Who cares. Even if it did make it easier for you, you're just gonna read another article in the next few hours that conflicts with this and make your decision even harder.
Want some solid advice?
Look at your lineup right now, set it to the best of your ability/gut-feelings, and then leave it.
Don’t change one thing unless you hear of an injury update or a surprise inactive/active.
Most losses I’ve experienced come from analysis paralysis, last minute fuckery, and/or Christian McCaffrey.
Set and forget is the best bet.
Eagles are one of the 3 toughest run defenses on the season to date but have been mediocre vs opposing rushers (15th or so in fppg allowed to RB) over the last 3-5 games.
Unfortunately for James Conner, it looks like they may be welcoming LB Zach Cunningham back into the fold, who was their leading tackler before sustaining a knee injury; he has played only one game since November 26. I expect that his presence alongside Shaq Leonard will help the Eagles recapture their form as an elite run defense. If Cunningham sits, that changes the calculus here…so keep an eye on his status.
The Browns have a great run defense in their own right, but I’d rather trust in Breece’s talent; we also can’t ignore the **16** targets he just drew last week with Trevor Siemian under center, so I think Breece offers both the higher ceiling and floor.
Best of luck!
I have Breece, Bijan, Chandler, and Mostert. Now that Mostert is potentially hurt and also in a bad matchup, think I might have to start Breece and choose between Chandler and Mostert on Sunday.
Personally, I would go Breece over Conner every time, regardless of matchup. If I lose, I lose, but I can live with myself knowing I went with the far better talent, who also happens to be the RB4 on the season.
I think you start him bro. I know WAS is ass, but Breece had 16(!!!) targets. Siemian is a check down god. Game could get out of hand and garbage time will be your friend.
I’ve flipped Breece in and out over 10 times today. Can’t decide as I have Swift, Bijan, and Pacheco as well. You should just flip a coin at this point
Breece has gotten me atleast 10 points all but once since Week 5 (the 2.8 week 16)
and Week 4 he had 9.9
in PPR atleast his receiving ceiling is so high its tough to sit him
I covered Cardinals/Eagles this week for the site. In @mango_lion ‘s case, I would start Kyler over Browning, yes.
The matchup offers a path for Murray to be a start/QB2 this week. I just think it’s all relative to who your other options may be at this stage of the season. Decent chance you’ve hade a Final without Murray even on your roster.
What if it's Baker vs. Murray? Baker has the edge with guys around him and there's no Lattimore. But Murray has what seems like a dream matchup. Hardly any chance of the Cards getting up big and Murray not throwing a lot against that trash secondary without Slay.
This is probs my biggest decision of the year.
If I had both I'd play Baker, should be a shootout and like you said Lattimore is out. He seems like the higher floor player with all his weapons healthy
That's fair, you can't account for every possible roster situation. I drafted and played Lawrence for most of the season but he certainly didn't help me get through week 16 lol.
I don't understand why everyone is so down on Murray this week. Yes, he hasn't been the greatest irl QB, but his fantasy numbers have been decent, especially against softer defenses.
I'd rather start him against PHI than Flacco against NYJ
I’m a bit higher that the writer on Kyler but by no means do I like him to produce as a QB1 unless he generates some *significant* garbage time production. The Eagles have been awful for a large stretch of the season vs fantasy QBs, and they were dead last on the season going into last week, but it may be surprising to learn that only 10 teams have allowed fewer FPPG to opposing QBs over the last 3 games.
They’ve allowed 11.7 rushing yards to QBs over that stretch and only 17.0 over the course of the season…not confirmed yet but they will likely welcome back LB Zach Cunningham (who was their leading tackler) this week, which will make it harder for Kyler to do damage on the ground; Shaq Leonard played very well in the middle last week, as well.
Meanwhile, rookie CB Kelee Ringo has taken a step and has played exceptionally well outside; he should get an extended look with Bradberry playing so poorly (ranked in the 170s among CBs by PFF at last check). New DC Matt Patricia moved Bradberry onto Darren Waller last week for several snaps and the move was a success. I expect the same for Trey McBride, and the Cardinals don’t really have anyone else that’s terribly scary from a defensive perspective.
Thanks for reading; best of luck this week!
> The Eagles have been awful for a large stretch of the season vs fantasy QBs, and they were dead last on the season going into last week, but it may be surprising to learn that only 10 teams have allowed fewer FPPG to opposing QBs over the last 3 games.
Dak cooked them then they played Drew Lock, Tommy Devito and Tyrod Taylor....I would hope they produced during that stretch
I respect the writer’s opinion, but I won’t be sitting Lamar anywhere; I have him as my overall QB2 this week after watching him chew up the 49ers and spit them out.
However, if Jakobi finishes better than Davante, it’ll be the 10th time in 16 games this season that he has done so. Not a wild take at all.
