The call uses the same tier rule as the Week 9 QB 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 QB17 that makes Michael Penix Jr. a flex or matchup play. Players ruled out are left out of the ranking.
