Terry McLaurin Has Solid PPR Day

Washington Redskins wide receiver Terry McLaurin was targeted nine times in Sunday's game against the Giants. He caught seven of them for 86 yards, but was held out of the endzone in a game that otherwise featured a ton of scoring. McLaurin remains the primary receiving option in this offense, and that is not influenced […]

Saints Defense Tallies Five Sacks Against Titans

The New Orleans Saints Defense posted five sacks and a fumble recovery in a 38-28 win over the Tennessee Titans. It hurt them that they allowed 28 points, though they were able to pressure one of the league's worst pass-blocking units. Demario Davis, Cameron Jordan, A.J. Klein, and Shy Tuttle all picked up a sack […]

Kareem Hunt Catches Four Passes in Week 16

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt caught four passes for 33 yards in a 31-15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. Hunt also received three carries but was held without a rushing yard in the loss. It was a quiet afternoon for Hunt, who was suspended the last time these two teams met […]

Matt Ryan Throws For 384 Yards In Win

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan went 32-for-45 passing for 384 yards, a touchdown, and two picks during the win over Jacksonville on Sunday. Though he only logged one scoring toss in this one, he was able to salvage the day by recording his second-highest yards total of the year. Ryan has been one of the […]

Nick Chubb Bottled Up in Week 16

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb carried the ball 15 times for 45 yards in a 31-15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16 while failing to haul in his lone target. Chubb struggled to get going against a Baltimore run defense that he torched for three touchdowns when these teams met back in […]

Steven Sims Jr. Scores Twice In Overtime Shootout

Washington Redskins wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. hauled in six of a team-high 10 targets in Sunday's loss to the Giants. Two of Sims' six receptions went for touchdowns, and he caught one from each of the two quarterbacks the Redskins utilized on Sunday. Sims is becoming difficult to ignore after catching 11 of 21 […]

Baker Mayfield Throws Two TDs in Week 16

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 20 of 33 passes for 192 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a 31-15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. While Mayfield's final stat line is passable, he came close to throwing two other interceptions with one getting nullified by a defensive penalty and the other […]

Wil Lutz Makes One Field Goal And Five Extra Points

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz made one field goal and five extra points in a 38-28 win over the Tennessee Titans. Lutz had made at least two field goals in his previous six games, only to make on against Tennessee. He made up for it with a season-high five extra points in a busy […]

Darius Slayton Leaves Game Early With Knee Injury

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton finished Sunday with zero catches after leaving early with a knee injury. The rookie wide receiver tried to play through it but just wasn't able to. The Auburn product emerged as a verifiable starting receiver in the NFL, so the Giants may be cautious with him in a […]

Adrian Peterson Bailed Out By Late Touchdown

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson turned in his least-lucrative fantasy outing in several weeks on Sunday, accumulating just 36 rushing yards on 15 carries. Luckily, Peterson found the end zone in the fourth quarter to keep from totally torpedoing the championship hopes of his fantasy owners. Week 16 marked Peterson's fourth straight game with […]

Cody Latimer Resurfaces For Giants

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer came back from the sidelines on Sunday after Darius Slayton left the game early with an injury. Latimer seemed to be a focal point for Daniel Jones on a few drives, finishing with five catches for 44 yards and a touchdown. If Slayton is forced to miss next […]

Curtis Samuel Doesn't Do Much In Loss To Colts

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel logged just two catches for 17 yards during the loss to the Colts on Sunday. With rookie quarterback Will Grier unable to get anything done by throwing three interceptions on the day, Samuel didn't produce, even with the exit of D.J. Moore, who was ruled out after suffering a […]

Sterling Shepard Finds End Zone Again

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard found his way to the end zone again on Sunday, finishing with six catches for 76 yards and the aforementioned touchdown. He's missed a few games with concussions, but Shepard has been a productive number one wide receiver for the Giants, dispelling any notion that he can't play […]

Golden Tate Leads Giants In Receiving On Sunday

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate paced the Giants' passing attack on Sunday, finishing with six catches on 11 targets for 96 yards. Tate has had an up and down first season with the Giants - filled with injuries and a suspension - but he has produced when he's on the field and is […]

Tre'Quan Smith Catches One Pass Against Titans

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith caught one of two targets for 13 yards in a 38-28 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Smith has scored four touchdowns but has only 13 catches for 178 yards on the season. The 23-year-old has been a fantasy bust. He'll finish up the regular season next week against […]