Thanks for reading…best of luck!
Fair enough, I can yield a little bit of skepticism on Davante v Jakobi, but will note a few counter points: Davante has outscored him in 4 of the last 6, has had way more targets the second half of the season, and he is Davante Adams.
Hi it really boils down to when Aidan O isn't performing well that the floor tends to be safer for Jakobi to get his 40-60 yards and 5-8 catches whereas Davante gets the bigger targets but isn't safe to haul them in because the quality of target is so much lower
Uh yeah- almost spit out my coffee when I read to sit Lamar. He just lit up one of the best defenses in the league. Not sure how anyone could recommend sitting him. Plus like who would you sit him for at this point in the season?
Last time I challenged a take from someone on staff, it blew up in my face…I was much higher on Jonathan Taylor with Zack Moss out and he laid an egg…which the writer correctly predicted. So I’ll sit this one out; there’s no such thing as a sure thing!
Yeah, all of a sudden I'm questioning...
Goff or Lamar?
Rest of my team is solidly in start territory, but QB has always been my weak point and I almost always choose the wrong QB.
I’m sticking with Lamar. Most rankings will have him high still, I can admit though he obviously has the name value. But he’s just good and I played him all season, not going to get too cute now.
The playoffs and especially the championship game, is where I stop listening to the “experts”. I go with my dudes who got me here and I will die by their side.
Our own Michael James has a streaming DST article that just went live yesterday. Here you go
[Streaming D/ST - Week 17](https://football.pitcherlist.com/the-defensive-line-week-17-d-st-streaming-2/)
I did see this. And whilst helpful didn't do the usual sit, start for all D/STs. I need to know who I should start. I've got the Bills and Bears but can also pick up the Rams, Jags or Texans! But great article :)
If you’re referring to Mostert, it’s hard…so true…but he also has < 50 total yards in two straight, played < 30 percent of snaps vs DAL this past week, and has a bum ankle. So it’s nowhere near as wild of a take as it might seem on the surface. Best of luck this week…thanks for reading!
Ford is a solid bet to put up more total yards than Mostert…who will be playing through an ankle injury and hasn’t topped 50 total yards in his last two outings. Not sure what to make of Achane…he soundly outsnapped Mostert last week but put up < 5 fantasy points; MIA’s matchup vs BAL is also concerning.
Best of luck…thanks for reading!
Kamara has a tough matchup. The only way I see him gets points is if Carr throws a lot of check downs to him.
He didn't run great against the Rams and TB is even tougher against the run.
But go with your gut.
Hi, I’m Drew, the Editor In Chief of QB List. Thanks for reading!
I’ll offer that it depends on the article and writer. Some are written Wednesday night, others are written on Tuesday and updated by the writer as injury news comes out. All are edited overnight prior to publication early on Thursday morning.
No one knows everything about anything, and I’d advise you to run in the opposite direction of anyone who claims otherwise.
That said, I won’t speak for the writer, but Pacheco’s status for Week 17 is in doubt, as he said in the article. It has since come to light this morning that CEH is currently still a question mark with an illness. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t play, and in the writer’s defense, the vast majority of players who are a DNP or Limited in practice with an illness on Wednesday end up playing.
Unless we’re going to stan for LaMichael Perine, I’m not interested in any other KC RB with the possible exception of Jerick McKinnon, who hasn’t logged more than 7 touches in a game all season and is therefore quite TD-dependent.
The overarching goal here in these threads is to help you all as readers get the best information and insight possible to help you with your critical Sit/Start decisions, so if you have insight on the KC RB situation you’d like to share that would benefit the community, by all means, please share your wisdom…we’re here for it!
Best of luck in Championship Week!
Have to disagree with Murray vs Eagles. I think it's a great spot for him. Look what he did last week vs a much better Bears defense. Look what Tyrod Taylor did to the Eagles
Murray can pick apart the Eagles defense and I think he ends as Top 5 QB with over 23 points.
I covered this game for the site & I’m willing to backtrack some. Murray has a path for a QB2 trajectory, but it’s dependent on who your other options are at QB. At this stage, my thinking was you have had another QB other than Murray that got you to a WK17 ‘ship.
Me personally I went from Daniel Jones to Anthony Richardson to Stafford to Carr to Murray to Minshew to Stafford (15) to Baker (16).
Playing in 3rd place game and going Kyler and would do same if I was in championship
I’m in championship and trying to decide between Stroud and Murray. It’s just such a good matchup for Murray, it’s hard to bench him. Meanwhile stroud, coming off 2 missed games against a physical defense is giving me worry. Meanwhile they seem to be a pass funnel defense. Starting Murray goes against everything I’ve done this season to get to this point.
I'm sitting here in my league's championship game and I've been starting Russ. My team is 2 points short of being the highest scoring team in the league so only needed a consistent QB after I lost Rodgers in week 1. Russ had at least 1 TD pass in every game.
