Fantasy Football Start or Sit: Jeremy Hill, Mike Evans, Kenny Stills, Johnny Manziel, Russell Wilson Championship Week 16 Options

The fantasy football season is moving into Week 16 and the champions round of the playoffs and for fantasy owners some sleeper and keeper options to pick up and start for the finals include Jeremy Hill, Mike Evans, Isaiah Crowell, Russell Wilson, Kenny Stills, Johnny Manziel, Terrance West, Josh Gordon, Odell Beckham, Andre Williams, Matt Asiata, Mike Evans, Charles Johnson, CJ Anderson, Kerwynn Williams and Carlos Hyde.

Hill has been one of the best surprises this season for the Bengals and fantasy owners, as he has stepped up with Gio Bernard banged up. Hill had 152 total yards and two TDs in Week 15 and he out touched Bernard in the matchup and that makes him worth using for the championship. For anyone with a QB in a clinch situation or with someone like Drew Stanton, Manziel could be worth starting despite his struggles on Sunday. Mike Pettine said he will start against the Panthers and he could bounce back against Carolina in Week 16. Manziel is still worth hanging on to in keeper leagues.

The Giants have been getting some strong play from rookie Odell Beckham and Andre Williams on offense and with the Redskins coming up next week, the two could shine again. CJ Anderson and Juwan Thompson have been getting the majority of carries with the Broncos and they should continue that with Ronnie Hillman and Montee Ball dealing with injuries. Anderson has been the better option since he is starting, while Thompson is an option in deeper leagues and keeper leagues.

Fantasy owners are looking to make some big decisions heading into Week 16, as the players that start over the ones left on the bench could be the difference between winning and losing. Matchups are a factor, but so are injuries and other issues with teams and owners need to be aware of that moving forward into the next week. For example, fantasy owners should take a long look at picking up and starting Johnny Manziel, as he could get continue start in Week 16 over Brian Hoyer. Manziel is a boom or bust option, but if booms owners could win their playoff matchups.

Sure, Manziel had a horrible game in Week 15, but he is a strong keeper option heading into next season and chances are he will not have as rough of a game in his second start as he did this week. Some other names for Week 16 to check out include Charles Johnson, Moncrief, Matt Asiata, Ben Tate, Andrew Hawkins and Latavius Murray, as they all can be strong performers for fantasy owners. Mike Evans has also been strong all season and he comes in with 59 catches for 948 yards and 11 touchdowns and he is worth starting in Week 16 along with fellow rookie Odell Beckham.

The Vikings have been playing much better on offense over the past few weeks and Charles Johnson has emerged as a better option than Cordarrelle Patterson. Johnson has been playing the majority of snaps on offense and he has passed Patterson in the depth chart for the time being. Andre Williams stepped up this week with Rashad Jennings limited and that could lead to more carries for him in the future as well.
