QB | 49 | 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 | 26 | 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 | 25 | 68% (-2) | 101 | T.Y. Hilton has been up and down all season but has a potentially good week coming up in Week 16 when the Indianapolis Colts face off against the Miami Dolphins, who rank 31st in passing touchdowns allowed (31). | ||||
WR | 31 | 82% (+12) | 27 | Martavis Bryant caught 10 passes for 87 yards on Sunday against the number one pass defense in the NFL in terms of yardage, the Denver Broncos, but 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 | 18 | 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. | ||||
RB | (Empty) | 0 | 0% (–) | - | ||||
TE | 19 | 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 | 20 | 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 | 15 | 63% (-11) | 116 | Jeremy Hill rushed 19 times for 31 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, not managing many yards but churning up the carries and getting into the endzone twice though also losing a fumble, but 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 | 17 | 30% (+4) | 109 | Zach Ertz had a team-high 13 targets in the loss to Arizona, hauling in a touchdown pass among his eight catches, and has 176 yard receiving the past two weeks. | ||||
BN | 11 | 4% (-11) | 226 | Brown (nine carries, 43 yards) took a back seat to Christine Michael (16 carries, 84 yards) in the first game since running back Thomas Rawls was lost for the season and figures to remain behind the more familiar Michael for a Week 16 matchup against the Rams. | ||||
BN | 14 | 12% (+4) | 131 | Alfred Blue had a big game in Week 15 after getting over a back injury and will be atop the Houston Texans' running-back rotation in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans, who rank 17th in rushing defense (110.1 ypg). | ||||
BN | 0 | 9% (–) | 2402 | |||||
BN | 27 | 2% (–) | 40 | Johnny Manziel completed 19 of 31 pass attempts for 161 yards, a touchdown and an interception while also rushing twice for 12 yards against the Seattle Seahawks, and in Week 16 he faces a solid but less menacing Kansas City Chiefs defensive unit that is 17th in the NFL with 243.2 yards per game allowed through the air. | ||||
