Fantasy Football 2018: Thursday Night Football Start Em, Sit Em Week 13
Thursday Night Football is back to just one game this week and it should be a good one with some fantasy football impact players. The New Orleans Saints travel to the Lone Star State to face the Dallas Cowboys.
Since Thursday Night Football has moved to FOX, there have actually been some decent games this year! The last few weeks have given us some solid match-ups, and this week’s is no different, as the 6-5 Dallas Cowboys host the 10-1 New Orleans Saints. This is a great match-up for fantasy football purposes, as playoffs might be getting underway this week in some leagues.
The Saints are arguably the best team in the league and have ripped off ten straight wins after falling to the Buccaneers in the season opener. Since then, New Orleans has been on fire.
The Cowboys have re-emerged too, currently leading the narrow NFC East and looking to make sure they lengthen their lead in the division. Dallas has one way to win and that’s by playing stout defense and running the football with Ezekiel Elliott.
New Orleans, on the other hand, has different ways to win. Drew Brees can do it himself, Alvin Kamara or Michael Thomas can take games over, and the run defense has been magnificent. Can Zeke get enough yardage to help the Cowboys with their winning formula?
Let’s take a look at this week’s Start Ems and Sit Ems. I will say that with so many Saints being “must plays”, this list was tougher to put together than one would think, so there might be a few “DURRR” names included.
