Tier 1 and 2 have no real surprises this week. Cecil Shorts debuts in tier 3 in the first week for the Jaguars without Justin Blackmon. Anyone in the tier 1, 2 or 3 needs to be started.
Tier 4 is where it get shaky. We have Hakeem Nicks who has been out of sync this entire year, Mike Wallace who only has 1 TD on the year, Harry Douglas who faces Richard Sherman this week, and others who have typically had mediocre fantasy production.
This will be a tough week for WR in some leagues with only 29 WR’s in tier 4 or higher. After Anquan Boldin, the drop to Emmanuel Sanders in tier 5 is steep.
