Patriots Defense A Fringe Option For Week 16

The New England Patriots' defense is a fringe top-12 option heading into Sunday Night Football versus the Denver Broncos.

Meanwhile, the rushing and receiving […]

Mike Gesicki An Unknown Commodity Ahead Of Spot Start

New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki is purely a speculative option for fantasy football in Week 16 against the Denver Broncos.

Josh Jacobs Listed As Questionable For Week 16

The […]

Demario Douglas An Unappealing Option For Week 16

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas lacks fantasy appeal heading into Week 16 against the Denver Broncos. While there was a stretch of games near the middle of the season where he was quite effective, he underwhelmed in last weekend's return from a multi-game absence caused by a concussion. The rookie mustered just three […]

Trenton Irwin Has Four Catches On Saturday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Trenton Irwin caught all four targets for 37 yards during Saturday's loss to the Steelers.

Tyler Boyd Has Five Grabs In Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd caught five of seven targets for 59 yards during the Week 16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In all fairness, the Steelers defense had one of its best games of […]

Bailey Zappe Tough To Trust Versus Denver

New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe is difficult to trust in most fantasy leagues ahead of Week 16 versus the Denver Broncos. Although the Broncos surrendered five passing touchdowns last week, that was against Jared Goff.

Terry McLaurin - Week 16 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 10 and 12-team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 with limited upside ANALYSIS: It feels weird calling Tery McLaurin a WR3 with limited upside. But that's where we are in Week 16.