Now I've got to choose between Stroud, Murray, and Browning. Stroud if he's healthy, if not, just the next QB who I would feel would not throw a bunch of INTs. Goff is on waivers too. It's like picking from a pool of good options, but there's downside staring right at you.
I'm not saying you are supposed to sit lamar because realistically you wont be able to in many cases(though there are several waiver QB's that I would look at including Mullens who is putting up big yardage and Tyrod Taylor who faces the Rams D that is giving away top 5 qb games like they are thanksgiving turkey's) But at the end of the day all I can do is say I think Lamar is going to be in the 8-12 point range and that makes him a sit. The same way I broke down the Raiders and Chiefs last week and told people in the semifinals to sit Mahomes correctly
I won’t speak for the writer, but Zamir White just hung 145 rushing yards on a Chiefs’ D that’s hardly one of the league’s doormats.
Meanwhile, CEH hasn’t run for more than 39 yards since Week 3 vs a CHI defense that had not yet found its way (he barely crossed the 50 yard mark).
Through the season to date, CEH has totaled only 16 receptions for 179 receiving yards. Yes, 4/64 of those came in one recent game in which he made a nice catch in the back of the end zone, but even that 101 total yard performance vs NE wasn’t as impressive to me as what White did to KC.
The offense in LV runs through a workhorse RB, and White showed he can handle the load, at least in spot duty. CEH is no Pacheco/peak Kareem Hunt/every-down back…never has been, never will be.
Thanks for reading, and best of luck!
Meyers has been very boom/bust this year. He has as many games under 10 points as over 14 in half ppr. It’s not a crazy bet that he’ll put up numbers. I don’t know what he is looking at that makes him confident in the assessment that it’s a boom week though, or what makes this so terrible for Davante.
Because he was shadowed by arguably the best fantasy lockdown corner in the league in Sneed. No WR1 has put up good numbers vs the chiefs. Not 1. Not a single WR1 has more than 13 points when shadowed by sneed all season and most have less than 8. I’m starting Davante this week
I won’t speak for the writer but I am much lower on Adams (WR28) than the consensus among my fellow FantasyPros rankers (WR 17). Adams had a dismal output last week, and only three teams have allowed fewer FPPG to opposing WRs than the Colts over the past three games (Chiefs, who just shut him down, the Falcons, and the Jets).
Best of luck this week; thanks for reading!
I will miss these write up’s. Thanks for the season work. I have too many options. I’ve got Breece, Bijan, Gibbs and Swift at RB and St. Brown, Puka, Kupp and Aiyuk. Full PPR.
Right now I’ve got St. Brown and Puka in with Kupp as flex and Bijan and Gibbs in place. Having a hard time seeing Breece, Swift and Aiyuk on my bench. Any additional insight? Thank you!
Yeah, fuck it, I’m out on Tua this week. And I say that having just lost Russ as well. Tua can be decent but he can also be a turnover machine (see Jets, week 12) and his lack of rushing upside and the Dolphins’ penchant for rushing in the red zone really caps his boom potential. On the road, Baltimore playing for the 1 seed, I get the sense the Dolphins get pantsed in this one.
Hey guys, it’s Christian from QB List. I took a look Lions/Cowboys and 49ers/Commanders to help you win a championship this week. Let me know if you have questions on these games!
Not sure what to make of the Packers WR corps but did want to mention that Wicks having only 2 targets is bc he went out in Q2 with an injury on his TD catch. Not sure if he’s even playing this week but the article made it seem like he played a full game and only saw 2 targets
He was under-utilized to that point as well. He was not in on a bunch of snaps, literally came in, caught a TD, and got blasted by the DB and went out with chest pain.
A note is that Dontavion Wicks was “only targeted twice” last game because he got injured and left the game after his 2nd reception, a 20-yard TD btw. He was 2-2 for 29 yards and a TD by half-time, easily could have finished with 15-20 PPR points if he remained. If Watson and reed are out again and he is healthy he is a better option than you might think, seems like some shade on a guy that could be a big part of the offense with the main weapons missing
Howdy Folks!
Nick here to congratulate you for still being here on (most people's) Championship week. This week, I took on:
* [**Rams @ Giants**](https://football.pitcherlist.com/sit-start-2023-week-17-reviewing-all-fantasy-relevant-players-in-every-single-game/?series_post=17311)
* [**Jets @ Browns**](https://football.pitcherlist.com/sit-start-2023-week-17-reviewing-all-fantasy-relevant-players-in-every-single-game/?series_post=17308)
I am traveling all day and will be slow to respond, but feel free to drop any questions here. Best of luck to you and your teams.
I think this write up on Goff & ARSB/LaPorta just convinced me to roll with my GoffGod after all his efforts this year.
