New York Giants rookie quarterback
Jaxson Dart came out of the team's bye to throw for 246 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception on 20-for-36 passing in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Washington Commanders. Dart added nine rushing attempts for 63 yards on the ground and was sacked one time for a loss of eight yards. The 22-year-old dual-threat signal-caller was checked for a concussion yet again after already missing two games due to a head injury, but thankfully, he was cleared to re-enter the game. Fantasy managers have to like what they've seen from Dart in his first NFL season due to his abilities with his arm and his legs, but Sunday's game was the fifth time already in 2025 that he's been checked for a concussion. The risk/reward with Dart is very real because of his willingness to put his body in harm's way. The Ole Miss product will once again have clear QB1 upside in Week 16 versus the Vikings.

As expected, it was a shootout on Sunday between the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams in Week 15. Lions wide receiver
Jameson Williams had his fourth 100-yard game and his second such performance in the last three games, catching seven of his nine targets for 134 yards and a touchdown in the 41-34 loss. The 24-year-old nearly had 100 receiving yards in last week's win over the Dallas Cowboys, and he had a season-high 144 yards and a touchdown the week prior in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers. Since the team's Week 8 bye, Williams has really come on strong, averaging 95.3 receiving yards. Quarterback
Jared Goff attempted a whopping 41 passes on Sunday as the Lions were forced to keep up with the high-scoring Rams offense. Williams could easily threaten for another 100-yard game in Week 16 against a Steelers secondary that has had its fair share of issues in 2025.

Buffalo Bills quarterback
Josh Allen staged yet another comeback victory on Sunday against the division-rival New England Patriots, completing 19 of 28 passes for 193 yards and three touchdowns while adding 11 carries for 48 yards as a runner. Allen and the Bills punted on their first three drives and spotted the Patriots a 21-0 lead in the first half, but the reigning MVP then led five consecutive touchdown drives as the Bills stormed back to win 35-31. The superstar quarterback found tight end
Dawson Knox for two touchdowns and running back
James Cook for the other. Allen has now compiled 444 passing yards, 126 rushing yards, and seven total touchdowns with zero turnovers in the past two games, building a legitimate case to repeat as the league's MVP. Allen will profile as the overall QB1 in fantasy football again in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback
Jalen Hurts turned the ball over five times in last week's Monday night loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, but he bounced back in a big way in a favorable Week 15 matchup on Sunday against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. Hurts only attempted 15 passes in the 31-0 rout, but he completed 12 of them for 175 yards and three touchdown passes. The 27-year-old signal-caller added seven carries for 39 yards on the ground. He was sacked only once for a loss of four yards. Two of Hurts' touchdown passes were short dump-offs to tight end
Dallas Goedert, with his third passing TD coming to receiver
A.J. Brown on a 27-yard hookup. It hasn't always been pretty in 2025, but Hurts now has 22 touchdown passes, eight rushing TDs, and six interceptions in 15 games. He has been a top-five fantasy QB and has another plus matchup for the fantasy semifinals in most leagues in Week 16 versus the division-rival Commanders.

New York Giants running back
Tyrone Tracy Jr. did it all on Sunday in his team's 29-21 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 15. Tracy suffered what looked like a serious hip injury in the Week 13 loss to the New England Patriots, but he had the Week 14 bye to recover, and he quickly proved this weekend that he's still New York's lead back when healthy. The 26-year-old had a team-high 15 carries for 70 yards (4.7 yards per carry) and a touchdown while adding three catches on three targets for 27 yards and another score. Backfield mate
Devin Singletary had only six touches for 14 scrimmage yards. Tracy rewarded fantasy managers who were bold enough to start him this week with his first trips to the end zone since Week 7. Going into a Week 16 matchup against the Vikings, Tracy will profile as an RB2 in the fantasy semifinals as the Giants' clear RB1.

Denver Broncos rookie running back
RJ Harvey had another high-volume day in a 34-26 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. Knowing this would be a challenging matchup for Harvey to excel in, he still put up 65 yards on 19 carries, one touchdown, and one lost fumble. The most surprising statistic is that Harvey saw just one target in the passing game after averaging over four per game in the past five matchups. The Packers keyed heavily on Harvey in this game, but he still found a way to get into the endzone for the 10th touchdown of his rookie season. Harvey will try to find more efficiency against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16.

Denver Broncos wide receiver
Lil'Jordan Humphrey had his best game of the season in the 34-26 victory against the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. Since Broncos rookie wide receiver
Pat Bryant (hamstring) was out for Week 15, Humphrey had more opportunities and filled in efficiently with three catches on four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown. This marks Humphrey's first touchdown of the season, as he has only seen the field for seven games so far in 2025. If Bryant is ruled out again, Humphrey might see more opportunities again, but will remain a dart-throw option as the Broncos host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16.

