Fantasy Football Week 16 WR Start/Sits: Who to play, who to bench

Zay Flowers is blossoming at the right time for Ravens and Fantasy managers, and hopefully he stays hot in Week 16 against New England. He should be considered a reliable No. 2 Fantasy wide receiver in most leagues.

I've been reluctant to trust Flowers lately, whether it be due to poor play, tough matchups, or Lamar Jackson's issues. But in each of his last two games against Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, he has scored at least 15.8 PPR points in each game, and I'm looking for another strong game against the Patriots.

New England has allowed six touchdowns to receivers over the last five games, and four players have scored at least 12.1 PPR points during that time. In this game the flowers must be in this range or better.

He had only three games with fewer than 11.4 PPR points all season, so the court was safe for Flowers. But he scored just his second touchdown of the season in Week 15 against the Bengals, and it's the first time he's had back-to-back games with more than 12 PPR points since the first two games of the year.

He still has three games left to produce well, so let's hope that happens in Week 16. It's great to see Flowers help Fantasy managers when it matters most, and I'm encouraged by his prediction for this game against New England.
