Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 23 | 86% (+2) | 1 | Cam Newton made quick work of the Falcons two weeks ago, and the only thing that can stop him this week is a quick hook as he prepares for the playoffs. | ||||
WR | 9 | 91% (+3) | 65 | Demaryius Thomas is coming off his first multi-TD performance of the season, but faces a Bengals defense Monday that's tied for third in the league with just 16 passing TDs allowed on the season. | ||||
WR | 10 | 77% (+12) | 52 | The Jaguars have allowed six 100-yard receivers this season including in each of the past three weeks and Brandin Cooks looks primed to make it four in a row if Drew Brees’ foot holds up. | ||||
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 | 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). | ||||
TE | 6 | 55% (-1) | 100 | Jason Witten hauled in all five targets for 49 yards against the Jets but has yet to find the end zone since the opener. | ||||
W/R | 10 | 53% (+1) | 61 | Floyd led the Arizona passing game in catches (five) and receiving yards (70) but failed to find the end zone in a Week 15 win but should benefit from a closer game in a Week 16 game against the Packers. | ||||
BN | 10 | 10% (+4) | 69 | Spencer Ware was active but failed to touch the ball last week as he recovers from a rib injury, but if he's able to handle a bigger workload Sunday he'll be facing a Browns defense allowing 134.9 rushing yards a game, 31st in the league. | ||||
BN | 7 | 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 | 6 | 12% (+1) | 128 | Ellington continues to remain sidelined with turf toe and would appear to have a diminishing role upon his eventual return with the emergence of David Johnson as Arizona prepares for a matchup with the Packers in Week 16. | ||||
BN | 7 | 19% (+11) | 117 | Markus Wheaton caught six passes for 62 yards and a touchdown on Sunday against the Denver Broncos, fourth straight game with at least 60 yards and/or a touchdowns, 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. | ||||
BN | 22 | 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). | ||||
