Fantasy Football Week 16: Start Baker Mayfield In Championship
The Cleveland Browns have certainly come a long way this season. With seven more wins than in 2017's win-less campaign, and two games left, the Browns could finish above .500. That would certainly be an accomplishment. And the building blocks for a possible playoff run next season are in place.
One of those building blocks, quarterback Baker Mayfield, is already coming into in his own. Look no further than Heath Cummings at CBSSports.com's recommendation to start Mayfield in your fantasy championship matchup this week.
Cummings and Dave Richard join us again to suggest starts and sits at the skill positions. And Mayfield looks like a strong option against the woeful Bengals' defense. Who else should be kept in or out of the lineup in your fantasy playoff matchup? Watch the video above for the best fantasy starts and sits for this week.
