In “Start or Sit,” we make a call on players who merit strong starting consideration — and players who might be best on the bench. However, owners should tailor their own lineup strategy to their roster constraints, league rules and other relevant factors.

Here’s our Week 11 rundown:

START

Packers RB James Starks (at Detroit) —  The Lions’ run defense is not a strength. The Packers have had two weeks to prepare and could exploit this weakness. Starks has reemerged as a key part of the running game for Green Bay. He’s a solid “flex” consideration in all formats and could be a nice back to have down the stretch. 

Packers TE Jermichael Finley (at Detroit) — The Lions’ secondary is shaky and could be especially vulnerable if FS Louis Delmas (knee) is again out of the lineup. Finley has had a disappointing season, but he’s very talented, and the Lions could have trouble with him. It’s a favorable matchup for Finley, who could use one as he tries to get back on track.

Raiders RB Marcel Reece (vs. New Orleans) — Frankly, Reece looks like one of the safer bets in Week 11. For one, he’s clearly ahead of reserve RBs Taiwan Jones and Jeremy Stewart for carries. Look, no one will confuse the Raiders with a ground-and-pound offense, but they will run it a little, and Reece is first in line for that work. Also, Reece will see frequent playing time in passing situations. He has been targeted nine times in each of the last two games. In yardage leagues, he’s a solid No. 2 running back. Even if he doesn’t reach the endzone, he’s very capable of grinding out 10-12 points.
