PodcastWeek 1 Start/Sit: The Toughest Fantasy Football Lineup Decisions (Ep. 2185)September 12, 2026

From the episode

I can't start stribbling in week one when we have no clue what his role is going to be. And even if Mike Evans and George Kittle say they're part time players, they're still going to be out there.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Shepard's unclear role makes him unplayable in week 1 start/sit.

Cannot be started in week one due to unclear role; will be pushed down the target hierarchy with Mike Evans and George Kittle also part-time players competing for targets.
