This is it, my friends. The last Start & Sit column for the 2022 fantasy football season. I appreciate you all sticking with us all year, and I hope this column has helped you make it to your fantasy football championship. Now it's time to win it!
In case you’re new to the column, here’s a quick explainer of what we’re trying to do here (skip down if you’ve been here before). We’re here to wrestle with the decisions that are keeping us up at night. Do you bench a struggling player you took in the second round? Do you take a chance on the guy who has seemingly been playing over his head? Do you sit the high-floor/low-ceiling player for the low-floor/high-ceiling player? We won’t know the “correct” answers until the games are over. But we’re going to do our best to talk through it.
Welcome to Week 17. If you’re reading this, I hope it’s because you’re playing in your fantasy football championship! If not, then I at least hope you’re playing for third place.

Welcome to Week 16. I hope this article finds you in your fantasy football playoffs! Otherwise, why are you here?! Just kidding. Even if you’re just playing in your consolation bracket, that’s cool too! This info still applies to you, my friends.

Welcome to Week 14. We’ve got a strange week ahead of us. This is obviously the most important week of the season thus far, but it will also be a week without some massive difference-makers. The Packers, Falcons, Bears, Colts, Saints, and Commanders are all on bye this week. Which means we’ll be without anyone from Aaron Jones to Justin Fields to Terry McLaurin to Jonathan Taylor and all the way to some useful lesser stars like Christian Watson, Brian Robinson, and Jahan Dotson.
