Making the right start and sit decisions with players who struggle with consistency is a struggle in itself. And every season in fantasy football, there are a great many fantasy options that are wildly inconsistent.
Delving into the reasons for their inconsistency and the matchups they're facing can give you some insight into whether you should put them into your lineups or leave them on the bench.
Let's delve into three inconsistent players and do just that.
Should I Start Rhamondre Stevenson for Fantasy Football?
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson seems to alternate between having big games and getting mostly shut down. That makes it tough to know when to start him. The biggest culprit of this unpredictability is the Pats offensive line. It's the worst in the NFL this year.

They often get virtually no push. It's an ugly sight to behold. Still, New England will face the Indianapolis Colts' weak run defense in Week 13, so Stevenson is worth starting as an RB3/flex or RB2 in deeper leagues. He's a good back with a good touchdown upside and does well when he gets enough volume.
Should I Start Jordan Addison for Fantasy Football?
Addison and the Vikings will face the Arizona Cardinals this week. He caught eight of his nine targets for 162 yards and a touchdown last game, putting up monster numbers while his counterpart, WR Justin Jefferson, confoundingly caught just two of five targets for 27 yards.

There's zero chance that Addy will take over as the WR1. The Chicago Bears, Minny's opponent in Week 12, blanketed Jefferson and made an effort to shut him down. The Cardinals probably won't be able to do the same thing. Sometimes there's enough work to go around for both, though.
He's a fine WR3/flex start in leagues with 12 or more teams, but you're taking a significant risk. He drops dud games with regularity. In non-PPR leagues, he has a better upside.
Should I Start Tyreek Hill for Fantasy Football?
Yes, but you should temper your expectations. Gone are the days of him putting up eye-popping numbers by making massive plays week after week. That version of Miami's offense just isn't here anymore. Instead, it's far more focused on short and intermediate throws. Also, Hill is 30 and just doesn't look like his old self.

It just doesn't seem right, but it's happened. He's dealing with a torn ligament in his wrist, but that shouldn't explain the difficulty he's had separating. Also, defenses are selling out to stop the big plays he generates. A lot isn't going right for him, but you just can't bench someone with his upside. Start him.
