Jarvis Landry Draws Tough Matchup in Week 16

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry draws a tough matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. Baltimore's pass defense ranks fourth in the league in DVOA and is allowing just the 17th-most fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position this year. Look for Landry to draw primary coverage from Baltimore slot corner […]

Darren Fells Remains Low-Floor Option

Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells's fantasy outlook for Week 16 remains where it's been for weeks: if he finds the end zone, he'll have a productive day, but otherwise he has a rock-bottom floor. Fells is coming off a one-catch, two-yard game against the Titans, which came on the heels of a two-catch, two-yard […]

Dwayne Haskins Not In Play For Week 16

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins has arguably the most favorable matchup of his young career on the docket in a home bout with the Giants this week. The Giants are the seventh-worst defense in the NFL in terms of passing yards allowed and touchdown rate on opposing pass attempts. Unfortunately, Haskins hasn't given fantasy owners […]

DeMar DeRozan Stymied Offensively During Win

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard/small forward DeMar DeRozan posted his second-lowest shooting percentage of the season in his team’s victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday, as he finished with 12 points for the second consecutive game on 4-for-14 shooting. DeRozan’s performance was far below expectation, especially against a Nets team that plays at a […]

Robby Anderson A Decent Play Despite Matchup

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson has been playing well after a disappointing start to the season and is a startable receiver this week despite a tough matchup with Minkah Fitzpatrick and the Steelers. Anderson has been playing with dollar signs in his eyes as the impending free agent has at least 66 yards […]

Kenny Stills Is Risky Week 16 Option

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills caught two touchdowns last week against the Tennessee Titans, but those came on just three total catches for 35 yards. It was the fourth game in a row where Stills received four or fewer targets, and while he has a juicy matchup in Week 16 against the Buccaneers, who've […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Records Double-Double During Victory

San Antonio Spurs power forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge collected his fourth double-double in his past five games during Thursday’s win over the Brooklyn Nets. Aldridge finished with 20 points, hitting the 20-point plateau for the first time in December. He also pitched in 10 boards, as he makes a December push to raise his rebounding numbers, […]

Patty Mills Drills Season-High Seven Triples Off Bench

San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Patty Mills needed just 26 minutes to compile 27 points as a reserve during Thursday’s win over the Brooklyn Nets. He shot 8-for-14 from the field overall, but 7-for-10 from long range, setting a new season high in triples made. The only other time in his regular-season career that Mills […]

Demaryius Thomas Not Practicing Friday

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (knee, ankle) is not practicing Friday and looks unlikely to play Sunday vs the Steelers. This would be the second straight missed game for the veteran wide-out who also missed time earlier in the season with a hamstring injury. Expect Vyncint Smith to play in three WR sets […]

Will Fuller Has Upside In Week 16

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) has been dealing with some inconsistency in the second half of the season, but looked to be back on track against the Titans last week, catching five of his seven targets for 61 yards. This week, he gets a Buccaneers Defense that's allowing more fantasy points to opposing […]

Duke Johnson Is Risky Option In Week 16

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson has essentially been rendered a non-factor in the run game down the stretch, with just three carries over Houston's last two games. He had been gaining steam as a receiving threat, but against the Titans on Sunday he was targeted just three times, catching two passes for 19 yards. […]

Jarrett Allen Notches Season-High Six Assists In Double-Double

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen collected his sixth double-double of the month during Thursday’s loss to the San Antonio Spurs, as he also added a season-high six assists to his stat line. The 19 points and 13 rebounds that Allen compiled represent his approximate ceiling, as the 7-for-10 shooting from the field raised his field-goal […]

Carlos Hyde Is In Tough Spot Against Bucs

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde is in the midst of his first 1,000-yard season, but Saturday's matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers might be a good time to fade Hyde in your fantasy rankings. Tampa Bay has allowed fewer rushing yards to opposing running backs this year than any other team has, with backs […]

Deshaun Watson Has Great Week 16 Matchup

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson faces a Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense on Saturday that's allowing the seventh-most fantasy points this season to opposing passers, and while the Bucs pass defense has improved some as the season's gone along, Watson should still be considered a QB1 for this matchup. It's been awhile since Watson's had a […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Drops Career-High 41 Points In Loss

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Spencer Dinwiddie notched another feather in his cap during what has been a breakout campaign, setting a new career high with 41 points on 14-for-29 shooting during Thursday’s loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs have had difficulty checking opposing guards throughout the year, but Dinwiddie was scorching hot no […]

Odell Beckham Jr. a WR3 Against Baltimore

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. draws a difficult Week 16 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore's pass defense ranks fourth in the league in DVOA while Beckham is putting the finishing touches on a disappointing first season with the Browns. Beckham projects to draw primary coverage from Marcus Peters, who has played at […]

Kareem Hunt a Solid Flex Option in Week 16

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt draws a tough matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. Baltimore has been stingy against running backs this season, allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Hunt does most of his damage in the passing game as he has operated as Cleveland's […]

Jets Defense Not Recommended Sunday

The New York Jets Defense may be getting Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams (ankle) back ahead of a "home" game vs the Steelers, but they are still not an attractive unit to start in your fantasy championship. The Jets, understandably, got gashed by Lamar Jackson and the Ravens last week but also played poorly vs […]

Nick Chubb a Solid RB2 in Week 16

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb draws a decent matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. Chubb shredded the Ravens for 165 rushing yards and three touchdowns back when these two teams met in Week 4. That being said, the second-year running back should be treated as more of an RB2 for the fantasy […]

Baker Mayfield Hard to Trust in Week 16

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield draws a difficult matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16. Mayfield threw for 342 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding another rushing score when these two teams met back in Week 4. That being said, Baltimore's defense has improved significantly since these two teams first played. They […]

Don't Start Daniel Brown Or Trevon Wesco

New York Jets tight ends Daniel Brown and Trevon Wesco will likely split snaps again this Sunday versus Pittsburgh, with Brown the one likely to see more work in the passing game. Brown and Wesco are third and fourth on the Jets depth chart with starter Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) and backup Ryan Griffin (ankle) […]

Ondrej Palat Ends Dry Spell With Two-Point Performance

Tampa Bay Lightning left wing Ondrej Palat produced a two-point performance in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Dallas, scoring the team's third goal and picking up an assist on Mikhail Sergachev's power-play marker. Alex Killorn also scored a power-play goal in the contest. Palat ended a seven-game point drought, and he's actually been in miserable […]

Jamison Crowder Startable Despite Tough Matchup

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder exploded for 90 yards and two touchdowns last week in Baltimore and is a startable option again this week despite another tough AFC North opponent. Pittsburgh is a daunting matchup, but Crowder has gotten at least seven targets in four of his last five games including a team-high […]

Golden Tate Better With Daniel Jones Under Center

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate will see a boost in value this week with the return of rookie quarterback Daniel Jones. With Jones under center, Tate sees three to five more targets a game. However, that number hovers around six total targets in games where all three wide receivers are active. The game figures […]

Darius Slayton Will Be Big-Play Dependent

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton will be big-play dependent when the team takes on a Redskins secondary that ranks 13th in PPR points allowed to wide receivers. With all Giants wide receivers healthy, Slayton sees between 17-20% of the team targets, which likely won't be a lot in a game that figures to […]

Le'Veon Bell Faces Tough Matchup In Revenge Game

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell likely circled Sunday's matchup with the Steelers the day it was announced, but will face an uphill battle to find fantasy production vs his former team. Pittsburgh has one of the strongest defenses in the league allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs. Bell, on the […]
