Jalen Coker Delivers Dud In Week 16

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker was a non-factor in the Week 16 victory against the Arizona Cardinals, registering two catches for eight yards. He was targeted five times, which tied for second on the team, but he finished sixth on the team in receiving. Carolina tied a season-best with 36 points and resurgent quarterback […]

Rome Odunze Goes For 77 Yards Against Lions

Wide receiver Rome Odunze of the Chicago Bears ended with a respectable 77 receiving yards on four catches in a 34-17 loss to Detroit on Sunday. The rookie was targeted seven times, which was third on the team, and was second only to receiver Keenan Allen in yards. Though this season has been a major […]

Big Day For Cardinals Kicker Chad Ryland

Arizona Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland had an excellent game Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, converting all three field goal attempts and all three extra points in the 36-30 overtime defeat. The kicker was one of the few Cardinals who outperformed expectations, nailing field goals of 48, 30, and 58 yards, the last of the which […]

Michael Wilson Held To Two Catches In Loss To Panthers

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson finished with two catches on five targets for 44 yards in a 36-30 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. It was an all-around poor day for Arizona's passing game, as tight end Trey McBride had his worst receiving day of the year and wide receiver Marvin Harrison […]

Trey McBride Barely Involved In OT Loss At Carolina

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride had his least productive receiving day of the season during a 36-30 overtime loss to Carolina on Sunday, finishing with just three catches for 20 yards. The tight end phenom was targeted only four times, which was fewer than journeyman running back Michael Carter and No. 2 receiver Michael […]

Modest Day For Marvin Harrison Jr. Against Panthers

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. finished with a forgettable Week 16 against Carolina, catching four passes for 39 yards on eight targets. The rookie has had a rough stretch after the Cards' bye, finishing outside the top 40 at his position four times in the past five weeks, which has been disappointing given […]

DeeJay Dallas Scores TD On Lone Touch

Arizona Cardinals running back DeeJay Dallas turned his only involvement of the game Sunday against Carolina into a one-yard touchdown catch. The 26-year-old had no carries and only one target, but made it count for his first touchdown of the season. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, it wasn't enough in a 36-30 overtime loss that knocked […]

Jaylen Warren Effective In Loss To Ravens

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren was an effective option in the 34-17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, during which he compiled 92 total yards and caught a season-high five passes. The third-year back ran for a team-high 48 yards on 12 carries, but was more efficient as a pass catcher, catching all five of […]

Turnovers Hamper Russell Wilson In Loss To Baltimore

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson finished with a solid performance marred by turnovers in a 34-17 defeat against Baltimore, completing 22 of 33 passes for 217 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. He also rushed for 27 on three carries and lost a fumble. The veteran completed passes to nine different receivers in the game, […]

Ravens D/ST Scores TD In Win Against Steelers

The Baltimore Ravens D/ST came through with a big performance in Week 16 against Pittsburgh, compiling two turnovers, three sacks, and a defensive touchdown in the 34-17 victory. Baltimore cornerback Marlon Humphrey nabbed a Russell Wilson pass and returned it 37 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter, clinching the victory in the process. […]

Rashod Bateman Scores TD With Lone Catch

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman caught only one pass Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but made it count for a 14-yard touchdown. He was targeted three times in the 34-17 victory, but Baltimore heavily leaned on its running game, rushing for 220 yards. The Minnesota product was questionable with a foot injury and played […]

Micah Parsons Will Suit Up Against Bucs

Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons (illness) is still expected to play Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to a report from NFL Network. The star defender came down with a stomach bug and is listed as questionable to play in the game, but appears ready to go. Whether he plays his normal snap […]

Jameis Winston To Serve As Emergency QB

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston (shoulder) will serve as the team's emergency quarterback against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16, according to NFL Network. The Browns made a change this week, and will turn to quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson as the starter with Bailey Zappe serving as the backup, relegating Winston to the third option. The […]

Will Levis Expected To Be Backup In Week 16

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (shoulder) is expected to serve as the team's backup quarterback in Week 16 at Indianapolis, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The second-year quarterback appeared on the injury report on Friday and is listed as questionable to play, but should be active. The Titans elected to bench Levis and […]

Season-High In Targets For Robert Woods In Week 16

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods had a season-best six targets on Saturday in a 27-19 loss at Kansas City, finishing the day with three catches for 19 yards. The increase in work was tied to an injury, as wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) left the game and did not return after being carted off. […]

Dalton Schultz Finds End Zone Against Chiefs

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz found the end zone for the second time in three weeks Saturday at Kansas City, ultimately ending the day with five catches for 45 yards and a score. The veteran tight end was targeted eight times, which was second on the team behind receiver Nico Collins. Most importantly for […]

