Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver
Chimere Dike has held down a full-time role in the offense, but hasn't emerged as a reliable option for fantasy football. Dike leads the Titans with 24 targets in the past four games, but has generated just 93 yards. The rookie fourth-rounder delivered his two best fantasy performances in Weeks 7 and 8, scoring 16.9 and 16.4 PPR points. However, he has underwhelmed in six games since, averaging just 6.6 points per game. The Florida product still profiles as the most reliable receiver in the Titans' offense, but he is tough to trust for fantasy purposes for a tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. He profiles as a deep league FLEX option at best in Week 16.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Jacoby Brissett has filled in admirably for
Kyler Murray (foot), and he remains a strong fantasy option ahead of Sunday's Week 16 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran quarterback wasn't expected to have any fantasy relevance coming into this season, and even when he took over as the Cardinals' starter, expectations were quite low. However, he has been a pleasant surprise for fantasy managers, ranking as a top-12 quarterback in all nine of his starts this year. Since replacing Murray in Week 6, he is the overall QB3 in fantasy scoring, trailing only
Josh Allen and
Trevor Lawrence. He already has talented receiving threats available in
Trey McBride and
Michael Wilson, and he could get additional reinforcements with
Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) listed as questionable. Harrison is working his way back after missing four of the last five Cardinals games. Having all three of his top targets available would give Brissett an extra boost against the Falcons, who rank near the middle of the league with the 16th-most fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. Just last week, Atlanta's defense surrendered 277 passing yards and two touchdowns to
Baker Mayfield. As it stands, Brissett is the overall QB7 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 16.

Tennessee Titans running back
Tyjae Spears recorded just five touches for 36 yards in last week's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. It was the third year back's fewest touches in a game since Week 5, his first game of the season after opening the year on Injured Reserve with an ankle injury. Spears' role in the Titans' offense hasn't expanded with
Tony Pollard locking down the lead back duties and delivering his two best performances of the season in the last two weeks. The 24-year-old has just one game this season with double-digit PPR points, coming back in Week 8. Spears will remain a low-upside FLEX option in a tough Week 16 matchup versus the Kansas City Chiefs, who have allowed the fourth fewest PPR points per game to running backs.

Atlanta Falcons kicker
Zane Gonzalez has been solid as the team's third placekicker this year, going 11-for-13 in the six games he's played, with both misses coming from more than 50 yards out. He's also 11-for-11 on extra point attempts. The 30-year-old is on the streaming radar for Week 16's road matchup against the Cardinals, as Arizona has given up 35 points per contest over the last three weeks, which is second-worst in the NFL over that stretch, and Atlanta owns an implied total of 25 for this contest, so there is scoring expected in this one. Gonzalez won't have to deal with any elements playing indoors in Arizona either, so it sets him up as a potential top 12 kicking option for Week 16.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver
David Sills V drew 10 targets in Week 15, converting them into six catches for 78 yards. The 29-year-old enjoyed a four-game stretch with
Drake London (knee) missing from action, which included touchdown receptions in Weeks 12 and 13, however, London is expected to return in Week 16. That could mean Sills' fantasy relevance could revert to near-zero, although he did manage to outsnap
Darnell Mooney each of the last two weeks, so it could be Mooney's playing time that takes a hit. Either way, with it being the fantasy playoffs for most managers, it's a situation that is probably best avoided if possible, leaving the 29-year-old as a deep league Hail Mary where needed.

The Broncos' defense enters Week 16 as one of the league's best and will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in what could be another defensive matchup. The Broncos' defense currently ranks second in the league in average points per game allowed at just 18.6, and the Jaguars' defense isn't too far behind them at tenth with just 20.9. Since the Jaguars are ranked as a top-ten offense in scoring with 26.9 points per game, the Broncos will have a great test in containing them. With RotoBaller ranking the Broncos' defense at seventh overall for Week 16, fantasy managers should still feel confident in starting them despite the tough matchup.

Denver Broncos Kicker
Wil Lutz will look for more opportunities to contribute as he'll face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16. In the Week 15 win over the Green Bay Packers, Lutz was able to convert four PAT attempts and didn't get a chance to kick a field goal. The Jaguars' defense is currently ranked 10th in scoring allowed per game at 20.9, and while it can be difficult to predict exactly how likely a kicker will be relied upon for field goals, Lutz has been reliable when given the opportunity this season. As Lutz will do all he can to help the Broncos extend their win streak to 12 straight, RotoBaller ranks him at 21 overall for Week 16.

