Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs (wrist) exited during the fourth quarter of Saturday's Week 16 contest against the Chicago Bears. He is officially listed as questionable to return. Doubs suffered the injury while attempting to field Chicago's onside kick attempt. The ball bounced off the 25-year-old receiver and was recovered by the Bears, setting up a game-tying drive to force overtime. As Saturday's pivotal divisional battle enters overtime, the Packers are without Doubs, who was having a great game aside from the special teams miscue. On offense, he had caught five of his six targets for 84 yards and a touchdown. With Doubs sidelined,
Dontayvion Wicks and
Matthew Golden should earn more snaps behind
Christian Watson and
Jayden Reed.

Green Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's Week 16 contest against the Chicago Bears. He exited in the second quarter after taking a head-to-head from Bears defensive end Austin Booker, who was penalized. Love finishes the game having completed eight of his 13 pass attempts for 77 yards through the air, no touchdowns, and no turnovers. He also had seven rushing yards.
Malik Willis has entered at quarterback and will lead the Packers the rest of the way. Willis, a former third-round pick, is capable of keeping the Packers in the playoff hunt while offering mid-range QB2 appeal in fantasy football. He has a chance to start in Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens if Love doesn't clear concussion protocol in time. As far as the rest of the quarterback depth chart goes, head coach Matt LaFleur told the FOX broadcast that running back
Josh Jacobs, who was on crutches five days ago and didn't practice this past week, would be the emergency quarterback if Willis gets injured.

Baltimore Ravens kicker
Tyler Loop remains on the fantasy radar as a fringe top-12 option heading into Sunday Night Football against the New England Patriots in Week 16. Loop is the 12th-highest-scoring fantasy kicker this season and is coming off a decent game in which he made all four of his kicks, including one field goal. Overall, the rookie has gone 33-for-35 on extra points and 26-for-28 on field goals (including one from 50+ yards) through 14 games. On paper, this week's matchup is far from ideal, as the Patriots have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers in 2025. That could be a product of New England's softer schedule, though, and Loop should continue to get extra-point and field-goal opportunities behind Baltimore's strong offense. Furthermore, he'll be kicking in calm conditions, as Baltimore's forecast calls for 5-10 mph winds and no precipitation. Loop ranks as the overall K11 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings for Week 16.

Green Bay Packers quarterback
Jordan Love (head) exited during the second quarter of Saturday's Week 16 contest against the Chicago Bears. He is being evaluated for a concussion and is officially questionable to return. He exited after taking a head-to-head from Bears defensive end Austin Booker, who was penalized. At the time of his departure, Love was 8-for-13 passing with 77 yards through the air. He also had seven rushing yards.
Malik Willis, who is one of the stronger backups in the NFL, has taken over as the Packers' quarterback in Love's absence. In the event that Love misses extended time, Willis is capable of keeping the Packers in the playoff hunt while offering mid-range QB2 appeal in fantasy football.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver
Rashod Bateman has not been a dependable fantasy option throughout the 2025 season, and that trend should continue as he returns from injury in Week 16 against the New England Patriots. Bateman is the overall WR93 in scoring this year, catching just 18 of his 35 targets through 11 games. He has finished with more than two catches in just one game this year, and two of his games have resulted in zero catches. Bateman remains stuck behind
Zay Flowers in a wide receiver room that handles a below-average number of targets. This week, he'll face off against a Patriots secondary facing injury-related question marks. Superstar cornerback Christian Gonzalez is healthy, but there's less certainty about Marcus Jones (knee) and Carlton Davis III (hip), who are both questionable. Regardless of their injury statuses, Bateman shouldn't be started in fantasy football this week. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR78 for Week 16.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isiah Likely has underperformed expectations this season, and he reached a new season-low last week with zero targets. It was a shockingly poor performance against a Bengals defense that is typically atrocious against tight ends. He'll look to get back on track on Sunday Night Football in Week 16 against the New England Patriots. The Patriots haven't been particularly strong against tight ends, either, surrendering the eighth-most fantasy points and sixth-most receptions to the position. The matchup offers Likely an opportunity to bounce back, but his floor is still too low to rely on him as a fantasy starter in Week 16. He currently ranks as RotoBaller's TE23.

Baltimore Ravens tight end
Mark Andrews has struggled lately, but he has a promising opportunity to bounce back against the New England Patriots on Sunday Night Football in Week 16. Andrews is the overall TE18 in full-PPR leagues this year, and he has just eight catches for 83 yards and zero touchdowns over his last four games. Last week's matchup against the Bengals seemed like the perfect opportunity for Andrews to explode, but that didn't come to fruition. Perhaps this week will be better, as the veteran faces off against a Patriots defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points and sixth-most receptions to opposing tight ends in 2025. With that said, managers are justifiably wary about starting Andrews after his ugly stretch of games, no matter how intriguing the matchup may be. He ranks as the overall TE16 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 16.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver
Zay Flowers carries plenty of momentum into Sunday Night Football against the New England Patriots in Week 16. Flowers has been playing at a high level lately, amassing 11 catches, 192 yards, and one touchdown over his last two games. He scored at least 15 full-PPR fantasy points in each of those contests. Flowers will have a tougher matchup this week against the Patriots' secondary, which typically has star cornerback Christian Gonzalez traveling with the opponent's No. 1 receiver. With that being said, if Gonzalez doesn't stay with Flowers, he'll have a much higher ceiling. The Patriots have allowed the 14th-most fantasy points and fourth-most receiving touchdowns to opposing wide receivers in 2025. He ranks as the overall WR17 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 16.

