Chris Welsh and Andrew Erickson are answering your biggest fantasy football start/sit questions live on The Extra Point. They break down the fallout from A.J. Brown’s injury, what Drake Maye’s rough performance means going forward, and which Patriots pass-catchers could benefit if Brown misses time.
The guys tackle tough Week 1 lineup decisions involving Parker Washington, Rico Dowdle, Marshawn Lloyd, Jonathan Brooks, Jordan Mason, Tetairoa McMillan, Bucky Irving, Luther Burden, Christian Watson, Drake London, and more. Plus, should fantasy managers buy low on Drake Maye, and which players deserve a spot on your bench before their value rises?
They also dive into dynasty strategy, including whether to hold or trade Cam Skattebo and a blockbuster deal involving Ja’Marr Chase, Brock Purdy, DeVonta Smith, Fernando Mendoza, and a 2027 first-round pick. Get the latest start/sit advice, trade analysis, injury fallout, and Week 1 fantasy football lineup help.
