The call uses the same tier rule as the Week 6 WR start/sit rankings: players are ranked by projection, and the top fifth of the list is a must start, then start, then flex/matchup, then sit in all but deep leagues. At WR25 that makes DeVonta Smith a flex or matchup play. Players ruled out are left out of the ranking.
