Russell Gage A Flex Option In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is a flex play this week. Gage has had an elevated role recently with Julio Jones not being able to play due to a hamstring injury. The WR has seen at least five targets in the last six games and has hauled in at least 51 yards in four […]

Antonio Gibson Questionable For Sunday

Washington Football Team rookie running back Antonio Gibson (toe) logged his third straight limited practice on Friday and is questionable to suit up against the Panthers. Gibson hasn't played since going down with a turf-toe injury in Week 13. Washington will also be without top wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle), while quarterback Alex Smith (calf) is also listed as […]

Philadelphia Activates DeSean Jackson

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (ankle) has been activated from Injured Reserve and will return to the field for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys. Jackson has played just once since Week 3, having logged 13 receptions for 155 yards across his four contests in 2020. His addition to the passing game gives rookie quarterback Jalen […]

Calvin Ridley A WR1 For Week 16

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a WR1 for Week 16 against Kansas City. Ridley is the unquestioned WR1 on the team with Julio Jones out once again due to a hamstring injury. The WR has been incredible the past three games, getting at least 10 targets and 108 yards in all three contests. […]

Terry McLaurin Listed As Doubtful

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Week 16 against the Panthers. McLaurin did not practice all week and likely won't be able to help fantasy managers win a championship this week. It's really bad timing, as McLaurin has become a must-start fantasy wideout in his second season. His […]

Derek Carr A Low-End QB2 Versus Dolphins

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr does not carry an injury designation heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Dolphins, so all signs point to him being the starter. Carr has been playing well this season, but he probably is not the best fantasy option against a stingy Dolphins Defense. The Dolphins defense has […]

Todd Gurley II Not A Viable Starter

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II has now become the RB2 on the team for the last two games after Ito Smith was assigned the lead role. In the past few games, Gurley hasn't performed well at all. He has had less than 10 carries and 30 rushing yards in the past four games, […]

Ito Smith A Flex Option In Deep Leagues

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith is a flex play, at best, this week. The back has now taken the lead role for the remainder of the season, jumping above Todd Gurley II. Smith has had double-digit carries in two of the past four games and at least 36 yards rushing in three of the […]

New York Tabs Daniel Jones As Starter For Week 16

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) has been given the green light to play in Sunday's contest against the Ravens. Jones re-enters the starting lineup after seeing Colt McCoy hold down starter's duties in two of the previous three games. It sounds as if Jones is far from 100 percent, but his practice […]

Alex Smith Trending Towards Playing Despite Questionable Tag

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) was listed as questionable on the team's final injury report, but was able to participate in practice on Friday and is trending towards suiting up against Carolina. Smith missed last week's loss with a calf injury but was playing well before that leading the team to four-straight victories […]

Matt Ryan A QB2 In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is a QB2 this week against the Chiefs. Last week, the QB posted 356 yards and three touchdowns and has at least 220 yards passing in the last three games. This contest with the Chiefs could be a shootout, so Ryan is a fine QB2 against a team that is […]

Jared Cook Has Season-High 82 Yards

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook recorded three receptions for a season-high 82 yards on four targets in Week 16. With Michael Thomas out for the regular season, Cook saw a lot more looks in the contest. Overall, the TE has now seen at least four targets in the past four games. The Panthers […]

Emmanuel Sanders Gets 83 Yards

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders finished with four receptions for 83 yards on five targets in Friday's win over the Vikings. Sanders has now had at least four receptions and 48 yards in three of the past four games along with at least five targets in the past four games. With Michael Thomas […]

Latavius Murray Rushes For 72 Yards

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray had 12 carries for 72 yards and three receptions for 24 yards on three targets in Friday's win over Minnesota. After a three-game stretch with single-digit carries and less than 20 rushing yards, Murray was productive once again. Overall, the back has had a generally decent role this […]

Alvin Kamara Records Six Touchdowns

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara had a truly monster game on Friday, getting 22 carries for 155 yards and six touchdowns along with three receptions for 17 yards on five targets. It was the most impressive performance of the RB's career as he single-handedly carried this offense in the game. Due to his […]

