As the fantasy football season rages on into the heart of the campaign, managers continue to face crucial start/sit decisions as it pertains to their lineups.
Fortunately, only two teams have the week off. Teams on a bye in Week 6 include the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers.
Doing start/sit articles can be a little challenging. The players featured on the list below should not be taken as “must starts” or “must sits.” Instead, these are more suggestions on what we believe managers should do with fringe players heading into the weekend. The choice is ultimately up to the manager.
Just because a player is listed as a “start” doesn’t mean he should be put in the lineup over the secure, bona fide studs. Vice versa for the “sits.” If there’s no better option on the waiver wire or the bench, a manager shouldn’t automatically sit the player. That’s why these can be tricky waters to navigate.
