Matchup Previews: Week 16 (Ep. 637)

The whole crew is here to run through every single matchup and tell you who to start and fade during fantasy football's championship week! Do we immediately play George Kittle (19:29) as a top-four tight end if he ends up returning this week and should fantasy managers gamble on either Myles Gaskin (25:48) or Salvon Ahmed if Gaskin is healthy enough to suit up? Is the Steelers' defense too tough for Jonathan Taylor (42:30) and can fantasy managers get away with starting both Baltimore RBs (52:15)? Why should we be fading each Carolina WR (1:05:29) and would we feel comfortable playing Ezekiel Elliott (1:14:27) if he were to take the field facing Philadelphia?
