Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 28.49 | 73% (+14) | 5 | Ben Roethlisberger completed 40 of 55 pass attempts for 380 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions on Sunday against the number one passing defense in the NFL by yardage, the Denver Broncos, but this week 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. | ||||
WR | 18.05 | 81% (+3) | 49 | Jarvis Landry continues to be a targets monster, and should have no issues with a Colts defense allowing 267 passing yards per game, which is 29th in the league. | ||||
WR | 14.97 | 77% (-3) | 68 | Randall Cobb has not caught a touchdown pass in four straight games and has been held to 40 yards or less in three of his last five outings, making him difficult to rely against the Cardinals, even with corner Tyrann Mathieu sidelined by a knee injury. | ||||
RB | 21.75 | 86% (-1) | 16 | Devonta Freeman had one of his worst games of the season against the Panthers two weeks ago and could struggle once again. | ||||
RB | 0.00 | 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 | 10.71 | 15% (-1) | 104 | Heath Miller caught three passes for only 12 yards on Sunday against the Denver Broncos, a disappointing output on a day when Ben Roethlisberger three 55 passes for 380 yards and two touchdowns, but this week he has a 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. | ||||
W/R/T | 14.79 | 63% (-2) | 70 | Michael Crabtree hasn't topped 100 receiving yards in six games, scoring only two touchdowns during that stretch, but he faces a Chargers defense Thursday that he posted a 6-63-1 line against back in Week 7. | ||||
BN | 12.05 | 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. | ||||
BN | 22.43 | 24% (–) | 20 | Ryan Tannehill has just two touchdown passes in his last three games, but faces an Indianapolis Colts defense that has allowed 28 throwing scorers in 2015, which is tied for 22nd in the NFL. | ||||
BN | 11.08 | 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. | ||||
BN | 7.58 | 20% (–) | 1813 | Andre Johnson has fallen off the radar with just 10 catches in the last six games as the Indianapolis Colts enter their Week 16 game against the Miami Dolphins. | ||||
BN | 9.13 | 13% (-2) | 141 | Jacob Tamme struggled last time out against the Panthers (four receptions, 26 yards) and is coming off a no-catch performance last week, making him a player to avoid this week. | ||||
BN | 12.08 | 24% (+5) | 82 | Zach Miller has five or more targets in five of his last six games and with the Bears receiving corps depleted by injury, he should see ample chances against a Buccaneers defense that has allowed opposing tight ends to top 63 yards in consecutive weeks, but have not allowed a tight end to score since Week 8. | ||||
Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Kickers | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
K | 8.29 | 63% (-3) | 179 | Justin Tucker did not have a field goal attempt but did make both extra point attempts on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he takes his average of 2.0 made field goals per game into a Week 16 match-up with a Pittsburgh Steelers unit that has allowed only 1.4 made field goals per game, ninth in the NFL. | ||||
