Fantasy Football Week 16: Viewer’s Guide

Game environment is the foundational starting point in making fantasy decisions. As such, I’m going to break down each game on the slate into three categories: Binge, Stream and Skip.

Games you want to “binge” are like the show you can’t miss; you’re watching as soon as it goes live and might just crush all the episodes in one weekend. These are the start-all-your-guys fantasy games and ones with season-defining storylines.

Games you want to “stream” are like the shows you certainly watch start to finish, but perhaps you’re finishing it over time instead of one shot. While these games might not feature a ton of “must-starts,” we can pick and choose our spots, and the teams are likely to matter in the NFL playoff picture.

Lastly, the games you want to “skip” are like the shows you’re leaning toward passing on, but you might catch an episode here and there (or might stick to reading recaps online to stay up with the culture). There will be a non-obvious player or two who stands out in these games, but overall, they aren’t the best environment for fantasy football.

Let’s dive into my Week 16 Fantasy Football Viewer’s Guide.

We lead with the final game on the Week 16 schedule because not only is it easily the best game on the Christmas weekend slate, but it very well could be the game of the year. San Francisco and Baltimore enter this week playing at the height of the respective powers for each operation. As the current No. 1 seed in each respective conference, you don’t need me to tell you why this game is a heart-pumping, life-affirming matchup for football fans at the end of the holiday weekend.

Brock Purdy is about to get his biggest test against one of the premier defenses in the league. The Ravens employ a stop unit with no easy nits to pick at, but San Francisco’s freakshow skill-position players put defenses in a bind more than any…
