Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley completed nine out of 17 passing attempts for 115 yards and a touchdown while adding 26 yards on the ground from 11 carries.

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones threw for 334 yards, one touchdown, and one interception off 30-for-42 passing in the loss to Minnesota on Saturday. He also logged four carries for 34 yards.

Davis Mills Throws Touchdown In Week 16 Victory

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills was 17-for-28 in Saturday's win over the Tennessee Titans, throwing for 178 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The team still used a second QB on occasion, with Jeff Driskel throwing four passes and carrying the ball twice, but it was mostly Mills under center. He's played better lately, […]

Malik Willis Rushes For Touchdown In Loss

Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis completed 14 of his 23 passes for 99 yards and two interceptions but added seven rushes for 43 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Houston Texans. Needless to say, he was far from a solid fantasy option in Week 16. Ryan Tannehill (ankle) will likely be out […]

Geno Smith Unable To Capitalize On Great Matchup In Week 16

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith had a rough time against the Kansas City Chiefs this week. The 32-year-old could not capitalize on the great matchup, only throwing for 215 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.

Justin Fields Put On Ice Against Bills

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields completed 15-of-23 passes for only 119 yards with one passing touchdown in the Bears 35-13 loss to the Bills.

Desmond Ridder Totals 218 Passing Yards

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder has 218 passing yards in the team's 17-9 Week 16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

He completed 66.7% of his pass […]

Jared Goff Booms Against Panthers

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 25 of his 42 passing attempts for 355 yards and three touchdowns in the loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 16.

Patrick Mahomes Rushes For Score Against Seattle

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was 16-for-28 for 224 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday's win over the Seattle Seahawks. He also added in a rushing touchdown as well. While this was the second-fewest passing yards in a game this season for Mahomes, the rushing score helped bolster his overall fantasy line. Mahomes looks […]

La'el Collins Won't Return On Saturday

Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle La'el Collins (knee) won't return to Saturday's meeting with New England. The veteran didn't last long, going down in the first quarter with a knee injury. However, Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins, and Ja'Marr Chase have had no problems getting it done so far in Week 16 against the Pats defense, so […]

Ryan Tannehill Done At Least For Rest Of Regular Season

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) will be out for at least the rest of the regular season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The veteran underwent surgery on a high-ankle sprain after getting banged up in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers. There's a chance the signal-caller could return for the postseason. However, Schefter […]
