Following a thrilling Thursday night game between the Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks, it’s now time to turn our attention to the big start/sit decisions lingering over fantasy football lineups for Week 13.
This is a brutal week all around. Between injuries and the fact that six teams are on a bye, the options are thin. As a reminder, the teams on a bye in Week 13 include the Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, New York Giants, Chicago Bears, Las Vegas Raiders and Minnesota Vikings.
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.
