Week 16 Start ‘Em: Defenses
Start of the Week
Buccaneers D/ST at Cardinals (Sun. 8:20 p.m. ET, NBC): The Buccaneers have been a middle of the road defense in fantasy leagues, but this week’s game versus the Cardinals makes it a solid option. Arizona could be starting its third-string QB in Trace McSorley, making Tampa Bay an attractive option in all fantasy leagues.
Start ‘Em
Titans D/ST vs. Texans (1 p.m. ET, CBS): The Titans defense hasn’t been great in fantasy land, but it can be useful when the matchup is right. That’s the case this week, as Tennessee hosts a bad Houston offense that’s averaging 16.8 points (second lowest), has allowed 34 sacks and committed 23 giveaways on the year.
More Starts
• Ravens D/ST vs. Falcons (1 p.m. ET, Fox)
• Broncos D/ST at Rams (Sun. 4:30 p.m. ET, CBS)

Week 16 Sit ‘Em: Defenses
Sit of the Week
Patriots D/ST vs. Bengals (1 p.m. ET, CBS): The Patriots have one of the top defenses in fantasy football, but a matchup against Joe Burrow and the Bengals is anything but favorable. Defenses have averaged fewer than six fantasy points per game against them, and Cincinnati’s offense has committed just 14 giveaways.
Sit ‘Em
Sit of the Week
Packers D/ST at Dolphins (Sun. 1 p.m. ET, Fox): The Packers defense hasn’t been much of a fantasy option unless the matchup is right, and this week’s game in Miami makes it a fade. The Dolphins have committed just 15 giveaways, and their line has allowed a mere 30 sacks. I’d keep Green Bay’s D/ST on the sidelines.
More Sits
• Seahawks D/ST at Chiefs (1 p.m. ET, Fox)

Week 16 Start ‘Em: Kickers
Start of the Week
Nick Folk vs. Bengals (1 p.m. ET, CBS): Folk has been on fire for fantasy fans, scoring 23 combined points in his last two games. He should remain in lineups for Week 15, too, as the veteran faces a Bengals defense that’s allowed 37 field-goal attempts and an average of 9.4 fantasy points per game to kickers this season.
More Starts
• Graham Gano at Vikings (1 pm. ET, Fox)
• Cameron Dicker at Colts (Mon. 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN)
• Robbie Gould vs. Commanders (4:05 p.m. ET, CBS)
Week 16 Sit ‘Em: Kickers
Sit of the Week
Matt Prater vs. Buccaneers (Sun, 8:20 p.m. ET, NBC): Prater is coming off a huge game, scoring 13 fantasy points in a loss to the Broncos. I wouldn’t chase the points, however, as the veteran faces a tougher matchup against Tampa Bay. Their defense has allowed just 17 field goals and the fourth-fewest points to kickers.
More Sits
• Younghoe Koo at Ravens (1 p.m. ET, Fox)
• Mason Crosby at Dolphins (Sun. 1 p.m. ET, Fox)
• Cairo Santos vs. Bills (1 p.m. ET, CBS)
