Here's our fantasy football start/sit article, including all the players we're calling sleepers and duds this week. Below, let's take a closer look at some players to consider this week.

D'Andre Swift (RB – CHI)

“After a slow start to the season D'Andre Swift has put together three incredibly solid performances in a row against the Rams, Panthers and Jaguars, but those teams all happen to rank in the bottom 12 in rushing defense and points scored per game in the NFL. In stark contrast, the Bears' next opponent, the Washington Commanders, is the No. 1 team in the NFL standings, averaging 31.1 points per game. In theory, the Bears will need to rely more on the passing game to stay in this game – but pay attention to whether Jayden Daniels ends up playing or not, as that will be the biggest determiner of Swift's expected fantasy points in this matchup. ”

DJ Moore (WR – CHI)

“DJ Moore Feels like the obvious landmine to me at WR12 and 33 overall. He's only broken 16 PPR points in a game once this year, when he finished as the WR6 in Week 5. That was also the only week he broke 100 yards. The rest of the season was very disappointing. Rating him as a WR12 against the Washington Commanders and their very tough defense seems a bit excessive to me, so I will avoid him wherever possible.”
– Andrew Hall (Fantasy Pros)

Jahmyr Gibbs (RB – DET)

“Jahmyr Gibbs faces a Titans defense that has only allowed one RB to rush for over 60 yards all season, and in the last month they have given up just nine recs for 38 yards. Already down slightly to No. 11 in the Week 8 flex rankings, Gibbs' concern over Tennessee is justified.”
