Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em: Week 16

Week 16 Projection: Standard: /PPR:. RB. Chicago Bears. Matt Forte. 3. player. 57
Sit ‘Em
What has happened to the Bears? They went from one of the top contenders in the NFC to missing the playoffs and really looking like a lost team. Jay Cutler has been as bad as anybody this year in the NFL and the Bears finally decided to bench him for youngster Jimmy Clauson.
I know it may be hard to sit Forte, as he is one of the better fantasy RBs this season, but I don’t think you will regret it.
This is why I see Matt Forte struggling in this pivitol week 16. The Bears offense will likely continue to struggle with Clauson at the helm, and I can’t see Forte getting it going without solid QB play.
The Bears look like they have packed it in this year, and I wouldn’t put my fantasy championship on a guy that has just given up.
I know it may be hard to sit Forte, as he is one of the better fantasy RBs this season, but I don’t think you will regret it if you look for guys like Jeremy Hill or Fred Jackson this week.
Consider him a flex play at best for this week.