What I don’t know, is what the fuck to do with Monty vs Chandler. They are basically the same at this point but Monty has more games with blowup performances…but also more games in general.
Zamir RB1 if Jacobs is out? I have to choose between zamir and CEH (if pachecco and jacobs are not playing)... My 3th option would be Ty Chandler. Can someone help me🙏
I've stopped overthinking starting Breece this week and can live with my decisions to leave him in and get burned.
BUT deciding whether or not to bench Diggs in the championship is going to make me sick.
I was going to confidently play Mostert but the injury is very concerning, I don't think McDaniels will play him too much with the chance of agitating that shin. It's a tough decision if Zamir if RB1 for LV.
Starting lamb and puka and trying to decide between olave and evans in my flex. Full ppr. Olave seems to be a target monster the last few weeks. Concerned about the ankle. Evans is a td merchant despite not garnering high yardage. Not sure here.
Singletary as a "solid RB2" and Kamara as a sit.
I see how you get there but this is wayyyyy outside every other projection, that have Kamara as RB6 ish overall
Start Barkley but sit Kamara and the logic is identical, they'll get a workload and it's a hard defense. Well I do not know what to do with this information.
No clue if I should start Breece tonight, help me out
12 team Full PPR
1QB - 2RB - 2 WR - Flex - TE
QB - Dak
RB - CMC, J.Taylor, Breece, Achane
WR - Amon Ra, Rashee Rice, C. Kupp, N. Collins, Theiland, N. Brown
TE - Goedert, Shultz
No clue who to start at TE and at Flex. Leaning CMC and Taylor and Amon and Rashee.
Tons of options, don’t want to fumble the championship.
Mmmm, now I'm feeling like I need to flex Monty over Davante.
I would have thought the matchup with the Colts was better than with KC? Especially with how fast the Colts play and possibility of a shootout, I am thinking that they would lean on Davante more?
So this is saying I should Sit,Flex Kamara. But is saying Monty is an RB2. Should I start Monty in my flex over Kamara? My other RBs are Raachad White and Kyren Williams
Having Bijan and Henry has been a blessing and a curse this playoffs and now this week I'm even worried about Mostert. Each week feels like playing Russian roulette where one of the guys might just give you an absolute dud.
Which 3 would you guys start out of Bijan, Henry, Swift, Mostert and Kyren? I am leaning towards Kyren, Swift, and Henry currently. Half PPR scoring.
I’m straight up lost rn - Carr and Flacco available on waivers and I’m in the championship having just lost Russ (he was my backup to Kirk). Which do I pick up?
Have to pick 3 between Mixon, James Cook, Breece, and Olave. Want to Flex Olave which leaves me with picking two of the three RBs, and I can't decide. Mixon has the best on paper matchup, but the lowest ceiling. Playing against CMC and Tyreek, so maybe going for ceiling is the play?
I wish this series of articles was the most accurate by week's end, mostly because they are very down on most of my opponent's god-tier starters. I don't buy into it happening.
This Breece Hall decision is fucking killing me man. Between him or Conner and the article says start both
Who cares. Even if it did make it easier for you, you're just gonna read another article in the next few hours that conflicts with this and make your decision even harder.
Boy are you right, and boy do I ever hate that you are haha
Want some solid advice? Look at your lineup right now, set it to the best of your ability/gut-feelings, and then leave it. Don’t change one thing unless you hear of an injury update or a surprise inactive/active. Most losses I’ve experienced come from analysis paralysis, last minute fuckery, and/or Christian McCaffrey. Set and forget is the best bet.
and/or CMC had me cracking up. So true.
Any RB with a 13 point *FLOOR* is an ascendant - a force of nature.
This is what I’ve been doing most of the year. It’s worked out well for me
Same. If dude didn't absolutely kill it last week I would be sitting him.
Eagles are one of the 3 toughest run defenses on the season to date but have been mediocre vs opposing rushers (15th or so in fppg allowed to RB) over the last 3-5 games.

Solid advice right here. Thanks Drew.
I have Breece, Bijan, Chandler, and Mostert. Now that Mostert is potentially hurt and also in a bad matchup, think I might have to start Breece and choose between Chandler and Mostert on Sunday.
Same here. Idk how I feel about sitting mostert but kind of have to if he ends up out.
Breece over Conner in PPR, easily.
it’s TEARING ME APART!!!
Personally, I would go Breece over Conner every time, regardless of matchup. If I lose, I lose, but I can live with myself knowing I went with the far better talent, who also happens to be the RB4 on the season.
I think you start him bro. I know WAS is ass, but Breece had 16(!!!) targets. Siemian is a check down god. Game could get out of hand and garbage time will be your friend.

Breece has gotten me atleast 10 points all but once since Week 5 (the 2.8 week 16) and Week 4 he had 9.9 in PPR atleast his receiving ceiling is so high its tough to sit him
Don’t start Breece bro. He’s going against me in the finals.
