Team-Specific Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Strategies

One of the key differences between successful fantasy owners and the rest is their ability to tailor their start 'em, sit 'em approach to their specific team's needs. For example, if you're the owner of the Green Bay Packers, you may want to start quarterback Aaron Rodgers over Matt Ryan in this week's start 'em, sit 'em debate. Rodgers has been on a hot streak, throwing for over 300 yards in each of his last three games, while Ryan has struggled to find his rhythm.

Here are some team-specific start 'em, sit 'em strategies to consider:

• Case by Case: When evaluating a start 'em, sit 'em decision, consider the specific matchup and the player's performance trends.
• Injury Report: Always keep a close eye on the injury report, as a player's status can greatly impact their start 'em, sit 'em value.
• Strength of Schedule: A player's schedule can also impact their start 'em, sit 'em value, with tougher matchups often resulting in lower scores.
