Welcome back to the lots. The pressure is worse this week. The lineup calls keep meaning more. I’m navigating the fantasy playoff minefield by bringing you my favorite starts and sits of Week 16. Tail and fade however you see fit. I also looked back at the best 40-year-old quarterbacks we’ve seen, and worked through my College Football Playoff bracket. Buckle up, my friends.

The Absurdity of Isaiah Likely’s Week, Unsung Fantasy Heroes, and Super Bowl Roulette (Dec 16, 2025)

Welcome back to the lots. I may have lost it on this one. Isaiah Likely’s Week 15 performance was the last straw. I could’ve overlooked the ridiculousness of D.J. Moore’s two touchdowns on five targets if not for Lamar Jackson attempting 12 passes. After I worked through those feelings, I found some unsung heroes for the fantasy playoffs and played Super Bowl roulette. The Lean from the Lots is presented by Football Over Expected.

Starts and Sits for the Playoffs, Isaiah Likely’s Spot, and All-Time Fantasy Moments (Dec 12, 2025)

Welcome back to the lots. There’s no next week, my friends. We’re burning the ships. It’s more important than ever to make the right call. I’ve got some of my favorite starts and sits to help you do that. Jalen Hurts’ statistical improbability on Monday night inspired a search into the most crushing fantasy moments I can remember. It couldn’t be all bad. There are also times I recall fondly. For the college football fans, I also ranked the potential for fun in some of the most notable matchups.

Welcome back to the lots. We’re in the endgame, now. I hope our Week 14 plays helped you get there. The report card seems to indicate they may have. I also made a case for rostering Shedeur Sanders and broke down the most favorable fantasy playoff schedules. The journey to fantasy immortality has only just begun.

Welcome back to the lots. Your season might come down to Week 14. Can’t play scared now. If you need a second opinion, I’ve got three of my favorite starts and sits to help.
