Fantasy Football 2019: Start Em, Sit Em for Week 1
START ‘EM – WR
5. player. 50. . Wide Receiver. Lions. Kenny Golladay
The Arizona defense isn’t bad (not as bad as their offense at least, but is that really a compliment?), but they’ll be without cornerback Patrick Peterson for the first four games of the season. That means it’ll be pretty easy for the Lions to pick on Peterson’s replacement for these first few weeks.
That being said, look no further than Kenny Golladay as a prime option at wide receiver this week. Golladay has been inconsistent, but he’s been prone to start hot and then start his roller coaster of production. Get him in your lineup for opening weekend.
SIT ‘EM – WR
46. . Wide Receiver. Colts. T.Y. Hilton. 6. player
Two weeks ago, me recommending that fantasy owners sit T.Y. Hilton would have been blasphemy. That was before Andrew Luck opted to retire though. Things are a bit different now.
No disrespect to Jacoby Brissett, but he’s not the same kind of talent that Luck is. He’s also more of a running quarterback, so Hilton is no longer a Start ‘Em on a weekly basis. The Colts are also facing the Chargers in week one, so that defense isn’t going to let Hilton have a big game.
