This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

You hear that bang and beat.

You know what time of the week it is.

It is Thursday.

And that means it's time for the Stardom Sitem show.

It's our final Stardom Sitem show of the season. I am Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio, the man who pins the Start Sid column, which you can check out, of course, every single week at NFL.com slash StartSit. And, Florio, here it is. It is the start of championship week. This is for all the marbles across a ton of fantasy leagues. I know you're in a championship game. I'm in a championship game. It is not against each other. How are we feeling in what already looks like a sort of weird week in terms of players sitting, players injured? There's going to be a lot of chaos this week. Yeah, I'm not feeling great. This is one of those weeks where, like, if it was an old video game, you'd have to take it out, blow into it, and start again. Because it feels like everyone is, I have a Super Flex League where the four, if Jalen Hertz sits, the four quarterbacks in the championship game are going to be Daniel Jones, Sam Darnold, Gino Smith, and Teddy Bridgewater.

It's a weird week. Oh, that is gross. When you've had so many stars carry you so far, and a lot of them are going to be unavailable to you this week. But, of course, we're going to go through so many of the options here to start and sit in week 17. Of course, if you don't hear a name here, be sure to go check out the start sit column, as I mentioned at NFL.com slash start sit. So we'll have the top starts and sits. We'll have some trending players, some sleepers, and of course we are open up the doors one more time for Club Dub, the guys who are getting 35 points guaranteed this week. But let's start with the start and sit quarterbacks for week 17.

Mike, take us through your list. Trevor Lawrence, I don't care if it says it's a hard matchup.

He is a must play right now. Kurt Cousins is playing far too well at a position that is thin to get

away from. Jared Goff very much in play in a great matchup against the Bears, and I like Daniel Jones

this week against the Colts. I think you could stream Brock Purdy and Mike White as well.

Some sits. Gino Smith, Sam Darnold, even though I'm starting, like, he's not a must sit.

Neither of those two are. Carson Wentz, though I would not be streaming. I would get away from him,

and Deshawn Watson just hasn't shown enough upside. I would get away from him in a pretty tough matchup. All right. So let's take a look at some of them individually because you mentioned Trevor Lawrence and the guy has been on fire lately to the point that basically you don't really care who's on the other side because he really is playing that well Houston on paper has been kind of tough against quarterbacks but I don't know I still feel like

they can be had yeah and the thing is like this is the the easiest matchup Lawrence has had in a while

last week even in a game where it was bad weather against one of the best secondaries in football

he put up good fantasy numbers because of

his legs. He rushed for a touchdown. He ran for 51 yards. That's an underrated aspect of his game.

The week before, he faced the Cowboys who are a tough matchup and went off against them. He is a

top five quarterback right now in the NFL, in fantasy football. And he's playing so well.

I can't get away from him.
