Week 4: Start ‘Em/Sit ‘Em

o did anyone outside of Buffalo see that game coming? Beside being totally off on selecting all the Vikings last week, our Start ‘Em/Sit ‘Em predictions were pretty solid. You can check out our Week 3 Result , but for now let’s jump right into Week 4 of Start ‘Em/Sit ‘Em!

As always you can follow us on Twitter and tweet us any of your lineup questions! 

Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals (Away at Atlanta Falcons)

We’re expecting another high-scoring game involving Atlanta this week as the Falcons will be without both starting safeties, Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen. Through three weeks the Falcons have the third-worst defense in the league and we fully expect Andy Dalton and Co. to take advantage down in the dome. Surprisingly, Dalton is the 12th highest scoring fantasy quarterback in 2018, and ripped a stout Ravens defense for four touchdowns and 26.6 fantasy points.

Philip Rivers, Los Angeles Chargers (Home vs San Fransisco 49ers)

Rivers makers his return to our Start column this week in a very nice home matchup versus the 49ers. San Fransisco wasn’t great with Jimmy Garoppolo, and now that he’s lost for the season with a torn ACL it’s hard to see the 49ers doing anything positive this season. Already ranked 20th in offense DVOA and 25th in defense DVOA expect things to get a lot worse for the 49ers starting this week in Los Angeles.

Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens (Home vs Pittsburgh Steelers)

We’re usually not huge Joe Flacco fans, but it’s hard to ignore the Ravens home matchup with the Steelers this week. Pittsburgh has allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks while Baltimore is averaging 37 points a game at home in 2018. Flacco could be set for a nice week and should be available in most leagues.

*Week 3 QB Sleepers*

Baker Mayfield, Cleveland Browns (Away at Oakland Raiders): I’ll put this out there as a disclaimer, I wouldn’t actually start Mayfield unless you’re very desperate at quarterback. With that being said Baker goes into his first start in about as favorable way as possible, 10 days to prepare to play the second-worst defense in the league. The only way this could be more ideal is if the game was at home. I’d keep my eye on Mayfield this week as he may put up some points and be an interesting waiver wire pickup.

Case Keenum, Denver Broncos (Home vs Kansas City Chiefs): Last week we had Keenum as a hard Sit and couldn’t have been more correct, this week we’re thinking that he’ll have a bounce back week versus the league-worst Chief’s defense. Expect a high scoring game giving Keenum the chance to produce viable fantasy numbers.
