Royce Freeman Doesn't Have Much Appeal In Week 16

Houston Texans running back Royce Freeman saw his first carries of the season last week, splitting backfield work with Dare Ogunbowale and finishing with 11 carries for 51 yards. Freeman seems slightly more likely than Ogunbowale to lead the backfield on Saturday against the Titans, but fantasy managers would need to be pretty desperate to […]

Jordan Akins Is Risky Week 16 Play

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins found the end zone last week against Kansas City, but he only finished with three catches for 22 yards. He's now finished with under 25 yards in four of the last five games. On Saturday, he faces the Tennessee Titans, who held him to one catch for five yards […]

Davis Mills Has Little Fantasy Appeal In Week 16

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills has seen a shift in his role over the last two games, with the team occasionally bringing Jeff Driskel in at quarterback to change the pace up. Because of that, Mills' fantasy ceiling—which was already low—has gotten even lower. Last week was the first time since Week 5 that Mills […]

Chiefs Defense Is Risky Play In Week 16

The Kansas City Chiefs defense is a risky fantasy option on Saturday against a Seattle Seahawks team that ranks seventh in the NFL in points scored per game. Combine that with the Chiefs ranking just 19th in scoring defense and 30th in takeaway differential, and there's just not a ton of upside here from a […]

Travis Kelce Remains Top Fantasy Tight End Play In Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been the top tight end in fantasy football this season by a mile, and there's no reason to think that'll change on Saturday against the Seahawks. Kelce is coming off his second game of the season with 10 catches and over 100 yards, but he failed to […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Has WR2 Appeal For Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster saw a dip in his production during November, but he's bounced back over the last two games, with a combined 21 targets over that span, which he's turned into 19 receptions. The yardage totals and yards per reception haven't been that high during these two games, but quarterback […]

Jerick McKinnon Looks To Continue Strong Run

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon has been on a roll lately, scoring multiple touchdowns in each of the team's last two games. He's been especially useful in the passing game, with 17 targets over the past two games. Three of his four touchdowns in that span were on receptions. With how important McKinnon […]

Isiah Pacheco Has Plenty Of Appeal In Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has now seen double-digit carries in six consecutive games, and while his fantasy value is capped by his lack of usage in the passing game, he should be a solid RB2/3 option against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16. What makes Pacheco especially appealing this week is how […]

Patrick Mahomes Is Strong Week 16 Fantasy Option

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes remains a top fantasy option heading into Saturday's home contest against the Seattle Seahawks. While the Midwest has been hit by snow and wind this week, the forecast on Saturday in KC looks like it'll be cold, but not impacted much by other weather issues. Mahomes comes into this […]

Jordan Akins Finds End Zone In Week 15

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins caught three passes for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He was targeted six times, the second-most of any Texans player. In a tight end landscape where there are not a lot of consistent streaming options, Akins has some appeal because the […]

Chris Moore Disappoints In Week 15

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Moore was a popular waiver wire add after he had 124 receiving yards against Dallas last week, but he wasn't able to repeat it against the Chiefs this week. Despite leading the team in targets with nine, Moore only brought in four of them for 42 yards. His fantasy value […]

Royce Freeman Leads Texans In Rushing Yards

Houston Texans running back Royce Freeman carried the ball 11 times for 51 yards in Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He also caught a five-yard pass. It was the first action that Freeman had seen all season. With Dameon Pierce (ankle) now on the IR and done for the season, most expected Rex […]

Davis Mills Runs For Touchdown Against Chiefs

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills threw a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but he only finished the game with 121 passing yards, going 12-for-24. He also ran for a touchdown, adding 25 yards on the ground. It was a solid game for Mills, but it doesn't really mean much […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Catches Touchdown In Week 15

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught three of his five targets in Sunday's win over the Houston Texans, finishing with 26 yards and a touchdown, his second of the season. But while the touchdown is encouraging, Valdes-Scantling has struggled to really carve out a role in this offense. He's finished with under 30 […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Catches 10 Passes In Week 15

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster shared the team lead in targets on Sunday, as quarterback Patrick Mahomes looked his way 10 times. Smith-Schuster managed to catch all of those, finishing with 88 receiving yards. With 19 catches over the last two games, Smith-Schuster looks like he's re-established himself as the team's No. 1 […]

Travis Kelce Leads Chiefs In Receiving Yards Against Houston

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce continued to show why he's the top tight end in fantasy on Sunday against the Texans, catching all 10 of his targets for 105 yards. It was the second time this season that Kelce caught that many passes, and his fifth game with over 100 receiving yards. Kelce […]

Jerick McKinnon Finds End Zone Twice In Week 15

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon had 10 carries for 52 yards in Sunday's win over the Texans, including the walk-off rushing touchdown in overtime. McKinnon was also targeted eight times, catching all of them for 70 yards and another touchdown. That's now five touchdowns for McKinnon over the last three games. While he's […]

Isiah Pacheco Has Solid Showing Against Texans

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Isiah Pacheco had 15 carries for 86 yards in Sunday's win over the Texans and caught one pass for 11 yards. This now makes six games in a row with double-digit carries for Pacheco, who has at least 66 rushing yards in each of those contests. His lack of […]

Patrick Mahomes Tosses Two Touchdowns Against Texans

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was 36-for-41 for 336 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's overtime win over the Houston Texans.
