Javonte Williams a High-Ceiling Play Despite Neck Issue

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams (neck) was able to log a full practice session on Friday, and he looks to be a locked-in RB1 option for Sunday's Week 16 matchup with the Chargers. Los Angeles' defense has been strong against the pass all season, forcing most opponents into a run-heavy game plan, but the […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Remains RB2 Despite Tough Week 16 Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. should be in many starting lineups despite a tough Week 16 matchup with the Denver Broncos. He mustered three receiving touchdowns in a huge passing day for the Jaguars' offense last week. That receiving work gives Etienne Jr. a high floor. With backup running back Bhayshul Tuten (finger) […]

Chuba Hubbard Is Only Rosterable as A Handcuff In Week 16

Chuba Hubbard posted underwhelming numbers in Week 15 against the Saints. The Carolina RB had eight carries for 29 yards. He also added nine receiving yards on one reception to total just 4.8 PPR points. Hubbard has registered less than 5.0 PPR points in three of his last five games. The Panthers will face the […]

Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks: J.J. McCarthy, Trevor Lawrence, Audric Estime, Ashton Jeanty, Ladd McConkey, Terry McLaurin, Darren Waller, Harold Fannin Jr., more

Who Should I Start? Who Should I Sit? Some common Week 16 fantasy football lineup decisions are regarding players like J.J. McCarthy, Trevor Lawrence, Audric Estime, Ashton Jeanty, Ladd McConkey, Terry McLaurin, Darren Waller, and Harold Fannin Jr. But not to worry, we are here to help make these decisions and build winning lineups in Week […]

Rico Dowdle is an RB2 Start Against the Buccaneers

Rico Dowdle had 16 carries for 49 yards and one touchdown in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints. The Carolina RB added five receiving yards on one reception to total 12.4 PPR points. Since Week 9, Dowdle has averaged 15.4 PPR points and finished with double-digit PPR points in five games. Carolina will face […]

Evan Hull to See More Opportunities Against Jets

New Orleans Saints running back Evan Hull handled four carries for 12 yards in Week 15's victory against the Panthers. The 25-year-old saw additional work after Devin Neal exited in the second quarter with an injury. With Alvin Kamara (knee) and Neal (hamstring, IR) ruled out for Week 16, Hull is expected to share the […]

D'Andre Swift Expected to Play Saturday Night

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is expected to play in Saturday night's divisional matchup with the Packers after limited practice sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. Green Bay has been one of the most difficult defenses to run against for most of the season, but it remains to be seen how the unit will […]

Audric Estime in Line for Bigger Role Against Jets

New Orleans Saints running back Audric Estime rushed three times for 11 yards and added 39 yards on three receptions in the Week 15 victory against the Panthers. Devin Neal exited in the second quarter, and with Alvin Kamara also out, Estime split touches with fellow back Evan Hull for the remainder of the game. […]

Devin Singletary Tough To Trust in Lineups for Week 16

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary took a backseat to Tyrone Tracy Jr. in Week 15's loss to the Washington Commanders. Singletary recorded only six touches for 14 yards from scrimmage, his fewest touches in a game since Week 8 and his fewest yards since Week 7. The veteran has taken on a larger […]

Isaiah Davis a Fantasy Fade in Week 16

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis won't be in fantasy consideration this weekend despite an excellent matchup with a vulnerable New Orleans Saints defense. Davis is coming off his best game of the season in Week 15, racking up 58 yards on a season-high nine carries and his first touchdown of 2025. He added […]

Ty Johnson's Upside Capped in Week 16

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson carried the ball four times for 13 yards and added 15 receiving yards on three catches against the New England Patriots. Johnson entered the 2025 season as the expected RB3, behind James Cook and second-year back Ray Davis. However, Johnson's receiving ability has earned him more snaps than Davis, […]

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Offers RB2 Value in Week 16

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. posted his best fantasy performance of the season in Week 15's loss to the Washington Commanders, handling 15 rushes for 70 yards and a touchdown to go with three catches (four targets) for 27 yards and another score as a receiver. The second-year back played his highest […]

James Cook Remains a High-End RB1 in Week 16

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook had a monster game in Week 15, totaling 111 yards and three total touchdowns against one of the strongest run defenses in the NFL, the New England Patriots. Cook has ascended every season of his career, as he ranks second in the NFL in rushing (1415) behind only Jonathan […]

Breece Hall Eyeing Rebound Vs. Exploitable Saints' Defense

New York Jets running back Breece Hall is coming off one of his worst performances of the season in last weekend's road loss to the Jaguars, but he will look to rebound against a porous New Orleans Saints rush defense in Week 16. The Nebraska native tied a season-low percentage of team plays last Sunday […]

Jawhar Jordan Is in an Uncertain Role in Week 16

Houston Texans running back Jawhar Jordan had an impressive NFL debut last week, taking 15 carries for 101 rushing yards against the Cardinals. The sixth-round pick from the 2024 NFL Draft out of Louisville had yet to make an NFL appearance until last week, and despite his impressive debut, it's not clear what his role […]

Nick Chubb Could Return Against the Raiders

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (ribs) is questionable for this week's home game against Las Vegas, but he was able to get in full practices on Thursday and Friday, so he's trending towards being able to return. He could end up as the primary running back, depending on the status of Woody Marks (ankle), […]

Woody Marks Questionable Against the Raiders

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks (ankle) was set up for success last week, but he was forced to leave the game after just seven carries. If he does play, he'll be a strong option against the Raiders, but the Texans will be cautious with their rookie rusher. Last week, before his injury, he ran […]

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey will put a four-game touchdown streak on the line in Week 16 against the Colts.

Chase Brown Still in the Must-Start Conversation in Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown struggled on the ground in the last three games. However, he at least made up for it by catching 17 passes during that span. Without question, fantasy managers were expecting more from the 25-year-old after a quality 2024 campaign. Still, the upside is there, as evident by his two-touchdown […]

Jordan Mason Remains Stuck as Vikings RB2

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason has taken a backseat to Aaron Jones Sr. since his return in Week 8. His fantasy value has predictably cratered since that point, averaging just 5.6 PPR points per game with zero top 12 weekly finishes at the position. The 26-year-old has only exceeded 50 rushing yards once in […]

TreVeyon Henderson Maintains Incredibly High Ceiling for Week 16

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson has been one of the most explosive players in football since taking over as the team's primary ball-carrier in Week 9. Since that Week 9 contest, he ranks as the overall RB4 in full-PPR fantasy points per game, and he's averaging a whopping 6.2 yards per carry. He […]

Tyjae Spears Seeing Fewer Opportunities Amid Teammate's Breakout

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears has dealt with a reduced role lately as Tony Pollard earns a heavy dose of touches. Pollard was relatively disappointing from Week 5, when Spears returned from injured reserve, through Week 13. However, in Week 14, he broke out against a relatively strong Browns run defense, and he had […]