Drew Brees Throws For 311 Yards

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees went 19-for-26 for 311 yards and two picks in Friday's win over the Vikings. In two games since returning from injury, Brees has tossed for at least 234 yards in both contests but it's also worth noting he has three interceptions as well in that span. In the season […]

Lynn Bowden Jr. A Possible PPR Option

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. has seen a bigger role in the offense over the last few weeks. The Dolphins have been banged up on offense, which has forced Bowden to be more involved. He hauled in six of his seven targets for 37 yards in the win over the New England Patriots […]

Mike Gesicki A High-End TE2 Versus Raiders

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) is listed as questionable for the Week 16 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. He is expected to suit up after getting through a bunch of limited practices this week. The Raiders defense is fairly average at covering tight ends, but the fact Gesicki is banged up should […]

Jakeem Grant Sr. A Passable WR4

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. (hamstring) is listed as questionable heading into the Week 16 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. His value is dependent on the status of both DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Mike Gesicki (shoulder) who are currently listed as questionable. The Raiders secondary is fairly weak, so Grant should hold […]

DeVante Parker Has WR3 Value In Week 16

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) is listed as questionable for the Week 16 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. He's expected to suit up here after getting in limited practices this week. However, fantasy managers will likely have to wait until later on Saturday before getting a better idea of his status. The […]

Matt Breida Expected To Have Reduced Role

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida saw a season-high 12 carries in the win over the New England Patriots last week. However, he'll likely see a reduced role going forward with Myles Gaskin expected to return for Week 16. Breida will see little to no action on the field with both Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed […]

Adam Thielen Picks Up Late Touchdown

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught a team-high eight passes for 97 yards and one touchdown in the Vikings 52-33 loss to the Saints on Christmas Day. It was, by and large, a quiet effort for Thielen and the Vikings passing game but some fourth quarter, garbage-time drives salvaged the veteran receiver's fantasy day. […]

Dalvin Cook Delivers 17th Total Touchdown In Loss

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook carried the ball 15 times for 73 yards with one touchdown in the Vikings 52-33 loss to the Saints on Christmas Day. Cook was running fast and free early in this game, punching in his 16th rushing touchdown of the season in the first quarter with a 15-yard burst. […]

Irv Smith Jr. Gifts Two Touchdowns To Fantasy Teams

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. caught six passes for 53 yards, including two touchdowns, in the Vikings 52-33 loss to the Saints on Christmas Day. Smith was quarterback Kirk Cousin's 'Rudolph' in the red zone, guiding the veteran to find the tight end for two short-yardage scores. The second-year tight end now has […]

Kirk Cousins Posts Excellent Line In Defeat

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 26-of-39 passes for 283 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions in the Vikings 52-33 loss to the Saints on Christmas Day. The Vikings will not be heading to the playoffs but Cousins has now thrown for over 30 touchdowns in a season for the second time in his career. […]

Justin Jefferson Limps Off Field In Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught six passes for 85 yards but left the field on the final drive in the Vikings 52-33 loss to the Saints in Week 16. Jefferson was holding his foot in pain and limped off the field after a 3rd-and-10 and did not return for the final few plays. […]

Salvon Ahmed A Shaky Option Versus Raiders

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed looked fantastic as the lead back last week. He rushed 23 times for 122 yards and one touchdown in the win. However, his fantasy value is likely going to take a significant hit with Myles Gaskin returning for the Week 16 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. It's assumed […]

Myles Gaskin Should Carry RB2 Value

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin was been activated off the reserve list and will suit up against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16. Gaskin has been solid when he plays, but has missed six of the last seven games. It's assumed that Gaskin will return as the lead back here, but Salvon Ahmed […]

Tua Tagovailoa A Possible Streaming Choice

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa came back down to Earth last week, but managed the game well enough to pull off the victory. However, Tagovailoa should have more fantasy value versus the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16. A defense that has allowed multiple touchdown passes in five straight games. Although, it should be noted […]

James Robinson Questionable Against Bears

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back James Robinson (ankle) missed practice for the third straight day on Friday and is listed as questionable for Week 16 against the Bears. Robinson was rested in practice this week but said he wants to play on Sunday. The impressive rookie was already nicked up before the Week 15 blowout […]
