Derrick Henry Racks Up 126 Yards In Loss

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed 23 times for 126 and a touchdown in the loss to the Houston Texans in Week 16, Henry has feasted on the Texans in each of the last five meetings, but this was actually his worst fantasy output against them over that span. Henry remains a must-start against […]

Malik Willis Rushes For Touchdown In Loss

Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis completed 14 of his 23 passes for 99 yards and two interceptions but added seven rushes for 43 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Houston Texans. Needless to say, he was far from a solid fantasy option in Week 16. Ryan Tannehill (ankle) will likely be out […]

Michael Badgley Makes Three Kicks In Loss

Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley made his only field goal attempt and both of his extra point attempts in the loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. Badgley was a popular streaming option since he's been the No. 2 fantasy kicker since Week 10, but it was a down performance overall. That said, he'll […]

Lions Defense Busts In Week 16

The Detroit Lions fantasy defense/special teams was a popular sleeper for Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers, but they gave up 250 yards passing, 320 yards rushing, and 37 points in the embarrassing loss. No matter how favorable the matchup seems, the Lions' defense is simply too awful to consider them as a fantasy-relevant option.

DJ Chark Totals 108 Yards In Loss

Detroit Lions wide receiver DJ Chark caught four of his five targets for 108 yards in the loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. That said, he was a fine PPR flex play, but he didn't boom in a major way. Chark will face a mid-tier matchup for fantasy wide receivers in Week 17 […]

Shane Zylstra Catches Three Touchdowns In Loss

Detroit Lions wide receiver Shane Zylstra came into Week 16 with just eight career catches, but against the Carolina Panthers, he caught five passes for 26 yards and three touchdowns. Unfortunately, he was nowhere close to the fantasy radar, so it didn't help anyone in the fantasy football playoffs. Since this was just a one-game […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Draws 13 Targets

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught seven of his 13 targets for 76 yards in the loss to the Carolina Panthers. Jared Goff threw three touchdowns in this contest, but all went to wide receiver Shane Zylstra. St. Brown essentially had a floor performance in Week 16, but he wasn't a total bust […]

D'Andre Swift Totals 25 Yards On Five Touches

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift rushed four times for 12 yards and caught just one of his five targets for 13 yards in the loss to the Carolina Panthers. Swift continues to draw enough targets to be a fantasy-relevant running back in PPR leagues, but he was not able to deliver for fantasy managers […]

Jamaal Williams Totals 14 Yards In Loss

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams rushed just seven times for 11 yards and caught two passes for three yards in the loss to the Carolina Panthers. Williams has now failed to reach 4.0 fantasy points in three straight games and is close to falling off the fantasy radar. His Week 17 opponent, the Chicago […]

Jared Goff Booms Against Panthers

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 25 of his 42 passing attempts for 355 yards and three touchdowns in the loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. It was a neutral matchup for quarterbacks but Goff paid off for fantasy managers who trusted him. The Lions' defense returned to looking putrid, so another high-volume […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For TEs: Dallas Goedert, Hayden Hurst, Noah Fant, Adam Trautman

The fantasy football playoffs march on and figuring out which tight end to start in lineups this week could be the difference between winning and losing a fantasy tile. As always, injuries are a factor. The statuses of Dallas Goedert, Hayden Hurst, Noah Fant, and Adam Trautman are up in the air. We have the […]

Nico Collins Done For The Season

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (foot) has been placed on Injured Reserve, effectively ending his second season in the NFL. Collins finishes his sophomore campaign with 37 receptions, 481 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns. In the context of the lifeless Houston Texans offense, it wasn't a horrible season, but there's obviously plenty of […]

CeeDee Lamb Faces Tough Matchup Versus Eagles

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will match up with Darius Slay, James Bradberry, and the fierce Philadelphia Eagles' passing defense in Week 16. The Eagles have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season, but since Lamb is the No. 7 fantasy receiver at this point in the season, he remains a […]

Tony Pollard Remains A Must-Start Against Eagles

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard has scored the second-most fantasy points among running backs in all formats since Week 10 and remains a must-start against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16. The strength of the Eagles' defense is its pass rush and secondary, so Dallas could lean on the run more than ever in […]

Dak Prescott Draws Tough Matchup In Week 16

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is set to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16, a team that has allowed the second-fewest fantasy point to quarterbacks through 15 weeks of the season. Prescott is in the tier of quarterbacks that can deliver in tough matchups, but it's worth noting his upside could be capped by […]

Is Colt McCoy Or Trace McSorley Starting In Week 16 Fantasy Football?

