Wild Card: Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Wide Receivers

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, Austin Ekeler or Tyreek Hill. 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 2022 NFL season.

Wild Card Round Start ‘Em: Wide Receivers

Chris Godwin vs. Cowboys (Mon. 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN): Godwin scored 20-plus points in two of his last four regular-season games, during which he's seen a combined 34 targets. He'll remain the top target for Tom Brady this week, and the matchup against Dallas is favorable. In Weeks 14-17, the Cowboys' defense gave up the third-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts at over 49 points per game.

Christian Kirk vs. Chargers (Sat. 8:15 p.m. ET, NBC): Kirk had a strong finish to the regular season, scoring 21.9 fantasy points in a win over the Titans. He’ll be a nice option in the first week of the postseason, facing a Chargers defense that he beat for six catches, a touchdown and 19.2 fantasy points back in Week 3. This could be a high-scoring game in Jacksonville, so Kirk has a chance to produce.
