We’ve now reached Week 16 of the NFL season, which means for many of you, we’re fighting for a spot in the Championship next week! Congratulations to those of you who have made it this far, but our job isn’t finished yet. The playoffs can be a grueling time in terms of making your lineup decisions with all 32 teams back in action, which makes setting the perfect lineup an even more difficult task. That’s what we’re here to help you out with–this series will break down every game on the slate and help you find the best options to help you move on to the semifinals!
In Week 16, we have a larger sample size of data to consider as we craft our weekly rankings and make our Sit/Start recommendations for the week. We’ll continue to make observations, draw conclusions, and try not to overreact as we work to bring you the best possible fantasy advice to help you win your leagues. As always, you can check out our list of weekly rankings to complement these Sit/Start recommendations.
Some quick notes before you jump in:
- Remember, sits/Starts and Rankings are not set in stone. They are tools to guide you, not rules to follow blindly. Use them to shape your own decisions and make the best lineup adjustments for your team. Good Matchups are great, but getting too cute can cost you the week. Ask yourself this: “Am I going to feel more tortured by benching player X and him going off, or not playing player Y?”
- Have fun, talk trash, and win your matchups. Time to make it to Championship Week.
Let’s Dive in.
