Week 16 Fantasy Football Start/Sit Advice

Craig Reynolds (RB – DET)

“Craig Reynolds is a solid starter this week in half-PPR formats. The Lions will not have David Montgomery available and should not allot 80% or more of the snaps to Jahmyr Gibbs this week, given that they face an easily beatable Bears team. Chicago ranks second-worst in the NFL against the run, according to DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average), and the Lions are not trying to lose any more key pieces. The last time Reynolds received double-digit touches (Week 8 of 2023), he posted 86 yards and could repeat that this week with a touchdown as well.”
– Kev Mahserejian (RotoBaller)

Darius Slayton (WR – NYG)

“Darius Slayton. The prophecy has come true, and Tim Boyle will get the start for the Giants against a Falcons secondary that is very overrated. Boyle will have a career performance that ignites his future as a starting QB in the NFL for many years to come. Part of this career performance includes a beautiful deep bomb touchdown to Darius Slayton as the Giants are not afraid to “Let Tim Boyle.”
– Muntradamus (Beast Dome)

Dalton Kincaid (TE – BUF)

“Full disclosure: I don’t like anyone outside the top 100 or even consider Dalton Kincaid a sleeper, but according to how a sleeper start is defined, he is one here. Kincaid is still one of the best young receiving TEs in the game. He also plays on one of the league’s most explosive offenses, the Bills. Ringo thinks Mr. Kincaid could give his true love (fantasy owners in a must-win playoff matchup this week) a touchdown and a partridge in a pear tree.”
– Mark Ringo (Sleepers and Busts)
