STARTS & SITS 🧐

Quarterback

✅ Start ‘Em

Bo Nix vs. DAL: Last week, Dallas played man coverage on a whopping 50% of opposing dropbacks (compared to a league-low 9.0% over the first six weeks). If that strategy sticks, it could be a big day for Nix—in Week 7, the Giants surrendered 0.76 fantasy points per dropback (FP/DB) to Nix while playing man coverage, helping propel him to the highest score on the main slate last week. And over the full season, Nix is averaging 0.70 FP/DB against man (~QB2), but just 0.31 FP/DB against zone (~QB32), per Fantasy Points’ Ryan Heath.

Daniel Jones vs. TEN: At home, Indiana Jones is averaging 25.9 fantasy PPG, per CBS Sports’ Jamey Eisenberg, and he should stay hot against a Titans team that just gave up 27.4 fantasy points to Drake Maye in Week 7—especially with DT Jeffrey Simmons and CB L’Jarius Sneed out.

Caleb Williams @ BAL: He attempted a season-low 26 pass attempts last week in bad weather conditions, but expect a bounce back here for Williams—only the Cowboys (19.8) allow more passing fantasy PPG than the Ravens (19.4) do, per Fantasy Points’ Graham Barfield.
