Julio Jones Remains Out Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Jones received a platelet-rich plasma injection and wants to play again in 2020, but there's no guarantee that happens. Unless he can get in a limited practice on Friday, the All-Pro receiver is likely to miss the Week 16 […]

Robby Anderson A Fringe WR2 In Week 16

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson has been a dependable option this year for fantasy managers, as he's compiled 85 catches on 119 targets for 1,017 yards and two scores this season. Anderson has thrived as a wideout in the intermediate routes, which could be a good matchup against Washington. They've allowed just 10.3 yards […]

Matthew Stafford, Matt Prater Questionable For Saturday

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib, thumb), kicker Matt Prater (back) and center Frank Ragnow (throat) are all questionable for Week 16 against the Buccaneers on Saturday. All three players were limited in practice on Friday. Stafford was limited all week and should continue to play through the pain. He hasn't missed a single start […]

Marvin Jones Jr. Carries WR2 Status In Week 16

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. will go up against a Buccaneers Defense that is allowing the 11th most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season. The veteran receiver is enjoying his best stretch of the season, racking up 40 receptions on 60 targets for 471 yards and three touchdowns over his last six […]

D.J. Moore A WR2 Against Washington

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore has been on a roll ahead of a tough matchup with Washington in Week 16. Moore has two 100-yard games in his last three and has exceeded 60 receiving yards in four straight contests. While Washington ranks in the top-10 in yards, touchdowns, and yards per receptions allowed to […]

Hunter Henry Placed On COVID-19 List

The Los Angeles Chargers placed tight end Hunter Henry on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday, so he will be forced to miss the Week 16 game against the division-rival Broncos. Henry saw more looks in last Thursday's win over the Raiders with both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams limited with injuries, and he finished with […]

Jason Pierre-Paul Misses Practice Friday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) did not practice on Friday but was not on the team's final Week 16 injury report against the Lions. Pierre-Paul should be active on Saturday against Detroit and has a good chance of bouncing back after not recording a single tackle or sack in the Week 15 […]

Mike Davis A Volume-Based RB2

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis faces a tough test in Week 16 against the Washington Football Team. Davis has handled 17.8 touches per game in his second stint as the starter- and with Christian McCaffrey (thigh) expected to sit again, the veteran back will be in the lead role once again. Washington has been […]

Davante Adams Hopes To Bounce Back Against Titans

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will try and bounce back from a disappointing fantasy performance last week when the team takes on the Titans in Week 16. Adams' streak of eight straight games with a touchdown was snapped last week as the star receiver posted only 42 receiving yards. He certainly has the […]

Teddy Bridgewater Off The Streaming Radar In Week 16

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater faces a difficult matchup in Week 16 against the Washington Football Team. Bridgewater has failed to throw a touchdown pass in each of his last two games, though he's salvaged some value by finding the end zone with his legs four times in the last five contests. Still, Washington has […]

Robert Tonyan Takes Touchdown Streak Into Week 16

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan will attempt to extend his touchdown streak to six games when the team takes on the Titans in Week 16. Tonyan has posted only 204 receiving yards over his last five games but continues to cash in when the team is in the red zone. Tonyan now has […]

Aaron Jones Ready To Rumble Against Titans

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will go up against a Titans Defense in Week 16 that is allowing the seventh most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. Jones is finishing up the season strong, averaging 108.5 rushing yards with two touchdowns over his last four games. The Titans have allowed 12 […]

Aaron Rodgers Has Fantastic Week 16 Matchup

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is playing some of the best football of his career heading into the team's Week 16 matchup against the Titans. Rodgers owns a sparkling 118 QB rating with 40 touchdowns to only four interceptions on the season. The veteran will face a Titans Defense this weekend that is allowing […]

Cardinals Talks With Yadier Molina Have Slowed

The St. Louis Cardinals would like to keep "legacy players" in catcher Yadier Molina and starting pitcher Adam Wainwright, but talks with both franchise icons have screeched to a halt lately. Molina is seeking a two-year deal and it's still likely that the Cardinals can bridge the current gap to re-sign the future Hall of […]

Nationals Trade For Josh Bell

The Washington Nationals acquired first baseman Josh Bell from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday in exchange for young pitchers Wil Crowe and Eddy Yean. Bell set career highs in almost every category when he made his first All-Star team in 2019 by hitting .277 with 37 home runs and 116 RBI, but he regressed in […]

Phillip Lindsay, Bradley Chubb Miss Another Practice

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (hip) and defensive end Bradley Chubb (ankle) are sitting out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Lindsay will be a game-time decision in Week 16 against the Chargers. He's been bothered by injuries for much of the year, and his performance has suffered in the second […]

