Start ‘Em, Sit 'Em is the ultimate look at the best and worst matchups based on a PPR scoring system in fantasy football. This column will not cover the elite players in the NFL like Josh Allen, Austin Ekeler or Tyreek Hill. Instead, I'll look at the players you have questions about who could exceed or fail to meet expectations at each position.

Week 16 Start ‘Em: Running Backs
Start of the Week
Jerick McKinnon vs. Seahawks (1 p.m. ET, Fox): Am I chasing the points here? Maybe, but McKinnon has scored 66.6 fantasy points in the last two weeks, and he has a great matchup next against the Seahawks. Their defense has allowed the second-most points to backs, not to mention the fifth-most catches and the fourth-most receiving yards to the position. How can you afford to not start McKinnon?
