OwnersBox Quarterbacks
Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers) vs. TEN
Rodgers let down against the Carolina Panthers in Week 15 but look for him to bounce back in a prime matchup against the Titans in Week 16. Tennessee has a non-existent pass rush and one of the weakest secondaries in the league, a combination that has allowed opposing passing attacks to shred them all season. The Titans rank 30th in pass-defense DVOA according to Football Outsiders and are allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game to the QB position.
Also consider: Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs) vs. ATL
Tom Brady (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) @DET, vs. ATL
Brady draws two excellent matchups to wrap up his first season with the Buccaneers. He will face off against a weak Detroit defense in the dome in Week 16. The Lions are putting the finishing touches on another disappointing season in Motown and don't have much left to play for. Their pass defense ranks 31st in DVOA and they are allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to signal-callers.
Tampa Bay finishes off the regular season with a home game against the Falcons. Atlanta's defense has been better of late but they still aren't a unit to get concerned about in fantasy. The Falcons rank 19th in pass-defense DVOA and coughed up 390 passing yards and two scores to Brady when they played in Week 15.
Also consider: Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers) vs. TEN, @CHI
OwnersBox Running Backs
David Montgomery (Chicago Bears) @JAX
Montgomery isn't really a special talent but he has been taking advantage of an extremely favorable schedule, posting five touchdowns over the past three games. He draws another prime matchup against Jacksonville in Week 16. The Jaguars have been extremely generous to opposing running backs, allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to the position. Chicago should be able to build an early lead and lean on Montgomery to salt away the game in this one.
Also consider: Leonard Fournette (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) @DET
Derrick Henry (Tennessee Titans) @GB, @HOU
Henry is enjoying an excellent finish to the season, having scored six times in his last four games. He draws two fantastic matchups to close out the year, starting with a Green Bay defense that does a good job shutting down the pass but struggles against the run.
After the Packers, Houston will try to slow Henry in the final game of the 2020 regular season. The Texans have been bad against the run this season, ranking 29th in DVOA. They were quite kind to Henry back when these two teams met in Week 6, serving up 212 rushing yards and two TDs.
Also consider: David Montgomery (Chicago Bears) @JAX, vs. GB
OwnersBox Wide Receivers
Davante Adams (Green Bay Packers) vs. TEN
Adams had a string of eight straight games with a touchdown broken in his team's Week 15 win over the Panthers. He has a good shot at starting a new streak against the Titans in Week 16. Tennessee has been poor against the pass this season, ranking 30th in DVOA and allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position.
Also consider: Tyreek Hill (Kansas City Chiefs) vs. ATL
Calvin Ridley (Atlanta Falcons) @KC, @TB
Ridley smashed in Week 15, ripping the Bucs for 163 yards and a touchdown. He will travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs in what should be a high-scoring game this weekend. The Chiefs have been average against the pass this season, ranking 13th in pass-defense DVOA and allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position. With Julio Jones looking unlikely to play, expect Ridley to see another hefty target load.
In Week 17, Ridley gets a rematch against the same Buccaneers Defense that he dominated last week. Tampa Bay's defense has been trending down as the season has gone on.
Also consider: Allen Robinson (Chicago Bears) @JAX, vs. GB
OwnersBox Tight Ends
Travis Kelce (Kansas City Chiefs) vs. ATL
Kelce finally gets a break after playing a tough schedule for tight ends this year. He draws a plus matchup against an Atlanta defense that is allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to the position. The Falcons have tightened up on defense of late but Kelce remains the No. 1 tight end on the slate pretty much every week.
Also consider: Mark Andrews (Baltimore Ravens) vs. NYG
Darren Waller (Las Vegas Raiders) vs. MIA, @DEN
Waller has put together an absolutely dominant stretch to end the season, having gone for at least 30 PPR points twice over the past three games. The veteran tight end should stay hot in a plus matchup against the Dolphins in Week 16. Miami's defense is good against tight ends but Waller's status as the team's No. 1 option in the passing game keeps him in play as a top-three fantasy tight end.
The Raiders finish off the season with a road matchup against the Broncos. Denver has been stout against tight ends this year, allowing the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Waller was quiet against Denver the last time these two squads met but Waller has been too good to write off in drafts.
Also consider: Robert Tonyan (Green Bay Packers) vs. TEN, @CHI
