Fantasy Football 2018: Start Em, Sit Em for Week 6
We’re headed into week six of fantasy football and there are some good games on in the NFL this week to keep an eye on when it comes to your squads. Who should you start and who should you sit?
Another week down and another week to go in the NFL and in fantasy football! There were some great games in week five and now week six will have a tough time trying to replicate that craziness.
This is the third week now where bye weeks are into full effect, but we haven’t gotten to the point where more than two teams have the week off. So far, it’s been just two teams through the last three weeks. Make sure you’re paying attention to which players are on bye weeks (if any) and get them swapped out before Sunday or Monday’s games.
As always, it’s time for my best advice and my worst advice from a week ago! There wasn’t really a bad suggestion from me as far as who to start, so I included two bad suggestions from my featured Sit ‘Ems last week.
GOOD ADVICE – STARTING T.J. YELDON AND SITTING ANTONIO GATES
I continued to suggest starting the predominant running back against the Chiefs and it paid off, as T.J. Yeldon totaled 26.2 points in ESPN leagues. Starting Austin Hooper was another good suggestion, especially with how random his production has been this year.
As for the sits, Dalvin Cook didn’t play, so not sure that’s a legitimate win for me. Antonio Gates did play, however, and he only notched three points in ESPN leagues.
BAD ADVICE – SITTING ELI MANNING AND SITTING SAMMY WATKINS
Eli Manning has looked a little better recently and had19.2 points for his efforts against the Panthers last week. Sammy Watkins, also one of my featured Sit Ems, racked up 13.8 points. I was dead wrong on both of those guys in week five.
Let’s see how I fare in week six!
