The 16th Sunday of the 2023 NFL season has come and gone. Hopefully, you woke up on Monday morning feeling very good about how your matchup went. However, this week's slate of games was certainly stress-inducing for many fantasy football managers. Part of that stress was caused by a group of players who drastically underachieved […]

Jakobi Meyers Pedestrian In Week 16 Win

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers led the team in receptions and receiving yards in the win against the Kansas City Chiefs. Meyers reeled in three of his five targets for 42 yards. The Raiders offense generated almost nothing through the air, and Meyers accounted for 68% of the team's passing yardage in this […]

Aidan O'Connell Carried By Defense In Week 16

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell completed nine passes on 21 attempts (43%) for 62 yards in the Week 16 win against the Kansas City Chiefs. The rookie quarterback did next to nothing in this game and still came out of it with a win. O'Connell also rushed four times for -4 rushing yards and […]

Zamir White Dominates In Week 16

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White had 22 carries for 145 yards in the win against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday. White once again stepped into the Josh Jacobs role and was productive. The Raiders offense could not get much done through the air but the defense and run game won this contest. […]

Ronnie Bell Catches Second Touchdown In Loss

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ronnie Bell caught his only target for a 12-yard touchdown in Christmas night's 33-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The seventh-round pick caught his second career touchdown on a slot post from backup quarterback Sam Darnold. Bell was in line for increased snaps after usual third receiver Jauan Jennings […]

Deebo Samuel Frustrates in Week 16

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel couldn't get much going during his team's 33-19 home loss to the Baltimore Ravens. One of the hottest players in football coming in was targeted a team-high 12 times but could only produce four receptions for 47 yards, plus two carries for seven yards on the ground. Intensifying […]

Brandon Aiyuk Tops 100 yards In Week 16

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk caught six of seven targets for 113 yards in the team's Christmas night 33-19 home loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The man-coverage slayer was held to just one catch for 18 yards in the first half but became a main target late. With San Francisco attempting a three-score […]

George Kittle Leads Team In Receiving On Christmas

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught seven of 10 targets for 126 yards receiving in the team's 33-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas night. Both the reception total and yardage were both team-highs. It was a welcome time for the former Hawkeye to churn out his second-highest yardage total of the […]

Christian McCaffrey Productive In Primetime Loss

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey turned in another quality fantasy performance in the team's 33-19 Christmas night loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The former Stanford star took 14 carries for 103 yards and a touchdown on the ground accompanied by six receptions of 10 targets for 28 yards. McCaffrey left some meat on […]

Sam Darnold Throws Touchdown As Replacement

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Sam Darnold finished the team's 33-19 Christmas night loss to the Baltimore Ravens after starter Brock Purdy (stinger) left the game with 8:02 remaining in the fourth quarter. The former first-round pick looked competent considering the situation. Forced into a desperate hurry-up offense while facing a three-score deficit and his offensive […]

Jets vs. Browns TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, Joe Flacco, Jerome Ford, Amari Cooper, Elijah Moore, David Njoku

What was originally conceived as a Deshaun Watson vs. Aaron Rodgers matchup for two playoff-caliber teams will look wildly different for Thursday Night Football in Week 17. Instead, our fantasy football championship week will start with a Joe Flacco revenge game as the New York Jets visit the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland will be in the […]

Kyle Hamilton Doubtful To Return With Knee Injury

Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (knee) exited during the second half of Monday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. He is officially doubtful to return. The initial fear is that Hamilton suffered a severe injury, but the team will conduct a series of tests before announcing any sort of diagnosis. At the time of his departure, […]

Brock Purdy Questionable To Return With Stinger

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (stinger) exited during the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Baltimore Ravens and is officially questionable to return. The MVP candidate was taken to the blue medical tent and replaced by Sam Darnold. Late in the quarter, Purdy emerged from the tent but remained on the sideline with […]

Trent Williams Questionable To Return In Week 16

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams (groin) is questionable to return against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. He departed during the third quarter and was seen testing his injury on the sideline. Williams did put his helmet on and went to sit with the offense, so it appears that he could return if […]

Darren Waller Nearly Shut Out By Philadelphia Defense

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller caught two passes for 32 yards in the team's 33-25 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran dropped a slant in the first quarter which had the chance to find paydirt. He was also underthrown in the fourth quarter when he seemingly had a clear path to the […]

Darius Slayton Catches Long Touchdown Versus Philadelphia

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton took advantage of a soft Philadelphia secondary en route to three catches for 90 yards and a touchdown. The veteran only saw three targets on the day from the combination of Tommy Devito and Tyrod Taylor. The highlight came on a 69-yard pitch and catch from Taylor in […]

Saquon Barkley Turns 26 Touches Into Productive Evening

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley took advantage of 26 touches to produce for fantasy managers in the team's 33-25 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Barkley wasn't efficient, taking his 23 carries for just 80 yards and four receiving yards on three catches. He did boost his scoring with a touchdown and added a […]

Tyrod Taylor Throws Long Touchdown, Interception In Relief Duty

New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor stepped in for Tommy Devito halfway through the team's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, sparking what had been an inept offense in the first half. A lot of the offense consisted of handing off to running back Saquon Barkley, but Taylor did connect with Darius Slayton for a 69-yard […]

Tommy DeVito Benched Against Philadelphia

New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito endured a regrettable first half in Monday's matchup versus the Philadelphia Eagles and was not given the chance to redeem himself. The Giants' coaching staff opted to turn to veteran Tyrod Taylor. DeVito finished the game with nine completions for 55 yards and no touchdowns. He also added one […]

Dustin Hopkins Estimated As Non-Participant Monday

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins (left hamstring) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday. While they didn't hold an official practice, the Browns evidently have some level of concern regarding the veteran kicker's status leading up to Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets. Hopkins initially suffered his injury while trying to make a […]

Kareem Hunt Estimated As Non-Participant Monday

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (groin) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday. Although they did not have an official practice, the Browns evidently have some level of concern about Hunt's status leading up to Thursday Night Football versus the New York Jets. The 28-year-old played 38 percent of offensive snaps behind Jerome Ford […]

Greg Zuerlein Estimated As Limited Participant Monday

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein (right quad) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday. With the Jets in the midst of a short week, any sort of injury is worth monitoring. However, the fact that the Jets marked him as limited rather than a non-participant suggests he has a good chance to play […]

Israel Abanikanda Estimated As Limited Participant Monday

New York Jets running back Israel Abanikanda (ankle) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday. The rookie also appeared on the injury report in preparation for Week 16 but was able to play, which is a solid indicator that he'll suit up against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night. With the Jets out of […]

Zach Wilson Estimated As Non-Participant Monday

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (concussion) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday. He initially suffered the injury back in Week 15 and missed the Jets' game this past Sunday. With New York in the midst of a short week, Wilson would need to clear concussion protocol rather quickly in order to play on […]

Aaron Rodgers Estimated As Non-Participant Monday

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) was estimated as a non-participant for Monday's practice. The 40-year-old isn't expected to play again this season after tearing his Achilles back in Week 1, though it's at least worth noting that he did log a limited practice last Friday. With the Jets out of playoff contention and […]

Jeremy Ruckert Won't Play In Week 17

New York Jets tight end Jeremy Ruckert (concussion) missed practice on Monday and will not play against the Cleveland Browns in Week 17, head coach Robert Saleh told the media. With the Jets heading into a short week, it simply would not be feasible to expect Ruckert to clear concussion protocol in time for kickoff. […]
