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.

Player Pos Team Opp Start / Sit Comment
Hassan Haskins RB TEN DAL START It sounds like King Herny is sitting this one out along with many Titan starters. Haskins should benefit. Now we can't potentially get too excited as the backup QB is coming in and many starters are down. So this is likely a dart throw, but if you're starving for a RB, one might be available.
Noah Brown WR DAL TEN START Tennessee has had troubles vs the outside receive this year and are resting several starters this week vs Dallas. Brown and Gallup could be beneficiaries, look for them to put in startable weeks.
Michael Gallup WR DAL TEN START Tennessee has had troubles vs the outside receive this year and are resting several starters this week vs Dallas. Brown and Gallup could be beneficiaries, look for them to put in startable weeks.
