Russell Gage A Flex Option In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is a flex play this week. Gage has had an elevated role recently with Julio Jones not being able to play due to a hamstring injury. The WR has seen at least five targets in the last six games and has hauled in at least 51 yards in four […]

Calvin Ridley A WR1 For Week 16

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley is a WR1 for Week 16 against Kansas City. Ridley is the unquestioned WR1 on the team with Julio Jones out once again due to a hamstring injury. The WR has been incredible the past three games, getting at least 10 targets and 108 yards in all three contests. […]

Todd Gurley II Not A Viable Starter

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II has now become the RB2 on the team for the last two games after Ito Smith was assigned the lead role. In the past few games, Gurley hasn't performed well at all. He has had less than 10 carries and 30 rushing yards in the past four games, […]

Ito Smith A Flex Option In Deep Leagues

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith is a flex play, at best, this week. The back has now taken the lead role for the remainder of the season, jumping above Todd Gurley II. Smith has had double-digit carries in two of the past four games and at least 36 yards rushing in three of the […]

Matt Ryan A QB2 In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is a QB2 this week against the Chiefs. Last week, the QB posted 356 yards and three touchdowns and has at least 220 yards passing in the last three games. This contest with the Chiefs could be a shootout, so Ryan is a fine QB2 against a team that is […]

Jared Cook Has Season-High 82 Yards

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook recorded three receptions for a season-high 82 yards on four targets in Week 16. With Michael Thomas out for the regular season, Cook saw a lot more looks in the contest. Overall, the TE has now seen at least four targets in the past four games. The Panthers […]

Emmanuel Sanders Gets 83 Yards

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders finished with four receptions for 83 yards on five targets in Friday's win over the Vikings. Sanders has now had at least four receptions and 48 yards in three of the past four games along with at least five targets in the past four games. With Michael Thomas […]

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray had 12 carries for 72 yards and three receptions for 24 yards on three targets in Friday's win over Minnesota. After a three-game stretch with single-digit carries and less than 20 rushing yards, Murray was productive once again. Overall, the back has had a generally decent role this […]

Alvin Kamara Records Six Touchdowns

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara had a truly monster game on Friday, getting 22 carries for 155 yards and six touchdowns along with three receptions for 17 yards on five targets. It was the most impressive performance of the RB's career as he single-handedly carried this offense in the game. Due to his […]

Drew Brees Throws For 311 Yards

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees went 19-for-26 for 311 yards and two picks in Friday's win over the Vikings. In two games since returning from injury, Brees has tossed for at least 234 yards in both contests but it's also worth noting he has three interceptions as well in that span. In the season […]

Wil Lutz A Strong Starting Option

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz is a fine starting option this week. Though he has missed his last three field-goal attempts, they were all from beyond 40 yards. Overall, the kicker has gone 20-for-25 in field goals and 47-for-47 in extra-point attempts this season, so he is very reliable. The Vikings allow the fourth-most […]

Saints Defense A Low-End Starting Option

The New Orleans Saints Defense is a low-end starting option this week against the Vikings. Last week, this unit had four sacks and 11 QB hits against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in a close loss, which is impressive. The Vikings have talented playmakers such as Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, and Dalvin Cook, so the […]

Jared Cook A TE2 In Week 16

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook is a TE2 this week against the Vikings. Though he hasn't posted more than 37 yards in the past three games, Cook has seen at least four targets in that same three-game span. Overall, his role is small on this offense, but the absence of Michael Thomas could […]

Emmanuel Sanders A WR3 Against Vikings

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders should be viewed as a WR3 this week. Sanders has seen at least five targets in four of the last five games along with at least 48 yards in three of those five games. With Michael Thomas out for the rest of the season (ankle), Sanders is the […]

Latavius Murray A Flex For Week 16

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray is only a flex option, at best, in Week 16 against the Vikings on Christmas Day this Friday. In the past three games, Murray has had single-digit carries and under 20 rushing yards. Though he did have a receiving touchdown in Week 15 in the loss to the […]

Alvin Kamara An RB1 In Week 16

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is an RB1 this week against the Vikings. The RB now has at least 50 yards rushing in the past four games along with at least six targets and 40 yards receiving in the past two games. His high volume in this offense keeps him in the RB1 […]

Drew Brees A QB2 Against Vikings

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is a QB2 this week against the Vikings.

Cameron Brate Has Season-High 54 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate had four receptions for 54 yards on four targets in Week 15. Brate posted a season-high in yards and now has at least 30 yards in four of the past six games. The TE will always be behind Rob Gronkowski for targets, so he is only worth a […]

Rob Gronkowski Sees Seven Targets

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski finished Week 15 with three receptions for 29 yards on seven targets. Gronk now has under 30 yards in three of the past four games despite seeing at least six targets in three of the past four games as well. Overall, the TE hasn't been as dominant this […]

Chris Godwin Scores Touchdown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin had four receptions for 36 yards and a score on five targets in the Week 15 win over the Falcons. In the past two games, Godwin has posted less than 40 yards though he has gotten at least six targets in eight of 10 games played this season. […]

Mike Evans Has 110 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans had six receptions for 110 yards on seven targets in Week 15. Evans has seen at least seven targets in four of the past five games though his yardage totals usually vary. Nevertheless, the WR has a strong role in this offense and he should be considered a […]

Leonard Fournette Has Two Rushing Touchdowns

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette ended Week 15 with 14 carries for 49 yards and two rushing touchdowns along with three receptions for 16 yards on five targets. Fournette had a great performance due to Ronald Jones II missing the contest as a result of being on the COVID list. If Jones returns […]

Tom Brady Throws For 390 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady went 31-for-45 for 390 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the Falcons. Brady was terrific in this contest but has been rather hot and cold in his numbers overall this season. The QB has thrown for at least 300 yards in three of the past five games, […]

Ian Thomas Gets 29 Yards

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas hauled in three receptions for 29 yards on four targets in Saturday's loss to Green Bay. In the past two games, the TE has had three receptions, four targets, and over 20 yards. Nevertheless, those are very modest numbers and the TE has only gotten double-digit yards in three […]

Robby Anderson Finishes With 21 Yards

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson hauled in two receptions for 21 yards on five targets in Week 15. It was a rather disappointing game for Anderson, who has normally shined each week this season. The WR still had at least seven targets and 46 yards in the three games prior to Week 15, so […]

Curtis Samuel Has Nine Targets

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel finished with four receptions for 42 yards on nine targets in the Week 15 loss to the Packers. Samuel now has at least nine targets in four of the past six games and has become a bigger part of this offense as of late. The WR also has at […]
