[HOU - DeShaun Watson has huge performance](#34) 35. [CIN - TE C.J. Uzomah catches four passes](#35) 36. [CIN - RB Joe Mixon rushes for 68 yards](#36) 37. [CIN - QB Jeff Driskel throws two touchdowns](#37) 38. [ATL - RB Tevin Coleman injured](#38) 39. [IND - Ryan Kelly to miss rest of Week 16](#39) 40. [IND - TE Eric Ebron out with concussion](#40) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 1. [HOU - WR Demaryius Thomas carted off](=) Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport Houston Texans WR [Demaryius Thomas]( (Achilles') was carted off the field after suffering what is believed to be a torn Achilles' tendon during the Week 16 game, according to a source. He is scheduled to undergo tests to determine the severity of the injury. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Thomas is likely going to be a free agent with 14 million dollars due to him in 2019 and no cap hit if he is cut. The Texans need Keke Coutee now more than ever, and UDFA Vyncint Smith will also be called on after scoring a key touchdown today. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [NYG - Solid game for TE Evan Engram](=) Source: ESPN.com New York Giants TE [Evan Engram]( caught all six of his targets for 87 yards and rushed twice for 26 yards in a 28-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Engram has been a strong play while Odell Beckham has been out, but it's still difficult to know if he'll be consistent with Beckham on the field. He'll still be among the top 6-8 tight ends drafted next year. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [DAL - QB Dak Prescott totals two touchdowns]() Source: 1 No Source Dallas Cowboys QB [Dak Prescott]( complted 20-of-25 passes for 161 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions while posting a rushing touchdown in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Prescott had a solid fantasy outing, but not a week tilter. The Cowboys have nothing to play for next week, so he should sit for most or all of the game. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [NYG - RB Saquon Barkley bottled up](=) Source: ESPN.com New York Giants RB [Saquon Barkley]( rushed 21 times for 43 yards and a touchdown and caught five passes for 34 yards in a 28-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Colts corralled Barkley for most of the day, but he was still a success in PPR leagues. His floor games are better than many running backs ceiling games. He'll be a consideration in the top three picks next year. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [NYG - QB Eli Manning tops 300 yards](=) Source: ESPN.com New York Giants QB [Eli Manning]( completed 25 of his 33 passes for 309 yards, a touchdown and an interception in a 28-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. He also added a rushing score. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Manning is doing enough to make the Giants entertain keeping him next year, which might not be seen as a great outcome by some (or all sane) Giants fans. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [TB - WR Adam Humphries snags 10 balls]() Source: 1 No Source Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Adam Humphries]( registered 10 receptions for 79 yards on 12 targets in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Humphries will be a free agent this year and could be a high volume receiver in the right offense. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [TB - WR Mike Evans posts 90 yards, TD]() Source: 1 No Source Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR [Mike Evans]( posted six receptions for 90 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Evans got the touchdown in garbage time, but the points count just the same. He has had an up and down second half without the early season peaks and certainly faces significant uncertainty in his situation this offseason. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 8. [TB - QB Jameis Winston goes over 300 yards]() Source: 1 No Source Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB [Jameis Winston]( completed 34-of-48 passes for 336 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in the Week 16 game against the Dallas Cowboys. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Winston had a nice game on volume, but who knows where he will play and if he stays in Tampa, what the offense will look like next year. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 9. [DET - WR Kenny Golladay targeted 15 times]( Source: 1 No Source Detroit Lions WR [Kenny Golladay]( finished with six receptions for 58 yards on 15 targets in Week 16 against the Minnesota Vikings. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Golladay's result was acceptable in PPR leagues, but still a letdown considering the number of targets he got. He has a good matchup against the Packers next week, but his quarterback Matthew Stafford is wearing down. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 10. [MIN - WR Stefon Diggs gets into end zone]( Source: 1 No Source Minnesota Vikings WR [Stefon Diggs]( managed two grabs for just 10 yards in Week 16 against the Detroit Lions but at least he was able to score a touchdown. