Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 76 | 40% (-3) | 15 | Matt Ryan had fewer than six standard fantasy points two weeks ago against the Panthers and has thrown 10 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in his last eight games. | ||||
WR | 17 | 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 | 14 | 22% (+12) | 99 | Rueben Randle extended his scoring streak to two games, and three of the last four, with a touchdown against Carolina. | ||||
WR | 16 | 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. | ||||
RB | 12 | 62% (-12) | 79 | Chris Ivory is the second-leading rusher in the AFC, but has ceded touches to Bilal Powell in recent weeks, and has just one touchdown in his last six games. | ||||
RB | 12 | 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. | ||||
RB | 11 | 13% (-2) | 180 | Theo Riddick was a forgotten man in Week 15, and while his pass catching ability figures to keep his value for bottoming out, backfield mates Joique Bell and Ameer Abdullah are suddenly running well heading into a matchup with the 49ers 27th ranked rush defense, which could again limited Riddick's chances. | ||||
TE | 13 | 59% (+1) | 80 | Antonio Gates' 88 receiving yards last week were his highest total in seven games, and he faces a Raiders defense Thursday that's allowed 10 touchdowns to tight ends this season, tied for second-worst in the league. | ||||
W/R/T | 14 | 24% (+2) | 112 | Boldin turned in his best performance (eight catches, 74 yards and a TD) in seven weeks on the heels of a pair of disappointing efforts in Week 13 and 14 and remains the most consistent option in the low-upside San Francisco passing game as San Francisco travels to Detroit in Week 16. | ||||
BN | 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. | ||||
BN | 14 | 16% (+4) | 115 | Donte Moncrief broke a six-game scoreless streak in Week 15 and will look to sustain the momentum in Week 16 when the Indianapolis Colts play the Miami Dolphins, who rank 31st in passing touchdowns allowed (31). | ||||
BN | 7 | 2% (–) | 2470 | |||||
BN | 13 | 19% (+4) | 127 | James Jones flashed his big play potential again last week and now has 16 targets in his last two games, giving him a puncher's chance at a big day against a Tyrann Mathieu-less Cardinals secondary that has allowed four 300 yard passing games in their last five outings. | ||||
BN | 10 | 1% (–) | 132 | Clive Walford has seen a season-high seven targets in each of the last two games, and faces a Chargers defense Thursday that's allowed eight TDs this season to tight ends, tied for fifth-worst in the league. | ||||
BN | 11 | 1% (+1) | 168 | Gaskins managed six catches for 52 yards out of the backfield after starter Shaun Draughn exited with a knee injury but would need more clarity on his role going forward if Draughn is unable to go to warrant much consideration in Week 16 against the Lions. | ||||
BN | 10 | 3% (–) | 139 | |||||
BN | 64 | 7% (+1) | 31 | Brock Osweiler is coming off his most productive game of the season in last week's loss to the Steelers, but now faces a Bengals defense Monday that's ranked sixth in the league in QB rating against (79.3). | ||||

K | 11 | 48% (+2) | 174 | Blair Walsh has eight points in three of his last four games and should see ample chances against a Giants defense that is allowing 25.6 points per game and has only held one opponent under 20 points all season. | ||||
BN | 10 | 48% (+1) | 155 | Josh Brown connected for five extra-points against Carolina and will kick in support of an offense that has scored 66 points the past two weeks. | ||||
