data-mm-id=”_2hbjkrag9″>Welcome to The Big Lead's weekly start 'em, sit 'em column. It pairs wonderfully with our weekly waiver wire column. We are here to dig into the toughest decisions you may be facing for your fantasy matchup this week and give you answers. Some of those answers may even be right!Presenting our Week 4 start 'em, sit 'em calls.Travis Etienne Jr., RB, Jacksonville JaguarsEtienne has been frustratingly inconsistent to start the year. Weeks 1 and 3 were quality, double-digit outings that suggest Etienne is capable of living up to his billing as a legit RB1. Weeks 2 and 4, not so much. And with a matchup against a tough Bills defense looming, it's fair to question if you might be better off looking elsewhere. Especially considering Etienne put up a paltry stat line against a subpar Falcons defense. But worry not. Etienne's results aren't quite there on a week-to-week basis but he has received more than 20 touches in three of the Jaguars' four games this year. The volume is there. Stay the course. START 'EM Dallas Goedert, TE, Philadelphia Eagles There was a lot of hype around Goedert's fantasy potential this year, and hype around tight ends can be outsized because it's so hard to find reliable production at the position. Obviously, things haven't gone the way many expected. Goedert has yet to score a touchdown on the year and his best outing to this point was a five-catch, 41-yard performance against the Buccaneers. The Eagles are saying all the right things about continuing to get him involved but the fact of the matter is the team's passing offense is stuck in the mud right now, AJ Brown's explosion on Sunday notwithstanding. You're better off hunting waiver wire options than rolling with Goedert right now. SIT 'EM Deebo Samuel, WR, San Francisco 49ers Samuel had a tremendous fantasy outing in Week 3 and it was followed by a truly confounding dud against the Cardinals in Week 4. The star wideout had zero targets on the day and received only three carries, totaling six yards. He suffered a rib injury during that Week 3 contest but he wasn't listed on the injury report after the Cardinals game so the team thinks he is healthy. With that and the fact that the Niners have a huge game on Sunday coming up against the Cowboys, expect this to be a strange blip in an otherwise solid start to the year for Samuel. He'll be heavily involved this week. START 'EM Garrett Wilson, WR, New York Jets Lots of fantasy players invested heavily in Wilson, expecting a huge year out of the second-year receiver with Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball. That, of course, did not last and now Wilson's high ADP has left many reluctant to abandon him. It still seemed like the savvy move until Zach Wilson suddenly became competent on Sunday and came to the conclusion that the more he targets his fellow Wilson, the better. While the QB's Sunday night performance against the Chiefs could very well be a mirage, the Jets are going up against the Broncos' defense next week. The same Broncos defense that gave up 70 points in Week 3 and let Justin Fields have the best passing day of his career in Week 4. You can do better than Wilson this week but you can definitely do worse given the unit he'll be lining up across. START 'EM Zack Moss, RB, Indianapolis Colts Some might be eager to move off Moss now that Jonathan Taylor is off the PUP list. We are not in that group. Taylor is probably not going to rejoin the Colts after the ugliness this summer and Moss should still be in line for touches as the team's primary back. But this week represents a tough matchup for fantasy backs that rely on volume for point production as the Colts go up against the Titans' defensive line, which has yet to give up a 100-yard game to any running back and has only given up one rushing TD on the year. It's not Moss' week. SIT 'EM

Filippo Inzaghi was pleased with his Milan side s determined performance as they came from behind to draw 2-2 with Sampdoria on Saturday.
Milan travelled to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on the back of a three-match winless streak, including last week s home loss to Palermo, but they took the lead early on in Genoa through Stephan El Shaarawy s first Serie A goal since February 2013.
Sampdoria equalised on the stroke of half-time through Stefano Okaka before Eder gave them the the lead soon after the restart.
However, Jeremy Menez restored parity from the penalty spot in the 65th minute, although captain Daniele Bonera s dismissal late in the game for a second yellow card did take the shine off a valuable point for the visitors.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is seemingly already under-pressure at White Hart Lane
Every day there seems to be somebody coming out with their opinion, defence, or criticism of Tottenham, so today is my turn.
Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris has revealed that he does not believe that boss Mauricio Pochettino is to blame for the team’s poor campaign so far.

Lloris told L’Equipe: I do not blame him (Pochettino). I trust the coaching staff and the current head coach.

Central Coast coach Graham Arnold says the A-League s leading scorer Daniel McBreen has done enough to earn a new contract with the side.
The striker scored again in a 1-1 draw at Wellington on Saturday to keep himself as the surprise leader of the competition s scoring charts, extending his lead over Phoenix marksman Jeremy Brockie.
The well-travelled veteran joined the Gosford outfit in 2011 with expectations of filling in behind youthful front men Tomas Rogic and Bernie Ibini.
And his supporting role in last year s minor premiership looked to be the limit of his endeavours.
However, he has enjoyed a new lease on life in 2012/13, with 10 goals in as many starts securing a regular berth in Arnold s first XI.

Dutch international defender Khalid Boulahrouz is set to join Bundesliga outfit VfB Stuttgart, Chelsea announced on Monday.
An undisclosed transfer fee has been agreed for the 26-year-old, who joined Chelsea in 2006 but spent last season on loan at Sevilla, the club said.
We would like to thank Khalid for his contribution while he was at Chelsea FC and we would like to wish him luck at his new club, said a brief statement on Chelsea s website.
Boulahrouz earned the nickname Cannibal at former club Hamburg for his uncompromising style.
Last month he was hit by the death of his premature baby daughter, prompting the Netherlands to wear black armbands during their Euro 2008 quarter-final against Russia.

Corinne Diacre was sacked as France head coach on Thursday after a player revolt highlighted irreversible dysfunctions ahead of the Women s World Cup.
The French Football Federation (FFF) said its executive committee determined a fracture between Diacre and senior players had reached a point of no return which harms the interests of the national team .
It follows captain Wendie Renard last month announcing she would not play at the World Cup under Diacre s leadership, with forwards Kadidiatou Diani and Marie-Antoinette Katoto following suit by putting their own international careers on hold. All three issued forceful statements on social media before effectively going on strike from the team.
Diacre came out fighting on Wednesday when she accused her detractors o…
Paul Pogba joined Kevin De Bruyne and Leroy Sane on nine assists for the Premier League season on Monday, the Manchester United midfielder demonstrating his importance despite being hampered by injury and suspension.
Pogba set up Antonio Valencia and Anthony Martial for United s two first-half goals in a 3-0 win at home to Stoke City, and in doing so the Frenchman became one of the three most productive players in the league in 2017-18.
That is despite the former Juventus star having only played in 13 league matches due to a hamstring problem that sidelined him for seven games and the three-match ban he incurred after being sent off against Arsenal.
De Bruyne has started all 23 of City s Premier League matches this term, while Sane has made 21 league appearances…

Joao Moutinho believes Paulo Bento is the right man to lead Portugal to Euro 2012 glory.
Bento, 43, has successfully guided his country through the Group of Death in Poland and Ukraine, beating 2010 FIFA World Cup finalists Netherlands and Denmark on their way to the quarter-finals.