Dallas Cowboys running back
Javonte Williams (shoulder) returned to the Sunday night game against the Minnesota Vikings for the start of the second half after leaving in the first quarter with a shoulder injury after his one-yard touchdown plunge, according to Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk. After Williams' injury on the first drive of the game,
Malik Davis and
Hunter Luepke split backfield duties in the second half. Luepke suffered a concussion and was ruled out at halftime, so Williams and Davis will split the touches to close out the game. Dallas added padding under Williams' shoulder pad, and he opened the second half with runs of 15 and three yards. So far, he has eight carries for 31 yards and one touchdown for the Cowboys in a must-win game. His fantasy managers have to be thrilled to see him return in the second half.

Denver Broncos wide receiver
Troy Franklin provided an efficient day in the Week 15 34-26 win over the Green Bay Packers. With Broncos wide receiver
Pat Bryant (hamstring) out this week, Franklin was able to reestablish himself as a force in the offense with six catches on six targets for 85 yards and a touchdown. The catches and yardage were second best on the team, trailing only
Courtland Sutton. After seeing a dip in production and all-around involvement since the Broncos' bye week, this could be the game he needed to pry his way back onto the field. Keep an eye on Bryant's availability for Week 16, but Franklin could be a WR2 again against the Jacksonville Jaguars after this efficient performance.

Denver Broncos wide receiver
Courtland Sutton led the receiving room in targets for the second straight week in the 34-26 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. Sutton performed as the alpha once again, with seven catches on 10 targets for 113 yards and one touchdown to lead the team in targets, catches, and receiving yards on the day. This was encouraging to see, as the passing attack seemed to be firing on all cylinders, with Sutton the primary beneficiary in clutch moments throughout the game. The Jacksonville Jaguars are on tap for Week 16, and Sutton will look to carry his momentum to that one.

Denver Broncos quarterback
Bo Nix led his team to an 11th straight win on the season in the Week 15 matchup versus the Green Bay Packers, defeating them 34-26. Despite playing against a difficult defense, Nix showed up for what was one of his best games of the season, completing 23 of 34 pass attempts for 302 yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions, and added 10 yards rushing on seven carries. This is precisely what fantasy managers were hoping for in the first round of the playoffs from Nix, who had been struggling to reach QB1 output since Week 8. Getting hot at the right time, Nix will face the Jacksonville Jaguars at home in Week 16.

Detroit Lions quarterback
Jared Goff posted huge numbers in his team's Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, completing 25 of 41 pass attempts for 338 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Across 14 games this season, the 31-year-old has now completed 69.3% of his pass attempts for 3,672 yards, 29 touchdowns, and five interceptions. With the Lions' defense struggling, Goff has been forced to turn to the air with regularity over the second half of the season. After attempting more than 30 passes in a game just once over the season's first seven weeks, Goff has topped that mark six times over his last seven games. Goff has thrown for at least 250 yards in all seven of those contests. As long as Detroit continues to find itself in pass-heavy game scripts, Goff could continue to have chances to rack up numbers. The Lions will host the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback
Brock Purdy led his team to a 37-24 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 15, completing 23 of 30 pass attempts for 295 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Purdy also rushed for 44 yards on seven attempts. Across six games played this season, the 25-year-old has thrown for 1,442 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Purdy has battled multiple injuries so far in 2025, but he seems to be hitting his stride down the stretch of the season. Purdy has completed at least 70% of his pass attempts in three out of his last four starts, leading San Francisco to a 4-0 record and an average of 31 points per game over that stretch. The 49ers will travel to Indianapolis to take on the Colts in Week 16.

Buffalo Bills running back
James Cook put up a dominant performance in his team's critical Week 15 win over its division rival, the New England Patriots, on Sunday. Cook recorded 22 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns, and two receptions for four yards and a score. The 26-year-old has now racked up 1,686 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 302 touches across 14 games this season. Cook has topped 100 scrimmage yards in five straight games and 11 out of 14 total contests in 2025. He also continues to dominate backfield touches in Buffalo, logging 22 of the team's 26 rushing attempts by running backs in Week 15. Cook profiles as a must-start fantasy running back heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back
Travis Etienne Jr. had a huge game in his team's 48-20 Week 15 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. Although the 26-year-old struggled to just 32 rushing yards on 12 carries, he more than made up for it by hauling in three receptions for 73 yards and three touchdowns on four targets. Etienne Jr. has now recorded 1,203 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 242 touches across 14 games this season. He's established himself as the clear RB1 in a Jacksonville offense that is hitting its stride down the stretch of the season. Etienne Jr. remains a must-start fantasy running back heading into his Week 16 matchup against the Denver Broncos.
