Panthers Defense Not On The Fantasy Radar In Week 16

The Carolina Panthers defense/special teams had a disappointing showing last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers and will face a more difficult opponent in the Detroit Lions in Week 16. With the Lions scoring over 26 points per game, fifth-most in the NFL, it will be difficult to trust the Panthers' defense to slow them down. […]

Cole Kmet Could Struggle In Week 16

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet will need a touchdown to post a solid fantasy number in Week 16 against the Bills. Kmet does have 25 receptions over his last six games (4.16 per game) but has failed to post 30 or more receiving yards in three of his last four played. His Week 16 […]

Nico Collins Done For The Season

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (foot) has been placed on Injured Reserve, effectively ending his second season in the NFL. Collins finishes his sophomore campaign with 37 receptions, 481 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns. In the context of the lifeless Houston Texans offense, it wasn't a horrible season, but there's obviously plenty of […]

Aaron Donald Ruled Out, Likely Done For The Year

The Los Angeles Rams ruled out defensive tackle Aaron Donald (ankle) for the Week 16 game against the Denver Broncos on Christmas Day on Sunday, according to head coach Sean McVay.

Should I Pickup and Start Deon Jackson in Week 16? Fantasy Football Outlook

In Week 15 against the Vikings, Colts starting running back Jonathan Taylor injured his ankle on his first touch of the game and did not return.

David Montgomery Carries RB2 Value In Week 16

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will face a Bills defense that is allowing the 11th fewest fantasy points to opposing runners heading into Week 16.

CeeDee Lamb Faces Tough Matchup Versus Eagles

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will match up with Darius Slay, James Bradberry, and the fierce Philadelphia Eagles' passing defense in Week 16. The Eagles have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season, but since Lamb is the No. 7 fantasy receiver at this point in the season, he remains a […]

Can Justin Fields Produce In Frigid Week 16 Temperatures?

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will have a tough matchup battling the elements and a stingy Bills defense in Week 16. Buffalo's defense is allowing the fifth fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season and only two passers have posted more than 18.5 fantasy points against them all year. Add to that wind-chill temperatures […]

Tony Pollard Remains A Must-Start Against Eagles

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard has scored the second-most fantasy points among running backs in all formats since Week 10 and remains a must-start against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16. The strength of the Eagles' defense is its pass rush and secondary, so Dallas could lean on the run more than ever in […]

Dak Prescott Draws Tough Matchup In Week 16

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is set to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16, a team that has allowed the second-fewest fantasy point to quarterbacks through 15 weeks of the season.

Chris Streveler Totals 114 Yards Versus Jaguars

New York Jets quarterback Chris Streveler came in the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night in relief for a struggling Zach Wilson in the second half.

Elijah Moore Posts 15 Yards In Loss

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore caught two of his three targets for 15 yards in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football in Week 16. Moore, Garrett Wilson, and Corey Davis all have capped ceilings with Zach Wilson or Chris Streveler at quarterback, but Mike White (ribs) could return in […]

Corey Davis Hauls In Just Two Of Seven Targets

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis caught just two passes for 14 yards on seven targets in the Week 16 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football. Davis missed the Week 15 game against the Detroit Lions with a concussion, but he failed to produce anything in his return to the lineup. […]

Garrett Wilson Totals 30 Yards On Nine Targets

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught just four of his nine targets for 30 yards in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football in Week 16. The quarterback duo of Zach Wilson and Chris Streveler is far from ideal for the stud rookie wide receiver, so his ceiling is capped […]

Hayden Hurst Won't Play In Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Hayden Hurst (calf) has been downgraded to out against the New England Patriots in Week 16. Hurst has missed the last two games against the Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will miss his third straight on Saturday. In his absence, tight end Mitchell Wilcox has caught just four of […]

Tyler Conklin Catches Four Passes In Loss To Jaguars

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin caught all four of his targets for 34 yards in the Thursday night loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Noah Fant, Marquise Goodwin Expected To Play

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) and wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (ankle, wrist), who are both listed as questionable for Week 16, are expected to play on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to head coach Pete Carroll. With Tyler Lockett (finger) out, Goodwin will elevate to the No. 2 receiver behind DK […]

Cardinals, Kliff Kingsbury Headed For A Breakup?

There is a very real possibility that Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who has a 28-34-1 record as a head coach in the NFL without a playoff win, will be fired by owner Michael Bidwell. However, multiple team sources see a path where Bidwell gives Kingsbury another year. Kingsbury's relationships with Bidwell, general manager […]

Dawuane Smoot Feared To Have Torn His Achilles

Jacksonville Jaguars standout defensive lineman Dawuane Smoot (Achilles) is feared to have torn his Achilles in the Thursday night win over the New York Jets, according to a source. Smoot has been one of the team's best defensive linemen this year, so losing him for the rest of the season would be a big blow […]

Browns Give Jack Conklin A Four-Year Extension

The Cleveland Browns and right tackle Jack Conklin agreed to a four-year, $60 million contract extension on Friday that includes $31 million fully guaranteed, according to his agents. Christmas came a little early for Conklin this year. The 28-year-old offensive lineman is now tied to the Browns through the 2026 season. He missed the first […]

Elgton Jenkins Receives Massive Four-Year Deal

The Green Bay Packers and star offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $68 million in base value with a maximum value of $74 million on Friday, according to sources. The deal makes Jenkins the second-highest paid guard in the NFL. He was in the final year of his rookie deal […]

Taysom Hill Could Be Heavily Utilized Against Browns

New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill could end up playing more than Andy Dalton in the Week 16 game against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday if the weather is as bad as its forecasted to be. It's expected to be extremely cold with high winds, which will make it difficult for both teams to […]

Should I Start The Chiefs DST in Week 16? Fantasy Football Team Defenses

The DST position is one of the trickier propositions in fantasy football, but can sometimes be the difference between wins and losses. As we head into Week 16 of the NFL season, many fantasy managers are left searching for viable streaming options at the DST spot for fantasy playoffs. The Chiefs' defense has struggled over […]

Is Kenny Pickett Or Mitchell Trubisky Starting In Week 16 Fantasy Football?

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks Kenny Pickett and Mitchell Trubisky have each started at least four games this season, and in Week 15, it was Trubisky who started or an injured Pickett.
