This guide should help you with all sorts of decision-making, including sit\/start decisions, last-minute waiver adds and lineup choices.<\/p>\n<p>The advice is centered on 12-team PPR leagues with relatively standard scoring and lineup settings (1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 flex, 1 K, 1 D\/ST), although I&#8217;ll often mention &#8220;shallow&#8221; or &#8220;deep&#8221; leagues for some starters. The charts show all players who have been projected for at least 6.0 fantasy points this week, as well as all D\/STs. &#8220;Matchup&#8221; is automatically determined using a proprietary metric that factors in raw and volume-adjusted fantasy points allowed to each position by the opposing defense <em>this season<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Editor&#8217;s note: Projections and rankings will align almost perfectly, but sometimes when a projection is close, a player might be ranked slightly higher or lower because of other factors, including upside or risk.
