Emari Demercado a Risky Fantasy Play Despite Increased Role

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado is expected to handle an increased workload against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16, but his fantasy outlook remains murky. He is on track to operate as the backup to Michael Carter this week after Zonovan Knight (ankle) was placed on injured reserve. While Demercado was viewed as Arizona's […]

Michael Wilson Still a Top Fantasy Threat Amid Teammate's Potential Return

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson should remain a strong fantasy option against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16 despite the potential return of Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel). Harrison, listed as questionable, is working his way back from missing four games in the last five weeks. Wilson has been at his best when Harrison is […]

Trey McBride a Matchup-Proof Fantasy Starter in Week 16

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride remains a top fantasy option despite a difficult matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16. On paper, it may appear that the odds are stacked against McBride. Not only is he facing a Falcons defense that has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to tight ends in 2025, but […]

Michael Carter an Intriguing Fantasy Play in Larger Role

Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter should lead the backfield against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16, reinforcing his fantasy value as a low-end RB2 or high-end RB3 in fantasy football. Carter will handle a larger workload this week after Zonovan Knight (ankle) was placed on injured reserve. After Knight exited last weekend, Carter played […]

Jacoby Brissett Remains a Viable Starter as Fantasy Playoffs Continue

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett has filled in admirably for Kyler Murray (foot), and he remains a strong fantasy option ahead of Sunday's Week 16 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran quarterback wasn't expected to have any fantasy relevance coming into this season, and even when he took over as the Cardinals' starter, expectations […]

Andy Borregales a Dependable Fantasy Option for Week 16

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales is a strong fantasy option heading into Sunday Night Football against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. Borregales has been the 10th-highest-scoring fantasy kicker this year, making a very positive impact during his rookie season. He has been especially impressive over his last four games, going 12-for-12 on extra […]

Patriots Defense Not a Dependable Option Against Ravens in Week 16

The New England Patriots D/ST comes with plenty of risk in fantasy football ahead of their Week 16 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Although Baltimore and quarterback Lamar Jackson endured a rough patch filled with plenty of turnovers back in November, they've since cleaned things up and executed an impressive 24-0 win over the Bengals […]

Hunter Henry Unlikely to Bounce Back in Week 16?

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is coming off one of his worst games of the season: a one-catch, 18-yard outing against the Buffalo Bills. On one hand, it seems like Henry can only go up from here. On the other hand, he could struggle in a very challenging Week 16 matchup against the […]

Mack Hollins Should Thrive Out Wide in Week 16

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins has another opportunity to produce as a solid flex play in fantasy football ahead of Sunday Night Football against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. Hollins has been heavily involved in the Patriots' offense, averaging six targets and 9.2 full-PPR fantasy points over his last seven contests. During […]

Kayshon Boutte Warrants Deep-League Flex Consideration in Week 16

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte had a disappointing performance last Sunday against the Buffalo Bills (one catch for 30 yards), but he should bounce back against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football in Week 16. Despite his reduced volume and productivity lately, Boutte has played at least 75% of the offensive snaps […]

Stefon Diggs Looking to Snap Low-Volume Skid

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs will look to get back on track in Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens following a disappointing three-game stretch. Over his last three contests, Diggs has played fewer than half of the offensive snaps with just 11 targets, eight catches, 72 yards, and zero touchdowns. He ranks as […]

TreVeyon Henderson Maintains Incredibly High Ceiling for Week 16

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson has been one of the most explosive players in football since taking over as the team's primary ball-carrier in Week 9. Since that Week 9 contest, he ranks as the overall RB4 in full-PPR fantasy points per game, and he's averaging a whopping 6.2 yards per carry. He […]

Michael Mayer Remains Stuck in Backup Role for Week 16

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer remains off the fantasy radar ahead of Week 16 against the Houston Texans. Mayer was productive during his short stint as the team's starting tight end earlier this season, but he fell off the fantasy radar when superstar tight end Brock Bowers returned to the mix mid-year. Mayer […]

Pat Freiermuth Still Overshadowed in Steelers' Offense

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth caught three of his five targets for 45 yards last Monday night against the Miami Dolphins, but he was still out-snapped by tight end Darnell Washington and out-performed by tight end Jonnu Smith. Washington played 73% of the offensive snaps in Week 15, which was the fourth time in […]

Tyjae Spears Seeing Fewer Opportunities Amid Teammate's Breakout

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears has dealt with a reduced role lately as Tony Pollard earns a heavy dose of touches. Pollard was relatively disappointing from Week 5, when Spears returned from injured reserve, through Week 13. However, in Week 14, he broke out against a relatively strong Browns run defense, and he had […]

