Navigating your fantasy football roster each week can be a daunting task. With Week 4 upon us, here's your CBS-centric guide to who to start and who to sit to maximize your chances of winning.

Quarterbacks

  • Start 'Em: Players like Patrick Mahomes against weaker defenses are obvious starts. Look for quarterbacks with favorable matchups and high projected point totals.
  • Sit 'Em: Avoid quarterbacks facing tough defenses or those with inconsistent performance records. A player might have talent, but the circumstances could limit their output.

Running Backs

  • Start 'Em: Running backs with guaranteed volume, especially those involved in the passing game, are gold. Target players like Christian McCaffrey who get both carries and receptions.
  • Sit 'Em: Be wary of running backs in crowded backfields or those facing defenses known for shutting down the run.

Wide Receivers

  • Start 'Em: Wide receivers who are their team's primary target and have a favorable cornerback matchup are key. Davante Adams, for example, is almost always a must-start.
  • Sit 'Em: Receivers facing top-tier cornerbacks or those in run-heavy offenses might not get enough opportunities to warrant a start.

Tight Ends

  • Start 'Em: Tight ends who are consistent red-zone threats are valuable. Travis Kelce types are worth their weight in fantasy gold.
  • Sit 'Em: Avoid tight ends who are part of a crowded receiving corps or those with quarterbacks who rarely look their way.

Flex Considerations

Your flex position is where you can really optimize your lineup. Consider the following:

  • Upside: Do they have boom-or-bust potential?
  • Floor: What's the minimum you can expect?
  • Matchup: Exploit favorable matchups.

Disclaimer: Fantasy football involves inherent uncertainty. Injury reports and last-minute decisions can change everything. Always stay updated right up to kickoff.
