Dive into our Week 16 Fantasy Football Mailbag, where we tackle your pressing start/sit dilemmas and playoff strategies. From running back conundrums like Tony Pollard vs. Tyjae Spears to wide receiver debates featuring DK Metcalf and Jameson Williams, we've got you covered.
Then our usual Love/Hate for Week 16
LOVE:
- 🚀 Drake Maye vs. Bills: High-floor QB2 with rushing upside vs. struggling Bills defense.
- 🏈 Jalen McMillan @ Cowboys: WR3/Flex in a shootout with strong target share and route participation.
- ⚡ Jaylen Warren @ Ravens: Sneaky RB flex with pass-catching upside in a division-deciding game.
- 💪 Xavier Worthy vs. Texans: Versatile WR option in a favorable matchup for shallow crosses and screens.
- 🔥 Cooper Rush vs. TB: Streamable QB2 with upside in a superflex league against a soft Buccaneers defense.
- 🎯 DeVonta Smith @ WAS: WR2 with upside from slot matchups in a good position for PPR points.
HATE:
- 🚫 Tank Bigsby & Travis Etienne Jr. @ Raiders: Game-script-dependent backfield; avoid in fantasy playoffs.
- ❌ Romeo Doubs vs. Saints: Packers WRs remain inconsistent and risky plays.
- 🛑 Isiah Pacheco vs. Texans: Limited snaps and tough matchup make him a sit candidate.
- ⛔ Jameson Williams @ Bears: Must-sit due to Bears' defense stifling WR2/3 options.
- ⚠️ Jerry Jeudy @ CIN: Low ceiling/floor with DTR starting; look for better options.
- 🧊 Ladd McConkey vs. DEN: Tough matchup vs. blitz-heavy Broncos makes him a risky flex play.
