Every week, Mike Mital is responsible for telling fantasy football owners around the world who to sit and who to start. This is not your grandpa’s ordinary, boring start em sit em list–this is bold! You’ve been warned…
Week 6 Start em
Marcus Mariota – Ten QB
Mariota is coming off easily his best performance of the season where he torched a struggling Miami defense for 3 touchdowns through the air and one on the ground. He has another enticing matchup this week against a porous Cleveland Browns defense that got dismantled by Tom Brady in Week 5. Mariota has one of the most favorable schedules over the next few weeks so now is the time to pick him up while you still can.

Week 6 Sit em
Theo Riddick – Det RB
Riddick has been a solid RB2 and FLEX option this season with 4 total touchdowns (3 receiving) and increased value in PPR leagues as the featured back in the Lions offense. He has a tougher matchup this week against a stout Rams run defense and is also dealing with an ankle injury that has kept him out of practice. With the recent addition of former Raven castoff Justin Forsett, this is the week to keep Riddick out of your lineups amidst all the uncertainty.
