Who should I start for Week 16? Fantasy football outlooks for Matthew Stafford, Anthony Richardson, Baker Mayfield. Our expert fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks.
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield are three signal-callers rostered in most fantasy leagues.
The mercurial and heavily matchup-dependent nature of QB scoring leads to weekly troubles with deciding who to start.
So let's help you decide who to put in your starting lineups for your crucial Week 16 fantasy football games.
Should I Start Matthew Stafford for Fantasy Football?
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is a solid player to start. Last week was a weird divisional matchup rain game, so you should probably ignore his low-scoring output that week. The Rams have an elite offense when it's fully healthy and when flukey, strange games aren't happening.

Stafford, his elite receivers, and his elite head coach Sean McVay diced up the Buffalo Bills' defense two weeks ago. They'll now face a New York Jets defense that's completely imploded after the firing of former head coach Robert Saleh. The 36-year-old signal-caller can be started with confidence as a low-end QB1.
Should I Start Anthony Richardson for Fantasy Football?
He's being completely carried by his rushing numbers right now, but that's good enough for fantasy football. He's also rushed 10, 10, nine, and seven times each in his last four games -- consistency on that front will be key to maintaining his value moving forward. And the four rushing scores over that span don't hurt either.

He is simply not a good passer. But it doesn't really matter. As long as he can stay healthy, he's a solid QB to start and fits in the low-end QB1 range, though with more risk. If he doesn't get a rush TD, he probably won't have a great game, and you can see that his games without running scores are usually not great.
Should I Start Baker Mayfield for Fantasy Football?
Yes. He's the QB5 on the year, and despite the team losing wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle) to a season-ending ankle injury much earlier in the season, Mayfield has continued to produce well. He's playing fantastic football, and his offensive coordinator, Liam Coen, is one of the best in the NFL.

HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. WOW.

He's an elite QB this year. He'll face a Dallas Cowboys defense that's suffering from a ton of key injuries. Start him in all leagues.