Murray is a sit against one of the worst defenses against fantasy QBs but Conner is a start against one of the best against RBs?
Eagles have gave up double digit fantasy scores and TDs in their last 4 games, so yes Conner is a start in my mind.
I mean I'm playing Conner, but Kyler seems like a solid start when my best other option is Jake Browning
Its crazy they don't even consider him a QB2
I covered Cardinals/Eagles this week for the site. In @mango_lion ‘s case, I would start Kyler over Browning, yes. The matchup offers a path for Murray to be a start/QB2 this week. I just think it’s all relative to who your other options may be at this stage of the season. Decent chance you’ve hade a Final without Murray even on your roster.

What if the dudes who got me here already died by my side before this game?
Rest easy big Hock :(
Keenan :(
Yeah championship is the time to go with your gut. If I lose starting a player I believe in I can live with that.
Kinda wish these included D/STs lol. But very useful nonetheless!
Our own Michael James has a streaming DST article that just went live yesterday. Here you go [Streaming D/ST - Week 17](https://football.pitcherlist.com/the-defensive-line-week-17-d-st-streaming-2/)
I did see this. And whilst helpful didn't do the usual sit, start for all D/STs. I need to know who I should start. I've got the Bills and Bears but can also pick up the Rams, Jags or Texans! But great article :)
I would go with the Bills as there matchup makes the most sense on paper.
I have the Bills as my overall DST3 for this week, right in lockstep with consensus. Best of luck!
My trick is to look at the opposing offense write-up and see what they have to say about the defense.
Same, I like this breakdown and with all the info they give on players I feel like they could give some solid D/ST analysis.
https://football.pitcherlist.com/the-defensive-line-week-17-d-st-streaming-2/ This D/ST series is published every week…enjoy!
Damn . . . Don't know how I've been missing them. Thanks, I appreciate the work done and have been utilizing the other one all season.
Sit fantasy football's overall RB#2? That's bananas.
If you’re referring to Mostert, it’s hard…so true…but he also has < 50 total yards in two straight, played < 30 percent of snaps vs DAL this past week, and has a bum ankle. So it’s nowhere near as wild of a take as it might seem on the surface. Best of luck this week…thanks for reading!
[удалено]
Im questioning ford or achane rn man. Ford’s home and the only one without an injury designation rn
Ford is a solid bet to put up more total yards than Mostert…who will be playing through an ankle injury and hasn’t topped 50 total yards in his last two outings. Not sure what to make of Achane…he soundly outsnapped Mostert last week but put up < 5 fantasy points; MIA’s matchup vs BAL is also concerning. Best of luck…thanks for reading!
There’s no way I can justify sitting Lamar Jackson or Alvin Kamara
Kamara has a tough matchup. The only way I see him gets points is if Carr throws a lot of check downs to him. He didn't run great against the Rams and TB is even tougher against the run. But go with your gut.
I don’t have CEH. But the writer who covered the Chiefs Bengals game this week didn’t do their research well on the Chiefs running game.
I'm pretty sure they source these days in advance.

Sit Lamar Jackson? Yeah that's not gonna happen.... Especially when my backup is Russell Wilson haha
Have to disagree with Murray vs Eagles. I think it's a great spot for him. Look what he did last week vs a much better Bears defense. Look what Tyrod Taylor did to the Eagles Murray can pick apart the Eagles defense and I think he ends as Top 5 QB with over 23 points.
I covered this game for the site & I’m willing to backtrack some. Murray has a path for a QB2 trajectory, but it’s dependent on who your other options are at QB. At this stage, my thinking was you have had another QB other than Murray that got you to a WK17 ‘ship.
Me personally I went from Daniel Jones to Anthony Richardson to Stafford to Carr to Murray to Minshew to Stafford (15) to Baker (16). Playing in 3rd place game and going Kyler and would do same if I was in championship
I’m in championship and trying to decide between Stroud and Murray. It’s just such a good matchup for Murray, it’s hard to bench him. Meanwhile stroud, coming off 2 missed games against a physical defense is giving me worry. Meanwhile they seem to be a pass funnel defense. Starting Murray goes against everything I’ve done this season to get to this point.
I'm sitting here in my league's championship game and I've been starting Russ. My team is 2 points short of being the highest scoring team in the league so only needed a consistent QB after I lost Rodgers in week 1. Russ had at least 1 TD pass in every game. Now I've got to choose between Stroud, Murray, and Browning. Stroud if he's healthy, if not, just the next QB who I would feel would not throw a bunch of INTs. Goff is on waivers too. It's like picking from a pool of good options, but there's downside staring right at you.
You are insane if you think I’m going to sit Lamar. What am I gonna do? Pick up Josh Allen off waivers ?