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Vikings receivers aren't the engine of the offense any more. Diggs is more WR3/Flex than WR2 against the Bears in Week 17 Superbowls next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 11. [NE - Six receptions for WR Julian Edelman](=) Source: NFL.com New England Patriots WR [Julian Edelman]( caught six passes for 70 yards and one touchdown against the Buffalo Bills in Week 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Edelman had a good day because of a long touchdown that only happened because the Bills thought he was down in the tangle of bodies after the reception. He's the only part of the Patriots passing game worth a start against the Jets next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 12. [NE - RB James White finds end zone](=) Source: NFL.com New England Patriots RB [James White]( rushed for 41 yards and one touchdown on eight carries against the Buffalo Bills in Week 16. He also caught two passes for 13 yards during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] White isn't playing a big role in the passing game most weeks now, but he did have a long touchdown run to justify any flex starts this week. He'll be a what the heck flex again next week vs. the Jets. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 13. [MIN - TE Kyle Rudolph goes off in victory]( Source: 1 No Source Minnesota Vikings TE [Kyle Rudolph]( registered nine receptions for 122 yards and two touchdowns in Week 16 against the Detroit Lions. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Rudolph caught a hail mary and was otherwise featured in a bigger way than he was at any point this year. He could be a streaming consideration against the Bears next week on the heels of this massive game. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 14. [NE - RB Sony Michel rushes for 116 yards](=) Source: NFL.com New England Patriots RB [Sony Michel]( rushed for 116 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries against the Buffalo Bills in Week 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Michel had big holes to run through all day as the Patriots offensive line gouged the Bills defense. He'll likely be a central part of the game plan again next week against the Jets. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 15. [MIN - RB Dalvin Cook totals 108 scrimmage yards]( Source: 1 No Source Minnesota Vikings RB [Dalvin Cook]( ran 16 times for 73 yards in Week 16 against the Detroit Lions and he added three grabs for 35 yards on three targets. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Cook was strong against a good Lions run defense. He has come on late to show why he was so highly drafted in fantasy leagues, but faces a tough Bears defense next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 16. [NE - QB Tom Brady has disappointing performance](=) Source: NFL.com New England Patriots QB [Tom Brady]( went 13-for-24 for 126 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions against the Buffalo Bills in Week 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Brady wasn't sharp and his arm wasn't the focal point of the offensive game plan for the second straight week. He's not a QB1 against the Jets next week and he's not going to be drafted as a QB1 next year at this rate. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 17. [MIN - QB Kirk Cousins tosses three touchdowns]( Source: 1 No Source Minnesota Vikings QB [Kirk Cousins]( completed 21-of-28 passes for 253 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 16 against the Detroit Lions. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Cousins' numbers were inflated by a hail mary catch by Kyle Rudolph. He is going to be a lower volume passer in this version of the Vikings offense and won't be a QB1 against the Bears next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 18. [BUF - Robert Foster has solid performance](=) Source: NFL.com Buffalo Bills WR [Robert Foster]( caught four passes for 52 yards against the New England Patriots in Week 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Foster got an end zone target but there was a crowd around him. He wasn't a dud, but didn't come through with the big play that had been fueling recent weeks. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 19. [SF - RB Matt Breida heads to locker room]( Source: NFL Network - MJ Acosta San Francisco 49ers RB [Matt Breida]( (ankle) left the Week 16 game against the Chicago Bears in the first half due to an ankle injury and he was taken to the locker room. Breida is questionable to return. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] This is seemingly a weekly occurrence with Breida. The 49ers should rest him next week against the Rams for his own sake. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 20. [PHI - WR Alshon Jeffery posts 82 yards in win]( Source: 1 No Source Philadelphia Eagles WR [Alshon Jeffery]( picked up three receptions for 82 yards on five targets in Week 16 against the Houston Texans. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Nick Foles zeroed in on Zach Ertz in this one, which left table scraps for Jeffery. He's still a solid WR3/Flex at worst in Week 17 Super Bowls against Washington. