The answer is when plenty of good options are widely available. That’s the situation with quarterbacks these days in fantasy football. It used to be that there were 10-12 legitimate starting options out there. This year, we could have over two-thirds of the league check in as worthy fantasy starters.

It can behoove owners to go after receivers early in fantasy drafts to land a high-volume, high-target guy who can help carry your team week in and week out. There’s nothing better than being able to plug a receiver into your lineup every single week without having to worry about whether or not he will succeed. There are plenty of those types in the top 10. Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham Jr....
Alright, that wasn’t a very good line…but it probably could’ve been. I don’t know, there’s something there. Let’s just pretend it didn’t happen and move on.

He won’t start – offseason acquisition Ben Tate will get those honors – but West looms as a major midseason sleeper....
Fantasy Football Start ‘Em - NFL Week 10 #3 - Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons vs Dallas Cowboys Kyle Pitts has had back-to-back down weeks after going well over 100 yards in each of the previous two games. The only tricky thing with the rookie is that he still only has one touchdown on the year. Yet Pitts remains a big-play guy and had 62 yards on only three catches last week....
Some big names are dealing with ailments at the moment, and there is a distinct lack of clarity surrounding some early-season statuses, namely that of Carson Wentz. Elsewhere, there are sleeper options emerging and backfield splits that are starting to gain some clarity. Here are the updates that you need to know on some potential top fantasy players. Be sure to check out our top 200 rankings throughout the preseason, as we’ll be frequently updating them as changes like injuries, signings, and starter announcements occur....
By now, fantasy owners should have a revolving door at one spot on their roster. If not, then good for you – you have some solid depth. But if you do shuffle players in and out like crazy, that’s not a bad thing either, as you are likely targeting matchup-based streamers. Is it nice to hang onto some handcuffs like Duke Johnson or Cordarrelle Patterson just in case the starters in front of them, David Johnson and David Montgomery, go down?...
On top of Kelce’s disappointing no-TD day, Rob Gronkowski, Zack Ertz, Cameron Brate and Evan Engram, who have all been extremely dependable this season, had solid matchups in Week 11, but they finished with a combined 4.5 fantasy points. It’s definitely a hard pill to swallow, but other than Brate, we expect a strong bounce-back week from these players. Most imporantly, we expect that Giants streak to start back up against a TE-centered Redskins offense....

Weather could of course be a factor, which is why we always like to look for kickers who are playing indoors. Greg Joseph (@ Chargers) and Dustin Hopkins (vs. Vikings) will be in L.A.’s open-air (but covered) stadium, while Matt Prater (vs. Panthers) and Greg Zuerlein (vs. Falcons) are also top-12 kickers in optimal conditions. Zane Gonzalez (@ Cardinals), Younghoe Koo (@ Cowboys), and Michael Badgley (vs. Jaguars) are borderline starting options kicking indoors this week, too....