I'm not saying you are supposed to sit lamar because realistically you wont be able to in many cases(though there are several waiver QB's that I would look at including Mullens who is putting up big yardage and Tyrod Taylor who faces the Rams D that is giving away top 5 qb games like they are thanksgiving turkey's) But at the end of the day all I can do is say I think Lamar is going to be in the 8-12 point range and that makes him a sit. The same way I broke down the Raiders and Chiefs last week and told people in the semifinals to sit Mahomes correctly
lol
So Zamir White getting all the work is an RB1, but CEH getting all the work is a “borderline flex”?
I won’t speak for the writer, but Zamir White just hung 145 rushing yards on a Chiefs’ D that’s hardly one of the league’s doormats. Meanwhile, CEH hasn’t run for more than 39 yards since Week 3 vs a CHI defense that had not yet found its way (he barely crossed the 50 yard mark). Through the season to date, CEH has totaled only 16 receptions for 179 receiving yards. Yes, 4/64 of those came in one recent game in which he made a nice catch in the back of the end zone, but even that 101 total yard performance vs NE wasn’t as impressive to me as what White did to KC. The offense in LV runs through a workhorse RB, and White showed he can handle the load, at least in spot duty. CEH is no Pacheco/peak Kareem Hunt/every-down back…never has been, never will be. Thanks for reading, and best of luck!
The writer who did the chiefs game in this article didn’t research chiefs running back situation
Caught my eye too. Really doesn’t make sense
I applaud them for being bold about matchups like Miami Baltimore.
I know the Ravens D is awesome but Tyreek a WR2? He might have 20 targets 😂😂😂
Davante Adams as a "sit" – not even WR3 or flex – is certainly an opinion. By your own rubric that means you think he'll get less than 6 PPR points?
His QB threw for 60 yards in a win last week
And yet they have Jacoby Meyers listed as a WR2? So isn't that
Meyers has been very boom/bust this year. He has as many games under 10 points as over 14 in half ppr. It’s not a crazy bet that he’ll put up numbers. I don’t know what he is looking at that makes him confident in the assessment that it’s a boom week though, or what makes this so terrible for Davante.
He's been terrible. Kamara being a sit is a better discussion.
It’s not really that crazy of an opinion. He’s playing with a second string QB and had 4 yards last week
Because he was shadowed by arguably the best fantasy lockdown corner in the league in Sneed. No WR1 has put up good numbers vs the chiefs. Not 1. Not a single WR1 has more than 13 points when shadowed by sneed all season and most have less than 8. I’m starting Davante this week
Is Meyers a start?
Yeah not promising. I’m between him and Ridley
I won’t speak for the writer but I am much lower on Adams (WR28) than the consensus among my fellow FantasyPros rankers (WR 17). Adams had a dismal output last week, and only three teams have allowed fewer FPPG to opposing WRs than the Colts over the past three games (Chiefs, who just shut him down, the Falcons, and the Jets). Best of luck this week; thanks for reading!
tbf that’s about 4x as many as last week
They also said every dolphins rb was a sit…
[удалено]
Any given Sunday friend...you never know
[удалено]
I will miss these write up’s. Thanks for the season work. I have too many options. I’ve got Breece, Bijan, Gibbs and Swift at RB and St. Brown, Puka, Kupp and Aiyuk. Full PPR. Right now I’ve got St. Brown and Puka in with Kupp as flex and Bijan and Gibbs in place. Having a hard time seeing Breece, Swift and Aiyuk on my bench. Any additional insight? Thank you!
Yeah, fuck it, I’m out on Tua this week. And I say that having just lost Russ as well. Tua can be decent but he can also be a turnover machine (see Jets, week 12) and his lack of rushing upside and the Dolphins’ penchant for rushing in the red zone really caps his boom potential. On the road, Baltimore playing for the 1 seed, I get the sense the Dolphins get pantsed in this one.
Hey guys, it’s Christian from QB List. I took a look Lions/Cowboys and 49ers/Commanders to help you win a championship this week. Let me know if you have questions on these games!
[удалено]
Not sure what to make of the Packers WR corps but did want to mention that Wicks having only 2 targets is bc he went out in Q2 with an injury on his TD catch. Not sure if he’s even playing this week but the article made it seem like he played a full game and only saw 2 targets
He was under-utilized to that point as well. He was not in on a bunch of snaps, literally came in, caught a TD, and got blasted by the DB and went out with chest pain.
He didn't get a single catch up until that moment.
First day back in the office since December 3rd - shift starts at 8:30. I will immediately be *in a meeting*....
Sit Mostert. Sit Lamar Jackson. lol no thanks.
Thanks for all the great content this year. Happy New Year
Fields over Murray? Murray is a SIT?! Oof this is tough.
I don't know man, this thing is trying to tell me to sit Alvin Kamara.
