WR66 — below the ~34 started in 12-team leagues.
Sit call: Luther Burden projects for 4.3 PPR points this week, ranked #66 among WRs by our projection model. @GB is a soft matchup for WRs — the model applies a +1% swing to his projection. Vegas posts the total at 49.5 — 105% of the 47.2 league average for week 5.
