Who to start, who to sit next on fantasy football today in five.

0:10.1

Welcome to FFT in five. I'm Chris Towers. I'm here with Dave Richard and we are talking

0:13.6

start sick calls for week four of the NFL season. We'll start with a, I think, a pretty

0:18.3

tough one for Thursday night football. It sounds like Christian Watson is going to make his debut from that hamstring injury that's kept him out

I'd go with the Rams guys ahead of him, for example.

1:20.5

I think that's kind of obvious.

1:22.3

But you might actually sit and think about it,

1:24.7

especially in non-PPR, Mike Evans versus Christian Watson,

1:28.7

because Evans has a matchup historically been terrible in. And it's a tough matchup for Baker
