The Denver Broncos Defense held the division-rival Chargers to just 19 points and just one offensive touchdown in the 19-16 Week 16 loss, but they didn’t do a whole lot for fantasy managers in the process. The Broncos defense once again failed to record a takeaway against rookie quarterback Justin Herbert, but they did hold the impressive first-year signal-caller to 21-for-33 passing, 253 yards and

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan saw just two targets in a 40-14 blowout win over the Titans. Tonyan registered just one catch for 17 yards, though he wasn’t really needed for the Packers’ passing game in a contest that turned into the Aaron Rodgers–Davante Adams show. Besides, high-yardage games haven’t been Tonyan’s specialty this year- it’s been his nose for the end zone.

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus turned in a top-five fantasy performance at his position in the Week 16 loss to the Chargers. While he did miss his third field-goal attempt of the season, McManus also did hit three of his four field goals on the day, including one from 50-plus yards, and his lone extra point. It was a nice outing after he missed the

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown caught his lone target for a 21-yard touchdown reception in a 40-14 victory over Tennessee. St. Brown has had a minuscule role this season, as he hasn’t registered more than two catches in any game. Still, he was able to catch the eye of Aaron Rodgers, who lofted a beautiful pass into the end zone with the

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams caught 11 of 12 targets for 142 receiving yards and three touchdowns in a 40-14 win over the Titans. Adams was outstanding, consistently beating the Titans’ defensive backs all night. He was particularly a terror in the red zone, scoring on a screen pass, a fade, and a route where he was left open in the back of

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (calf) suffered a calf injury in the Week 16 win over the Falcons, but it’s not believed to be a serious injury, according to a source. However, with the top seed in the AFC and home-field advantage locked up already, Watkins will likely be rested in Week 17 against the Chargers, which means he’ll have two full weeks

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler (concussion) was evaluated for a concussion early in the Week 16 game against the Chargers and was eventually ruled out for the rest of the game. Hamler suffered the injury when he was tackled on a run of only three yards. He was not targeted at all in the passing game before suffering the head injury. With the

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick did very little for his fantasy managers in the Week 16 loss to the Chargers, catching three of his four targets for 39 yards. Patrick has been the team’s most productive wideout this year in place of the injured Courtland Sutton, but he’s slowing down to end the season. The 27-year-old has 49 catches (75 targets) for 696 yards

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hip) carried the ball 10 times for 94 rushing yards in a dominant win over Tennessee. Jones added two receptions for 14 receiving yards to cap off a strong game for the UTEP product, who was forced to leave the game in the first half with a hip injury, though he later returned. Jones still managed to exceed

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy had a season-high 15 targets in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Chargers, but he caught just six of those targets for 61 yards in the 19-16 loss. It was a nice rebound effort after a five-game stretch that saw him catch seven passes on 22 targets for just 103 yards, but Jeudy dropped five passes in

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant continued to be a big part of the offense in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Chargers. Fant had six receptions on nine targets for 65 yards. His nine targets were tied with DaeSean Hamilton for second-most behind rookie wideout Jerry Jeudy. The second-year tight end has 14 catches on 20 targets for 133 and a touchdown in

Green Bay Packers running back A.J. Dillon carried the ball 21 times for a career-high 124 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a blowout win over the Titans. Dillon operated as the number-two back with Jamaal Williams (quad) inactive and proceeded to break out for the best performance of his young career. The 22-year-old also saw some additional run in the first half with Aaron

Denver Broncos wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton surprisingly led the team in receiving in the 19-16 Week 16 loss to the division-rival Chargers. Hamilton had five catches on nine targets for 77 yards in the contest. His nine targets were tied for second-most on the team with tight end Noah Fant. The nine targets were also a season-high and were the result of rookie K.J. Hamler

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that quarterback Kyler Murray (leg) has a “lower-leg injury” and his status for Week 17 against the division-rival Rams is in question. Murray was leg-whipped on the final play of the game on Saturday in the loss to the 49ers. He was just 31-for-50 for 247 yards, no touchdowns and an interception in the loss to San Francisco,

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers put together an outstanding performance in a 40-14 win over the Titans at a snowy Lambeau Field. Rodgers completed 21 of 25 passes for 231 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception, effectively taking the lead in the race for the league’s MVP. The connection with wideout Davante Adams proved near impossible for Tennessee to stop, as the two hooked

The Detroit Lions released starting safety Jayron Kearse on Monday, according to a source. The former Viking started seven games for the Lions this year and racked up 59 tackles, two passes defensed and a forced fumble in 11 total games in his first and only season in Detroit. The 26-year-old is an experienced defensive back who could help a contending team in the playoffs

Denver Broncos running backs Royce Freeman and rookie Levante Bellamy saw some extra run in the 19-16 Week 16 loss to the Chargers with Phillip Lindsay on Injured Reserve. However, the two running backs combined for just five carries and 27 yards on the ground and three catches for 12 yards through the air. Melvin Gordon III predictably led the backfield with 16 carries in

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III had the backfield all to himself in Week 16 against his former team, the Chargers, but he couldn’t exactly take advantage of it with Phillip Lindsay inactive due to injury. Gordon carried the ball 16 times for 79 yards (4.9 yards per carry) and wasn’t involved in the passing game at all. Denver was scoreless at halftime and

New York Jets running back Frank Gore (lung), who became the third player in NFL history to run for 16,000 yards in the Week 16 win over the Browns, will not play in Week 17 against the Patriots due to a lung contusion. Gore ran the ball 14 times for 48 yards against Cleveland and added a five-yard reception in what could be the future

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock went 24-for-47 for 264 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in the 19-16 loss to the division-rival Chargers in Week 16, but he did run the ball five times for 15 yards and a touchdown to somewhat salvage his below-average performance. Lock has thrown 15 interceptions and lost four fumbles in his second season. There’s been more bad than good
