Startem sitem 2020 Thursday Week 14

In this Start Em / Sit Em column each week, I'm looking to find some fringe players that you might consider starting each week and comment based on their matchups. Early on, I'll base my selection of candidates on where they were with respect to ADP. I'm not going to try to pad my stats by suggesting your start Patrick Mahomes each week, but instead trying to dig deep and find some nuggets for players to avoid or to go after. These are coin flip guys and if I can finish the year at better than 60% I'll consider it a success. My metrics to get the start decision are: QB 20 pts or more, RB, WR or TE need to score 12 pts or more for a successful endorsement. Defense/Special Teams should put in 8 points or more to get those picks right. I'll look at ~3-6 players on each Thursday night's game and ~ 6 players for the rest of the week to get you going.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Player Pos Team Opp Start / Sit Comment
Damien Harris RB NE LAR SIT The Rams defense is not a great matchup so I'd steer clear of the Patriot skill players
Jakobi Myers WR NE LAR SIT The Rams defense is not a great matchup so I'd steer clear of the Patriot skill players
Cam Akers RB LAR NE START Akers is coming on the last couple of weeks and starting to earn a larger share of this backfield. If you're hurting for options this week, he's worth a try.
