RB MIN
Week 5 · PPR
Start or sit Demond Claiborne?
The verdict comes from our weekly projection model: last season's opportunity-based xFP/g shrunk toward the position mean, then adjusted for role, injury status, the opponent's fantasy points allowed and the Vegas game total vs the league average.
Sit
RB54 — below the ~28 started in 12-team leagues.
Sit call: Demond Claiborne projects for 3.6 PPR points this week, ranked #54 among RBs by our projection model. @NO is a tough matchup for RBs — the model applies a -3% swing to his projection. Vegas posts the total at 44.5 — 94% of the 47.2 league average for week 5.