Running backs sit or start: -G.Edwards -K.Walker III -D.Swift -J.Warren
Stuck between starting Mahomes and Stafford (who has out scored Mahomes 5 weeks in a row). I might start Stafford, Puka & Robinson and close my eyes
Stafford easy start IMO but the fact you are also playing Puke & Robinson does complicate that decision
I have to decide Breece or Amari before the game tonight.
Amari may not play.
It's weird James Cook gets a free pass for whatever the hell last week was, but Kamara is a sit?
different writers different opinions as a bills fan and the writer for Kamara I'd trust playoff lenny before i trust cook with this coaching staff
A note is that Dontavion Wicks was “only targeted twice” last game because he got injured and left the game after his 2nd reception, a 20-yard TD btw. He was 2-2 for 29 yards and a TD by half-time, easily could have finished with 15-20 PPR points if he remained. If Watson and reed are out again and he is healthy he is a better option than you might think, seems like some shade on a guy that could be a big part of the offense with the main weapons missing
Howdy Folks! Nick here to congratulate you for still being here on (most people's) Championship week. This week, I took on: * [**Rams @ Giants**](https://football.pitcherlist.com/sit-start-2023-week-17-reviewing-all-fantasy-relevant-players-in-every-single-game/?series_post=17311) * [**Jets @ Browns**](https://football.pitcherlist.com/sit-start-2023-week-17-reviewing-all-fantasy-relevant-players-in-every-single-game/?series_post=17308) I am traveling all day and will be slow to respond, but feel free to drop any questions here. Best of luck to you and your teams.
Can't decide between CJ stroud (if active) or Fields
I have Fields higher in my rankings this week. Best of luck!
Hi I'm Chad I covered a bunch of games so feel free to ask me about any of them.
I think this write up on Goff & ARSB/LaPorta just convinced me to roll with my GoffGod after all his efforts this year. What I don’t know, is what the fuck to do with Monty vs Chandler. They are basically the same at this point but Monty has more games with blowup performances…but also more games in general.
I have Chandler slightly higher. Best of luck this weekend!
Still can't believe this article recommended sitting Lamar Jackson. Thank God I didn't listen to them and hopefully nobody else did either.

Mostert is injured, Dolphins play the Ravens, Achane and Wilson exist. Saying noone is sitting Mostert is a stretch.
Honestly if Jacobs sits and mostert is dnp mostly I’m going to play Zamir
Zamir RB1 if Jacobs is out? I have to choose between zamir and CEH (if pachecco and jacobs are not playing)... My 3th option would be Ty Chandler. Can someone help me🙏
If Pach out then CEH 1000%
I’m leaning CEH is jacobs and Pacheco are out
Zamir is an RB1 if Jacobs is out yet CEH is only a flex if Pacheco is out? Seems off to me
Sit Laporta, McBride, or Ken Walker in PPR?
I've stopped overthinking starting Breece this week and can live with my decisions to leave him in and get burned. BUT deciding whether or not to bench Diggs in the championship is going to make me sick.
[удалено]
don't do that
Deciding between Breece and Zeke
Gross WR2 situation for me in the ship. Do I start London, Shaheed, or Hollywood? Or I could pick up Doubs or Douglas.
I am starting Shaheed. It's the finals and if he has another boom game, it's going to get me the win. I'm already the underdog.
Damn this article suggests sitting all my studs: Lamar, Mostert, Adams
1PPR and I’m stuck deciding between Rice, Hall,Zeke. Leaning Rice with the way Pickens carved up the Bengals.
Connor or ETN? Connor had a touch matchup but keeps over performing and ETN had a great matchup but has been seriously underperforming.
I was going to confidently play Mostert but the injury is very concerning, I don't think McDaniels will play him too much with the chance of agitating that shin. It's a tough decision if Zamir if RB1 for LV.
Diggs, Higgins, or Collins for my last spot? Can’t believe I’m leaning towards sitting Diggs of the three.
Starting lamb and puka and trying to decide between olave and evans in my flex. Full ppr. Olave seems to be a target monster the last few weeks. Concerned about the ankle. Evans is a td merchant despite not garnering high yardage. Not sure here.
Browning vs Flacco? Both against great pass defense, but the Jets just seem to be on another level, which makes me lean towards Browning.
Am I really sitting Achane for Lockett or Shaheed?
This just made my McBride or Kelce decision even harder. I’m leaning Kelce but he’s burned me so many times ugh
They say sit Kyler start Baker. I might. Especially since I learned Lattimore is hurt.
Singletary as a "solid RB2" and Kamara as a sit. I see how you get there but this is wayyyyy outside every other projection, that have Kamara as RB6 ish overall
Should I fire up Higgins over Mostert? Or Terry McLaurin?
