Fantasy football sit-and-start advice should always be relative and league-dependent. Many starts and sits are obvious too, so we will instead focus on fringe options in this column, the ones that take real thought. Good luck with your Week 6 lineups!
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Chicago Bears (London)
Start: Tank Bigsby
Bigsby ranks first in YPC and first in rush yards over expectation per attempt (by a mile). He’s getting 6.5 YPC after contact with a 51% avoided tackle rate. Bigsby ranks 38th in rush attempts but fifth in broken tackles. Travis Etienne Jr. remains the starter, but he’s battling a recurring shoulder injury that’s a “play-by-play situation” in which he’ll “continue to push through.” The Bears are a run-funnel defense allowing the second fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks but the 10th most to running backs. Bigsby is a borderline top-20 RB in a favorable matchup.
Sit Christian Kirk, who faces a Chicago defense ceding the third-fewest fantasy points to the slot, where he’s run 80% of his routes this season.
Washington Commanders @ Baltimore Ravens
Start: Terry McLaurin
McLaurin ranks 12th in target share (27.3%) and first in air yards share (56.6%) on an offense that’s off to a historic start in points per drive. The Ravens are by far the league’s biggest pass-funnel defense and have allowed the third most fantasy points to wide receivers (and the most passing yards). Meanwhile, Zay Flowers is a top-12 WR in this matchup.
Arizona Cardinals @ Green Bay Packers
Start: Dontayvion Wicks
Assuming Christian Watson sits out one more game (it turns out it wasn’t a high-ankle sprain), Wicks would be worth starting despite last week’s disaster. He’ll have another big role in an offense projected to score among the most points this week. Arizona is toward the bottom of the league in pressure rate, and Wicks ranks eighth in target rate (30.9%). But this hinges on Watson, who is questionable, being out.
Houston Texans @ New England Patriots
Start:…
