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.
Zach Ertz (TE – WAS)
“Zach Ertz is a solid tight end streaming option this week. Ertz caught just two of his eight targets (30% Target share) for 10 yards. Ertz was targeted four times in the red zone but only caught one pass, with no touchdowns. The Commanders’ tight end left a boatload of production on the table (70 air yards), but the usage is positive for him to be a streaming tight end option in a plus-matchup versus the Ravens in Week 6. Baltimore is second in yards, targets, and catches to TEs this season.”

Mark Andrews (TE – BAL)
“Call me a glutton for punishment, but I would probably start Mark Andrews this week. Lamar Jackson badly underthrew Andrews on a would-be touchdown last week right before he added salt to the wound by throwing the next pass to Charlie Kolar for a touchdown. If Andrews had caught that touchdown, he would be higher in this week’s rankings. Andrews could be involved in a high-scoring game with a Washington defense that ranks 27th in DVOA versus tight ends in the passing game.”
– Mick Ciallela (Fantrax)
Mike Evans (WR – TB)
“Mike Evans. Matchups can be noisy, but apparently not when it comes to Marshon Lattimore. He and Evans have beef, and he stifled the Bucs WR in their lone meeting last year (7 pts), and Evans has produced just ONE WR1 finish across 13 meetings with Lattimore. He’s had more than 8.4 points just one time in the last NINE clashes.”
– Kevin Roberts (Breaking Football)
“Mike Evans is too talented to ever bench in fantasy. But if there was a week to sit him, it would be on his annual trip to New Orleans. Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore has a lot of experience against Evans in his career, and he’s given the veteran receiver fits. Four of Evans’ nine career games with 15 or fewer receiving yards came against the Saints with Lattimore in coverage against him.”
