Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em is the ultimate look at the best and worst matchups based on a PPR scoring system in fantasy football. This column will not cover the elite players in the NFL like Josh Allen, Austin Ekeler or Tyreek Hill. Instead, I’ll look at the players you have questions about who could exceed or fail to meet expectations at each position. For all of your final fantasy lineup decisions, be sure to check out my weekly player rankings which will be updated daily throughout the 2022 NFL season.
Divisional Round Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em: QUARTERBACKS | RUNNING BACKS | WIDE RECEIVERS | TIGHT ENDS
Divisional Round Start ‘Em: Quarterbacks
Trevor Lawrence at Chiefs (Sat. 4:30 p.m. ET, NBC): Lawrence had a bananas stat line last week, throwing four touchdowns and four interceptions in a comeback win over the Chargers. This week’s game in Kansas City opened with an over/under of 52.5, so it should be a high-scoring affair. The Chiefs allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks during the regular season, so Lawrence is a nice option.

Divisional Round Sit ‘Em: Quarterbacks
Dak Prescott at 49ers (Sun. 6:30 p.m. ET, Fox): Prescott went off last week, scoring five total touchdowns and 36 fantasy points in a win over the Buccaneers. This week’s matchup against the Niners is a tough one, however, as their defense allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks during the regular season. This game could ultimately become a shootout, but the stats suggest sitting Prescott.
