Davis Mills - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans rookie quarterback Davis Mills has a neutral matchup against the Chargers this weekend. The Chargers represent the 12th-best pass defense in DVOA, which is firmly in the middle of the pack. Furthermore, the Chargers are the superior team and should absolutely crush the Texans. That should lead to 45-plus pass attempts for Mills. […]

Baker Mayfield - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday and will play against the Green Bay Packers on Christmas Day in Week 16. Mayfield draws a plus matchup against a Green Bay defense that is allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks in 2021. The veteran signal-caller has not […]

Drew Lock - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock will make his first start of the season in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders with Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) ruled out. He'll have an opportunity to prove that he still has a future in Denver, although he hasn't looked very good in three relief appearances this year, going 22-for-40 […]

Ryan Ramczyk, Demario Davis Land On COVID-19 List

After placing nine players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday, the New Orleans Saints added offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk, All-Pro linebacker Demario Davis, linebacker Dwayne Washington and safety J.T. Gray to the list on Friday. Davis currently leads all non-specialists in consecutive games played (158), but that's about to end in Week 16 unless he […]

Zach Wilson - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson has struggled to make much noise during his rookie campaign. In fact, Wilson has only thrown two touchdowns over his last six games. The Jets haven't been impressed by their No. 2 pick, but they haven't exactly given Wilson many weapons. That being said, it's hard to imagine Wilson […]

Kirk Cousins Will Suit Up Against Rams

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins (ribs) practiced in full again on Friday and was removed from the final injury report for Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. Cousins was listed on the injury report this week with a rib injury that he suffered in the Monday night win over the Chicago Bears, but it […]

Mac Jones - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is coming off a game in which he threw for nearly 300 yards. The rookie quarterback has been airing it out more recently, but that isn't going to change his outlook for Week 16. He'll get a tough matchup against the Buffalo Bills defense. They currently rank second in […]

Trevor Lawrence - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is just a desperation streamer against the New York Jets in Week 16. The Jets certainly present a friendly matchup having allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season despite facing low passing volume, but Lawrence's struggles have been fairly extreme. The rookie has failed to clear 10.5 […]

Lamar Jackson Listed As Questionable

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) missed practice for the second straight week but is considered questionable to play in Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite the questionable tag, Jackson is expected to miss a second straight game this weekend. So fantasy managers holding out hope that he'd make it back need to look […]

Browns Activate Baker Mayfield, Case Keenum

The Cleveland Browns activated quarterback Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, as expected. Mayfield and Keenum were both unavailable for the Week 15 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, which was moved to Monday. Browns fans can rest easy knowing that third-stringer Nick Mullens won't have to run the offense […]

Jalen Hurts - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) has been limited in practice all week but is expected to get the start in a Week 16 matchup against the New York Giants. Hurts got off to a slow start in Week 15, but ended up putting up an excellent game, throwing for 296 yards and running in […]

Is Sam Darnold Playing This Week? Should I Start Cam Newton In Week 16?

It's been a roller-coaster season for the Panthers, who have started three different quarterbacks this season. Once upon a time, they were a 5-5 team that was inserting franchise legend Cam Newton into the lineup. Now, they are 5-9, and are looking towards next year. As for this year, though, it appears they aren't done […]

Andy Dalton Ruled Out In Week 16

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (groin) has been ruled out for the Week 16 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Head coach Matt Nagy announced on Friday that Nick Foles will get the start under center, and rookie Justin Fields (ankle) is questionable to be the backup on Sunday. Dalton just returned from the COVID-19 list, […]

Nick Foles To Start, Justin Fields Questionable As Backup

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said that quarterback Nick Foles will start on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, and it will be a game-time decision as to whether rookie Justin Fields (ankle) will serve as Foles' backup in Week 16. The writing was on the wall for Fields to potentially miss this week's game […]

Tyler Huntley Expected To Start Despite Missing Practice

Although Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley missed Friday's practice with a non-COVID-19-related illness, he's fully expected to start on Sunday in a huge divisional matchup versus the Cincinnati Bengals, according to a source within the organization. Lamar Jackson (ankle) missed his 12th straight of work on Friday and isn't expected to play in Week 16. […]

Jonathan Taylor Loses Another Key Offensive Lineman

The Indianapolis Colts placed Pro Bowl offensive guard Quenton Nelson on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, so he will not be available to play on Saturday against the Arizona Cardinals. Running back Jonathan Taylor could have a tough time finding holes to run through on Christmas Day, as center Ryan Kelly (personal) and guard Mark […]

Dak Prescott - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will look to return to the QB1 ranks in a Week 16 matchup against the Washington Football Team. Prescott has been just the fantasy QB17 over the past five games and has thrown just five touchdowns (and five interceptions) in that time. It's partly been opposing defenses "figuring out" the […]

Starter Taylor Heinicke was also activated on Thursday and will resume starting duties in Week 16 […]

Tim Boyle In Line To Start For Lions In Week 16

Detroit Lions quarterback Tim Boyle would get the start under center Sunday vs. the Falcons if Jared Goff is unable to come off the Reserve/COVID-19 list in time. Head coach Dan Campbell conceded Friday that it was unlikely that Goff would suit up for Week 16, paving the way for Boyle to make his second […]

Sean Payton Returns To Head-Coaching Duties

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton is back, having rejoined the team Friday after missing Week 15 following a positive COVID-19 test. He comes back to a cloudy quarterback situation, one that has rookie Ian Book tabbed to make his first professional start in a pivotal game Monday vs. Miami. Without Payton roaming the […]

Blake Bortles Joins Saints, Will Serve As Backup QB

Veteran quarterback Blake Bortles has signed a deal with the New Orleans Saints, making him the backup quarterback for Monday's game against Miami. The New Orleans quarterback room was thrown into flux earlier in the week when Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian landed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, which has paved the way for Ian Book […]

Cam Newton - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is a risky play against Tampa in Week 16. Newton has been struggling since returning to Carolina, losing all four of his starts while throwing for 189 yards or less in those four contests. He also has three touchdowns to four picks in those four games. The QB's rushing abilities […]

Kyler Murray - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and the rest of the team are coming off a game that they would rather put behind them. In a stunning loss to the Detroit Lions, Murray had his second-worst fantasy performance of the season. The matchup in Week 16 won't help, with the Indianapolis Colts coming to town. The […]

Josh Allen - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is coming off a three-touchdown performance against the Carolina Panthers last week. He has thrown six touchdowns over his last three games, but the yardage hasn't always been there. He has 210 passing yards or less in two of his last three games. Luckily, Allen is able to do damage […]
