Week 16 Outlooks For Fantasy Football Playoffs
Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins - Fantasy Football Outlook
According to David Furones of the Sun Sentinel, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist/personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. This is a situation to keep a close eye on as Hill logged a full practice on Thursday but was downgraded to a limited participant on Friday. Hill also opened the week as a non-participant. The veteran wide receiver has been dealing with a lingering wrist injury all season but has yet to be sidelined.
Last weekend, the entire Miami offense struggled and Hill was only able to tally 36 yards on two receptions. However, prior to this, Hill averaged 19.3 PPR points during Weeks 11 through 14. If Hill can play, he should be viewed as a must-start option especially with Jaylen Waddle (knee) listed as doubtful. If Hill cannot play, Malik Washington becomes a viable low-end WR2 in all formats.

Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams - Fantasy Football Outlook
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is coming off a rough showing, failing to catch any of his three targets in the Week 15 win over the 49ers. However, outside of the hideous effort versus San Francisco, the wideout has played well during the 2024-25 campaign, catching 63 passes for 657 yards and six touchdowns. With the Jets on tap for Week 16, the Rams need a win to increase their chances of making the playoffs. The Jets defense has allowed only 10 touchdowns to opposing wideouts this season. Still, even with Puka Nacua commanding plenty of attention from Matthew Stafford from week-to-week, Kupp's upside keeps him a must-start in Week 16.
- Dennis Clausen, RotoBaller
Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders - Fantasy Football Outlook
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16. They have one of the worst pass defenses in the last 25 years in terms of passing Expected Points Added per play allowed. That statistic measures how impactful each play is for the opposing offense. Jacksonville thus allows a ton of big and crucial plays and does that often. With the team's QB1, Aidan O'Connell (knee), set to return from injury, Bowers will have his preferred signal-caller back in the lineup and should be fed a healthy dose of targets. This will be another chance for the stellar rookie to shine, and fantasy managers should not leave him out of their lineups in any leagues with tight end slots in starting lineups. He should be started in all leagues this week, as he's primed for a monster game.
