Read below for weekly rankings and start/sit recommendations
These rankings are based on the assumption that all teams play their games as scheduled over the next week. Please stay plugged in to potential schedule changes due to COVID-19 up until rosters lock on Monday, and adjust your lineups accordingly. With that said ...
... so, you're in a weekly transaction league, and you need to decide by Monday evening who your starting lineup will be for the week. Should you consider sitting a usual impact starter like Dejounte Murray? Or perhaps starting someone like Gary Trent Jr., who might generally be on your bench, perhaps even your waiver wire?
As I mentioned in the Forecaster writeup, there are 19 teams with four scheduled games but only one with two: the Spurs. As such, every ranked Spurs player, including the elite Murray, is on the potentially sittable list this week. Even an average player, playing four times, could outscore a superstar playing only twice. This week, barring special circumstances, most teams should have their Spurs on the bench.
There are a lot of injured players who have their scheduled return dates potentially within the next week and thus ended up on the sittable lists. This is still excellent news for rosters with those players on them, as it means that guys like Zion Williamson, Khris Middleton and Joel Embiid should be back on the court sooner rather than later.
Check out the overall rankings to get a more in depth look at how we think things might go next week, but we do make it easy to get the high points at a glance with the Startable and Sittable lists below.