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 21. [PHI - TE Zach Ertz has giant game in Week 16]( Source: 1 No Source Philadelphia Eagles TE [Zach Ertz]( registered 12 receptions for 110 yards and two touchdowns on 16 targets in Week 16 against the Houston Texans. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Ertz seemed to be moving into the second tier of Eagles targets last week with Nick Foles, but ended up squarely at center stage in this one, while breaking the NFL record for catches in a season by a tight end. He'll be vying with Travis Kelce to be the first tight end off of the board next year. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 22. [PHI - WR Nelson Agholor posts 116 yards, TD]( Source: 1 No Source Philadelphia Eagles WR [Nelson Agholor]( registered five grabs for 116 yards and a touchdown in Week 16 against the Houston Texans on seven targets. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Agholor got free for an 83-yard score to key his day. He is still too inconsistent to carry over much value into Week 17 against Washington, but could be in a solid role next year if Golden Tate isn't signed in free agency. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 23. [BUF - QB Josh Allen posts 247 total yards](=) Source: NFL.com Buffalo Bills QB [Josh Allen]( went 20-for-41 for 217 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions against the New England Patriots in Week 16. He also rushed for 30 yards on five carries. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Allen was contained as a runner and didn't do much as a passer until garbage time. After a solid run in fantasy leagues, he was a letdown in Week 16, but will be drafted next year in many leagues because of the weekly upside he showed. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 24. [CLE - WR Jarvis Landry finishes with 47 yards]() Source: NFL.com Cleveland Browns WR [Jarvis Landry]( caught four passes for 47 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. He also completed a 63-yard pass during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Landry is blending into a deep Browns passing game and won't be drafted as a starter in fantasy leagues next year, but he is still making splash plays as a runner and now, as a passer. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 25. [PHI - RB Darren Sproles continues to deliver]( Source: NFL Philadelphia Eagles RB [Darren Sproles]( rushed nine times for 32 yards in Week 16 against the Houston Texans and he added three grabs for 76 yards and a touchdown. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Sproles had additional red zone targets, so an even bigger fantasy day was there for him. He should be a big enough part of the offense to be a desperation play against Washington next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 26. [PHI - QB Nick Foles passes for 471 yards in win](=) Source: NBC Sports Philadelphia - Reuben Frank Philadelphia Eagles QB [Nick Foles]( completed 35-of-49 passes for 471 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in Week 16 against the Houston Texans for his fourth 400-yard game, most in franchise history. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] When Foles is good, he's historically good. He was a fantasy MVP for any team that had to plug him and he is showing a real talent for keeping the Eagles alive. He made himself some offseason money with this performance. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 27. [CLE - WR Rashard Higgins reaches end zone]() Source: NFL.com Cleveland Browns WR [Rashard Higgins]( caught six passes for 60 yards and one touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Higgins weekly target share is going to be variable, but he is executing and has made himself a part of the long-term picture in the passing game for Cleveland, which looks well-stocked despite the trade of Josh Gordon. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 28. [CLE - TE David Njoku catches TD pass]() Source: NFL.com Cleveland Browns TE [David Njoku]( caught three passes for 73 yards and one touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Njoku had a short touchdown and a huge gain to account for a nice day in the fantasy championship week. The Browns pass offense is deep, which will limit Njoku's season-long upside, but he'll still have a startable weekly ceiling. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 29. [HOU - D'Onta Foreman gets into end zone]( Source: 1 No Source Houston Texans RB D'Onta Foreman posted seven runs for minus-1 yard in Week 16 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but he stepped up with two receptions, 28 yards and a touchdown. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Foreman should get the most touches of any Texans running back next week if Lamar Miller can't go, but the running game is in a ditch on the side of the road. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 30. [HOU - DeAndre Carter steps up to fill void]( Source: 1 No Source Houston Texans WR [DeAndre Carter]( posted six receptions for 61 yards on seven targets in Week 16 against the Philadelphia Eagles. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Carter could be a huge part of the Texans passing game next week if Keke Coutee can't go against the Jaguars. He'll have sleeper appeal for Week 17 Super Bowls. