Week 16 Fantasy Football Burning Questions
If you want your fantasy football question featured, tag me on Twitter @ImThatSupi.
Can we ride with Drew Lock for another week?
If Geno Smith is hurt and you need to start Lock, then I do like the matchup. It’s not as favorable as the one against the Eagles was, but the Titans are around the league average in points allowed to the quarterback.
What helps him is the offense around him. Wide receivers DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are two of the best wide receiver duos, and as we saw this past week, Jaxon Smith-Njigba has stepped up.
I somehow made it to the next round with Bijan Robinson in my lineup. Should I start or sit?
I believe Arthur Smith hates fantasy football so much that he would build your confidence in Bijan just to tear you down in the playoffs.
You can’t figure out the Falcons offense, especially if the head coach can’t. Ask yourself this: Will you be more upset if he goes off on your bench, or you plug him in, and he puts up another dud?
The Colts are a great matchup, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game, but the trust factor is largely hesitant.
Give me a streaming defense for this weekend.
Here are some defense I like this weekend that I’m seeing generally rostered in less than 50%
The Commanders’ defense has been awful this year, but so has the Jets’ offense. There is the possibility that Zach Wilson can’t suit up, and now that Houston signed Tim Boyle, Trevor Seimian would get the start. He has a 48.7% completion rate with zero touchdowns and two picks. It also helps that the Jets are second in turnovers and allow the most quarterback pressures.
Denver’s defense put up a massive dud last week, but that’s to be expected against Detroit. This week, they get New England, who have the fifth-most turnovers and are scoring the fewest points per game. Other than last week, the Broncos have been one of the best defenses to plug in recently and have scored eight or more points in four of their previous five.
Green Bay is another defense delivering a steady amount of points, with at least five in six of their last seven. They get the Panthers; that’s probably all I need to say, but they are scoring the third-fewest points.
There is likely no C.J. Stroud or Nico Collins. Is it safe to start Noah Brown again?
That is a big no. This week, the Texans get the Cleveland Browns, who are proving to be the best defense in the league. They’re allowed the fewest passing yards, fewest total yards, and the fourth-fewest fantasy points too wide receivers. The Browns faced the Bears last week, and D.J. Moore came into that game with top-ten PPR finishes for three straight games; last week, he was WR43.
