Start: Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks

vs. San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers defense has been a major disappointment this season. This past week they were forced to release one of their more talented players, Rueben Foster, due to a domestic violence situation.

Russell Wilson and the entire Seattle Seahawks find themselves with a very favorable matchup. Seattle is in the thick of a playoff race and know they can’t afford to lose this game. They’ll look to feature the ground attack, but allow Wilson to take advantage of the 49ers weak secondary.

Sit: Baker Mayfield, Cleveland Browns

@ Houston Texans

Baker Mayfield is coming off a very impressive performance this past week. However, it must be taken with a huge grain of salt. The Cincinnati Bengals defense is among the league’s worst and it showed again against the Cleveland Browns.

Things are going to be much different when Mayfield takes on the Houston Texans. Houston defends the pass very well and features a strong pass rush led by J.J. Watt.

Mayfield will have some value down the stretch in fantasy leagues.  However, this is a week where he can stay on your bench. The Browns take on the Bengals again in week 16 which is the championship game in most fantasy leagues.
