Week 16 SNF Ravens vs. Patriots Start 'Em Sit 'Em Picks feat. Lamar Jackson, Stefon Diggs, Hunter Henry

Lamar Jackson's 7-7 Baltimore Ravens are set to battle the 11-3 New England Patriots in what could be the last gasp for Jackson's team. On the other side, New England is fighting to keep Josh Allen's Buffalo Bills at bay in the AFC East. There will be a lot of pressure on both sides.

Of course, you might feel the most pressure as a fantasy football manager who is potentially one game away from the championship. With so much on the line, every pick must be optimized. Here's a look at who you can trust and who to avoid in Baltimore's prime time showdown against New England.

Derrick Henry has plenty of reason to pull out every last stop as he will face his former head coach Mike Vrabel. Vrabel, armed with his new Derrick Henry in the form of TreVeyon Henderson, has every reason to put him on display in front of the country. Expect both backs to get a healthy workload.

Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte and Hunter Henry are all in line for a potentially big game. It might be a question of which one it is as all three have had their moments this season. With the three facing a tightened defense in Baltimore, one of the three is likely to draw the attention, opening things up for the others. However, it can be assumed that one of the three will reap the benefit.

Must Starts

• TreVeyon Henderson
• Derrick Henry
• Stefon Diggs
• Kayshon Boutte
• Hunter Henry
• Patriots D/ST

Lamar Jackson should be treated as a backup quarterback in fantasy football for the rest of the season. Something isn't right. Even against optimal matchups, he has struggled. Once again, Jackson missed practice on Wednesday, according to Baltimore's official injury report, setting the stage for another disappointing performance against a lockdown defense.

With Jackson likely to struggle, stay away from Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and DeAndre Hopkins. Mark Andrews lives somewhere between must-start and must-sit territory, but if you start the tight end, don't expect miracles.

One New England player to avoid would be Rhamondre Stevenson. Stevenson has had just six carries in two of his last three games, setting the stage for another quiet day against a defense that could shut him down on the few times he does touch the ball.

Must Sits

• Lamar Jackson
• Zay Flowers
• Rashod Bateman
• DeAndre Hopkins
• Rhamondre Stevenson
