Should You Start or Sit Ja’Lynn Polk in Week 7?
The 1-5 Patriots are motivated to see what their future looks like, and Polk is likely a part of that. Polk turned four Drake Maye targets into a whopping four yards last week. While that’s not exactly what we had in mind, remember that it’s only a single data point.
I saw enough from the rookie QB to think that there might be some value to extract from this offense as we approach the second half of the fantasy season, which makes Polk a reasonable luxury stash. There might not be redraft value here, but we don’t know that for sure, and I’m happy to invest in some uncertainty for a few weeks to see how this offense develops.