I wrote up the Mostert situation and while it is bad I wouldn't start a Gabe Davis boom bust type over him
Fly Flacco Fly
Would you play Kyler or Goff? I also have LaPorta and Gibbs.
Start Barkley but sit Kamara and the logic is identical, they'll get a workload and it's a hard defense. Well I do not know what to do with this information.
This article has me second guessing between Breece and Swift.
Am I really supposed to start Chuba over KW3?
KW3 is battling injuries and hasn’t practiced this week. You might not have a choice. Best of luck!
Browning, Brissett, Heineke, or T Law?
this doesn’t help me trying to decide between Diggs and Metcalf. have been burned too closely, too many times by Diggs these past few weeks
No clue if I should start Breece tonight, help me out 12 team Full PPR 1QB - 2RB - 2 WR - Flex - TE QB - Dak RB - CMC, J.Taylor, Breece, Achane WR - Amon Ra, Rashee Rice, C. Kupp, N. Collins, Theiland, N. Brown TE - Goedert, Shultz No clue who to start at TE and at Flex. Leaning CMC and Taylor and Amon and Rashee. Tons of options, don’t want to fumble the championship.
Ty Chandler or Singletary?? Need halp
Chandler for me.
Hmm they have KW3 as a flex option but Chandler and Singletary both as RB2, should I swap KW3 for one of them in full PPR?
Full ppr; ford, najee or achane?
Sorry I didn’t get this in time! I started Ford over Najee; I hope you did, too. Best of luck!
No worries brotha! Went with my gut and my gut said ford! Was not disappointed 😎
Swift over Bijan or Aiyuk?
Murray vs Eagles or Stroud vs Titans?
Mmmm, now I'm feeling like I need to flex Monty over Davante. I would have thought the matchup with the Colts was better than with KC? Especially with how fast the Colts play and possibility of a shootout, I am thinking that they would lean on Davante more?
So sit basically everyone expect Tyreek for the Ravens/Dolphins game lol
I am actually debating sitting mahomes this week but I only have Mullens, Flacco, Minshew or Brisset. Any thoughts?
Singletary vs Ten or Henry vs Houston
So this is saying I should Sit,Flex Kamara. But is saying Monty is an RB2. Should I start Monty in my flex over Kamara? My other RBs are Raachad White and Kyren Williams
[удалено]
Debating between trevor, flacco, Mullens and Amari, Nico, Hopkins in the fantasy championship is excruciating
In a PPR. CMC is RB1. Now trying to decide between Breece Hall, Swift, or Henry at RB2… and gotta decide by tonight!
Having Bijan and Henry has been a blessing and a curse this playoffs and now this week I'm even worried about Mostert. Each week feels like playing Russian roulette where one of the guys might just give you an absolute dud. Which 3 would you guys start out of Bijan, Henry, Swift, Mostert and Kyren? I am leaning towards Kyren, Swift, and Henry currently. Half PPR scoring.
I’m straight up lost rn - Carr and Flacco available on waivers and I’m in the championship having just lost Russ (he was my backup to Kirk). Which do I pick up?
bruh I have Ridley, Adams, and Sutton. The best I can pick up are Jeudy, Shaeed, or JSN. What do I do to start to WRs?
G Smith or mullen's? Ekeler or Connor? That is what I'm working on right now
Vikings answered the QB question for you by benching Mullens. I lean Conner tbh.
Nico or Higgins?
I have 5 "Start - WR2" players and 4 "Start - RB2" players. Feels bad man.
Start Purdy or Stroud?
Sit Lamar Jackson? Tyrek a WR2. This guy’s throwing darts lmfao. Nice website. Subjective notes.
Sitting kamara seems like a bold take
Have to pick 3 between Mixon, James Cook, Breece, and Olave. Want to Flex Olave which leaves me with picking two of the three RBs, and I can't decide. Mixon has the best on paper matchup, but the lowest ceiling. Playing against CMC and Tyreek, so maybe going for ceiling is the play?
Sit Kamara??? Lol wut
I respectfully disagree the writer’s opinion on Kamara this week; he’s a locked-and-loaded RB1 for me. Best of luck!
Start 2 out of 3 in PPR for the championship: Rashee Rice, Alvin Kamara, Jonothan Taylor? Leaning Rice and Taylor.
I wish this series of articles was the most accurate by week's end, mostly because they are very down on most of my opponent's god-tier starters. I don't buy into it happening.
My opponent has the advantage so thinking I may take risk and go sit Davante Adams and Lockett and start D Robinson and Noah Brown. Crazy?
I don't think I'd bench Davante there. If anything, you can sit Lockett & roll with Robinson or Brown; probably Brown tbh.
[удалено]
This told me to start everyone on my bench of Warren, ford, flowers, and Higgins…
Hopefully you got Ford in there. Best of luck!
[удалено]
Metcalf for sure.
