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 WR64 that makes Makai Lemon a sit in all but deep leagues. Players ruled out are left out of the ranking.
