by ADMIN 57 views

Hey guys! Week 6 is here, and you know what that means: more tough decisions for your fantasy football lineups. Don't sweat it; I'm here to help you navigate those tricky start 'em sit 'em calls so you can dominate your league this week. Let’s dive into some players you should consider starting and some you might want to keep on your bench.

Quarterbacks: Who to Trust Under Center

Start 'Em:

  • Trevor Lawrence (Jaguars): Alright, hear me out. Trevor Lawrence might not have been lighting up the stat sheets every week, but this week feels different. The matchup against the Colts is juicy, and I'm expecting him to finally unleash the potential we all know he has. The Colts' defense has shown vulnerabilities, especially against quarterbacks who can make plays with their legs, and that's where Lawrence can shine. Plus, with the Jaguars looking to solidify their position in the AFC South, expect them to lean on Lawrence to make big plays. He's a solid QB1 this week with a high ceiling. Don't overthink this one; plug him in and watch him cook.

  • Matthew Stafford (Rams): Stafford has been quietly putting up solid numbers, and this week he gets a dream matchup against the Cardinals. The Cardinals' defense has struggled mightily against the pass, and Stafford has the weapons to exploit them. With Cooper Kupp back in the mix, Stafford's options are endless. Expect a high-scoring affair, and Stafford should be right in the thick of it. He’s a must-start in all formats. Fire him up with confidence and enjoy the fireworks.

Sit 'Em:

  • Deshaun Watson (Browns): Look, I know Watson was a high draft pick, but he hasn't looked like himself so far this season. The matchup against the 49ers is brutal, and their defense is playing at an elite level. Watson has struggled with accuracy and decision-making, and the 49ers will capitalize on any mistakes. I'd rather stream a quarterback with a better matchup than risk starting Watson this week. Keep him on your bench and hope he turns things around, but for now, he's a definite sit.

  • Kenny Pickett (Steelers): Pickett has shown flashes of potential, but he's still too inconsistent to trust in your starting lineup. The matchup against the Ravens is tough, and their defense is known for making life difficult for opposing quarterbacks. Pickett is also dealing with a struggling offensive line, which further limits his upside. There are better options on the waiver wire, so keep Pickett on your bench and wait for a more favorable matchup. He's a sit for me this week.

Running Backs: Finding the Workhorses

Start 'Em:

  • Kyren Williams (Rams): This guy has been an absolute workhorse for the Rams, and there's no reason to think that will change this week against the Cardinals. Williams has been getting a ton of carries and is also involved in the passing game, making him a PPR monster. The Cardinals' defense has struggled against running backs, so expect Williams to have a big day. He's a locked-in RB1 and should be in your lineup without question.

  • Brian Robinson Jr. (Commanders): Robinson has been steadily improving each week, and he's now the clear lead back in Washington. The matchup against the Falcons is favorable, as they've struggled to contain opposing running backs. Robinson is a tough runner who can grind out yards, and he's also capable of breaking big plays. He's a solid RB2 with upside this week. Don't hesitate to plug him into your lineup.

Sit 'Em:

  • Najee Harris (Steelers): Harris has been a disappointment this season, and his matchup against the Ravens is another tough one. The Ravens' defense is stout against the run, and Harris has struggled to find running lanes. He's also splitting carries with Jaylen Warren, which further limits his upside. I'd rather start a running back with a more favorable matchup than risk starting Harris this week. Keep him on your bench and hope he regains his form, but for now, he's a sit.

  • AJ Dillon (Packers): Dillon has been a major letdown this season, and he's clearly behind Aaron Jones in the Packers' backfield pecking order. The matchup against the Broncos isn't particularly favorable, and Dillon hasn't shown the ability to break tackles or make big plays. He's a benchwarmer until further notice. Find a better option on the waiver wire.

Wide Receivers: Identifying the Playmakers

Start 'Em:

  • Cooper Kupp (Rams): Welcome back, Kupp! He's already proven he's matchup-proof. With Stafford throwing him the ball against the Cardinals, he's an automatic start. Kupp is a target hog and a touchdown machine. He’s a WR1 every single week he’s active. Start him and don’t think twice. — Inter Miami Vs. Chicago Fire: Match Preview

  • Christian Kirk (Jaguars): Kirk has been a consistent performer this season, and he's Lawrence's favorite target. The matchup against the Colts is a good one, as they've struggled to cover slot receivers. Kirk is a reliable PPR option who can also make big plays downfield. He's a solid WR2 with upside this week. Get him in your lineup.

Sit 'Em:

  • George Pickens (Steelers): Pickens has the talent, but his inconsistency is frustrating. The matchup against the Ravens is tough, and Pickett has struggled to get him the ball consistently. Pickens is a boom-or-bust player who is more likely to bust this week. Keep him on your bench and hope he develops a better connection with Pickett, but for now, he's a sit.

  • Skyy Moore (Chiefs): Moore has been a disappointment this season, and he hasn't lived up to the hype. He's not getting enough targets, and he hasn't shown the ability to make plays when he does get the ball. There are better options on the waiver wire, so keep Moore on your bench and wait for him to show something before you start him. He's a sit for me.

Tight Ends: Navigating the Wasteland

Start 'Em:

  • Evan Engram (Jaguars): Engram has been a reliable target for Lawrence, and he's a decent option in a tight end landscape. The matchup against the Colts is solid, and Engram should see plenty of targets. He's a mid-range TE1 with a good floor. If you're streaming tight ends, Engram is a solid choice. — Showgirl's Life: Tickets, Glamour, & Behind-the-Scenes

  • Luke Musgrave (Packers): Musgrave has shown flashes of potential, and he's starting to develop a rapport with Jordan Love. The matchup against the Broncos is favorable, as they've struggled to cover tight ends. Musgrave is a sleeper who could surprise this week. He's worth a look if you're desperate at tight end.

Sit 'Em:

  • Dalton Schultz (Texans): Schultz has been inconsistent this season, and he's not a reliable option in your starting lineup. The matchup against the Saints is tough, and their defense is good at covering tight ends. There are better options on the waiver wire, so keep Schultz on your bench and look elsewhere. He's a sit for me.

  • Cole Kmet (Bears): Kmet has struggled to produce this season, and he's not worth starting in most leagues. The Bears' passing game is a mess, and Kmet isn't getting enough targets to be fantasy-relevant. Keep him on your bench and hope he turns things around, but for now, he's a sit.

Alright, fantasy fanatics, that's it for this week's start 'em sit 'em! Good luck with your lineups, and may the fantasy gods be ever in your favor!
