Championship week is here, and setting a clean Week 17 lineup is harder than ever. Matt Schauf and Jared Smola break down the toughest start-sit decisions of the season, navigating injuries, tough matchups, a weird holiday schedule, and playoff-clinching scenarios that could change team plans. We dig into what to do with Lamar Jackson, how to handle the Steelers backfield, whether Michael Carter is a real option, how to approach Justin Herbert after last week’s bounce-back, and the impossible Justin Jefferson conversation, plus more tough calls for Week 17.
