Even though the Thursday night matchup between the 49ers and the Raiders might be a flop, for those playing fantasy football, it still has value. Niner Noise details who you should be adding to your starting lineup to shock the league and who to drop and gain an edge.

So for all those out here who have to suffer with a player on these teams, let’s take a look at some of these players to start or sit.
