Startem sitem Thursday Week 9 2022

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 Josh Allen 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 players on each Thursday night's game and ~ 6 players for the rest of the week to get you going.

Jalen Hurts QB PHI HOU START Start your Eagles in this one
AJ Brown WR PHI HOU START Start your Eagles in this one
Devonta Smith WR PHI HOU START Start your Eagles in this one
Dallas Godert TE PHI HOU START Start your Eagles in this one
Miles Sanders RB PHI HOU START Start your Eagles in this one
Davis Mills QB HOU PHI SIT Look elsewhere
Dameon Pierce RB HOU PHI START OK, maybe he'll work and in a 6 team BYE week you probably need him.
Brandin Cooks WR HOU PHI SIT Look elsewhere. His mind isn't right even if he plays
