Sit
Kenneth Walker III, Seattle Seahawks
Walker has been sidelined the past couple of weeks with a calf injury, but is trending towards returning this week. This is a situation we would rather not touch.
First off, calf injuries are highly prone to re-aggravation. Anyone who has been following me for any amount of time knows I'll go out of my way to avoid any player with a calf, hamstring, or groin injury. They are far too risky in their first game back after a stint on the sidelines. Granted, some players are worth that risk and Walker himself is worth that risk at times. This week isn't one of those times.

Start
Jerome Ford, Cleveland Browns
After fading into fantasy irrelevancy over the past few months, Ford is back and you can plug him right back into your starting lineup. Nick Chubb suffered a foot injury in Week 15 and his season is over, which forces Ford back into a lead-back role.
There is always a chance another back mixes in more than we'd like to see, but we don't expect another back to see enough work to have a significant impact on Ford. While he was a bit up and down early in the season, this game sets up perfectly for him.

Quarterbacks
Aidan O'Connell, Las Vegas Raiders (Knee)
O'Connell was back at practice this week and is fully expected to be the starter this week. He's not great, but he's a significant upgrade from anyone else they currently have available.
Running Backs
Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints (Groin)
It's looking very unlikely that Kamara will be able to suit up for Monday Night Football this week. Because the Saints play on Monday, he hasn't been ruled out yet, but in an ideal world, he would be ruled on Saturday so there is no temptation to wait for him on Monday. If he does end up being a game-time decision, you cannot leave him in your lineup unless you also roster Kendre Miller, who projects to be the bell-cow back this week with Kamara injured.

Fantasy semi-final week is a stressful time. Every decision seems like the most important part of your fantasy season, as a wrong choice could make the past four months seem like a waste. At a position like tight end, where consistent production is hard to come by, those decisions come up as often as any other.

Welcome to FantasySP’s Week 16 fantasy football wide receiver start/sit breakdown! As always, I’d like to start by taking a look back at last week’s results … which weren’t great. On the Start side, Jakobi Meyers, Adam Thielen, and Calvin Ridley all failed to crack double-digit Half-PPR points, although at least none of them killed your week (Ridley brought up the year at 7.5). Things were more mixed on the Sit side. DeAndre Hopkins scoring 6.1 is a result I will definitely take, while Jordan Addison’s 9.8 wasn’t great either. However, DeVonta Smith got in on the Eagles’ big passing-game revival with a 22.5-point explosion, finishing as the WR6 on the week.
