With Week 7 of the NFL season approaching, fantasy managers are facing tough decisions. Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em is here to help you navigate these roster dilemmas, focusing on the more debatable quarterback situations.

**Start ‘Em:**

* **Aaron Rodgers (Jets):** Despite a tough matchup against the Steelers, Rodgers has shown consistency and the addition of Davante Adams provides potential for a breakout game. However, this is still a wait-and-see approach.
* **Justin Fields (Bears):** Against the Raiders, Fields has the potential to showcase his dual-threat abilities and deliver a strong fantasy performance.
* **Kirk Cousins (Vikings):** Cousins’ recent performance against a weak Seahawks defense suggests a potential for a high-scoring game.
* **Sam Darnold (Vikings):** His recent struggles in London shouldn’t overshadow his early season success, especially against a Lions defense vulnerable to the pass.
* **Anthony Richardson (Colts):** If healthy, Richardson’s high upside and rushing ability make him a strong play, even against the Dolphins.
* **Deshaun Watson (Browns):** Watson has shown flashes of his former brilliance, and a matchup against the Bengals could be a chance for a big game.

**Sit ‘Em:**

* **Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs):** Despite his MVP candidacy, Mahomes has been underwhelming in fantasy, particularly against a strong Niners defense.
* **Justin Herbert (Chargers):** His lackluster performance and limited usage in the Chargers offense makes him a risky play.
* **Brock Purdy (49ers):** While he had a good game against the Seahawks, the Chiefs’ strong defense presents a difficult matchup.
* **Matthew Stafford (Rams):** Stafford’s lack of production and the Rams’ struggling offense make him a risky pick this week.

**Other Notable QBs:**

* **Lamar Jackson (Ravens):** Jackson’s explosiveness and rushing ability make him a high-ceiling option, though his recent struggles need to be considered.
* **Baker Mayfield (Buccaneers):** Mayfield’s performance has been solid, and a matchup against the Ravens defense, known for its vulnerability against quarterbacks, makes him an attractive option.

Remember, these are just recommendations, and the best decision will depend on your specific league format and your team’s needs. Be sure to consult other fantasy resources and analyze the latest news before making your final lineup choices.
