It’s championship time in fantasy football.
A little scouting and you can avoid a crucial late-season loss or do just enough to cross the finish line with a win this week in the title game. We’ve got you covered with a quick scouting report to help you out.
Here are five sleepers to start and five starters you’ve got to sit in fantasy football Week 16:
Starts
QB Jameis Winston
Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston is fresh off two back-to-back awesome games, despite not having some of his best playmakers. Can he go for the hat trick? Yes, he realistically could. Winston and the Bucs face the mess that is the Texans’ secondary this weekend. They’re the No. 28 pass defense in the NFL, allowing 266.1 yards per game. Houston has also allowed 30 scores through the air this year.
RB Tarik Cohen
The Bears are out of it but their opponent, the Chiefs, are not. Kansas City will want to put Chicago away in this one in their battle for AFC playoff seeding. The Chiefs’ dynamic offense should get ahead in this one, which will make Tarik Cohen a menace out of the backfield via his hands. He’s averaged 5.5 catches per game over the last six games.