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) is out for the remainder of the 2022 NFL season, so Colt McCoy got the start in Week 16 against the Denver Broncos. However, McCoy got banged up in the second half, putting fourth-year quarterback Trace McSorley in a position to potentially start his first game in the NFL. […]

Chris Streveler Totals 114 Yards Versus Jaguars

New York Jets quarterback Chris Streveler came in the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night in relief for a struggling Zach Wilson in the second half. Streveler sparked the offense just a bit, completed 10 of his 15 passes for 90 yards, and rushed nine times for 54 yards. Ultimately, Streveler won't enter […]

Elijah Moore Posts 15 Yards In Loss

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore caught two of his three targets for 15 yards in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football in Week 16. Moore, Garrett Wilson, and Corey Davis all have capped ceilings with Zach Wilson or Chris Streveler at quarterback, but Mike White (ribs) could return in […]

Corey Davis Hauls In Just Two Of Seven Targets

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis caught just two passes for 14 yards on seven targets in the Week 16 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football. Davis missed the Week 15 game against the Detroit Lions with a concussion, but he failed to produce anything in his return to the lineup. […]

Garrett Wilson Totals 30 Yards On Nine Targets

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught just four of his nine targets for 30 yards in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday Night Football in Week 16. The quarterback duo of Zach Wilson and Chris Streveler is far from ideal for the stud rookie wide receiver, so his ceiling is capped […]

Hayden Hurst Won't Play In Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Hayden Hurst (calf) has been downgraded to out against the New England Patriots in Week 16. Hurst has missed the last two games against the Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will miss his third straight on Saturday. In his absence, tight end Mitchell Wilcox has caught just four of […]

Is Kenny Pickett Or Mitchell Trubisky Starting In Week 16 Fantasy Football?

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks Kenny Pickett and Mitchell Trubisky have each started at least four games this season, and in Week 15, it was Trubisky who started or an injured Pickett. Since Pickett is a rookie quarterback taken in the first round that has already won the starting job, this decision by head coach Mike Tomlin […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For Week 16 (Friday Updates): Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, Russell Wilson, Kenneth Walker, Nick Chubb

Injuries are a never-ending saga in the NFL, and fantasy managers have to be ready to pivot when key players get banged up. The fantasy football playoffs have moved to the second round, so it's time to pay extra attention to injury updates for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday games. Our injury updates and reports for […]

Michael Badgley A Strong Streaming Option

Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley is a strong streaming option against the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. Since Week 10, Badgley is the No. 2 overall kicker in total fantasy points. The Lions' offense continues to impress, and even when it stalls, they at least get in field goal range. The freezing-cold temperatures could affect […]

Lions Defense Close To Fantasy Radar

The Detroit Lions fantasy defense/special teams got out to a disastrous start in 2022, but have since settled in and now rank as the 23rd fantasy D/ST through 15 weeks. The Carolina Panthers present a neutral matchup for fantasy defense/special teams units, but Sam Darnold and the Carolina offense aren't quite bad enough to make […]

D.J. Chark A Boom-Or-Bust Flex Option

Detroit Lions wide receiver D.J. Chark totaled 11 receptions for 192 yards and a touchdown in Weeks 13 and 14 but posted just one catch for 18 yards in the win over the New York Jets in Week 14. He's been a boom-or-bust fantasy asset for much of his career, and he carries that outlook […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Draws Tough Week 16 Matchup

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is obviously a must-start fantasy option, but it's worth noting he draws a tough matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. The Panthers have allowed the 10th-most fantasy point to wide receivers this season, but against slot receivers, they've allowed the fifth-fewest receptions and yards. That said, […]

Jamaal Williams Remains A Touchdown-Or-Bust RB

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams has failed to reach 4.0 fantasy points in standard and PPR leagues in his last two games and hasn't eclipsed 10.6 fantasy points since Week 11 against the New York Giants. D'Andre Swift and Justin Jackson continue to eat into his workload, and Williams hasn't caught a pass since […]

D'Andre Swift A Risk Worth Taking

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift has been about as up and down as running backs come in fantasy football, but he's finally healthy and continues to have a high ceiling thanks to his pass-catching upside. Swift has seen an average of 6.75 targets over his last four games, so in PPR leagues, he's worth […]

Jared Goff Faces Tough Road Test

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff goes on the road to face the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. In road starts this season, Goff has thrown for just three touchdowns to four interceptions. At home, he's thrown 20 touchdowns with just three interceptions. Charlotte will see subfreezing temperatures on Saturday, and the game total is set […]
