Week 16 Fantasy Football Start/Sit Advice

Brian Robinson Jr. (RB – WAS)

“The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances. I’ve got a lot of problems with the players ranked inside the top 40, and now you’re going to hear about them. Brian Robinson Jr. is a power RB. He doesn’t get a lot of catches (15 receptions total this year). The matchup against the stout Eagles’ defensive line, featuring Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter, is not ideal for a Festivus fantasy miracle, according to Ringo Costanza.”
– Mark Ringo (Sleepers and Busts)

Terry McLaurin (WR – WAS)

“The Eagles have been lights out against WRs since their Week 5 bye. In the 10 games since, they’ve allowed just 10.1 catches, 103 yards, and 0.3 touchdowns per game to opposing wideouts. Only two WRs — Puka Nacua and Adam Thielen — have topped 65 receiving yards vs. Philly over that span. Wideouts that have failed to top 65 yards include Malik Nabers, Ja’Marr Chase, CeeDee Lamb, Cooper Kupp and… Terry McLaurin, who caught just one ball for 10 yards. He should fare a little better in Sunday’s rematch, but don’t count on McLaurin winning the week for you.”
– Jared Smola (Draft Sharks)

“The wounds from a one-catch, 10-yard game for Terry McLaurin last time out against Philly still linger. The Eagles concede the fewest points to WRs on the year and have only allowed 15 passing touchdowns this year, which is tied for fifth in the league. This is not a call to sit McLaurin, as many fantasy managers may not have a better option, given how great McLaurin has been. This is a call to manage expectations and to downgrade McLaurin this week.”
– Ed Birdsall (Talking Points Sports)
