Phillip LindsayRBDENARISTARTLindsay has been an under the radar producer, this is a plumb matchup and should find a way to put up starter numbers
Christian KirkWRARIDENSTARTKirk is emerging into a consistent target for Josh Rosen. The matchup against Denver's "no fly zone" isn't what it once was and I like Kirk's chances of becoming involved.
Courtland SuttonWRDENARISTARTSutton is averaging 5 targets per week so far. He's yet to put in a startable week in fantasy, but I feel this is a good opportunity for him to captalize. He should avoid Peterson for the most part and take advantage of a lesser matchup.





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 Drew Brees 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. This year I'm going to be looking at different ways to integrate daily fantasy pricing and Vegas odds into my decision making process. Good Luck this year!
