Fantasy Football Week 16 Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em RBs: Devin Singletary, Austin Ekeler, D’Onta Foreman and more

I’ve typically mentioned that operating again is the lifeblood of fantasy soccer. It’s what gamers covet on draft day. They’re hoarded on benches. It’s almost unimaginable to pry elite ones from their managers in trades. So as soon as we hit the semi-finals of the fantasy soccer playoffs, we should be positive the RBs in our lineups are the correct ones.

I’ve been of the opinion that I wish to experience my studs in these weeks. I’d quite go down swinging with my huge canines than attempt to get cute. That mentioned, not everyone seems to be that fortunate. There are groups who’re selecting up and enjoying backs off of the waiver wire. Some groups are enjoying the matchups to get by. My Week 16 RB begin/sit focuses on these gamers you may be debating in your remaining beginning spot or flex. Let’s make an knowledgeable determination and be ok with it.

Fantasy Soccer Week 16 Begin’Em RBs

1] Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts

We’ve solely seen JT for elements of seven contests, owing to accidents. This week, I’m anticipating classic Taylor, as he ought to have the backfield to himself (Zack Moss injured his arm). The Colts aren’t afraid to feed Taylor, and I’d guess on over twenty touches. Taylor has produced three top-10 fantasy performances in his final 5 video games. Atlanta, on the season, has been powerful on opposing runners, however the final two backs to get 20 carries or extra in opposition to them put over 85 yards.

Our Begin/Sit Optimizer tasks a 14-point return for Taylor this week.

2] D’Onta Foreman, Chicago Bears

It wasn’t fairly for Foreman final week. He solely had six whole touches, and he completed with adverse fantasy factors. That’s not good by anybody’s math. However he’s dealing with a Cardinals group that’s useless on arrival. Foreman will run the ball with authority because the Bears run the clock with a second-half lead. In video games the Bears have received, Foreman completed with 89, 80, and 50 speeding yards. It’s dangerous, however I believe he can discover the endzone for us and get 12 factors.

3] Devin Singletary, Houston Texans

With out query, Singletary has left the opposite Texans again within the mud. Final week, he recorded 26 carries and 4 receptions en path to a top-seven PPR end. Now, Cleveland isn’t any slouch. However anybody getting this sort of quantity needs to be put into your lineup. The Texans offense ought to welcome again C.J. Stroud and Nico Collins after harm scares. These upgrades imply extra drives and higher alternatives at getting goal-line carries. I’d pencil him in for 18 carries and three catches simply.

Fantasy Soccer Week 16 Sit’Em RBs

1] Austin Ekeler, LA Chargers

Yup, it’s over in your first-round decide. This Chargers group is completed. First, they’re enjoying a Payments group that’s scorching sizzling proper now. The Payments ought to play with a lead from the opening kick. Ekeler seems to be outdated, gradual, and is operating behind a foul line. 4 of Ekeler’s final 5 finishes had been exterior of the highest 30 PPR operating backs. I’m not risking my title hopes on a participant who noticed 5 carries final week. Easton Stick underneath middle is torpedoing an already underwhelming Chargers assault. It’s a tough capsule to swallow, however Ekeler isn’t it anymore.

2] Najee Harris, Pittsburgh Steelers

One other offense that’s run by a horrible backup quarterback. I’m undecided if the Steelers have give up, however I’ve give up them. This offense is putrid. Harris turned 12 carries into 1.3 fantasy factors final week. It’s nearly an act of God for him to prime 10 fantasy factors of late. I’m not placing Harris wherever close to my beginning lineup with the playoffs on the road.

3] Antonio Gibson, Washington Commanders

Final week, all of us fell for the “he’ll catch passes and be good in PPR” gag. Gibson performed on lower than half of the Commanders’ snaps and solely dealt with 25% of their speeding makes an attempt. Primarily, Gibson is a glorified hurry-up again on a foul group. I’m not getting fooled once more this week, neither must you. The Jets’ protection will swallow up Gibson. In actual fact, simply drop him and pray your opponent provides him and begins him in opposition to you.
