QB | 26 | 65% (-6) | 4 | If Drew Brees can play—a big if with a torn plantar fascia—he’ll have a great matchup against the bottom-three Jags secondary. | ||||
WR | 9 | 86% (-12) | 77 | A.J. Green was dealing with a back injury and had his lowest output of the season on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers with only one reception for 37 yards, and this week he faces a match-up against a Denver Broncos defense that leads the NFL with only 200.0 passing yards allowed per game but that was just torched in Week 15 by Antonio Brown to the tune of 16 receptions for 189 yards and two touchdowns. | ||||
WR | 10 | 46% (+18) | 74 | Kamar Aiken set career highs in Week 15 with eight receptions for 128 yards and a touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs, and in Week 16 he has a great match-up against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that is next-to-last in the NFL with 279.1 yards per game allowed through the air. | ||||
WR | 0 | 23% (-42) | 2159 | Danny Amendola continues to see his production dwindle, as quarterback Tom Brady has instead targeted Rob Gronkowski, Brandon LaFell and James White with more frequency in recent games. | ||||
RB | 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. | ||||
RB | 2 | 2% (-6) | 2598 | |||||
TE | 11 | 96% (+1) | 24 | Greg Olsen caught his first touchdown last week since Nov. 22, but through just 14 games, set a career-high in yardage and should be in line for another big game against the Falcons. | ||||
W/R/T | 8 | 44% (-1) | 93 | Lockett (five catches, 55 yards) scored for the third time in two weeks and continues to benefit from the resurrection of the Seattle passing game following the injury to tight end Jimmy Graham and has another exploitable matchup against the Rams in Week 16. | ||||
BN | 7 | 17% (+2) | 138 | Pierre Garco had just three catches for 34 yards against Buffalo but saved his day by ending a seven-game scoreless streak with a touchdown. | ||||
BN | 6 | 7% (–) | 190 | Isaiah Crowell rushed nine times for 23 yards and caught three passes for seven more yards on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, but though he out-touched Duke Johnson (12 to 9) he was significantly out-gained by the rookie (30 total yards vs 85), and in Week 16 he will face a stout Kansas City Chiefs run defense that is seventh in the NFL with 92.2 yards allowed per game on the ground. | ||||
BN | 0 | 11% (+2) | 2280 | Steve Johnson remains hampered by a groin injury and is questionable against the Raiders on Thursday, but if he is able to play he'll be facing a defense that's allowed 265.6 passing yards per game, fifth-worst in the league. | ||||
BN | 9 | 73% (+13) | 73 | Emmanuel Sanders pulled in a career-high 181 receiving yards last week, and faces a Bengals defense Monday that's been middle of the pack in passing yards allowed (244.1 per game, 15th in the league). | ||||
BN | 3 | 0% (–) | 2583 | Nelson's brief ascension into fantasy relevance has all but ended with his slide back down the depth chart with a healthy group of receivers ahead of him in the Arizona passing game and he's nothing more than a dart throw in a Week 16 matchup against the Packers. | ||||
BN | 0 | 15% (+1) | 2161 |

K | 8 | 52% (+2) | 202 | Cairo Santos connected on all his attempts last week, including his fourth FG from 50 or more yards in eight tries on the season, and faces a Browns defense Sunday allowing 27.6 points per game, 31st in the league. |
