The fantasy playoffs are here, and the stakes are sky-high. This week, Michael Pittman Jr., Cedric Tillman, and Romeo Doubs are on the radar, but can they deliver when it matters most?
In a season full of twists and turns, now is not the time to gamble on low-floor players unless necessary.
Let's explore whether these wideouts can help you secure a playoff win or if they are better off on your bench.
Should I Start Michael Pittman Jr. for Fantasy Football?
A lingering back injury has hampered Michael Pittman Jr., but he practiced in full on Wednesday and is anticipated to play against the Denver Broncos.
While the USC product led the Indianapolis Colts in targets, catches, and receiving yards in Week 13, he only posted 9.2 PPR points in that game. The return of Josh Downs, who practiced fully this week, could further hinder Pittman's fantasy ceiling.

The Broncos are a difficult matchup for wide receivers, allowing just seven touchdowns to the position this season and the 10th-fewest fantasy points per game. Denver has also given up the second-fewest receptions to wideouts. The receiver is a sit this week, though he could be a flex option in deeper leagues if you are out of alternatives.
Should I Start Jerome Ford for Fantasy Football?
Jerome Ford's recent performances have been underwhelming, with 117 total rushing yards on 32 carries over the last six games. He scored only one touchdown this season, back in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Cincinnati product's Week 14 output of 28 rushing yards and 19 receiving yards on 40 snaps was disappointing. Splitting work with Nick Chubb further limits his value.
This week, the Cleveland Browns' contest with the Kansas Chiefs is particularly tough, as they permit the fewest fantasy points per game to running backs and have conceded no receiving touchdowns to the position. Unless you are franticly needing his assistance, Ford should be benched. At best, he is a low-end flex option in deeper leagues.
Should I Start Romeo Doubs for Fantasy Football?
Romeo Doubs has been out since suffering a concussion in Week 12 but practiced on Wednesday and Thursday this week. He has now cleared the NFL concussion protocol and he is trending toward playing Sunday night against the Seattle Seahawks.

The Green Bay Packers wide receiver room is crowded, with Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, and Dontayvion Wicks all seeing action in Doubs' absence.
The Seahawks have permitted the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season, making this a less-than-ideal matchup for a player returning from injury. Even if Doubs is active against Seattle as expected, the 24-year-old should not be in your starting lineup for Week 15.

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 18? Jauan Jennings, Courtland Sutton, Michael Pittman Jr.
The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
