Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 19 | 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 | 11 | 96% (-2) | 46 | Julio Jones will need to play up to every bit of his ability against Josh Norman and the Panthers if the Falcons are to win on Sunday. | ||||
WR | 9 | 86% (-12) | 77 | A.J. Green was dealing with a back injury and had his lowest output of the season on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers with only one reception for 37 yards, and this week he faces a match-up against a Denver Broncos defense that leads the NFL with only 200.0 passing yards allowed per game but that was just torched in Week 15 by Antonio Brown to the tune of 16 receptions for 189 yards and two touchdowns. | ||||
RB | 9 | 62% (-12) | 79 | Chris Ivory is the second-leading rusher in the AFC, but has ceded touches to Bilal Powell in recent weeks, and has just one touchdown in his last six games. | ||||
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 | 10 | 71% (+3) | 41 | Jordan Reed had seven catches for 84 yards and two scores against Buffalo, giving him 16 catches, three touchdowns and 204 yards the past two games. | ||||
W/R | 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. | ||||
W/R/T | 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. | ||||
BN | 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. | ||||
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 | 17 | 51% (-3) | 10 | Matthew Stafford has 12 touchdowns and one interception in his last four outings, but faces a 49ers defense that has surrendered only two touchdown passes in their last four games. | ||||
BN | 0 | 20% (–) | 2412 | |||||
BN | 21 | 65% (-6) | 4 | If Drew Brees can play—a big if with a torn plantar fascia—he’ll have a great matchup against the bottom-three Jags secondary. | ||||
BN | 10 | 62% (+18) | 60 | DeSean Jackson rebounded a two-catch, 43-yard effort with a season-high 153-yard outburst against Buffalo that also included a customary long touchdown for the talented wideout. | ||||
BN | 8 | 16% (+6) | 91 | Ryan Matthews led the Eagles' backfield with 11 carries in the loss to Arizona and appears to have taken over the reigns as the lead back, but also fumbled twice. | ||||
IR | 0 | 3% (-1) | 2308 | |||||

K | 9 | 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. | ||||
BN | 9 | 24% (–) | 207 | Sebastian Janikowski kicked multiple field goals last week for the first time in four games, but faces a Chargers defense Thursday that he had his one of his best games of the season against in Week 7, connecting on three field goals and four PATs. | ||||
