Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
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 | 10 | 79% (+1) | 57 | Eric Decker has scored 10 touchdowns this season, but faces a New England Patriots defense that is tied for 8th in the NFL in terms of passing touchdowns allowed, and Decker was held out of the end zone in the first meeting between the two squads. | ||||
WR | 10 | 62% (+18) | 60 | DeSean Jackson rebounded a two-catch, 43-yard effort with a season-high 153-yard outburst against Buffalo that also included a customary long touchdown for the talented wideout. | ||||
WR | 9 | 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. | ||||
RB | 10 | 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. | ||||
RB | 9 | 45% (+15) | 90 | Danny Woodhead scored four times last week, including three receiving touchdowns, and with Melvin Gordon out with a knee injury, he should see an expanded workload Thursday against a Raiders defense that has struggled this season against pass-catching RBs. | ||||
TE | 8 | 50% (–) | 58 | Benjamin Watson has remained a big piece of the Saints’ passing offense, even without a bevy of touchdowns (5) this season. | ||||
BN | 8 | 68% (-2) | 101 | T.Y. Hilton has been up and down all season but has a potentially good week coming up in Week 16 when the Indianapolis Colts face off against the Miami Dolphins, who rank 31st in passing touchdowns allowed (31). | ||||
BN | 19 | 34% (–) | 22 | Philip Rivers threw for over 300 yards and multiple touchdowns last week for just the second time in his last six games, but faces a Raiders defense Thursday that's allowed 265.6 passing yards per game, fifth-worst in the league. | ||||
BN | 14 | 86% (-1) | 16 | Devonta Freeman had one of his worst games of the season against the Panthers two weeks ago and could struggle once again. | ||||
BN | 10 | 65% (+13) | 47 | Darren McFadden had 16 carries for 100 yards in the loss to the Jets for his second straight game of over 100 yards. | ||||
BN | 7 | 46% (-4) | 111 | Giovani Bernard started and got the lion share of the carries early against a purportedly weak San Francisco 49ers run defense, but was unable to do much to the tune of 18 total touches for 51 yards vs. competitor Jeremy Hill's 19 touches for 31 yards but two touchdowns, and this week he faces the number one rush yardage defense in the NFL in the Denver Broncos that allow only 79.9 yards per game on the ground. | ||||
BN | 26 | 69% (+8) | 2 | Blake Bortles and Jacksonville Jaguars still have an outside shot of making the playoffs in their Week 16 game against the New Orleans Saints, who rank 30th in passing defense (276.4 ypg). | ||||
Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Kickers | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
K | 8 | 56% (-1) | 215 | Dan Bailey made just one field goal and three extra-points in the loss to the Jets, but remains a perfect five-for-five from 50+ yards out with his long field goal. | ||||
