Running back D'Andre Swift and wide receivers Christian Watson and Jayden Reed should all be on the field for the Week 16 contest between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers.
While Swift and Watson are both questionable to play, they are expected to go on Saturday night.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Swift is expected to go, and Watson said he should be good to play during the week.
Reed was also on the injury report this week, but that was due to a personal matter and he logged a full practice on Thursday before being removed from the list.
Knowing all that, here's our start or sit advice for Swift, Reed and Watson in Week 16.
D'Andre Swift start or sit advice
Swift enters Week 16 ranked as RB15 overall, making him an every-week RB2 option in all formats.
Green Bay presents a tough matchup, with the Packers giving up the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs this season.
However, the Packers won't have Micah Parsons or Devonte Wyatt due to injury, and they have a few more players listed as questionable along the defensive line.
Swift finished with 63 yards and 4.8 yards per tote against the Packers in Week 14, so he has shown he can find space to run against Green Bay in the past.
Regardless, Swift has been good enough this season that there is just no way you can bench him on Saturday night.
Verdict: Start
Christian Watson start or sit advice
Since making his 2025 debut in Week 8, Watson ranks as WR11 overall, making him a high-end WR2 play every week.
Watson is presented with a juicy matchup in Week 16, with the Bears ceding the third-most fantasy points per game to wideouts this season.
Make sure he's active first, but if Watson plays, we're starting him.
Verdict: Start
Jayden Reed start or sit advice
After returning from injury in Week 14, it has been fairly tough sledding for Reed, who has posted nine catches for 86 yards in that span, good enough for WR33 overall.
Part of the problem for Reed is that the Packers have a lot of mouths to feed in their receivers room. It has also become apparent that Watson is quarterback Jordan Love's preferred option in the passing attack.
While the Bears are a favorable matchup for wide receivers, with Chicago giving up the third-most fantasy points per game to the position, we just haven't seen enough out of Reed since his return to trust him in lineups.
Verdict: Sit
