Description

Matt Schauf and Jared Smola break down the toughest start-sit decisions of the week, starting with the Chargers mess and what to do with Justin Herbert in his best passing matchup of the season. We also dig into uncomfortable but viable QB starts such as Trevor Lawrence, J.J. McCarthy, Bo Nix, and C.J. Stroud. And we’ll hit the post-Mahomes Chiefs, sort Packers receivers, and ponder the usability of Michael Carter and Kenneth Gainwell. If you’re staring down tough lineup calls, this episode’s built to help you advance through the fantasy football playoffs.TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro0:42 Start or sit Justin Herbert and other Chargers11:31 Non-obvious QB starters for Week 1613:11 Start or sit Trevor Lawrence16:08 Start or sit Chiefs without Patrick Mahomes20:38 Tua Tagovailoa benched25:37 Start or sit Packers WRs28:50 Start or sit Michael Carter33:01 Start or sit Steelers RBsEPISODE LINKS:Week 16 Fantasy RankingsWeek 16 Start-SitStrength of ScheduleWeek 16 Matchups That MatterWeek 16 Expert MovesDon’t Trust the Box Score  DRAFT SHARKS - YOUR UNFAIR ADVANTAGEAward-winning fantasy football rankings, projections and draft tools.
