 Other Starts and Sits of the Week

Starts: The wide receivers in this game are locked and loaded for good games. Calvin Ridley, Julio Jones, DJ Moore and Robby Anderson should be in every lineup everywhere. Past that, Russell Gage is an interesting option.

Gage has had back to back double digit games, and in a PPR league may have enough catches to be a flex option for you this week. Hayden Hurst is also interesting this week. He has had 11 targets over the last two weeks, and he is starting to insert himself into this Falcons offense.

Sits: The Panthers defense should not be an option here. No one is starting Atlanta’s defense, but Carolina has been a streamable defense in multiple match-ups. That won’t be the case this week, so avoid them if you can. There are simply better options out there.

Curtis Samuel is also a player I would sit. He is coming off of 17 points last week, but has been streaky at best this year and is the type of player that could burn you if you rely on him to deliver.
