Don’t forget to sync your leagues to MyPlaybook so you can access our Start/Sit Assistant to give specific advice to help you dominate and bring home the championship.

Here is our fantasy football start/sit article, including all the players we’re calling sleepers and duds this week. Below, let’s take a closer look at a few players to consider this week.

David Njoku (TE – CLE)

David Njoku: With lead WR Amari Cooper now donning a Bills’ uniform, who’s left for Deshaun Watson to throw to? Whether Watson’s the right QB for the Browns right now is a separate matter. But regardless of who plays QB, David Njoku will see an increase in targets out of necessity.”
– Neema Hodjat (Real GM)

Greg Dortch (WR – ARI)

“I’m only considering Greg Dortch if Marvin Harrison Jr. sits out. Arizona plays on Monday night, but chances are, the rookie’s concussion will keep him sidelined vs. the Chargers. That would put seven targets per game up for grabs.”
– Kevin English (Draft Sharks)

“With Marvin Harrison Jr. extremely questionable headed into Monday Night after he suffered a concussion last week, how about Greg Dortch as an interesting flier? The Chargers have been good against WRs this season (5th fewest points to the position thus far), yet Kyler Murray has to throw to someone. If there is no MHJ, Dortch should see plenty of time on the field opposite Michael Wilson, making him an interesting start for managers that have serious bye or injury issues this week.”
– Ed Birdsall (Talking Points Sports)

Rashod Bateman (WR – BAL)

Rashod Bateman is quietly having a career year. That isn’t saying a lot, but he is on pace for 51 receptions, 819 yards, and six touchdowns. Considering the Ravens run a notoriously low passing offense, and Flowers is the true top target, Bateman has been consistently involved. This week, Bateman should benefit from the abysmal play of the Ravens’ secondary. This team can’t stop anyone and now runs into a red-hot Baker Mayfield and company. The Ravens don’t want to pass but may be forced to since the Bucs are averaging the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game over the last three weeks. This has shootout written all over it, so give me Lamar Jackson‘s top outside target to have a nice week.”
– Ellis Johnson (RotoBaller)
