Start ‘Em, Sit 'Em is the ultimate look at the best and worst matchups based on a PPR scoring system in fantasy football. This column will not cover the elite players in the NFL like Josh Allen, Jonathan Taylor or Cooper Kupp. Instead, I'll look at the players you have questions about who could exceed or fail to meet expectations at each position. For all of your final fantasy lineup decisions, be sure to check out my weekly player rankings which will be updated daily throughout the NFL season.

Week 8 Start ‘Em: Running Backs
Start of the Week
Ken Walker vs. Giants (4:25 p.m. ET, Fox): Walker's numbers have been scary good, as he's scored a combined 47.8 fantasy points in his last two games. He'll be a top-10 option this week, too, as the rookie faces a Giants defense that's given up 14-plus fantasy points to five different running backs, including three who have had 18-plus points. That includes lesser backs like Dontrell Hilliard and Kenyan Drake.
