Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 22.26 | 11% (–) | 37 | Jay Cutler has two touchdown passes in consecutive games, and assuming the Bears don't simply go through the motions, he'll face a Buccaneers secondary that has allowed 28 scores through the air, tied for the sixth most in the league. | ||||
WR | 10.15 | 81% (+1) | 67 | Sammy Watkins has three 100-yard games and six touchdowns over his last four contests, but faces a Dallas Cowboys defense allowing just 15 passing touchdowns this season, which is second in the NFL. | ||||
WR | 9.25 | 43% (+5) | 86 | Allen Hurns has been dealing with a thigh injury as he and the Jacksonville Jaguars prepare for a Week 16 meeting with the New Orleans Saints, who rank 30th in passing defense (276.4 ypg). | ||||
RB | 15.48 | 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. | ||||
RB | 11.31 | 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 | 5.76 | 17% (-2) | 133 | Austin Seferian-Jenkins has struggled since returning from his injury three weeks ago and gets a tough matchup against the Bears this week. | ||||
W/T | 7.86 | 21% (+10) | 123 | Despite scoring twice last Sunday, Stefon Diggs has three or fewer catches in three straight games, making him a risky proposition despite an inviting matchup against the league's worst secondary in the Giants, who are allowing 308 yards per game. | ||||
W/R/T | 9.82 | 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. | ||||
Q/W/R/T | 30.32 | 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 | 8.29 | 44% (-1) | 93 | Lockett (five catches, 55 yards) scored for the third time in two weeks and continues to benefit from the resurrection of the Seattle passing game following the injury to tight end Jimmy Graham and has another exploitable matchup against the Rams in Week 16. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 45% (-48) | 2350 | LeSean McCoy was held in check this past Sunday, but should be able to rebound against a Dallas Cowboys defense allowing 110.9 rushing yards per game, which is 18th in the NFL. | ||||
BN | 21.70 | 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). | ||||
BN | 7.71 | 28% (–) | 125 | Davante Adams does not have a catch longer than eight yards in his last four games despite averaging 7.3 targets in that span, giving him little upside in a matchup with the Cardinals 10th ranked pass defense. | ||||
BN | 7.83 | 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. | ||||
BN | 10.15 | 22% (+2) | 75 | Jeremy Langford has 11 or more carries in eight straight games, but has not scored in three weeks while Matt Forte has reached the end zone in each contest, setting Langford up for another complimentary role Sunday against a ninth ranked Buccaneers rush defense. |

K | 7.90 | 52% (+2) | 202 | Cairo Santos connected on all his attempts last week, including his fourth FG from 50 or more yards in eight tries on the season, and faces a Browns defense Sunday allowing 27.6 points per game, 31st in the league. |