Chuba Hubbard Trending Downward After Inefficient Performance in Loss

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard had just eight carries for 29 rushing yards in last week's loss to the New Orleans Saints. He also caught just one of his two targets for nine receiving yards. Fantasy managers were hoping that Hubbard would replicate his previous performance, in which he had 19 touches, 124 scrimmage […]

Kaleb Johnson Remains an Afterthought Deep Into Rookie Campaign

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson continues to be one of the most disappointing rookies from the 2025 draft class. The 22-year-old Iowa product played a marginal role once again last week, amassing two carries for four rushing yards on a 3% snap share in the Steelers' win over the Dolphins on Monday Night Football. […]

Chimere Dike an Unappealing Play Amid Stretch of Low-Yardage Games

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike continues to earn snaps and targets deep into his rookie season, but he has posted a stretch of low yardage totals that make it difficult to trust him in fantasy football. Despite garnering 24 targets and 15 catches over his last four games, he has just 93 yards during […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Clinging to Relevance in PPR Leagues

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson continues to see his ball-carrying role decline with Tre'Veyon Henderson earning more touches. However, Stevenson has consistently led the Patriots in snaps when healthy, and he continues to carve out decent volume on passing downs, which keeps him on the bottom end of the fantasy radar for Week […]

Drake Maye Looks to Extend Streak of Consistent Performances

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has continued to play high-quality football during the back half of the season. He ranks 10th among quarterbacks in fantasy points per game since Week 11, displaying impressive consistency with a moderate ceiling. Managers won't gripe about Maye continuing to rank among the top 12 fantasy quarterbacks, but he […]

Zach Charbonnet's Touchdown Makes Up for Low Yardage in Week 16

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet had nine carries for 32 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown during Thursday's Week 16 win over the Los Angeles Rams in overtime. He also caught all four of his targets for an additional 22 receiving yards. Charbonnet was outperformed by Kenneth Walker III in terms of touches, yards, […]

Sam Darnold Overcomes Two Picks in Comeback Win vs. Rams

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold completed 22 of his 34 pass attempts for 270 passing yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions during Thursday's Week 16 comeback win over the Los Angeles Rams in overtime. He also rushed for seven yards and took four sacks in the victory. It wasn't exactly the cleanest game for Darnold, […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Bounces Back in Second Half and Overtime

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught eight of his 13 targets for 96 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's Week 16 win over the Los Angeles Rams in overtime. Smith-Njigba didn't have a single catch during the entire first half, sending managers into a panic as the fantasy playoffs continue in most leagues. However, […]

Kenneth Walker III Breaks Off Long Touchdown in Comeback Win vs. Rams

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III had 11 carries for 100 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown during Thursday's Week 16 win over the Los Angeles Rams in overtime. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 64 receiving yards. The highlight of Walker's game was a 55-yard rushing touchdown in […]

Matthew Stafford Racks Up Highest Yardage Total in Over a Decade

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 29 of his 49 pass attempts for 457 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Thursday's Week 16 loss against the Seattle Seahawks. He also rushed for six yards and didn't take a sack. Although the Rams came up short, Stafford delivered a fantastic final stat line for […]

Puka Nacua Delivers Career-Best Performance on Thursday Night Football

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua caught 12 of his 16 targets for 225 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's Week 16 loss against the Seattle Seahawks. He played 78.3% of the offensive snaps, which was his highest mark since Week 12. In the effort, he set new career-highs in receiving yards and fantasy […]

Cade Otton Upgrades to Full Practice on Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton (knee) practiced in full on Thursday ahead of Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers. This was an upgraded status for Otton after he was limited on Wednesday. The 26-year-old missed last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, but barring a setback, he will return to action this upcoming […]

Van Jefferson Upgrades to Limited on Thursday Ahead of Week 16

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson (back) practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday ahead of Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Jefferson's status improved after he missed practice altogether on Wednesday. The veteran receiver played at least 73% of the snaps in every game from Week 6 through Week 14, but his snap […]

Tre' Harris Limited in Practice Again on Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tre' Harris (hip) remained limited during practice for a second consecutive day on Thursday. The rookie is coming off an impressive showing against the Kansas City Chiefs in which he played a career-high 85% of the snaps, leading to five targets, three catches, and 49 receiving yards. Harris' increased workload […]

Jalen Nailor Remains Limited with Back Injury on Thursday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor (back) was limited in practice for a second consecutive day on Thursday. Nailor picked up the injury during last Sunday's Week 15 win over the Dallas Cowboys. As a result, his status remains uncertain for the Vikings' upcoming contest against the New York Giants on Sunday in Week 16. […]
