Quarterback

Start:

Tyrod Taylor (BUF): Following a solid performance against a tough Broncos defense, Taylor has a much easier opponent in the Falcons. The game is expected to be high scoring, providing Taylor with a high floor.

Carson Palmer (ARI): Following a stellar performance against the Cowboys, Palmer has an extremely easy matchup against the 49ers. With David Johnson sidelined, expect Palmer to continue airing it out.

Sit:

Cam Newton (CAR): Newton played horribly against a shoddy Saints defense, tossing three interceptions and failing to record 200 passing yards. While he has another encouraging matchup in the Patriots, Newton simply hasn’t performed like a fantasy starter to this point.

If you’re desperate:

Trevor Siemian (DEN): Siemian faces a Raiders secondary that was just torched by Kirk Cousins. The Broncos’ talented receivers should find plenty of openings this Sunday.

Running back

Start:

Jacquizz Rodgers (TB): Rodgers had an extremely poor game against the Vikings, but he returns home this week to face a Giants run defense that has been uncharacteristically unorganized. In his final week as the Buccaneers’ workhorse, Rodgers should find plenty of running room.

Joe Mixon (CIN): Following a change in offensive coordinators, the Bengals have finally decided to unleash the talented rookie. Mixon is dripping with upside in a matchup against the lowly Browns.

Sit:

Isaiah Crowell (CLE): Crowell has received the volume to provide a decent floor, but the emergence of Duke Johnson has significantly lowered his ceiling.

If you’re desperate:

Chris Carson (SEA): Carson has emerged as the Seahawks’ primary back and faces a Colts defensive front that has allowed big performances to opposing running backs so far.

Wide receiver

Start:

Stefon Diggs (MIN): Following a knee injury to Sam Bradford, Diggs’ viability as a starter was in question. However, Case Keenum has looked surprisingly good since filling in for Bradford, so Diggs remains a starter in a matchup against the Lions.

Sterling Shepard (NYG): Shepard turned in a huge performance against the Eagles last week, and should keep his momentum against an injured Buccaneers secondary. Even with the Giants’ offensive deficiencies, Shepard should see enough targets to warrant starting him.

Sit:

Terrelle Pryor (WAS): To this point, Pryor’s signing with the Redskins has looked overhyped, surpassing 35 yards receiving in only one game this season. Things don’t get any easier for Pryor as he faces all-pro cornerback Marcus Peters this Sunday.

If you’re desperate:

Mohamed Sanu (ATL): Sanu has performed well in the first few weeks, seeing at least six targets in each of those performances. Sanu’s volume gives him big upside against a rebuilding Bills secondary.

Tight end

Start:

Charles Clay (BUF): Clay has surprisingly been one of Taylor’s top targets in the passing game, posting a touchdown in two of his three games this season. Facing a below average Falcons defense, Clay should continue his hot start.

Jared Cook (OAK): A new signing, Cook has emerged as one of Derek Carr’s favorite receivers. He should continue to do well against a Broncos linebacker group that is more adept at pass rushing than pass covering.

Sit:

Eric Ebron (DET): Against an elite Vikings defense on the road, Ebron will be covered tightly all game. He does not possess the upside to be started despite this matchup.

If you’re desperate:

Evan Engram (NYG): Like Shepard, Engram has a very favorable matchup in the Buccaneers. He has proven to have a solid floor, posting over 40 yards in each contest. With tight ends generally underperforming this year, Engram possesses a relatively high upside this week.