Baltimore Ravens running back
Derrick Henry faces a tough challenge in the form of the New England Patriots' defense during Sunday Night Football in Week 16. The Patriots have allowed the fewest fantasy points to running backs in 2025, as well as the second-fewest rushing yards. The run-stopping unit has been relentless this year, but this matchup is coming at a convenient time for Henry. New England's defense is short-staffed with linebacker Robert Spillane (ankle) ruled out. Meanwhile, linebacker Harold Landry III (knee) and defensive tackle Christian Barmore (knee) are both questionable. Henry is coming off an impressive two-game stretch, during which he tallied 202 scrimmage yards. However, he hasn't found the end zone since Week 13. The 31-year-old ranks as the overall RB15 in RotoBaller's fantasy football rankings for Week 16. He has top-12 upside, especially if New England's defense is forced to play without Landry, Barmore, or both.

Three players were disqualified during the fourth quarter of Saturday's Week 16 contest between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders. Following a scuffle after a two-point conversion, Eagles right guard Tyler Steen, Commanders defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw, and Commanders safety Quan Martin were all disqualified. Several players threw punches in the fracas. Steen hadn't previously missed a snap since Week 4. He'll be replaced by Matt Pryor at right guard for the final minutes of Saturday's contest. Kinlaw, who had three tackles before his ejection, will be replaced by Jer'Zhan Newton. Finally, Jeremy Reaves should take over for Martin, who had amassed two tackles.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson endured an ugly stretch of games in November, but he got back on track with a solid two-touchdown performance against the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday. Now, he'll look to build off that momentum during Sunday Night Football against the New England Patriots in Week 16. The 28-year-old has four touchdowns and two turnovers over his last two games, rushing for a decent total of 69 yards during that span. He could have one of his better rushing games this week against a Patriots defense dealing with key injuries on the defensive side of the ball. Linebacker Robert Spillane (ankle) has already been ruled out, and linebacker Harold Landry III (knee) and defensive tackle Christian Barmore (knee) are both questionable. Without some key run-stopping weapons, the Patriots could have trouble slowing down Jackson and
Derrick Henry on the ground. The 28-year-old quarterback ranks as RotoBaller's overall QB4 for Week 16.

Chicago Bears tight end
Cole Kmet (ankle, knee) is officially active for Saturday's Week 16 contest against the Green Bay Packers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after practicing in full on Friday. The 26-year-old has taken on a slightly reduced role during the back half of the season, but he has still logged a snap share north of 60% in each of his last six contests. Through 13 total games this year, he has 24 catches, 301 yards, and a pair of touchdowns, ranking as the overall TE37 in full-PPR leagues. Kmet can be dropped in most redraft formats as he continues to lose targets and snaps to rookie
Colston Loveland.

Chicago Bears running back
D'Andre Swift (groin) is officially active for Saturday's Week 16 contest against the Green Bay Packers. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Although rookie running back
Kyle Monangai has carved out a consistent role in Chicago's offense this season, Swift remains the Bears' primary option out of the backfield. Over his last three games, the 26-year-old has totaled 54 touches, 351 scrimmage yards, and three touchdowns. Swift remains a must-start fantasy running back ahead of Saturday's divisional battle with the Packers. He's a high-end RB2 with RB1 upside.

Green Bay Packers wide receivers
Christian Watson (chest, shoulder) and
Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) are active for Saturday's Week 16 contest against the Chicago Bears. Both players had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. Watson has emerged as the Packers' No. 1 receiver with 28 catches, 481 yards, and five touchdowns through eight games. Since making his season debut in Week 8, he ranks as the overall WR9 in full-PPR leagues. He continues to operate as a high-end WR2 in fantasy football. Meanwhile, Wicks has been productive in a depth role, catching 27 passes for 313 yards and a pair of touchdowns across a dozen contests. His presence on Saturday is key for the Packers, but he doesn't offer much value in fantasy football. Wicks can be benched or dropped to waivers in most redraft leagues.

Washington Commanders quarterback
Marcus Mariota (hand) exited during the third quarter of Saturday's Week 16 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. He was evaluated for a concussion and was cleared. However, he is still listed as questionable to return because of a hand injury.
Josh Johnson will take over as the Commanders' quarterback until he can return. At the time of his departure, Mariota had gone 7-for-14 passing with 95 passing yards, zero touchdowns, and zero turnovers. Washington continues to deal with numerous injuries on both sides of the ball, and Mariota is just the latest example. The veteran quarterback only earned the start on Sunday because
Jayden Daniels (elbow) was ruled out for the second consecutive week.
