Judgement Day has arrived. If you are reading this and are still alive in your league, you must be playing for your championship! You’ve made it this far, through failed draft picks and hurt superstars and bad weeks, all leading up to this point. Now, it is time to take that final step towards championship glory. I also wanted to take this time as we wrap up the fantasy season to thank everyone that has helped me in my inaugural year writing for this site. It has been more fun than I could have imagined, and I’m lucky to be able to write about something I love. I hope I’ve helped you on the road to fantasy glory, and good luck to all players on championship weekend. Let’s get to Cut’em or Keep’em week 16.

Keep’em

 Jamaal Williams, (Packers) 12% owned ESPN

Williams stepped in effectively with 55 rushing yards, 42 receiving yards and a 10-yard touchdown run after Aaron Jones went down with a knee injury. Jones may be hurt and may even be lost for the rest of the season. If that is the case, Williams should step in as the bell cow back for the Packers. His bell cow status alone warrants consideration in your starting lineup, and he should produce a top 25 week. 

 Robert Foster, (Bills) 3% owned ESPN

Everyone has been waiting for Foster to cool off these past couple weeks, and he has just kept on producing.  Foster has at least 94 receiving yards in four of his past five games, despite hauling in just 13 catches during that span. Buffalo seems to like airing the ball out to Foster several times a game, and it only takes 1 or 2 of those to connect to have a big fantasy afternoon. Take advantage of Foster’s hot streak and play him as a WR3 this week with WR2 upside. Don’t make the mistake of leaving him on your bench.

 Daesean Hamilton, (Broncos) 24% owned ESPN

Hamilton has stepped up with seven catches in each of the 2 games that Emmanuel Sanders has missed since getting hurt. Courtland Sutton was supposed to be the beneficiary of that, but it seems as if Hamilton has vaulted into that role for the Broncos. He had 12 targets last week, and even though they only produced 46 yards, expect that same kind of target share next week. Keep him in your lineup if you are looking for WR3 help.

Cut’em

QB Carson Wentz, (Eagles) 77% owned ESPN

Carson Wentz hurt his back at some undisclosed time in the past couple weeks and is now on the shelf. Even though the Eagles have not put him on IR for the rest of the year, it would be a big surprise if he were to sit up at all for the Eagles in the regular season in 2018. It is safe to drop him in any redraft league.

WR Devin Funchess, (Panthers) 67% owned ESPN

While Funchess has been healthy the past month, you wouldn’t know it by looking at his box score. He has posted only a paltry 1 catch for 8 PPR points in the last FOUR weeks. 3 of those weeks he had a big old zero on the scoreboard. Even if he was to get some targets, he just isn’t a part of the offense anymore in Carolina, and he is safe to drop in all formats.

WR Sterling Shepard, (Giants) 70% owned ESPN

Sterling should be benefitting from Odell Beckham first being on the other side of the field and then injured, but it doesn’t look like he is taking advantage of the opportunity. In his past 2 games with Odell gone, he has only managed four catches, and the Giants season is all but over. A disappointing end of the year for Shepard, and he should no longer be oon your roster.
