    SIT ‘EM

    For the Start ‘Em options, Winston has a favorable match-up against the 49ers and has Bruce Arians now at the helm in Tampa. Lindsay tormented the Raiders all last season and should continue to run all over them. Westbrook gets a Chiefs secondary that doesn’t appear to be much better from last year’s debacle. Cook will make his first appearance as a Saint and should thrive against the Texans. The Browns get a nice match-up week one against what could be a brutal Titans offense.

    Regarding the Sit ‘Em candidates, there’s hype surrounding Darnold this year, but taper those expectations against a stingy Bills defense. Drake will have a tough go of it against a good Ravens front. Pettis might get lost in the shuffle against the Bucs. Reed has been banged up so much over these past few years and gets a tough opponent in Philly. The Steelers might not have much luck slowing down the Patriots on ring night in Foxborough.

    Best of luck in week one, everybody!
