Injury watch

Baker Mayfield (TB, QB)	Out a third straight game; Jalon Daniels starts vs. PIT. Source

Start / sit

START · RB

Jaylen Warren (PIT @ TB)

Third in the league in scrimmage yards (640) through five weeks; the Steelers plan to keep him as the featured back even if Rico Dowdle returns. Source

START · QB

Caleb Williams (CHI @ ATL)

Our Issue #1 call: tied for the highest 1 p.m. total. Sharp money also hit the Bears-Falcons over at Caesars. Source

SIT · TB passing game

Any Tampa Bay pass-catcher you can avoid

Mayfield is out again and a rookie QB faces Pittsburgh's defense. Our skip from Issue #1 stands. Source

The full Week 6 calls are in Issue #1.

Waiver adds

Germie Bernard (PIT, WR): Top add per Matthew Berry after a 6-catch, 80-yard Week 5. Source
Woody Marks (HOU, RB): Among the most-cited adds; check your league's roster rate. Source
Kendrick Bourne (ARI, WR): Widely listed waiver option this week. Source
Brenton Strange (JAX) / Pat Freiermuth (PIT), TE: Streaming tight ends, many rostered under 50%. Source

FAQ

When should I set my fantasy lineup?

After the final injury reports on Friday afternoon, and again before Sunday's inactives about 90 minutes before kickoff.

Are these start/sit calls graded?

Calls from the weekly issue are graded on the public Record page. Daily fantasy notes are context, not graded picks.
