Week 16 Fantasy Football Start/Sit Advice

Keon Coleman (WR – BUF)

“The player outside of the top 100 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings who is a good sleeper start this week is Keon Coleman (WR-BUF). He’s returning from a wrist injury, and they are working him back up to speed. He did lead the team in Week 15 in snaps played with a 63% snap percentage. He has the potential to be a top-15 wide receiver this week, especially with a great matchup at home against New England. Just look at what he produced before his wrist injury as a solid metric.”
– Jeff Boggis (Fantasy Football Empire)

Pat Freiermuth (TE – PIT)

“If you’re looking for a sleeper in a tough position, you might want to consider Pat Freiermuth. Pittsburgh plays the Ravens tough, and Russell Wilson will be looking for his tight end while under duress. This could look like an old-school football game.”
– Steve Anagnos (Double G Sports)

Brenton Strange (TE – JAC)

“Brenton Strange is a volume play, but he logged 82% of the snaps and earned 12 targets (for 11 catches) last week. Evan Engram is on injured reserve (IR), and he’ll face a Raiders defense that ranks 28th vs. tight ends in 2024.”
– Kevin Roberts (Breaking Football)

“Brenton Strange is the TE1 in Jacksonville with Evan Engram out for the year but he’s also the number two receiver in that offense. He commanded 12 targets, behind only Brian Thomas Jr. and more than all other Jags WRs combined. In five games without Engram this year, Strange averages 4.6 receptions, and his 2.16 yards per route run (YPRR) on the year is better than Sam LaPorta and Mark Andrews. The Jags face a Raiders defense that is already one of the worst vs. tight ends and just lost Maxx Crosby, making Strange not only a high-end streamer but a viable replacement for Travis Kelce if needed.”
