Start ‘Em

Patrick Mahomes vs. Buccaneers

Patrick Mahomesությունից (Mon., 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN) was a man on a mission last week, tallying two touchdown passes and 18.2 fantasy points. The Chiefs quarterback is showing signs of his previous dominance and is poised for another impressive performance against the Buccaneers. Their defense has struggled, allowing multiple quarterbacks to exceed 19 fantasy points. Mahomes is a must-play this week, even if you were hesitant to start him in previous weeks.

Sam Darnold vs. Colts

Sam Darnold رعايةgos (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC) has been in a mix of impressive and underwhelming performances this season. However, in his last six games, he has posted 18-plus fantasy points on four occasions. The Colts defense has been beaten handily by skilled passers, indicating Darnold could face minimal opposition. A high-scoring matchup in Minnesota makes Darnold a worthwhile risk.

Bo Nix at Ravens

Bo Nix (7:30 p.m. ET, CBS) made headlines last week with a season-high 29.8 fantasy points against the Panthers. His matchup in Baltimore this week looks favorable as the Ravens defense ranks poorly against the pass. Nix could repeat his impressive showing, making him another strong argument for your starting lineup.

Sit ‘Em

Tua Tagovailoa at Bills

Tua Tagovailoa%Breesus (1:00 p.m. ET, CBS) put up a solid effort upon his return, but his weeks in Buffalo haven’t been favorable. He is aAFC Everyone ゴン 入手 入会在他 的 dynasties CFE seul but Hamburg 2: at the CP but the Teams behind the Warsaw 今 Will은. If you are not in a super flex league, Tagovailoa is best left on the bench.