Jordan Akins A Risky Streaming Option

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins has been an inconsistent fantasy option this season. He has compiled over 50 receiving yards in just three of 11 games this season, showing how risky it's been to trust him in fantasy lineups. However, Akins is coming off a solid 5-50-0 line against the Colts and gets a […]

Kyle Rudolph, Alexander Mattison, Eric Kendricks Ruled Out

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (foot), running back Alexander Mattison (concussion) and linebacker Eric Kendricks (calf) have been ruled out for Friday's Christmas Day game against the Saints. Rudolph will miss his third straight game. Irv Smith Jr. has seven catches for 100 yards and one touchdown in the last two games with Rudolph […]

Carlton Davis To Be A Game-Time Decision

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that cornerback Carlton Davis (groin) will be a game-time decision for Week 16 against the Lions on Saturday. Davis, a third-year starter, hasn't practiced this week after leaving the Week 15 game early with a groin injury. The 23-year-old is on the wrong side of questionable for […]

Chad Hansen A Low-End Flex Option

Houston Texans wide receiver Chad Hansen faces a beatable Bengals' pass defense in Week 16. Hansen has exceeded 50 receiving yards in each of his three games as a starter, including a 100-yard effort in his first game against the Colts. Quarterback Deshaun Watson clearly trusts him, as evidenced by the 17 targets he's seen […]

Broncos Defense Facing Chargers For Second Time

The Denver Broncos and their 21st-ranked defense will square off against the division-rival Chargers and their seventh-ranked offense under impressive rookie quarterback Justin Herbert for the second time in 2020 in Week 16. Denver allowed 30 points in the Week 8 last-second victory. Herbert went 29-for-43 for 278 yards passing, three touchdowns and two interceptions. […]

Brandon McManus To Return Against Chargers

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday and will be available to kick in Week 16 against the Chargers after sitting out the Week 15 loss to the Bills. Taylor Russolino, who filled in for McManus last week, will head back to the practice squad. McManus made all four […]

Keke Coutee In The WR3 Range In Week 16

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee has been a solid starting option for fantasy purposes since being thrust into the lineup after Will Fuller V's suspension. Coutee has averaged 6.3 targets, 5.3 receptions, and 72.7 receiving yards per game in three contests. The 23-year-old has also found the end zone twice in that span, making […]

Noah Fant On The Rise Entering Week 16

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant had his best game of the season in Week 15 against the Bills, securing eight of a season-high 11 targets for 68 yards and his third touchdown of the year. The matchup against the Chargers this weekend isn't as promising, although they have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to […]

Brandin Cooks A High-Floor Option Against Cincinnati

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks has shown remarkable consistency as a fantasy option this season. Cooks has recorded at least 50 receiving yards in nine of 13 games this season, though he has just one 100-plus yard game. This makes him more of a high-floor WR2 ahead of the matchup with the Bengals' 20th-ranked […]

Antonio Gibson Has A Chance To Play

Washington Football Team rookie running back Antonio Gibson (toe) went through individual drills for the second day in a row on Thursday and has a chance to play in Week 16 against the Panthers. The 22-year-old has missed the last two games while dealing with a painful case of turf toe, but he could be […]

Alex Smith Trending In The Wrong Direction?

The sense from the Washington Football Team this week has been that it would be challenging for quarterback Alex Smith (calf) to return from his calf injury in Week 16 against the Panthers. As of Thursday, Dwayne Haskins Jr. is taking the starting repetitions at practice and is tracking to start on Sunday against Carolina. […]

David Johnson A Fringe RB1 Against Bengals

Houston Texans running back David Johnson has a favorable matchup against the Bengals in Week 16. Johnson is coming off of his best game as a Texan, one that saw him turn 19 touches into 133 scrimmage yards, 106 of which were receiving yards. Pass-catching specialist Duke Johnson (neck) was unable to practice Wednesday, meaning […]

K.J. Hamler Shouldn't Be Owned In Single-Year Formats

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler broke out for 86 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 14 win over the Panthers. But he had just two catches on three targets, proving to be an outlier, especially after he caught just one of four targets last Saturday against the Bills for four yards. Hamler […]

Jerry Jeudy Trying To Break Out Of Slump

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy appears to have hit the proverbial rookie wall. He hasn't had more than three catches in a game since Week 10 against the Raiders and had only one reception on five targets for 19 yards in last week's loss to Buffalo. But he'll get a Chargers Defense in Week […]
