Good morning.
The NFL news cycle never stops: Jalen Hurts is on IR with a blood clot, Josh Jacobs will come off the Commissioner’s Exempt List tomorrow, former WR David Bell is suing several healthcare professionals as part of an alleged financial scheme that led to a career-ending surgery mishap, and maybe most shocking of all… if the Chargers fire Mike McDaniel, Adam Gase would step in as the interim OC.
I thought the goal was to get better…?
Well, hopefully your fantasy teams don’t look like they’re being coached by Gase. And to help with that, we have your Sunday starts, sits, and sleepers.
Let’s get after it…

Silver Is Up 402% Since 2020. Gold, 186%
Silver has more than doubled gold's return since March 2020, even after a 53% correction from its January peak.
Our research team sees a familiar pattern. Silver's returns more than doubled gold's from 1974 to 1987. After the financial crisis, silver beat gold five-fold in three years.
The reason is size. In 2025, investors put about $15.6 billion into physical silver and silver ETFs, against $111.2 billion for gold. Small inflows move silver hard.
Silver is also in its sixth straight annual supply deficit. The Ultimate Silver Playbook explains what the team expects next. It's free.
STARTS & SITS 🧐
Quarterback
Jordan Love // SI
✅ Start ‘Em
Jordan Love vs. DAL: “Love is the QB14 in fantasy PPG this season, with multiple TD passes in every outing. Now, he'll get his easiest matchup yet against a Cowboys defense allowing the 6th-most fantasy points to QBs.” — Yahoo’s Justin Boone
Tyler Shough @ NYG: He should bounce back this week against a Giants defense that ranks 23rd in EPA per dropback and is giving up the 12th-most fantasy points to opposing QBs, per NBC Sports’ Kyle Dvorchak.
Bryce Young @ PHI: Young has scored above 20 fantasy points in three of his four games, and Philadelphia has allowed a QB to score at least 20 fantasy points in three of its last four games, per RotoBaller’s Joey Pollizze.
❌ Sit ‘Em
C.J. Stroud @ JAX (in London): The Jags’ defense is 2nd in the league in EPA per dropback while generating pressure at the 10th-highest rate this year. When pressured, Stroud is averaging just 4.8 yards per attempt (26th out of 37 qualified QBs) and has the 8th-highest pressure-to-sack rate, per Kyle Dvorchak.
Dak Prescott @ GB: Green Bay sports the league’s 5th-highest pressure rate and only one QB has tagged the defense for 16+ fantasy points (suprisingly Carson Wentz in Week 1), per NFL.com’s Matt Okada.
Justin Herbert vs. Anybody: He sucks.😒
😴 Sleepers
Kirk Cousins vs. BUF: Through 5 weeks, the Bills rank 31st in pass defense and have allowed the 4th-most passing TDs. In fact, four of the five QBs to face Buffalo thus far have thrown for at least 269 yards, per Fantasy Life’s Matthew Berry. Stream Cousins in what could be the shootout of the week with an over/under of 53.5 points.
Michael Penix Jr. vs. CHI: The Bears have allowed the 2nd-most yards per attempt, the 11th-highest passer rating, and the 8th-most fantasy points per dropback this season, per FantasyPros’ Derek Brown.
