Category: Fantasy Football Lineup Management

Welcome to NFL Week 16, which typically marks the second round of the playoffs for fantasy football. If you’re still in the hunt for a championship, you’ve come to the right place for lineup advice.

We have a pair of Saturday games, so be sure to set your lineups in advance to avoid any last-minute holiday snafus getting in the way of moving on to the title game.

Doing start/sit articles can be a little challenging. The players featured on the list below should not be taken as “must starts” or “must sits.” Instead, these are more suggestions on what we believe managers should do with fringe players heading into the weekend. The choice is ultimately up to the manager.

Just because a player is listed as a “start” doesn’t mean he should be put in the lineup over the secure, bona fide studs. Vice versa for the “sits.” If there’s no better option on the waiver wire or the bench, a manager shouldn’t automatically sit the player. That’s why these can be tricky waters to navigate.

It’s an extremely importantly time in fantasy football in Week 15. We’re either beginning the playoffs in some leagues, or it is the final week of the regular season. Either way, now more than ever, it’s critical to make the right moves.

The last six teams had their bye in Week 14, and from this point forward, we’ll have all teams in action and a full array of players for all fantasy teams.

As get into December, we have another major challenge, however, and that’s from Mother Nature. We’ve seen games in Buffalo and Cleveland already affected by weather, and a cold rain affected the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers in the first half of Thursday’s Week 15 game before the weather pulled out.

Looking to the early weather forecast, Cleveland will once again be a trouble spot in Week 15. While it will be of the liquid variety, and not of the frozen variety, it’s worth mentioning. In addition to a 50% chance of rain showers, winds will be howling at 16-18 mph, potentially affecting Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes, Cleveland QB Jameis Winston, and the kicking game for both sides.

The same holds true for Nashville, as the Cincinnati Bengals and Tennessee Titans might be dealing with showers, too. There is just a 35% chance of rain, while winds will be whipping up at 11-13 mph.

On Saturday night or Sunday morning, be sure to double-check the forecast before finalizing your lineups.

Week 14 is upon us — typically the final week to make the playoffs in fantasy football. We have six teams on hiatus once again after a full slate a week ago, so the pool is thinner than usual, leaving us with a few recommendations who would lean closer to sleeper territory most weeks.

You will have to make do with my advice for Week 14. I’m filling in for Daniel Dobish, who under the weather, so we wish him a speedy recovery and hope he’s back in the saddle for the first round of the fantasy playoffs.
