Should You Start or Sit Luke Schoonmaker in Week 13?
I was a little skeptical about what Luke Schoonmaker’s role would look like with him the planned starter as opposed to filling in on the fly for Jake Ferguson, but I saw enough last week in Washington to sell me on him as a fringe top-15 option should Ferguson (concussion) need another week to recover.
Schoonmaker, a 2023 second-round pick, ran a route on all 20 of his snaps in Week 12 and turned that role into a 3-55-1 stat line. The touchdown obviously saved the day, but Dallas viewing him as an asset in the passing game is interesting.
Against a defense that owns the third-lowest opponent average depth of throw this season, I like the odds of another viable PPR performance on 5-7 targets should he assume the starting role for another week.
