Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton (knee) is currently considered a game-time decision for Sunday's Week 16 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Bears DST Can Be Avoided In Week 16

Cole Kmet A Risky Start At TE In Week 16

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet has been quite inconsistent this season and may struggle to find some room to operate in Week 16 against the Detroit Lions.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze has found himself a solid role in the Chicago Bears offense with 47 catches for 624 yards and three touchdowns over 14 games this season.

D.J. Moore A Low-End WR2 Option In Week 16

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore has been an up-and-down play this season for fantasy purposes and has an opportunity to get momentum going again in Week 16 against a banged-up Detroit Lions team. The 27-year-old receiver is on pace to match his target total (136) from last season and has 76 catches for 758 […]

Jonathan Allen Ruled Out For Week 16

According to Nicki Jhabvala, the Washington Commanders have ruled out defensive tackle Jonathan Allen (pectoral) for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Caleb Williams A Solid Superflex/2QB League Option In Week 16

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has struggled to be fantasy-relevant throughout this season and faces an uphill battle in Week 16 against the Detroit Lions.

Antoine Winfield Jr. Ruled Out For Week 16

According to Greg Auman of FOX Sports, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have ruled out safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (knee) for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Ravens Downgrade Nelson Agholor To Out On Saturday

The Baltimore Ravens downgraded wide receiver Nelson Agholor (concussion) to out for the Week 16 contest on Saturday against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers due to his concussion.
