Anyone else play against Dak Prescott (38.9 points) in multiple leagues last week?
Just me?
Regardless of whether you had the misfortune of playing against the Dallas Cowboys or the luxury of starting them yourself (Tony Pollard notwithstanding), you did it. You made it through one of the more brutal bye weeks of the season.
Your reward? No Falcons (24th in scoring), Colts (ninth), Patriots (31st), or Saints (18th) this week.
Aside from some star running backs and a pair of WR2s, we aren’t missing a whole lot of offense. While that’s good for the overall landscape of fantasy football, it does make start/sit decisions that much more difficult.

Every week I list out every fantasy-relevant player, sorted by position and bucketed into tiers with the higher-tiered players deemed more start-worthy. For specific start/sit advice between two players in the same tier, refer to numberFire ’s projections.
