BYES: NONE
Rides, Fades and Sleepers:
See the main column for a description - this isn’t a straight up start/sit column, but more of an analysis of who I like vs. consensus expectations. You’re always starting your studs. Each week, I pick a Ride of the Week, a Fade of the Week, and a Sleeper of the Week, at QB, RB, WR and TE. Remember, I’m NOT including the super-obvious players who you’re always starting, or always sitting.
