WR | 11 | 44% (-1) | 93 | Lockett (five catches, 55 yards) scored for the third time in two weeks and continues to benefit from the resurrection of the Seattle passing game following the injury to tight end Jimmy Graham and has another exploitable matchup against the Rams in Week 16. | ||||
RB | 10 | 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. | ||||
RB | 13 | 65% (+13) | 47 | Darren McFadden had 16 carries for 100 yards in the loss to the Jets for his second straight game of over 100 yards. | ||||

BN | 0 | 11% (+2) | 2280 | Steve Johnson remains hampered by a groin injury and is questionable against the Raiders on Thursday, but if he is able to play he'll be facing a defense that's allowed 265.6 passing yards per game, fifth-worst in the league. | ||||
BN | 9 | 15% (+3) | 105 | Antonio Andrews remains the Tennessee Titans' lead back as they look to play spoiler in a Week 16 divisional game against the Houston Texans, who rank 16th in rushing defense (109.6 ypg). | ||||
BN | 9 | 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. | ||||

BN | 7 | 12% (-1) | 165 | Vernon Davis caught just one pass last week, and now faces a Bengals defense Monday that's been very tough on opposition tight ends, allowing only one TD to them all season. | ||||
