Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 27 | 86% (+2) | 1 | Cam Newton made quick work of the Falcons two weeks ago, and the only thing that can stop him this week is a quick hook as he prepares for the playoffs. | ||||
WR | 10 | 85% (-11) | 62 | Calvin Johnson's ankle woes have proven to be more serious than expected, limiting him to one catch in each of his last two games heading into a matchup against the 49ers, who have not allowed an opposing receiver to score since Week 11. | ||||
WR | 12 | 82% (+12) | 27 | Martavis Bryant caught 10 passes for 87 yards on Sunday against the number one pass defense in the NFL in terms of yardage, the Denver Broncos, but in Week 16 he has a much more favorable match-up against a Baltimore Ravens defense that is 15th in the NFL with 242.3 passing yards allowed per game but 27th with 28 passing touchdowns allowed. | ||||
RB | 12 | 79% (+9) | 36 | Latavius Murray hasn't topped 100 rushing yards in seven games, but faces a Chargers defense Thursday that ranks 30th in yards per carry allowed (4.7) and 28th in rushing TDs allowed (14). | ||||
RB | 10 | 10% (+4) | 69 | Spencer Ware was active but failed to touch the ball last week as he recovers from a rib injury, but if he's able to handle a bigger workload Sunday he'll be facing a Browns defense allowing 134.9 rushing yards a game, 31st in the league. | ||||
TE | 5 | 33% (-7) | 124 | Richard Rodgers saw only four targets last week in a favorable matchup, something he has again this Sunday against a Cardinals defense that has allowed an average of 73.3 yards and four touchdowns to opposing tight ends since their Week 9 bye. | ||||
W/R/T | 0 | 21% (-2) | 2254 | Vincent Jackson is unlikely to play this week as he continues to deal with a sprained MCL that could hold him out for the rest of the season. | ||||
BN | 9 | 22% (+2) | 75 | Jeremy Langford has 11 or more carries in eight straight games, but has not scored in three weeks while Matt Forte has reached the end zone in each contest, setting Langford up for another complimentary role Sunday against a ninth ranked Buccaneers rush defense. | ||||
BN | 3 | 8% (-1) | 211 | |||||
BN | 4 | 46% (-5) | 224 | DeMarco Murray had just two carries for three yards in the loss to Arizona and appears dead and buried in an Eagles' uniform. | ||||
BN | 7 | 12% (+4) | 131 | Alfred Blue had a big game in Week 15 after getting over a back injury and will be atop the Houston Texans' running-back rotation in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans, who rank 17th in rushing defense (110.1 ypg). | ||||
BN | 9 | 55% (+1) | 72 | Brown dropped a pair of early TD passes that would have resulted in a huge game but at least salvaged the day somewhat with a third quarter score from Carson Palmer and should be able to get back on track against the Packers in Week 16. | ||||
BN | 10 | 53% (+1) | 61 | Floyd led the Arizona passing game in catches (five) and receiving yards (70) but failed to find the end zone in a Week 15 win but should benefit from a closer game in a Week 16 game against the Packers. | ||||
BN | 6 | 12% (+1) | 128 | Ellington continues to remain sidelined with turf toe and would appear to have a diminishing role upon his eventual return with the emergence of David Johnson as Arizona prepares for a matchup with the Packers in Week 16. | ||||
BN | 0 | 16% (-2) | 2540 | |||||
BN | 20 | 26% (-4) | 14 | Ryan Fitzpatrick had an ugly interception Saturday, as well as an ugly cut at the top of his nose, but though managed to throw at least one touchdown pass for the seventh-straight game, and will face a Patriots defense against which he threw for 295 yards and two touchdowns in late October. | ||||
Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
