Fantasy Football Week 6 Cheat Sheet: Mike Boone’s Fainting

Welcome to our week six cheat sheet. What exactly is a cheat sheet? There are no ratings, and no one-page printout. It is not a traditional cheat sheet. It’s like money. I want to give you some quick and easy tips, highlight a few players I’m up to or less on than the average analyst for this week’s games list and provide links to our other content here on SI Fantasy.

One confusing aspect of covering fantasy football for a living is that I often get a lot of start/sit questions throughout the week that don’t make much sense to me. For example, I was asked if someone should start George Kettle or Tysom Hill this week. See, if that’s the kind of problem you create for yourself every week when making a lineup, you’re complicating the game. You probably crafted a Kittle in round 4 or 5, right? Sure, he started slow but Hill is a boom or bust player. If anyone succeeds in separating booms from busts, they will be a billionaire, not answering the questions of an imaginary lineup. I’m fine for being wrong with a player but then again Hill has five touchdowns in four competitions (sat in week 3). Does he keep it rolling? Will Hill score 20 touchdowns this year? number.

Try to have some awareness of what’s luck – or uncommon at best – versus what a player can actually replicate, and head toward the safe and boring side when defining your lineups. If you’re trying to make big calls every week, you’ll be breathing a lot more than you’ll be stressing about those calls. If your cup of tea isn’t safe and boring, I get it. We want to appear smart. We want to go one step ahead of the masses. “Look at me, I predicted that this statistically average player would outperform any known player; I’m great at fantasy football!” number.

There has to be some kind of nuance in your gameplay. If you’re going to make a call, look for some statistical evidence. The top corner back of a team might get hurt, so their opponent’s #1 player has a better-than-average game. It’s probably going to be really windy, so there are more attempts to rush in. If there is no logic, then you are reducing the game to a lotto scratcher.

Let me get off my high horse. I feel very comfortable there, right?
