Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 31.45 | 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 | 18.91 | 97% (–) | 39 | DeAndre Hopkins has been seeing a lot of double teams of late, which has limited him to one touchdown over the past four weeks, but has a favorable Week 16 matchup against the Tennessee Titans, who have allowed 30 passing touchdowns (29th) this season. | ||||
WR | 27.50 | 98% (–) | 11 | Antonio Brown detonated for 16 receptions, 189 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday against the number one ranked pass defense in the NFL in terms of yardage, the Denver Broncos, and 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 | 28% (+2) | 88 | Darren Sproles had just 25 yards from scrimmage in the loss to Arizona, continuing in what has been a largely disappointing season. | ||||
RB | 14.61 | 83% (+3) | 54 | Matt Forte is averaging just 12.5 touches over the last two weeks, and despite scoring in each contest, the split carries with Jeremy Langford have Forte's potential limited in a matchup with the Buccaneers ninth ranked rush defense that is allowing 94.9 yards per game. | ||||
TE | 12.34 | 78% (–) | 92 | Delanie Walker is breaking franchise records for a tight end this season and looks to build on those records in Week 16 when the Tennessee Titans face the Houston Texans, who rank second in passing defense (211.1 ypg). | ||||
W/R/T | 17.38 | 77% (+12) | 52 | The Jaguars have allowed six 100-yard receivers this season including in each of the past three weeks and Brandin Cooks looks primed to make it four in a row if Drew Brees’ foot holds up. | ||||
Q/W/R/T | 29.00 | 39% (+1) | 12 | Derek Carr threw for multiple touchdowns last week for the eighth time in the last nine games, and faces a Chargers defense Thursday that he touched up for 289 yards and three scores back in Week 7. | ||||
BN | 8.81 | 13% (-1) | 137 | Eric Ebron had his second-best outing of the season last week and now faces a 49ers defense that has allowed opposing tight ends to score in consecutive games | ||||
BN | 9.82 | 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 | 6.09 | 2% (–) | 2470 | |||||
BN | 29.17 | 24% (–) | 20 | Ryan Tannehill has just two touchdown passes in his last three games, but faces an Indianapolis Colts defense that has allowed 28 throwing scorers in 2015, which is tied for 22nd in the NFL. | ||||
BN | 6.25 | 5% (–) | 2454 | Smith shook off some back/toe concerns and managed a pair of catches for 33 yards in a Week 15 loss but still hasn't shown any upside with starter Blaine Gabbert under center as the 49ers travel to Detroit in Week 16. | ||||
BN | 9.72 | 14% (+2) | 195 | Shane Vereen was targeted a season-high 10 times in the loss to Carolina and found the end zone of the first time in four weeks. | ||||

K | 8.21 | 63% (-3) | 179 | Justin Tucker did not have a field goal attempt but did make both extra point attempts on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he takes his average of 2.0 made field goals per game into a Week 16 match-up with a Pittsburgh Steelers unit that has allowed only 1.4 made field goals per game, ninth in the NFL. | ||||
