Fantasy football sit-and-start advice should always be relative and league-dependent. Many starts and sits are obvious too, so we will instead focus on fringe options in this column, the ones that take real thought. Good luck with your Week 6 lineups!
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Chicago Bears (London)
Start: Tank Bigsby
Bigsby ranks first in YPC and first in rush yards over expectation per attempt (by a mile). He’s getting 6.5 YPC after contact with a 51% avoided tackle rate. Bigsby ranks 38th in rush attempts but fifth in broken tackles. Travis Etienne Jr. remains the starter, but he’ll also likely remain limited this week by a recurring shoulder injury that’s a “play-by-play situation” in which he’ll “continue to push through.” The Bears are a run-funnel defense allowing the second fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks but the 10th most to running backs. Bigsby is a borderline top-20 RB in a favorable matchup.
Sit Christian Kirk, who faces a Chicago defense ceding the third-fewest fantasy points to the slot, where he’s run 80% of his routes this season.
Washington Commanders @ Baltimore Ravens
Start: Terry McLaurin
McLaurin ranks 12th in target share (27.3%) and first in air yards share (56.6%) on an offense that’s off to a historic start in points per drive. The Ravens are by far the league’s biggest pass-funnel defense and have allowed the third most fantasy points to wide receivers (and the most passing yards). Meanwhile, Zay Flowers is a top-12 WR in this matchup.
Sit Brian Robinson Jr., who continues to battle a knee injury (he didn’t play any snaps in the second half last week) and is facing a Baltimore defense allowing an NFL-low 3.0 YPC and just 48.0 RB rushing yards per game.
Arizona Cardinals @ Green Bay Packers
Start: Dontayvion Wicks
Assuming Christian Watson sits out one more game (it turns out it wasn’t a high-ankle sprain), Wicks would be worth starting despite last week’s disaster. He’ll have another big role in an offense…
