Mike Evans Ruled Out For Week 16

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) has been deemed unavailable for Sunday's contest against Carolina as he battles a hamstring injury that he sustained last week. The absence of Evans marks the second Bucs wideout to be ruled out for Week 16, joining Chris Godwin (knee), who will miss the remainder of the […]

Emmanuel Sanders - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) is hopeful to play in the Week 16 matchup against the New England Patriots. The organization is optimistic they will have their veteran wideout back after missing Week 15. They could certainly use the help with both Cole Beasley and Gabriel Davis sidelined due to protocols. Superstar wide […]

WR/CB Matchups to Target and Downgrade - Week 16

Welcome to Week 16 of the WR/CB Matchup chart. Congratulations to everyone who advanced in the fantasy playoffs. It's been a crazy few weeks in terms of news, so keep in mind that your biggest edge will always be making roster moves based on what's happening. Usually that means using roster spots on speculative starting […]

Ian Thomas - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas should remain on benches in Week 16 against the Bucs. The Panthers haven't utilized their TE position at all this season, and Thomas has a single reception for five yards on six targets in the last three games. His role is way too small to merit any sort of […]

DJ Moore Earns Questionable Designation For Sunday’s Game

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore (hamstring) has been tagged as questionable to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers. It sounds as if head coach Matt Rhule and the Panthers are going to take Moore's availability right up to kickoff, with the team previously indicating it would be a late determination due to […]

Robby Anderson - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson is a deep-league flex play, at best, in Week 16 against Tampa. The WR broke out a couple of weeks ago for a season-high 84 yards but returned to his regular form last week and posted three receptions for 29 yards on eight targets. Anderson hasn't been reliable all […]

Stefon Diggs - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs has scored a touchdown in six of his last nine games. Fantasy managers will certainly take the scores, but the yardage has been inconsistent. Despite that, Diggs should get more chances with Gabriel Davis and Cole Beasley both sidelined for Week 16. Quarterback Josh Allen has a special connection […]

Chase Edmonds - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds made his return from IR in Week 15, but only managed six carries and one target in a loss to the Detroit Lions. Edmonds has shared backfield duties with James Conner all season when healthy and with Conner confident that he will take the field in Week 16 the […]

Chuba Hubbard - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is a flex play, at best, in Week 16 against Tampa. The rookie running back hasn't rushed for more than 40 yards in any of the past five contests despite being the workhorse RB with Christian McCaffrey out for the rest of the season. The 22-year-old will face off […]

Blake Bortles Joins Saints, Will Serve As Backup QB

Veteran quarterback Blake Bortles has signed a deal with the New Orleans Saints, making him the backup quarterback for Monday's game against Miami. The New Orleans quarterback room was thrown into flux earlier in the week when Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian landed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, which has paved the way for Ian Book […]

Matt Breida - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills running back Matt Breida has barely been involved in the rushing attack lately. In fact, he has only one rushing attempt in two of his last three games. Normally, the Bills use Breida in the receiving game, but they haven't been able to lately. That being said, it's hard to imagine Breida having […]

Cam Newton - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is a risky play against Tampa in Week 16. Newton has been struggling since returning to Carolina, losing all four of his starts while throwing for 189 yards or less in those four contests. He also has three touchdowns to four picks in those four games. The QB's rushing abilities […]

Devin Singletary - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary is coming off his best rushing performance of the season. He rushed the ball a season-high 22 times for 86 yards and one touchdown last week. It certainly seems that the Bills trust Singletary much more than they did earlier in the season. Second-year back Zack Moss is normally […]

Tyler Higbee, Jordan Fuller Rejoin Rams, Set To Play Sunday

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee and safety Jordan Fuller have been activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list and are on track to play in Sunday's game against Minnesota. When healthy, Higbee has been a frequent target of Matthew Stafford, having averaged nearly seven targets per contest over his last four outings. Still primarily a […]

Kyler Murray - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and the rest of the team are coming off a game that they would rather put behind them. In a stunning loss to the Detroit Lions, Murray had his second-worst fantasy performance of the season. The matchup in Week 16 won't help, with the Indianapolis Colts coming to town. The […]

Josh Allen - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is coming off a three-touchdown performance against the Carolina Panthers last week. He has thrown six touchdowns over his last three games, but the yardage hasn't always been there. He has 210 passing yards or less in two of his last three games. Luckily, Allen is able to do damage […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Lands On COVID-19 List

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. and offensive lineman Ben Bartch have been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list as of Friday. Shenault had been dealing with foot and shoulder ailments that held him to a limited practice session Thursday, but the latest development stems his quest to corral his first receiving touchdown of the […]

Justin Jefferson - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson figures to be a busy man once again in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. Currently the WR4 in PPR leagues, Jefferson has averaged 13 targets per game and has scored in each of the last three games with teammate Adam Thielen nursing an ankle injury. With another […]

Jared Goff Likely To Miss Week 16 Against Atlanta

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is not expected to take the field for Sunday's game vs. the Falcons, head coach Dan Campbell revealed Friday. Goff landed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list earlier in the week, a move that paved the way for either Tim Boyle to prepare for his second start of the season or David Blough […]

Josh Allen Lands On COVID-19 List, Will Miss Week 16

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker/defensive end Josh  Allen has tested positive for COVID-19, which will rule him out for Sunday's matchup vs. the Jets since he isn't vaccinated. The Jaguars defense was not likely on many fantasy radars entering Week 16, but the group losing one of its most impactful players deals a rough blow to any […]

Gabriel Davis Lands On COVID-19 List

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis and right guard Cody Ford have been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. The new additions put the Bills offensive line in a difficult spot ahead of Sunday's matchup with New England, as three starters (Ford, Dion Dawkins, Jon Feliciano) are currently sidelined. Out wide, Davis joins Cole Beasley on the […]

NFL DFS Value Plays (Cash Games) for Week 16 on FanDuel and DraftKings

Week 15 of the NFL season is in the books, and what a week it was. First, we saw an outstanding game between the Chiefs and Chargers on Thursday night, and it was tough for a COVID-filled NFL to match such a fantastic game. Next, the Patriots and Colts tried to match the Thursday night […]

Geoff Swaim Catches Three Passes In Thursday's Win

Tennessee Titans tight end Geoff Swaim caught all three of his targets for 10 yards in Thursday's 20-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers. The 28-year-old out-snapped fellow tight ends MyCole Pruitt (25) and Anthony Firkser (16) with 36 snaps. He's now caught at least three passes in two of his last three games. Despite […]

Robbie Gould Converts 48-Yard Field Goal In Week 16 Loss

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould converted his lone 48-yard field goal and extra-point attempts during a 20-17 Week 16 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Gould, a 39-year old veteran, has been excellent for the 49ers since returning from IR in Week 9, missing only two of 13 field goal attempts, with both missed attempts […]
