Player Pos Team Opp Start/Sit Comment
Mohamed Sanu WR ATL CAR SIT Sanu has put in 4 startable weeks this year and another over 10 points. This week he goes against Carolina who is ranked 8th against opposing WR2s. This looks like a week to find better options if you can.
Devin Funchess WR CAR ATL START Funchess' uptick in action might get off set by Atlanta's 5th ranked defense against opposing WR1s, but his catch count should keep him playable this week.
Cole Beasely WR DAL KC START Beasely hasn't been as active this year as last. He's been cleared to play Sunday and he's matched up with the 32nd ranked team against inside receivers. This is a matchup Dallas could exploit.
CJ Anderson RB DEN PHI SIT You probably don't need me telling this one, but Philadelphia has been brutal on running backs and Anderson is now in a 3 headed time share at his position.
Jordy Nelson WR GB DET SIT Tough to even write this, but with Nelson matched up against Big Play Slay and Hundley feeling his way around as a QB, Nelson is a fade this week.
DeAndre Hopkins WR HOU IND SIT I'm also going to recommend sitting Hopkins with Savage getting the start. Hopkins hasn't done well historically against Davis at CB and Savage wasn't very effective in week 1.
Sammy Watkins WR LAR NYG START Watkins has had a brutal first half of the season. With Janoris Jenkins out this week, he should have an expolitable secondary and see if he can break into a rhythm with his new team.