Greg Olsen Records Just Two Receptions In Loss

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen caught two of his five targets for 33 yards during the loss to the Colts in Week 16. Olsen wasn't able to do much as rookie quarterback Will Grier, who received his first start after taking over for Kyle Allen, threw three interceptions on the day. Olsen needs two […]

Kaden Smith Finds End Zone Twice

New York Giants tight end Kaden Smith caught six of his eight targets for 35 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner in overtime. Smith has benefited from late-season injuries to Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion). He doesn't figure to hold any future value for the Giants, but he could be a sneaky […]

Saquon Barkley Keeps Hot Streak Going

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley kept his hot streak going by destroying the Redskins on Sunday for 189 yards and a touchdown on the ground, plus four catches for 90 yards and a touchdown through the air. The second-year back finally looks healthy after an early season ankle injury, and he's teaming with […]

Christian McCaffrey Breaks Own Record

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey had 54 yards on 13 carries during the loss to Indianapolis on Sunday. He also logged 15 catches for 119 yards, breaking his single-season record of 107 that he had just a season ago. While rookie quarterback Will Grier struggled on the day by throwing three interceptions, McCaffrey was […]

Ted Ginn Fails To Catch Any Passes In Week 16

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn was targeted once but failed to haul in any passes in a 38-28 win over the Tennessee Titans. Ginn now has three games this year without a catch and 12 with under 50 receiving yards. The 34-year-old will finish up his season next week against the Carolina Panthers.

Daniel Jones Flames Redskins

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones returned from his ankle injury with fury on Sunday, torching the Redskins for 352 yards and five touchdowns in an overtime win. The rookie carved up the Washington secondary at will, completing passes to six different receivers and not committing any turnovers (although he did almost lose a fumble). […]

Case Keenum Plays Well In Relief Effort

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum was called on to fill in for the injured Dwayne Haskins in Sunday's overtime shootout against the Giants. The veteran completed 16 of 22 passes for 158 yards and a touchdown, adding a game-tying rushing touchdown in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter for good measure. Keenum's status as […]

Eagles Defense Does Well in Week 16 Win

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense played well in a 17-9 Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles allowed just three field goals in this one, also recovering a fumble. They could do even better next week in a critical win-and-in game against the New York Giants.

Jake Elliott Misses Two Field Goals in Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott missed two field goals on Sunday, but the Eagles were still able to win 17-9. Elliott made one field goal and two extra points, but the two misses clearly changed the play calling from the sidelines in the fourth quarter. The Eagles will rely on Elliott to make his kicks […]

Budda Baker With Nine Stops

Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker had nine total tackles (four solo) in the Week 16 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Baker stacks tackles, but he doesn't produce much anywhere else. He'll be a low-end DB1 option against the Los Angeles Rams next week.

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Leaves Early in Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside made two catches in Week 16, gaining 39 yards. He was forced to leave the game early due to a foot injury, but he was basically not heard from even when he was on the field after the first drive of the game. Arcega-Whiteside's fantasy value for Week […]

Chandler Jones Goes Off

Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones erupted for four sacks against the Seattle Seahawks Sunday afternoon. He also tallied six total tackles. Jones is a feast-or-famine linebacker because he relies heavily on sacks, and he definitely feasted Sunday. He'll be a low-end LB1 option next week against the Los Angeles Rams.

Will Grier Has An Uneventful Debut

Carolina Panthers quarterback Will Grier failed to throw a touchdown during the loss to the Colts on Sunday but had no issues turning the ball over, either, as he ended the day with three interceptions. The rookie also logged 224 yards and did so while completing just 61.4 percent of his passes. Hopes were high […]

Zane Gonzalez With A Solid Day

Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez was 2-for-3 in field goals with a long of 46 yards in Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks. He also nailed all three extra points. He'll be a low-end PK1 against the Los Angeles Rams next week.

Greg Ward Catches Four Passes in Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward caught four passes in Week 16, gaining 71 yards. He led the Eagles receivers in catches, targets, and yards, but "the Eagles receivers" aren't what they were a few weeks ago. Ward still makes for an interesting dart-throw fantasy play in a crucial Week 17 game against a milk […]
