Fantasy Football Week 16 Start and Sit NFC
Hello Heat Seekers, welcome to episode 119 of Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast. I am your host Rob Sullivan. The Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast is a proud member of the RotoHeat family of podcasts.
If you are reading this, chances are you are alive and kicking and preparing for Week 16, the Fantasy Finals. Congratulations!! This crazy fantasy season is almost over and let’s end this with you winning the ship!.
This week is what it is all about and as a result I am going to review every game on the NFL schedule and give you all my 2 cents on the fantasy relevant assets in those games.
Just a reminder that as the fantasy season wears down, we here at RotoHeat are just warming up. This podcast will remain and take on a more dynasty focus in the coming weeks. In addition we have the RotoHeat YouTube Channel that will continue with our livestreams and soon start rolling our our 2021 Rookie Profile videos. The team is hard at work crunching film and getting rookiedraftguide.com ready for you all. This team led by Rick Butts and Brad Menendez is putting together a rookie draft guide unlike anything seen before.
Now with that said, here are my Fantasy Football Week 16 Start and Sit NFC recommendations

Minnesota Vikings @ New Orleans Saints Saints -7 Over/Under 52
Vikings- Dalvin Cook and Justin Jefferson are must start options. The Saints are a legit defense but let’s be real who are you starting off your roster over these two? Cook is RB2 on the season (.30 points behind Alvin Kamara), averaging 24.72 PPR points a game and Justin Jefferson has 6 games with over 100 receiving yards, just broke the Vikings rookie pass catching record previously held by Randy Moss, and sits at WR8 overall through 15 weeks in his rookie season.
Adam Thielen is a start as is Kirk Cousins in super-flex or two QB formats. Thielen has been over-shadowed by Justin Jefferson in recent weeks, but the dude is still WR12 on the season averaging 16.96 PPR points a game. What makes 19 a little risky and not a must start option is his dependence on the TD. He has scored 13 times this season, in 13 games played. In the 9 games he has at least one touchdown he is averaging 21.63 points and the 4 in which he has failed to score he is giving you on average 6.48 points.
Cousins in all likelihood is going to have to throw more often than normal if the Vikings want a shot to win this one. Cousins has attempted on average 31 passes a game this season which in all honestly surprises me, I figured it would have been much lower. In games he has attempted 30 or more passes he has averaged 21.18 points in 4 point/pass TD scoring leagues. His season long average is 18.66 points/game. I wouldn’t run him out there is a one QB league, but in SF if he is your No.2 QB you are in good shape. Sit the rest of the Minnesota Vikings offense in this one.
Saints- Alvin Kamara is a must start. Kamara is the top scoring RB on the season,