Decent Day For Nico Collins At Kansas City

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins had a solid but not overwhelming performance at Kansas City, finishing the day with seven catches for 60 yards and no touchdowns in the 27-19 defeat. Houston's top receiver led the team with 10 targets, though Kansas City ultimately was able to limit his damage. Perhaps most important for […]

No Touchdowns, 71 Total Yards For Joe Mixon Against Chiefs

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon compiled 71 total yards with no touchdowns in a 27-19 defeat at Kansas City on Saturday. The first-year Texan had a decent day on the ground against a strong Chiefs run defense, compiling 57 yards on 14 carries, but wasn't involved much as a receiver, drawing just two targets […]

So-So Performance From C.J. Stroud At Kansas City

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud delivered a decent if unspectacular performance in a 27-19 loss to Kansas City, completing 23 of 39 passes for 244 yards to go with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also rushed for 23 yards on two carries. The sophomore quarterback threw touchdown passes to tight end Dalton Schultz and […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports: Week 16 Updates For Joe Burrow, Isaac Guerendo, Jaylen Waddle, Baker Mayfield, Tyrone Tracy Jr.

The fantasy season is down to its money-making weeks. The playoffs are here, with most leagues into their semifinals during NFL Week 16. That means critical roster decisions ahead of elimination games, meaning managers will have to be up to date on injuries to starting-caliber players like Joe Burrow, Jaylen Waddle, Kenneth Walker III, and […]

Tylan Wallace Not Lineup-Worthy Against Pittsburgh

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Tylan Wallace is not a playable option despite a decent opportunity and matchup in Week 16 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens could be looking for additional pass-catching options with Rashod Bateman (foot) and Nelson Agholor (concussion) both questionable against a Steelers pass defense that ranks in the middle of the […]

Isaiah Likely A Big Risk Against Pittsburgh

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely should be considered a very high-risk bet in the fantasy playoffs with the Ravens playing host to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16. The third-year tight end's ups and downs have been wild this season, ranging from a TE1 showing in Week 1 to a zero-target performance despite playing […]

Justice Hill A Fringe Flex Option Vs. Steelers

Now that Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (personal) is slated to play in Week 16 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he can be considered a fringe flex option for fantasy managers in PPR formats. The veteran back hasn't done much as a change-of-pace rusher behind starter Derrick Henry, but he has been an effective receiver […]

Mike Williams Too Risky To Start Against Ravens

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Williams has both opportunity and a great matchup in Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens, but starting him at this stage of the fantasy playoffs is not advised. Pittsburgh will again be without top receiver George Pickens (hamstring) and Baltimore has been unusually poor against the pass, ranking 31st against […]

Van Jefferson Off Fantasy Radar In Week 16

Despite what could be additional opportunity, fantasy managers should steer clear of Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Van Jefferson in a Week 16 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Top Pittsburgh receiver George Pickens (hamstring) missed the previous two contests and is out again against Baltimore, but that hasn't really led to much for Jefferson, who had […]

Joe Mixon Still Start-Worthy Against Chiefs

Now that Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is officially off the Week 16 injury report, fantasy managers can comfortably pencil him in as an RB2 option against the Kansas City Chiefs. The veteran back has had a nice first year as a Texan, but faces a Chiefs defense that ranks first in the […]

C.J. Stroud Relegated To Superflex Role Versus Chiefs

The struggling Houston Texans' passing game combined with the blitz-happy Kansas City Chiefs should have fantasy managers dialing back expectations for quarterback C.J. Stroud in Week 16. The second-year quarterback has been sacked the fifth-most times in the league this year, which is not a great sign against a Kansas City defense that knocks down […]

Nico Collins Deserves WR1 Consideration In Week 16

The Houston Texans' offense has been a bit of a letdown this season, but wide receiver Nico Collins has been every bit as good as advertised, maintaining his WR1 status against Kansas City in Week 16. The Michigan Man has played at least 70% of Houston's snaps in seven games and finished in the top […]

Tank Dell Not In Starting Discussion Vs. Chiefs

Even by boom-or-bust standards, Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell has been an extreme case this year, making him a low-end WR4 option in Week 16 against Kansas City. The second-year receiver has failed to surpass 50 yards receiving eight times in 13 games and logged just one top-15 finish among receivers all season. This […]

Tough To Trust Dalton Schultz In Favorable Week 16 Matchup

Despite a favorable matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz should be considered a TE2 in Week 16. The former Dallas Cowboy is reliably playing 80% of Houston snaps and averaging three catches per contest, but rarely delivering big performances, finishing in the top 10 for fantasy tight ends just […]
