The 2024 NFL regular season is now underway, and it was a wild one in terms of injuries. We had some pretty prominent players either go down, or they were surprise inactives for the first set of games. Not good.
Hopefully, you were able to avoid the minefields and put up a healthy amount of points, because there were a lot of tremendous fantasy performances, too, especially from some unlikely sources. Let’s try and mine some gems to help get into the win column in Week 2.
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.
