As the NFL's Week 16 approaches, fantasy football managers face critical decisions in their semifinal matchups. Key players like Baker Mayfield and Chuba Hubbard are highlighted as strong start options, while Brock Purdy and Isiah Pacheco are advised to be benched due to recent performances and tough matchups.

Mayfield has shown impressive passing stats, while Hubbard is expected to carry the load for the Carolina Panthers. In contrast, Purdy's struggles and Pacheco's underwhelming return from injury suggest caution.
