Los Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker remains one of the most reliable fantasy options after going 3-for-3 on field goals last week against the Kansas City Chiefs. Heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium, Dicker is in an ideal environment for scoring. The Cowboys' explosive offense should keep the Chargers aggressive, while the Dallas defense's secondary struggles often lead to drives stalling in field goal range. RotoBaller projects Dicker as K4 for the week, reflecting both his individual accuracy and the high-scoring potential of this game script. With the Chargers' offense getting healthier, Dicker should see multiple scoring opportunities in a controlled dome environment. Start him with complete confidence as a top-tier fantasy kicker this week.

Atlanta Falcons tight end
Kyle Pitts Sr. (knee) is coming off the best game of his career, recording 11 receptions for 166 yards and three touchdowns in the team's 29-28 win over Tampa Bay last week, now sitting with 73 catches and 797 yards for the year. The 25-year-old has had a consistent role in the offense for much of the season, but got a boost as the main beneficiary of
Drake London's (knee) absence over the last four weeks. Pitts was a limited participant in practice during the week, and although London did not practice on Friday, both players are expected to suit up for Sunday's road matchup against the Cardinals. It will be the first time Pitts, London, and
Kirk Cousins will all be on the field together this season, so it will be interesting to see how the targets get divvied up. Still, the 6-foot-6 tight end looks like a top-five option this week against an Arizona defense that has yielded the seventh-most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season, including an 8-76-1 line for the Texans'
Dalton Schultz just last week.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end
Oronde Gadsden is coming off a productive week in which he led the team with 61 receiving yards on a 19% target share. While his route rate dipped to 54.6% as the team prioritized pass protection, Gadsden functions more like a wide receiver in this offense. That serves him well against a Dallas Cowboys defense that has been shredded by perimeter players, even though it has allowed only four touchdowns to tight ends all year. With
Quentin Johnston (groin) questionable, Gadsden could see an increase in high-ADOT, downfield targets, as he did earlier in the season. He hasn't scored in six games, but the Cowboys' league-worst EPA/Pass suggests that drought could end this Sunday. RotoBaller projects him as the TE10, making him a solid low-end TE1 or streaming option.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Tre' Harris (hip) is off the injury report and is ready for a Week 16 clash with the Dallas Cowboys. Harris took full advantage of
Quentin Johnston's (groin) absence last week, recording a season-high 85% snap share and sparking the offense with a 37-yard reception that led to a Bolts' touchdown. This week, he faces a Dallas Cowboys secondary that ranks last in passing yards and touchdowns allowed. While Harris' volume is tied to Johnston's availability, his big-play ability and high snap share make him an intriguing deep-league flex or DFS punt with upside. RotoBaller ranks him as the WR65, but the matchup offers a higher ceiling than the ranking suggests. He is a low-end WR4/5 with sneaky upside if Johnston is ruled out.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end
Dallas Goedert has totaled his most receptions in a two-game window this season in the past two weeks, following up an eight-catch game against the Chargers with six more against the Raiders. After a lengthy slump, Goedert has stepped his game back up lately, also breaking his five-game scoring drought versus Las Vegas. On Saturday, he's up against a Commanders defense that allows the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Just last week, the Giants' leading receiver against Washington was TE
Theo Johnson who racked up 72 yards. It seems like a perfect storm for Goedert as his involvement has ramped up; he was the only Eagles player to have more than three targets in their most recent contest, finishing with seven. As fantasy playoffs continue, consider him a low-end TE1 in Week 16.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Quentin Johnston (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys after missing the last game with a groin injury. Before the injury, Johnston's production had slowed, totaling just 14 catches over his last five games. If he suits up, he will face a Dallas Cowboys defense that has allowed more passing yards and touchdowns than any other team in the NFL. The Cowboys' 25th-ranked sack percentage could allow Johnston time to get downfield, but his recent lack of volume and the "re-injury" risk make him a volatile play. RotoBaller has Johnston as the WR57 this week if he plays. He remains a touchdown-reliant, low-end WR4, deep-threat gamble.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Keenan Allen remains a focal point for
Justin Herbert, leading the team with seven targets in his last outing. However, his fantasy floor is fragile, as he posted a season-low 43.1% snap share and has seen only two red-zone targets in his last seven games. The Week 16 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys is favorable, as Dallas ranks 30th in EPA/Pass and fifth in completion percentage allowed. While the porous Cowboys secondary boosts the outlook for all Chargers pass-catchers, Allen's limited route participation makes him a touchdown-dependent option in an offense that has favored the ground game. RotoBaller has Allen ranked as the WR41 this week. He is a viable deep-league streamer or FLEX candidate in PPR formats.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver
DeVonta Smith tied his lowest target count in a game this season against the Raiders, mustering just two looks. He was not alone, however, as only one Philly player (
Dallas Goedert) achieved more than three targets in the runaway victory. Plus, Smith was able to make the most of his little involvement, tallying 50 yards on two catches. Coming up, he'll face off against a Commanders defense that has been weak against the pass this season. In fact, Washington has allowed more than 300 passing yards in three of their last six outings. However, Smith has not dazzled recently, having failed to find the end zone since Week 10 and tallying more than four receptions in a game just twice in that same span. In what could be another game where Philly doesn't need to rely on throwing the ball, Smith may be outcasted yet again. The defensive matchup is favorable, but his involvement is no guarantee. Consider him a low-end WR3/FLEX this week.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end
Colston Loveland hauled in four of five targets for 63 yards in the dominant 31-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Loveland had his second-best showing of the 2025 season in Week 15, and injuries across the Bears' receiving room put Loveland in a good spot entering this week. Both
Rome Odunze (foot) and
Luther Burden III (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 16, which could cause the Bears to rely on two-TE sets much more often this week. The Packers have been strong against tight ends this season, allowing the fifth-fewest receiving yards to tight ends this season. While the rookie tight end is in a prime position to have a big outing against the Packers, he's still a low-end TE1 in Week 16 who carries a ton of risk in this Bears system.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Ladd McConkey is looking to rebound after a disappointing two-game stretch in which he totaled just 32 yards and posted a season-low 11.5% target share. Despite the recent lack of volume, McConkey faces a prime opportunity against a Dallas Cowboys defense that has allowed the most passing yards and touchdowns in the league. Dallas ranks 30th in EPA/Pass and is fifth in completion percentage allowed, providing a soft landing for the 24-year-old. With the Cowboys' pass rush ranking only 25th in sack percentage,
Justin Herbert should have the time to find McConkey in the intermediate areas of the field. If
Quentin Johnston (groin) is ruled out again, McConkey's target share should naturally gravitate back toward his season average. RotoBaller ranks him as the WR22 this week, and he is a strong WR2/3 option.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Olamide Zaccheaus is in line for more targets in Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers. Zaccheaus was held without a catch in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns despite
Rome Odunze (foot) being inactive. Now, both Odunze and rookie
Luther Burden III (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 16, which catapults Zaccheaus to the WR2 in this Bears offense. They face the Green Bay Packers this week, who have given up the 13th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While Zacchaeus has only had over 50 receiving yards once this season, he carries low-end FLEX value against the Packers.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
D.J. Moore is in a smash spot entering Week 16's matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Moore hauled in four of five targets for 69 yards and two touchdowns in last week's dominant victory over the Cleveland Browns. Now, the Bears will be without top receiver
Rome Odunze (foot) and ascending rookie
Luther Burden III (ankle), which opens up targets for Moore and the rest of the Bears' receiving corps. They face the Green Bay Packers in Week 16, who have allowed the 13th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. It's been a rocky road for Moore this season, but with the injuries to Odunze and Burden, along with an ideal matchup, he is a locked-in WR2 in Week 16.

