Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 15 | 67% (-6) | 6 | Palmer's off-night (274 yards, one touchdown) may have sunk some playoff hopes but a pair of costly drops by wideout John Brown contributed to the cause greatly and he figures to get back on track in what should be a closer game against the Packers in Week 16. | ||||
WR | 11 | 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. | ||||
WR | 13 | 74% (+5) | 56 | Golden Tate has four touchdowns in his last two games and could continue to function as the team's top receiving threat with Calvin Johnson's ankle less than 100 percent, but faces a challenging matchup against a 49ers defense that has not allowed a receiver to score in four straight games. | ||||
RB | 8 | 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 | 7 | 13% (-2) | 180 | Theo Riddick was a forgotten man in Week 15, and while his pass catching ability figures to keep his value for bottoming out, backfield mates Joique Bell and Ameer Abdullah are suddenly running well heading into a matchup with the 49ers 27th ranked rush defense, which could again limited Riddick's chances. | ||||
TE | 8 | 65% (-3) | 87 | Gary Barnidge caught three passes for 29 yards and a touchdown against the Seattle Seahawks' Legion of Boom on Sunday, giving him at least 50 yards and/or a touchdown in 11 of his last 12 games, but this week he faces a tough match-up against a Kansas City Chiefs defense that is number one in the NFL in limiting production to opposing tight ends. | ||||
W/R/T | 11 | 7% (+2) | 114 | |||||
BN | 0 | 53% (-38) | 2180 | Alshon Jeffery would be in line for his usual heavy workload in an inviting matchup against a Buccaneers defense that has allowed 20 touchdown receptions to receivers this season, provided he can play through a hamstring injury that limited him last Sunday. | ||||
BN | 8 | 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. | ||||
BN | 6 | 29% (+5) | 119 | Coming off of his best rushing performance of his career, Ameer Abdullah faces a 49ers defense that is allowing 128.6 yards per game and a league-high 18 rushing touchdowns. | ||||
BN | 5 | 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 | 5 | 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 | 4 | 22% (–) | 158 | Ronnie Hillman saw a majority of carries last week but was unproductive with them, and now faces a Bengals defense Monday that ranks eighth in rushing yards allowed (93.2 per game). | ||||

K | 8 | 73% (–) | 206 | Graham Gano’s blocked field goal almost cost the Panthers’ the game, but he’s still 27-for-33 on the season with a league-leading 50 made extra points. | ||||
