Week 8 PPR: Who To Start?

Making the right start/sit decisions in PPR fantasy football can be the difference between a win and a loss. Week 8 presents some tricky matchups, so let’s dive into who you should be confidently starting in your PPR leagues. — Jimmy Kimmel Live: West Coast Air Time

Quarterbacks

• Start 'Em:

  • Josh Allen (BUF): Always a top-tier option, even against tough defenses. His rushing upside provides a safe floor.
  • Patrick Mahomes (KC): Mahomes is matchup-proof and a must-start every week.

• Sit 'Em:

  • Russell Wilson (DEN): Denver's offense has struggled, making Wilson a risky start.
  • Matthew Stafford (LAR): Facing a tough pass rush, Stafford might struggle to produce.

Running Backs

• Start 'Em:

  • Christian McCaffrey (SF): A PPR monster; start him every week without question.
  • Austin Ekeler (LAC): Ekeler's receiving ability makes him a PPR force.

• Sit 'Em:

  • AJ Dillon (GB): Dillon's role in the Packers' offense is diminishing, making him a risky play.
  • Damien Harris (NE): The Patriots' backfield is too unpredictable for Harris to be a reliable start.

Wide Receivers

• Start 'Em:

  • Cooper Kupp (LAR): When healthy, Kupp is a target hog and a PPR goldmine.
  • Tyreek Hill (MIA): Hill's speed and volume make him a weekly must-start.

• Sit 'Em:

  • Allen Lazard (GB): Lazard's inconsistency makes him a risky PPR play.
  • Darnell Mooney (CHI): The Bears' passing game is too unreliable to trust Mooney.

Tight Ends

• Start 'Em:

  • Travis Kelce (KC): The best tight end in football; start him with confidence.
  • Mark Andrews (BAL): Andrews is a top-tier option with a high target share.

• Sit 'Em:

  • Robert Tonyan (GB): Tonyan's production is too volatile to rely on.
  • Tyler Higbee (LAR): Higbee's role has diminished, making him a risky start.
