Fantasy football season rolls along and we now hit week 13! With bye weeks over, some leagues might be starting the playoffs, so who should you start and who should you sit for this week’s slate of games?

With another wild week of games on the agenda and playoffs potentially being underway in some leagues, fantasy football owners might be feeling the pressure as the season winds down. Fortunately, I’ve got you covered! Let’s take a look at how I fared a week ago with my “Featured Five” in Start ‘Em and in Sit ‘Em.

GOOD ADVICE: STARTING JULIAN EDELMAN AND SITTING JOHN BROWN

All but one of my Start ‘Ems were a hit last week, but the most impressive one was Julian Edelman putting up an 18.4 spot in ESPN leagues. Russell Wilson had 22 points, but whenever a wide receiver can go for that many points, I’ll lean with him as my “Good Advice” feature.

Sitting John Brown was wise too, as the Ravens have turned into less of a passing team this season. Brown had just 3.5 points in ESPN leagues. Evan Engram had zero points, but left the game early due to injury, so I didn’t think including sitting him last week was my “Good Advice”.

BAD ADVICE: STARTING JAGUARS DEFENSE AND SITTING LAMAR MILLER

Well, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. My bad advice from a week ago was really, really bad. “Sack-sonville” is clearly long gone, as the Jags had zero fantasy points against the hapless Bills offense.

Oh, and I also recommended sitting Lamar Miller, who went off for 23.7 points in ESPN leagues. Not my best advice.

Let’s see how I do in week 13!
