Welcome to the 2023 start/sit advice thread.

To get the best suggestions please include
-Your league's scoring/settings.
-What slots need to be filled.
-What opposing teams they face.

Your thoughts on who you'd pick is also helpful.

For instance, need a flex, .5PPR:
Lockett vLAR
McKinnon vDET

Lockett should be solid but with a Kelceless Chiefs McKinnon could be intriguing? :thunk:

Gimme a flex in full PPR

James Cook @NYJ

Khalil Herbert vs GB

Pittman slotted in now but I'm not feeling confident about it.

Stick with Pittman Colts are gonna be down big early/the whole season

doubs. london gonna get jaire'd and arizona sucks



my own question, full PPR:

Vikings Jordan Addison (@PHI) or Patriots Kendrick Bourne (vs MIA)?

Both MIN and NE have banged up OLines and are likely to be playing from behind. expert consensus is Addison, but does anyone want to sincerely argue for Bourne?

Do you want a receiver catching passes from Primetime Kirk Cousins???

Bourne was seemingly getting forcefed targets Sundays (even at points when he shouldn't)

0.5 PPR, flex

Terry McLaurin @ DEN
Zay Jones vs KC

Kinda leaning Zay, I am worried Washington gets shut down and it's a gross game that finishes like 13-10. Whereas hopefully we are blessed with a huge shootout in KC/JAX

I would stick with Breece personally, he showed vs Buffalo that he can rip off an 80 yard run at any moment and make your day. And what are they gonna do, let Zach Wilson drop back 40 times lol?

Agreed KC/Jax is gonna be a firefight and Breece can score a TD at any moment

Christian Watson owner chiming in - I'm sitting him another week until he plays a full game.

WR hamstring injuries give me flashbacks to Keenan Allen being limited in snap counts and then aggravating the injury.

Yeah I’m sitting him and hoping he looks ready to go to cover Keenan Allen’s bye next week

Yeah I like the wait and see approach on Watson, good points. I just want to use my new toy :argh:

I think I like how you have it set. In a vacuum I would rather play Flowers but the Browns D looks legit, and they are literally the worst matchup for receivers at the moment (with the huge asterisk that they've done this against a gimpy Joe Burrow, Kenny Pickett, and Ryan Tannehill. So a functional team could move the ball on them)

I would argue the Ravens are not a functional team

I have Evans in now. I guess this might be the easiest matchup Harris has had so far this year, but I do not have a lot of confidence in playing him. Most of the sites have Harris much higher in rankings but I feel like I am being gas-lit by them.

Evans for sure

I'm in bye week hell. Do I pick up Tyler Boyd, Jahan Dotson, or Zach Ertz (lol) to flex over Jordan Addison?

I think I keep things as-is, but last week's goose egg cost me a win - I lost by less than half a point - and Qirk is my QB so I'm doubly hosed if KC owns the Vikings.

I have Cousins and picked up Stroud in case Cousins slides due to no JJ. Stroud is on bye. FantasyPros says Howell is better than Cousins this week. Should I drop Cousins or Stroud for Howell and then reassess next week? Having 2 QBs is already silly and having 3 seems absurd. I'd drop Shaheed if I wanted all 3 temporarily.

I don’t think playing Kirk Cousins after 1PM Sunday against the 49ers defense without JJ is a good idea. Howell please

It's looking like Reynolds won't even play, or be very limited. Najee might finally do something this week against the rams, and Edwards and Hill, like Quiet Feet said, is essentially fill two spots to get the output of one good RB. I feel like Zeke is unstartable this year unless Stevenson gets injured. I'd probably go Hill & Edwards, or Najee and Edwards. Hill & Edwards probably has a lower floor but lower ceiling.

I think it’s gonna be Najee and Murray, Murray got a lot of work when Damien Harris went down and the Bills should shithouse the Pats

I’m leaning toward Thomas, but musgrave has a higher projection. Only concern here is that the Denver defense will be bad enough that they’ll just throw to WRs instead of TEs

For all the shittalking I did about Musgrave a few weeks ago this is the week to play him, no one gives up more points to TEs than denver
