The New Orleans Saints lead the division at the moment and have the season sweep over the Carolina Panthers should that come into play. The Saints have not faced the Falcons yet and will see them twice over the next three weeks.

Should the Saints win and the Falcons lose, Atlanta’s playoff hopes could be dashed. New Orleans can also continue to build on their NFC South lead and will obviously hope that the Panthers start to fade away and struggle over these last few weeks.

It was tough coming up with players to sit from either of these teams because both offenses are good. The Saints running game gives us Mark Ingram and rookie sensation Alvin Kamara and both are must-starts in fantasy football. That isn’t even up for debating.

As for the Falcons, Julio Jones is the must start for Atlanta in fantasy football. He hasn’t had as big of numbers this year, but that’s due to Ryan’s down year as a passer. Jones went for over 250 yards against the Buccaneers two weeks ago, which was such a Julio Jones thing to do.

With the playoffs beginning in most fantasy football leagues, be sure to check your lineups and best of luck this week!
