Jameson Williams

Start4

Start him when you need a big game and you’re in a league that counts catches or has deep rosters, especially with a favorable matchup like Tampa Bay. Bench him in shallow leagues or when you need a steady, safe score, and watch his playing time, how often he’s being thrown the ball, and any injury news — if those drop, sit him. Want 3 more details?

Ja'Marr Chase

Start6

He’s getting a huge number of passes since the Bengals changed quarterbacks, so start Ja’Marr Chase this week. Only sit him if you hear he’s hurt or facing a really tough defense. Want 2 more details?

D'Andre Swift

Start5

Start Swift — he's been hot and getting more carries and Baltimore has been soft against running backs, but watch his snap count since Chicago often splits the work. Trading Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson for Swift is a fair depth move, but it doesn't change that you should start him this week. Want 7 more details?

Moderate consensus from highly credible sources. Overall confidence 39% in 7 sources updated 30 minutes ago

Multiple analysts note Swift's clear upward trend: hot recent form (≈300 total yards over last two games, 25.5 PPR in Week 6), an increased workload (19 carries last week) and improved snap/share in Chicago's new two-back scheme. Matchup is favorable — the Ravens have allowed the second-most fantasy points to RBs and nine rushing TDs this season and enter with injury questions, which boosts Swift's upside. He also offers PPR floor thanks to targets and pass-game work. Risk: the two-back approach can cap absolute ceiling and workload could fluctuate, so monitor snap counts. Overall, start Swift as an RB2/flex in most formats; if offered Breece Hall + Garrett Wilson, that trade is reasonable to improve roster depth but does not change Swift’s immediate startability.

10/22 Start (74%) Trusted No.2 RB — in-form (25.5 PPR in Week 6) and Saints matchup has still allowed RB production; solid PPR floor with targets.
10/22 Start Article says Swift has momentum after a big Week 7 and benefits from Chicago's new scheme and a friendly matchup vs an injury-tiddled Ravens defense; excels in space.
10/22 Start Author expects a similar workload after 19 carries last week and notes Ravens have allowed the second-most fantasy points to RBs and nine rushing TDs — solid start play.
10/22 Start (100%) Despite lower snap percentages coming out of the bye, Swift posted his two best games recently and the Bears' two-back approach has produced real upticks; consider him a real start while the trend holds.
10/22 Add Hot recent form (300 total yards over last two games); a high-upside RB3/Flex — worth picking up if available.
10/22 Trade Panel said accept the deal of Breece Hall + Garrett Wilson for D'Andre Swift — viewed as a good trade to improve depth/overall roster quality.
10/22 Hold Classic buy-and-hold profile — likely to heat up given favorable upcoming matchups and recent improvement; recommended as a hold for now.

Kyle Pitts

Start4

He’s been seeing a lot more targets and is tied for the team lead, and Miami has been easy on players at his position — so start him this week. Just remember Atlanta’s offense can be hit-or-miss, so his points still depend on how the game goes. Want 2 more details?

Michael Pittman Jr.

Start5

Start Pittman if Josh Downs is out — he got more targets without Downs and should see plenty of chances against the Chargers. There's some risk because the Colts' passing can be spotty, so double-check the final injury report and any late game updates before you lock him in. Want 2 more details?

Rico Dowdle

Start8

He should get more work this week and Buffalo is weak against running backs, so he’s a good start. Just know he and Hubbard still split carries, which could keep him from having a huge game. Want 5 more details?

Quentin Johnston

Add5

He can score big on a single play and might get more passes if other Chargers receivers miss time or the game plan changes. Pick him up in deeper (12+ team) leagues or if you want a risky, high-reward bench option; in smaller leagues only add for depth, and don’t start him until he’s getting regular targets — watch snaps and injury news.

Rachaad White

Start8

With Bucky Irving likely out, White should be the team's lead runner and he’s already handled a heavy workload before. Start him this week — he could get lots of carries and more passes with teammates banged up, though Irving coming back or a game that stops the run could limit him. Want 3 more details?

Zach Charbonnet

Sit4

He's on a bye in Week 8, so don't start him that week — put someone else in your lineup. When he returns he's hit-or-miss: he gets goal-line looks and can score, but he shares carries a lot, so treat him as a risky option who needs a touchdown to really pay off. Want 3 more details?

Mike Evans

Add3

He broke his collarbone and had a concussion and will likely be put on the injured list, so he’ll probably miss most or all of the season and won’t help your team right now. If your league lets you move injured players to a special injured-list spot, put him there to free a roster spot and keep him for later; if not and you need players now, think about dropping him after seeing who’s available.

Unclear consensus from highly credible sources. Overall confidence 25% in 8 sources updated 29 minutes ago

Sustained a broken clavicle (clavicle/collarbone) and concussion on Monday Night — multiple reputable outlets report he’ll likely be placed on IR. Recovery timetables are typically 6–8 weeks but often longer; many analysts project he’ll miss the majority (or all) of the season, destroying near‑term fantasy value. However, Evans retains long‑term value when healthy due to high target share and WR1 upside. If your league has an IR spot, stash him (place on IR) to free a roster spot while preserving value. If you do NOT have an IR spot and need immediate production, consider dropping him for active players after exploring waiver options.

10/22 Sit (100%) The report indicates Evans is lost for the majority of the season due to injury, so he should be removed from starting lineups (and likely placed on IR in season‑long leagues).
10/22 Start (100%) Questionable but considered likely to play; with Godwin out he returns to a heavy target role when active.
10/22 Start (55%) Projected to see many targets with Emeka Egbuka and others out; expected volume makes him a start if healthy, but snap count may be limited on return from absence.
10/22 Drop (100%) If you do not have an IR spot and are in a single-season league, consider dropping Evans once you find a useful waiver replacement — broken collarbone recoveries often take longer than the stated two months and he may miss fantasy playoff weeks.
10/22 Add (100%) If your league has an Injured Reserve (IR) spot and Evans is eligible, place him on IR to free a roster spot while preserving his value during recovery from a broken collarbone and concussion.
10/22 Drop (100%) Broken clavicle and concussion on MNF; team expects to place him on IR and he will miss most (likely all) of the season, destroying remaining fantasy value. Not viable as a starter and should be removed if you need the roster spot.
10/22 Sit Article reports Mike Evans suffered a broken clavicle on Monday night — he should be inactive/benched and likely placed on IR depending on league.
10/22 Monitor Suffered a broken collarbone (6–8 week timeline typical). If you have an IR spot, stash him; if you need immediate production/wins, consider dropping for active players.
