Jameis Winston Questionable For Week 16

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston (shoulder) is considered questionable to suit up on Sunday to face the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (knee) is ready to return to the field following a one-game absence and has been cleared from the final Week 16 injury report and will start on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Saturday Slate: Daily Fantasy Football Week 16 NFL DFS Lineup Picks on DraftKings and FanDuel (2024)

It's that time of year - the time when the NFL takes over Saturdays with late-season games and even infiltrates Christmas Day with games, too (the NBA is still salty!) In Week 16, we have two games on Saturday, 12/21 with the Chiefs hosting the Houston Texans and the Baltimore Ravens hosting their division rival […]

Caleb Williams A Solid Superflex/2QB League Option In Week 16

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has struggled to be fantasy-relevant throughout this season and faces an uphill battle in Week 16 against the Detroit Lions. The first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft had one of his best performances against the Lions in Week 13 when he combined his 256 passing yards and three […]

Bryce Young Will Start Final Three Games

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that quarterback Bryce Young will start the final three games of the 2024 regular season. "Bryce is going to finish the season for us," Canales said.

Joe Burrow Good To Go For Week 16 As High-End QB1

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) was officially limited for the third time this week on Friday but he is good to go for Sunday's divisional contest against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16. Burrow is also battling through soreness in his surgically repaired right wrist, but all systems […]

Kirk Cousins Unlikely To Return As Backup In 2025

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins was benched in favor of first-round rookie Michael Penix Jr. this week after throwing nine interceptions in a five-game span in which the team went 1-4. Cousins, 36, is unlikely to be the No. 1 QB in Atlanta again this year, and the chances that the 13-year veteran signal-caller comes […]

Baker Mayfield, Tristan Wirfs Seen At Practice Friday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (knee) and left tackle Tristan Wirfs (foot, knee) were both spotted practicing on Friday, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.

Derek Carr Wants To Return This Season

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (hand) wants to return before the end of the 2024 regular season, according to Matthew Paras of The Times-Picayune. Carr has been sidelined since the waning minutes of Week 14, and it appears the Saints are leaving the door open for him to start in Week 16. Even if […]

Spencer Rattler To Start On Monday If Derek Carr Can't Play

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler is expected to start in Week 16 if Derek Carr (hand) isn't able to play, according to ESPN's Katherine Terrell.

Bo Nix Puts Up Good Numbers In Thursday Night Loss

Despite the Denver Broncos' Week 16 Thursday night loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, rookie quarterback Bo Nix had a solid showing for his fantasy managers by going 29-for-40 for 263 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Nix was sacked twice for a loss of 18 yards and ran the ball three times for […]

Russell Wilson A Low-End QB2 Against Baltimore

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson has thrown for fewer than 200 yards in two straight games and will hope to find more success in Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens are surrendering the most passing yards in the NFL and the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. However, it may be difficult for […]

Justin Herbert Plays Well In A Week 16 Win

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert played well in a 34-27 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 16. Herbert was decent in the first half and then really turned it on in the second half. In total, he completed 23 of his 31 passes for 284 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Herbert also […]

Aidan O'Connell Gets Through Another Full Practice

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session. O'Connell has now made it through back-to-back full practice sessions without a setback, which is great news ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Another full session on Friday should get O'Connell cleared to play for this […]

Lamar Jackson Gets Another Shot Against Steelers In Week 16

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is fresh off of a humongous performance against the New York Giants in Week 15 where he threw five touchdowns. In Week 16, however, the Pittsburgh Steelers present a bigger challenge. The only week that Jackson finished outside QB1 territory this season was against the Steelers in Week 11. He […]

C.J. Stroud Relegated To Superflex Role Versus Chiefs

The struggling Houston Texans' passing game combined with the blitz-happy Kansas City Chiefs should have fantasy managers dialing back expectations for quarterback C.J. Stroud in Week 16. The second-year quarterback has been sacked the fifth-most times in the league this year, which is not a great sign against a Kansas City defense that knocks down […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 16? Russell Wilson, Najee Harris, Pat Freiermuth

The Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the better offenses in the league this season. They rank 11th in total points per game this year despite being a run-heavy group and technically not having had their starting quarterback for the first six games of 2024. They rank in the bottom half of teams in offensive yards […]

Broncos vs. Chargers TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Bo Nix, Courtland Sutton, Javonte Williams, Justin Herbert, Gus Edwards, Kimani Vidal, Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston

While it's impossible to predict what will happen on Thursday Night Football between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers, I can almost guarantee that there will be more points scored than last week. Fantasy football was blessed by many incredible Thursday Night Football games this season, but last week was far and away the […]
