QB | 15 | 15% (-2) | 26 | Alex Smith failed to pass for 200-plus yards for the third straight game last week, but now faces a Browns defense Sunday that's allowed a 102.1 QB rating against, third-worst in the league. | ||||
WR | 10 | 94% (-1) | 53 | Brandon Marshall had a six-game scoring streak snapped while battling cramps Saturday night, though he is expected to be fine for Sunday's crucial tilt with the New England Patriots, who have allowed 19 passing touchdowns this season, which is tied for 8th in the NFL. | ||||
WR | 7 | 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.

RB | 12 | 79% (+9) | 36 | Latavius Murray hasn't topped 100 rushing yards in seven games, but faces a Chargers defense Thursday that ranks 30th in yards per carry allowed (4.7) and 28th in rushing TDs allowed (14). | ||||
RB | 14 | 84% (+5) | 18 | Johnson exploded for 229 yards of offense and three touchdowns in Week 15 despite a brief knee scare but will have a hard time repeating the effort in a tougher draw against the Packers in Week 16. | ||||
TE | 4 | 1% (–) | 153 | Ryan Griffin will be the Houston Texans leading target at tight end, but injuries at quarterback suggest a reliance on the ground game in Week 16 when the Texans face the Tennessee Titans. | ||||
W/R | 10 | 82% (+4) | 59 | Jeremy Maclin scored his fourth touchdown in his last four games in Week 15's win over the Ravens, and now faces a Browns defense that's allowed 29 passing TDs on the season, fifth-worst in the league. | ||||
BN | 0 | 18% (–) | 1929 | |||||
BN | 7 | 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 | 5 | 22% (–) | 158 | Ronnie Hillman saw a majority of carries last week but was unproductive with them, and now faces a Bengals defense Monday that ranks eighth in rushing yards allowed (93.2 per game). | ||||
BN | 5 | 16% (-3) | 196 | Though James Starks showed some spark while Eddie Lacy sputtered again last Sunday, he caught only one pass and now faces a Cardinals defense that has not allowed an opposing rusher to top 69 yards since Week 6 and is allowing just 86.7 rushing yards per game. | ||||
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. | ||||