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 31. [CLE - RB Nick Chubb surpasses 100-yard mark]() Source: NFL.com Cleveland Browns RB [Nick Chubb]( rushed for 112 yards on 19 carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Chubb could have had a much better fantasy day, but the passing game accounted for all three touchdowns. He'll have a dimmed outlook against the Ravens next week, but still needs to be in lineups. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 32. [CLE - Three touchdowns for QB Baker Mayfield]() Source: NFL.com Cleveland Browns QB [Baker Mayfield]( went 27-for-37 for 284 yards and three touchdowns against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. He also rushed for 16 yards on six carries during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mayfield was firing up his teammates and playing at an advanced level for a rookie. The Browns are in good hands and will have a chance to ruin the Ravens season next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 33. [HOU - RB Alfred Blue does nothing in loss]( Source: 1 No Source Houston Texans RB [Alfred Blue]( ran four times for 14 yards in Week 16 against the Philadelphia Eagles and he added four grabs for 26 yards on five targets. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Texans running game has come to a screeching halt in the last two weeks. Blue could get another start against the Jaguars but has little fantasy value in Week 17 Super Bowl. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 34. [HOU - DeShaun Watson has huge performance]( Source: 1 No Source Houston Texans QB [Deshaun Watson]( completed 29-of-40 passes for 339 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 16 against the Philadelphia Eagles and he rushed for 49 yards and two scores. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Watson was a fantasy MVP today, but the Texans defense kept his efforts from being enough to hold onto the #2 seed in the AFC. He'll have a tougher draw against the Jaguars next week in a game the team must win to secure a division title. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 35. [CIN - TE C.J. Uzomah catches four passes]() Source: NFL.com Cincinnati Bengals TE [C.J. Uzomah]( caught four passes for 49 yards and one touchdown against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Uzomah was a favorite target of Jeff Driskel's in the first matchup with the Browns and didn't disappoint streamers in this one. He could be the team's starter next year, but the Bengals will have to bring him back in free agency. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 36. [CIN - RB Joe Mixon rushes for 68 yards]() Source: NFL.com Cincinnati Bengals RB [Joe Mixon]( rushed for 68 yards on 17 carries against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16. He also caught two passes for 10 yards during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Mixon couldn't do it all himself in this one. He had one long run but otherwise wasn't able to get going against the Browns. He'll be a low ceiling RB2 at Pittsburgh next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 37. [CIN - QB Jeff Driskel throws two touchdowns]() Source: NFL.com Cincinnati Bengals QB [Jeff Driskel]( went 13-for-19 for 133 yards and two touchdowns against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16. He also rushed for 21 yards on five carries during the game. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Driskel was ineffective for most of the game but came up with two touchdowns when the contest was already decided. He did nothing to change his status as a career backup during this extended opportunity and will try to play spoiler at Pittsburgh next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 38. [ATL - RB Tevin Coleman injured]( Source: NFL.com Atlanta Falcons RB [Tevin Coleman]( (groin) suffered a groin injury during the Week 16 game and is considered questionable to return. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Coleman wasn't the most durable earlier in his career but had done a good job staying on the field this year. His first chance as a true lead back was today and this won't help his free agent market. Brian Hill was impressive in relief of Coleman and could start in Week 17 at Tampa. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 39. [IND - Ryan Kelly to miss rest of Week 16]() Source: Phillip B. Wilson - Indianapolis Colts.com Indianapolis Colts C Ryan Kelly (neck) will miss the second half of the team's Week 16 game Sunday, Dec. 23, after suffering a neck injury. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Colts running game is going to miss Kelly. The Colts will have to rely more on the pass if Kelly can't go at Tennessee next week. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 40. [IND - TE Eric Ebron out with concussion]() Source: Phillip B. Wilson - Indianapolis Colts.com Indianapolis Colts TE [Eric Ebron]( (concussion) will miss the second half of the team's Week 16 game Sunday, Dec. 23, after sustaining a concussion in the second quarter. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Ebron is no sure thing for next week in a quasi-playoff game against the Titans. He had a tremendous fantasy season despite some ups and downs and is back on the upswing after a disappointing four-year stint in Detroit.
