Saints vs Packers MNF Fantasy Football Week 16 Start 'Em picks

Week 16 starts

Josh Jacobs is having an excellent 2024 fantasy football season in his first year with the Green Bay Packers. He currently ranks as the overall RB4 this year and has finished among the top 10 weekly running backs seven times in his 14 games this season.

Five of those have come in each of his past five games with all of them being ranked as the weekly RB6 or better with nine touchdowns during that five-game stretch. His momentum, as well as his strong overall season, make him an excellent target for fantasy lineups this week.

He is joined by Kendre Miller, who is expected to get his first opportunity to serve as the New Orleans Saints' starting running back this year with Alvin Kamara out with an injury.

Miller will carry some risk due to the relative unknowns of his workload and efficiency, but he will also feature a ton of upside in this matchup. The Saints are also plying with a backup quarterback this week, so Miller should be utilized often. He is an ideal sleeper candidate in Week 16 lineups.

Saints vs Packers MNF Fantasy Football Week 16 Sit 'Em picks

Week 16 sits

Romeo Doubs is coming off of one of his best overall games of the 2024 fantasy football season, finishing as the WR12 last week. The issue with his outlook in Week 16 is that he finished outside of the top 45 in each of his four games prior to his breakout performances.

He also scored two touchdowns last week, but in a projected low-scoring game against the Saints, the Packers wide receiver should be faded in most formats this week.
