Start-sit questions can be anxious for even the best fantasy managers. Here’s a traffic-light report to help get you ready for Championship Week.
✅ Green Light
QB Jared Goff at 49ers
Everything has fallen perfectly for Goff’s fantasy value the last few weeks — the Detroit defense has fallen apart and the offense no longer has David Montgomery to gobble up touches and touchdowns. Goff’s stats the last three weeks are almost too good to be true: 11 touchdown passes, 1,113 passing yards, 132 attempts. Pinball scoring is likely when the Lions and Niners play Monday, so get your popcorn ready.
TE Chig Okonkwo at Jaguars
He’s been a target hog since Mason Rudolph took over, with 17 catches and 21 targets the last two weeks. The Jaguars don’t defend much of anything, including the tight end; they’re the seventh-best matchup for the position. Sometimes it takes a while for tight ends to figure things out; that’s what Okonkwo appears to be doing at the end of his third season.
WR Jalen McMillan vs. Panthers
He’s the No. 2 receiving option for an offense we trust, and this game has a juicy 48.5 total attached to it. McMillan has four touchdowns in his past three games and just missed a long score at the end of the loss to Dallas. Baker Mayfield will make sure the rookie gets multiple opportunities downfield.
WR Deebo Samuel Sr. vs. Lions
If you missed your fantasy playoffs, it’s possible Samuel was a key reason why — he did little for a two-month stretch in the middle of the year. But Samuel was back in business at Miami last week (12 touches, 121 scrimmage yards, touchdown) and the Detroit defense is the most injury-riddled unit in the league. Points will be scored here, and Samuel will be needed as a surrogate runner as well.
WR Davante Adams at Bills
The Aaron Rodgers to Adams reboot took some time to come…
