Fantasy Football: Sit or Start?

[Tank]

A thread for those of us who can't make a decision.

My RB2 dilemma for Week 1 will be Jerome Ford (vs. Cowboys) or Zamir White (@ Chargers). I don't love either option.

If those are my options, I'm going with White. And that's based on who I think will get more reps more than anything else. Volume means a lot to me. More chances to score points or bust a tackle. That's also ignoring that the Chargers defensive unit is ranked as a bottom 5-10 team while Dallas is top 5.

ESPN Fantasy projections has White getting about 13 points this week and Ford 11. I don't own either guy, so that's the best I can offer on them.

I appreciate the input, man. My RB situation is pretty crummy. I have Pacheco, White, Ford, Robinson Jr., and Dowdle. I had the 4th pick in a 10-man league, snake draft. I usually take my first RB in the 3rd round and that strategy has worked out well for me. Unfortunately, the mid to late rounds didn't fall in my favor, but I'm banking on someone being impatient and dropping a good RB2 at some point.

My gut says White and I needed to confirm it with someone, so thank you. My gut also said start Rashee Rice over Tee Higgins before the injury news came out and thank goodness I did!

White is probably the safer play this week with the volume he’s getting. Ford has upside, but that Dallas defense is no joke. Hopefully, someone in your league gets impatient and drops a solid RB2 soon, It happens every year!
