Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 19 | 27% (-4) | 21 | Tyrod Taylor passed for 235 yards and two touchdowns this past Sunday, but faces a Dallas Cowboys defense in the top-10 in the NFL in both passing yards and passing touchdowns allowed. | ||||
WR | 10 | 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 | 15 | 98% (–) | 11 | Antonio Brown detonated for 16 receptions, 189 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday against the number one ranked pass defense in the NFL in terms of yardage, the Denver Broncos, and in Week 16 he has a much more favorable match-up against a Baltimore Ravens defense that is 15th in the NFL with 242.3 passing yards allowed per game but 27th with 28 passing touchdowns allowed. | ||||
RB | 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. | ||||
RB | 0 | 20% (-1) | 2349 | T.J. Yeldon is dealing with a knee injury leading up to Week 16 when the Jacksonville Jaguars face the New Orleans Saints, who rank last in both rushing yards per attempt (5.1) and per game (137.1). | ||||
TE | 0 | 18% (-2) | 1832 | Tyler Eifert remains in the league's concussion protocol and as of Tuesday has been unable to take part in football activities, so his availability remains very questionable for Monday Night's huge showdown against the Denver Broncos. | ||||
W/R/T | 9 | 55% (+1) | 72 | Brown dropped a pair of early TD passes that would have resulted in a huge game but at least salvaged the day somewhat with a third quarter score from Carson Palmer and should be able to get back on track against the Packers in Week 16. | ||||
BN | 0 | 8% (-5) | 2528 | Marcus Mariota (knee) has been ruled out of the Tennessee Titans' Week 16 game against the Houston Texans. | ||||
BN | 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 | 0 | 15% (-6) | 2318 | Matt Jones managed 10 carries in the win over Buffalo but continues to disappoint with a poor 3.4 YPC on the year. | ||||
BN | 0 | 9% (–) | 2402 | |||||
BN | 5 | 5% (–) | 191 | Wright has been dealing with knee and rib injuries the last month as the Tennessee Titans get set for their Week 16 game against the Houston Texans, who ran second in passing defense (211.1 ypg). | ||||
BN | 6 | 4% (–) | 167 | Malcom Floyd has struggled in four games since returning from a shoulder injury, but faces a Raiders defense Thursday that's allowed 265.6 passing yards per game, fifth-worst in the league. | ||||
BN | 5 | 11% (–) | 237 | Duke Johnson rushed four times for 46 yards and grabbed five receptions for 39 more yards to out-gain starter Isaiah Crowell 85 yards to 30, and this week he matches up with a stout Kansas City Chiefs defense (7th in NFL with 92.2 yards allowed per game on the ground) that is more vulnerable through the air (17th in NFL with 243.2 passing yards per game allowed). | ||||
BN | 7 | 9% (–) | 146 | Terrance Williams had just two catches for 13 yards against the Jets and has been held to fewer than five catches for every game since the opener. | ||||
BN | 4 | 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. | ||||

K | 8 | 6% (+1) | 182 | Jason Myers has managed to hold onto his job despite missing an astounding seven extra-point kicks this season, but could be in line for a big Week 16 when the Jacksonville Jaguars face the New Orleans Saints, who rank last in scoring defense (30.9 ppg). | ||||
