Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones totaled 67 scoreless yards on his 18 carries, adding another 26 through the air on 3-of-5 receiving in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks.

Sam Darnold Tosses Three More Scores Vs. Seattle

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold completed 22-of-35 passes for 246 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks.

Eagles D/ST Effective Despite Surrendering 36 Points

The Philadelphia Eagles could not hold on late, falling to the Washington Commanders 36-33 in Week 16. The points allowed were a new season high for the unit, the most they've let up since Week 4 in a 33-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Still, they were effective -- turning over the Commanders' offense […]

Jake Elliott Has Monster Day In Divisional Clash

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott connected on 4-of-5 field goal attempts and nailed all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 36-33 loss to the Washington Commanders. The Memphis product converted kicks of 24, 40 (twice), and 50 yards on the afternoon, missing his longest attempt of the day -- a 56-yarder at the end […]

Grant Calcaterra No-Shows In Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra was not targeted in his team's 36-33 loss to the Washington Commanders. It was a weird day for the Eagles in the upset loss. Quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) was forced from the contest early, leaving Kenny Pickett (ribs) manning the helm for the team. Pickett would attempt just 24 […]

Kenneth Gainwell A Non-Factor In Loss To Washington

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell rushed for seven yards on his four carries in Sunday's 36-33 upset loss to the Washington Commanders.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely corralled all three of his targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The third-year pro scored his fifth TD of the season -- matching his career-best mark from a year ago. His score was a nine-yard walk-in off a nifty misdirection […]

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews brought in 4-of-6 targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in his team's 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers reeled in five of eight targets for 100 yards in Week 16's 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He added three yards on his lone carry.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 15-of-23 passes for 207 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Vikings D/ST Primed For Another Strong Week

The Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams is yet again a top option among defensive units in Week 16's road meeting with the Seattle Seahawks. The Vikings' defense has been a lock-down unit all season and gets another vulnerable matchup this Sunday in a Seahawks team letting up the sixth-most points per game to fantasy D/STs (10.9). […]

Will Reichard In A Tough Spot Vs. Seattle

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard is a fringe top option in Week 16 when his team lines up against the Seattle Seahawks on the road. The rookie was excellent in last weekend's 30-12 win over the Chicago Bears, knocking in all six of his kicks (three extra points), including his first field goals since returning […]

T.J. Hockenson A Solid Week 16 Option

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson gets an exploitable matchup this Sunday in a meeting with the Seattle Seahawks. The 27-year-old has been fine – albeit unspectacular – over the last few weeks as he rounds into form. Hockenson has had a few nice performances but has mostly been a third option in the Vikes' […]

Cam Akers To Be Safely Avoided For Fantasy Semi-Finals

Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers remains strictly a handcuff option for this Sunday's road clash with the Seattle Seahawks. Akers scored a touchdown on ten carries (his most in a game since Week 11), rushing for 24 yards in last weekend's 30-12 rout of the Bears. Still, he picked up most of his work […]

Jordan Addison A High-End WR3 Vs. Seattle

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will square off against the Seattle Seahawks in a road matchup this Sunday. The 22-year-old will look to continue a stretch of strong performances against a beatable Seahawks defense. Since Week 11, the second-year wideout is the WR5 in PPR formats – racking up 30 receptions, 473 yards, and […]

Justin Jefferson A Top-Three Option In Week 16

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is a locked-in WR1 in a meeting with the Seattle Seahawks this weekend. The former LSU Tiger has been as steady as they come in 2024 – notching at least 14 fantasy points in all but two outings. Jefferson matched a season-high with 14 targets in last weekend's win […]

Aaron Jones In A Favorable Spot Vs. Seattle

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones has another exploitable outing on tap in Week 16 in a road tilt with the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran is in the midst of a nice stretch, with a touchdown in four straight games and three appearances of at least 16 fantasy points. He's commanded fewer targets recently than […]

Sam Darnold Remains A QB1 Despite Tough Matchup

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold will get a rough matchup this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks on the road. The 27-year-old had his fourth outing of the season with fewer than 16 fantasy points last weekend in a win over the Chicago Bears and has another stiff test on tap in Week 16. The Seahawks […]

George Pickens To Miss Third Straight Game

Per the NFL's Tom Pelissero, the Pittsburgh Steelers have ruled out wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) for this Saturday's divisional clash with the Baltimore Ravens. Pickens has been shelved since popping up as a late-week addition on the team's Week 14 injury report and will miss his third straight contest. It comes as no surprise, […]

Mo Alie-Cox Missing Another Practice

James Boyd of The Athletic reports that Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (hip) is not practicing on Thursday. It's the second straight day he'll be tagged with a DNP.

Brian Burns Expected To Play Vs. Atlanta

New York Giants outside linebacker Brian Burns (ankle, neck) will not practice Thursday for the second straight day. However, per head coach Brian Daboll, he will play this Sunday when his team squares off against the Atlanta Falcons in a road tilt. ESPN's Jordan Raanan reported the news. The star pass-rusher sustained his ailments in […]

Tee Higgins Downgraded On Thursday

According to ESPN's Ben Baby, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (rest, knee) is not practicing on Thursday. The news comes one day after the wideout was able to log a limited session.

Patrick Mahomes Projected To Play Saturday

Per head coach Andy Reid, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) will "most likely end up playing" this Saturday against the Houston Texans. Matt McMullen of the team reported the news. According to McMullen, wide receiver Marquise Brown (shoulder) also has a good chance to play. It's excellent news for the Chiefs as, at […]

Tyreek Hill Gets A Day Of Rest

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist, rest) was officially a non-participant in his team's first practice of Week 16. It's been the veteran's routine for some time now -- kicking off Miami's week of practice listed as either a limited participant or DNP each week since Week 11. Fellow wideouts Jaylen Waddle (knee) and […]

Xavier Legette Misses Wednesday's Practice

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (hip) was tagged with a DNP to kick off this week's worth of practice. It's no surprise, as the 23-year-old was considered week to week with what was once labeled as a groin injury. He sustained it this past weekend in Carolina's 30-14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. It's […]

Curtis Samuel Limited In Walkthrough

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (shoulder) logged a limited session in Wednesday's team walkthrough. The 28-year-old sustained a shoulder injury in Week 15's win over the Detroit Lions in the fourth quarter. Samuel caught just 1-of-2 targets for one yard on 27% of snaps in the 48-42 victory. It was one of his lower […]
