers plays, the Hawks will have to keep up with Rodgers at home, if he doesn’t there’s a good chance they’ll dominate time of possession. Playing your studs is a solid fantasy rule to live by.
Sit
Ben Roethlisberger Lions @ Steelers
This looks like a plus matchup and a great opportunity for Big Ben to have a big fantasy day, but when has he done that this season? He hasn’t broken 20 points this season and I don’t see that changing against the Lions. The Steelers will lean on Najee Harris as they have done all season and for that reason you should keep Ben out of your lineups.
RBs
Start
D’Ernest Johnson Browns @ Patriots
Johnson is a must start in Cleveland's run-heavy offense with Nick Chubb on the COVID list. As we saw against Denver when Johnson rushed for 146 yards on 22 attempts, he is more than capable of handling the load. Whilst I see a matchup against the Patriots being tougher than the Bronco’s and I don’t think you can expect him to rush for over 125 yds, he’ll still get solid return as the lead rusher for the Browns.
Sit
Antonio Gibson Bucs @ Football Team
Gibson has been a let down this year, he’s carrying a shin injury that according to reports will only be getting worse the more he plays. Whilst Gibson has receiving skills, he hasn’t been given the opportunity to showcase them and the matchup against the Bucs just reeks of Mckissic. Gibson hasn’t broken 75 yds rushing since week 1 and it’s seriously unlikely that changes this weekend, this looks like another sub 10 point fantasy game for Antonio.
WRs
Start
Mike Williams Vikings @ Chargers
Williams is on a bad run of games in terms of fantasy points scored and I see that ending against the Vikings in LA. The Chargers coaching staff should have figured out that they need to get him more involved and they’ve won 3 out of 4 games when Williams has seen 9 or more targets. Don’t try and get too smart when managing your roster, this is a bounceback game for Mike W.
Sit
Courtland Sutton Eagles @ Broncos
Sutton will most likely see a lot of Darius Slay, and he hasn’t performed when Jerry Jeudy is on the field and with the second year receiver back healthy that narrative will continue. Over the past two games against plus matchups for fantasy receivers (Wash & Dal) Sutton has only mustered up 49 rec yds and 3 catches. Teddy just isn’t looking his way and against better coverage he’s even less likely to throw it deep.
TEs
Start
Tyler Conklin Vikings @ Chargers
Conklin’s had 14 targets over the past 2 games and the Chargers are giving up the 5th most points to tight ends this season. I think this could be a high scoring game with two good offenses duking it out. I like the consistency he has shown recently and whilst he may not have that boom potential he seems to have a decent floor of late. I’m banking on that continuing this week!
Sit
Tyler Higbee Rams @ 49ers
Higbee’s coming off a 10 target game so this might seem like a tough call, but he’s not going to back that up. The Rams just signed Odell Beckham Jr and that’s another high profile mouth to feed and whilst he might not play on Monday Night I still don’t see Higbee having a big night against the 8th toughest defense for tight ends.
Kickers
Start
Tyler Bass Bills @ Jets
Bass has been one of the most consistent kickers this season and there is no reason that trend stops against the Jets in NYC on Sunday. There should be a lot of Bills possessions and that’ll either end up in multiple PATs or FG attempts.
Sit
Matt Ammendola Bills @ Jets
Yeh it's the same game, but I don’t wanna be starting a kicker going up against the Bills after last week's game. You have to think Buffalo is going to be fired up and therefore I see little opportunity for the Jets kicker as they might be in 4 down territory early and often.
Defence
Start
New England Browns @ Patriots
If you are a Patriots defence owner and you’re wondering if you should start them this week, the answer is yes! Nick Chubb is out and Baker Mayfield is a QB that Belichick can pick on. The Pats defence has scored north of 10+ points in its last 3 games and I like that to continue on Sunday in Foxborough.
Sit
Dallas Falcons @ Cowboys
Whilst this seems like a plus matchup, the Cowboys defence is on a bad run of games, they haven’t been able to force a turnover since their bye week. They were scoring well before then because they were getting turnovers whilst still giving up points. Shockingly they’ve only held teams to less than 20 points twice this year and when their offence fails it catches up to them. The Falcons are a team that can score, so bench the Cowboys until those turnovers come back.

Would love to see Washington try and establish run to keep Bucs O on sidelines… really expected their O Line to be better since it looked good on paper. Like the Mike Will bounce back call -
