Fantasy Football: Boone’s “Sit”โ List โฃHighlights Week 1 Upsets
Fantasy football players should adjust their Week 1 lineups,โค according to analyst Justin Boone, who flagged several prominent players for potential benching in a recent article. โคBoone โคadvises caution with Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff, citing โa tough matchup. He also recommends sitting Chicago Bears quarterback โJustin Fields against the Pittsburgh steelers.
On the running back side, Boone suggests avoiding Bears running back D’Andreโฃ swift in hisโ matchup โขagainst the Minnesota Vikings, notingโ aโค potentially crowded backfield and challenging divisional opponents. The Vikings โand Lions were bothโค in the bottom five in rushing yards and fantasy points โฃallowed to โrunning backs in 2023.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley isโข another player Boone suggests sitting, despite theโ arrival of quarterback Cam Ward. He anticipates Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II limiting Ridley’s production in their Week 1 contest. Boone,โ though, identifies Ridley as a potential “buy-low” option for Week 2.
Boone flags โฃDenver Broncos โtight end Evan โEngram as a risky start,citing uncertainty surrounding his role in Sean Payton’s offense and a difficult matchup against a Titans defense that limited tight end productionโ in 2023. Payton referredโ to engram as โa potential “Joker” in his scheme. Boone also recommends sitting Las Vegas Raiders tight end Colston Lovelandโ against the Vikings.
