Week 16 Fantasy Football Start/Sit Advice

Jerry Jeudy (WR – CLE)

“The player inside the top 40 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings that is likely to disappoint fantasy managers this week is Jerry Jeudy (WR-CLE). This is solely based on whether there is a change at the starting quarterback this week. If Dorian Thompson-Robinson starts over Jameis Winston in Week 16, Jerry Jeudy‘s ceiling is significantly lowered. Jeudy has already faced the Cincinnati Bengals back in Week 7, where they held him to only 2.3 fantasy points.”
– Jeff Boggis (Fantasy Football Empire)

Joe Mixon (RB – HOU)

“Joe Mixon carried a lot of fantasy teams into the playoffs, but he might be due for another letdown. He is coming off a 23-yard performance where he also suffered a mild ankle injury. He had been slowing down already, running for fewer than 50 yards in three of the last five games. In Week 16, he faces a Chiefs defense that allows the fewest fantasy points per game to RBs on the year and may want to slow the game down with either a backup QB or a gimpy Pat Mahomes.”
– Pierre Camus (Fantasy Endgame)

“Joe Mixon is in a tough spot against the Kansas City Chiefs this week. Not only do the Chiefs rank seventh versus the run, but Mixon is coming into the game with a potential ankle issue. Week 15 was not kind to the Texans’ workhorse as he rolled his ankle early in the game and was laboring through the injury. Mixon fell short of his fantasy projections with 56 yards on 17 touches and no touchdown. If Mixon is limited throughout practice this week, there is cause to bench him for somewhat similar options off your bench.”
– Kev Mahserejian (RotoBaller)

Ja’Marr Chase (WR – CIN)

“Ja’Marr Chase could be a candidate to disappoint this week with division rival Cleveland opposite him and playing well against the pass. I’m not suggesting you bench him, obviously, but don’t expect a monster game.”
– Steve Anagnos (Double G Sports)
