WR | 11.00 | 23% (-2) | 134 | Marvin Jones led the Cincinnati Bengals with four receptions for 89 yards on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, showing good chemistry with back-up quarterback A.J.

WR | 14.97 | 77% (-3) | 68 | Randall Cobb has not caught a touchdown pass in four straight games and has been held to 40 yards or less in three of his last five outings, making him difficult to rely against the Cardinals, even with corner Tyrann Mathieu sidelined by a knee injury. | ||||
WR | 15.73 | 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). | ||||

W/R | 10.02 | 40% (–) | 121 | C.J. Anderson was unimpressive in his return from an ankle, and now has to face a Bengals defense Monday ranked eighth in the league in rushing yards allowed (93.2 per game). | ||||
BN | 5.90 | 0% (–) | 2458 | |||||
BN | 7.23 | 1% (-1) | 1816 | Jackson remains nothing more than a receiving option out of the backfield in third down situations for the Seahawks despite a depleted running back corps as Seattle hosts the Rams in Week 16. | ||||

BN | 22.43 | 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 | 3.71 | 8% (-23) | 2614 | Brandon Bolden had 10 carries Sunday, but was overshadowed by Hawaii rookie Joey Iosefa, and with the addition of veteran Steven Jackson as well, Bolden could find it difficult to get touches against a stout Jets defense allowing just 82.8 yards per tilt on the ground. | ||||
