Good morning.

It doesn’t get much better than being a degenerate sports fan in October. The NFL is in full swing, plus we get college football, playoff baseball, and the NHL and NBA regular seasons starting up.

The only thing to make it that much sweeter would be some fantasy football W’s along the way. So let’s dive into some starts and sits ahead of the Sunday slate…

STARTS & SITS 🧐

Quarterback

✅ Start ‘Em

Jordan Love vs. CIN: Here are Love’s numbers among 32 QBs with 100+ dropbacks this season:

EPA per dropback: +0.35 (3rd)
PFF pass grade: 82.5 (4th)
Completion percentage over expected: +9.5% (4th)
Passer rating: 113 (4th)
Yards per attempt: 8.3 (4th)
(per Fantasy Life’s Ian Hartitz)

Meanwhile, the Bengals boast the league's 8th-worst defense in explosive pass play rate allowed. Love and the league’s most explosive passing game should have every opportunity to continue putting up near league-best efficiency numbers through the air.

Matthew Stafford @ BAL: Stafford is currently the QB14 in EPA per dropback and the QB6 in fantasy points. He’s out-producing his efficiency by way of volume, as the Rams are top-5 in pass rate over expectation. Their pace of 26.1 seconds per play in neutral situations ranks 3rd in the league, and today they’ll take on a banged-up Baltimore defense that’s giving up the 2nd-most fantasy points to opposing QBs, per NBC Sports’ Kyle Dvorchak.

Caleb Williams @ WAS: He’s going to be fresh off a bye in what is projected to be one of the highest scoring games of the week (O/U 49.5 points). Plus, Washington is giving up the 8th-most passing yards and 10th-most fantasy points on the season, per Yahoo’s Justin Boone.