Denver Broncos tight end
Evan Engram will host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16. Engram enters Week 16 as the TE30 overall on the season in full-PPR leagues and has had a downtrend in offensive snaps with 36% in Week 14 and 28% in Week 15. While the Jaguars will likely force the Broncos to focus more on the passing attack since they are the best in the league at average rushing yards allowed per game, with 86.3, it's hard to bet that Engram will be a beneficiary of the gameplan. As RotoBaller's TE27 overall on the week, Engram will be best left on the bench or on waivers.

Denver Broncos rookie running back
RJ Harvey is set to dominate backfield touches again against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16, but faces another difficult test. The Jaguars currently rank first in the NFL in average rushing yards allowed per game, at just 86.3. With the Broncos having success in Week 15 through the air while facing the Green Bay Packers, it's possible that they could lean more towards the passing game as a focal point to keep the win streak alive. While Harvey has scored at least one touchdown on the ground in three consecutive games and averages 75.7 total yards per game in that stretch, RotoBaller ranks him as the RB14 overall for Week 16.

Denver Broncos wide receiver
Troy Franklin is aiming to stay efficient against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16. After booming again in Week 15 with six of six targets caught for 85 yards and a touchdown, adding one carry for three yards, Franklin could potentially cede snaps to the return of rookie wide receiver
Pat Bryant. However, it will be a surprise if Sean Payton decides to keep Franklin out of the scheme, as he has been a key part of the Broncos' 11-game win streak. With the Jaguars' defense being stronger against the run than it is against the pass, it's likely that the passing attack will be a focal point to keep the win streak alive. With offensive snap counts in the last three games since the bye of 53%, 26%, and 50%, Franklin enters Week 16 as RotoBaller's WR51 overall for the week.

December 20, 2025
Denver Broncos wide receiver
Courtland Sutton has been a healthy start for fantasy managers since the Week 12 bye and will host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16. The Jaguars' defense currently ranks first in average rushing yards per game allowed with 86.3 and 20th in average passing yards allowed with 222.2. With this in mind, it's likely that the passing attack remains a focal point of the Broncos' offense in Week 16 as they look to build off of the tremendous outing that quarterback
Bo Nix had in Week 15. This could bode well for Sutton's production against the Jaguars, and RotoBaller's rankings reflect that as the WR14 overall for Week 16.
--Luke DeMarcusSource: ESPN
December 20, 2025
Denver Broncos quarterback
Bo Nix will look to stay hot as they will host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16. After lighting up the Green Bay Packers in Week 15 with 302 passing yards and four passing touchdowns, Nix should theoretically have an easier time moving the offense down the field against a defense ranking 20th overall in average passing yards allowed per game at 222.2. Nix will also get rookie wide receiver
Pat Bryant back into the lineup for Week 16, which could lead to even more open options to choose from throughout the day. Fantasy managers should feel confident starting Nix as RotoBaller's QB11 overall for Week 16 rankings.

Atlanta Falcons running back
Tyler Allgeier was a non-factor in Week 15's 29-28 win over the Buccaneers, rushing just twice for 18 yards, and did not receive any targets in the passing game for the first time since Week 10. The BYU product is tied for the team lead in touchdowns with eight, but has limited fantasy appeal if he's not finding the end zone. Week 16, however, could bring a solid chance to score, as the Falcons go up against an Arizona defense that has yielded the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs and has allowed 35 points per game to opponents over their last three games (second most). Atlanta has an implied total of 25 points in this one, so there should be a few touchdowns scored, and the 25-year-old projects as a low-floor Flex play who currently has the third-best odds of scoring out of all the Falcon playmakers (+140).

The Dallas Cowboys have activated cornerback Trevon Diggs (knee) from Injured Reserve, and he will start on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to Patrik Walker of DallasCowboys.com. Diggs' return coincides with fellow cornerback Daron Bland (foot), who is set to miss the rest of the season after being moved to Injured Reserve. Diggs was placed on IR in late October after suffering a concussion while also managing a knee injury. The 27-year-old is expected to return in a rotational role for Week 16's game against the Chargers before ramping up over the final two games of the season.

Tennessee Titans running back
Tony Pollard has posted back-to-back games with over 100 rushing yards and a touchdown. Pollard's previous season high for rushing yards was 92 back in Week 2, and he scored only twice in the first 13 weeks before erupting over the past two games. The 28-year-old ranks as the RB3 in PPR points in the past two weeks after a mediocre first 12 games, where he ranked as the RB29. The former Dallas Cowboys running back has maintained a steady workload with double-digit touches in every game and at least 15 in three of the past four games. However, Pollard has a tough matchup on Sunday against a Kansas City Chiefs defense that has allowed the fourth fewest PPR points per game to running backs. He ranks as RotoBaller's RB29 in PPR leagues and is more of a FLEX option in Week 16.
