Fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em: Week 8

Here’s a look at some tough start/sit decisions in fantasy football for Week 8.

As fantasy football essentially reaches the midway point of the 2022 season, managers are dealing with some tough start/sit decisions between injuries and bye weeks.

Though it’s only the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers on a bye, there’s a lot of fantasy firepower sitting on the bench this week.

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.

You also can check out our start and sit bench list for Week 8.

Fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em: Week 7

Here’s a look at some tough starts and sits in fantasy football for Week 7.

As we get closer to the halfway point of the fantasy football season, bye weeks and injuries make start and sit decisions even more vital.

With the Buffalo Bills, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, and Los Angeles Rams all on a bye, there’s a lot of fantasy firepower sitting on the bench this week.

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.

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.

Fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em: Week 6

Fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em: Week 5

Here are some tough start/sit decisions in Week 5 of fantasy football.

Fantasy football managers will be faced with tough decisions in their lineups with the Week 5 games getting underway.

With a quarter of the fantasy football season behind us, this is when teams can begin making a run for the playoffs. Even those teams that are 1-3 — or even 0-4 — can get back into the mix with the correct start/sit decisions.

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.

Fantasy Football start ’em, sit ’em: Week 4

Here’s a look at some tough start/sit decisions in Week 4 of fantasy football.

Entering the fourth week of fantasy football, managers can begin separating from their leagues while others look to gain ground in the race. Much of this will be determined by the start/sit decisions.

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.