Chicago Bears rookie running back
Kyle Monangai struggled in Week 15, totaling just 33 yards on 11 carries against the Cleveland Browns. The 2025 seventh-round pick has been a pleasant surprise this season, forming an elite committee with D'Andre Swift. Both backs are the only two on a team with over 650 rushing yards, leading Chicago to the NFL's second-best rushing attack behind only the Buffalo Bills. With Swift (groin) listed as questionable for Week 16, Monangai could see a significantly increased workload against the Green Bay Packers. However, the Packers have one of the league's strongest run defenses, ranking sixth against running backs this season. Monangai's fantasy value this week will depend on Swift's status, potentially rising from a risky FLEX option to a low-end RB1 if Swift is inactive.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is questionable for Week 16 as the Bears host the Green Bay Packers. Swift was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday with a nagging groin injury, which has put him on the injury report multiple times throughout the season. Swift has been a huge part of the Bears' rushing attack, and that was in full effect in Week 15, where he had 98 yards and two touchdowns against the Cleveland Browns. Swift has played 59% of the snaps this season, while seventh-round rookie
Kyle Monangai has played 41%. They face the division rival Packers in a must-win game in Week 16. The Packers have allowed the fewest fantasy points to running backs this season, but lost All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons last week with an ACL injury. If Swift is good to go for this showdown, he should be considered an RB2 this week.

Chicago Bears quarterback
Caleb Williams enters Week 16 with a lot on the line as they face division rival Green Bay Packers. Williams is in the midst of a breakout season, throwing for 3,150 yards, adding 21 touchdowns, and throwing six interceptions in 14 games. The 2024 first overall pick has averaged 18.7 fantasy points per game, ranking him QB9 on a per-game basis. This Packers defense has been strong all year, allowing the tenth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Injuries will factor for both sides as well, with the Bears down two key receivers in
Rome Odunze (foot) and
Luther Burden III (ankle), while the Packers are without star Micah Parsons, who tore his ACL last week. Once again, volume will be the question surrounding Williams' fantasy stock this weekend, as he provides QB2 value against the Packers.
