BALLER MOVE: Start in deeper leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end DST1
ANALYSIS: The Packers are mostly a matchup play in Week 16 with an advantageous matchup with the Panthers. Carolina ranks as the second-most favorable DST matchup in adjusted fantasy points allowed. The Panthers have allowed a positive POA in six of their last seven games, with an average POA allowed of +5.7 PPG over the last five games. Since their Week 7 bye, Carolina has surrendered 4.4 sacks per game.
Green Bay has been a mediocre defense and makes this week’s Top 12 as a matchup upside start. The Packers have scored double-digit fantasy points only twice all season, and only once since their Week 6 bye. They’ve allowed an average of 29 points per game over the last five with less than three sacks per game. They were able to get Baker Mayfield on the ground five times in Week 15 and the Panthers have allowed 4.4 sacks per game over the last five games.
We had a tough time ranking the Packers along with the first few teams in Tier 4. It’s the Panthers matchup that gives the Packers the edge, but we would have no issue going with the Dolphins, Lions, or Raiders instead.
