With James Robinson (ankle) out, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Dare Ogunbowale is an intriguing deep-league option for Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears. While he won’t have the same workload Robinson had because Devine Ozigbo will siphon off some touches, Ogunbowale should be the main option and will get some receiving work as well. He’s a risky FLEX option in a 14-team league and an

With virtually their entire receiving corps on the COVID list, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Marvin Hall should see plenty of targets on Sunday against the New York Jets. Hall had one big game for Detroit earlier this season, catching four passes for 113 yards, but hasn’t played since being signed by the Browns. Don’t expect huge things, but with the other receivers on this team

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (knees) is healthier now than he has been all season heading into a Week 16 matchup with the Colts, but he has been managing arthritic knees this season and suffered a hyperextended knee in Week 13. Roethlisberger will have to continually monitor his knees for however long he wants to keep playing in the NFL. Big Ben is a tough

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (hamstring) will play on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Considering how porous this Jaguars Defense has been, fantasy managers should feel great about using Robinson as a WR1 play this week. The Jags are allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season. Robinson has at least 70 yards in each of his past

The Denver Broncos plan to bring head coach Vic Fangio back for the 2021 season, according to league sources. There had been speculation that Denver might consider a coaching change after a fourth straight losing season. They are currently 5-9 and enter Week 16 tied for last place in the AFC West with their Week 16 opponent, the Chargers. The Broncos respect Fangio’s approach and

Now that wide receiver Marquise Brown (knee) is active, we can officially pencil Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson in as a top QB1 play on Sunday when the Ravens face the New York Giants. Jackson threw three touchdowns and rushed for another against the Jaguars last week and has rushing touchdowns in three consecutive games. Consider him a high-end QB1 in season-long and a player

Washington Football Team rookie running back Antonio Gibson (toe) is back for Week 16 against the Panthers and should have a sizable role after sitting out the team’s last two games with a painful turf-toe injury. The 22-year-old from Memphis has been the best fantasy back in Washington’s backfield this year and he’ll return to a solid matchup against Carolina’s defense. The Panthers were one

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) is officially out for Week 16 against the Panthers. McLaurin was previously listed as doubtful, so his fantasy managers should have already benched him and made alternate plans for championship week. It’s a tough blow for Washington and fantasy managers with everything on the line, as McLaurin was the only consistent every-week fantasy pass-catcher on the team.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday’s contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Hill’s status never really seemed in doubt during the week, but it’s good to have this reassurance if you roster him in fantasy. Lock him in as a top-end WR1 option this week.

Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Damon Harrison asked for his release after learning that he’d be inactive in Week 16 against the division-rival Rams, and the team plans to grant his wish next week, according to sources. The Seahawks have enjoyed their time with Harrison and hopes he has a change of heart, but it seems as though he has his mind made up. Harrison would

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown (knee) will play against the Giants on Sunday. While his 2020 numbers have been really uneven, he’s coming off of a 98-yard Week 15 performance, and before that had touchdowns in three consecutive weeks. He’s not the safest play in the world but is a solid WR3 option if you need the upside. Meanwhile, running back Mark Ingram II

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Collin Johnson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday’s meeting with the Chicago Bears. Johnson exited early in Week 15 with the hamstring injury and the rookie was unable to get back for this week’s game. While he’s had a couple of strong performances this year, Johnson never really made much of an impact in his first NFL season. Even if he returns

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. (ankle) was unable to finish out the Week 16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. However, before he exited Grant hauled in five of his six targets for 43 yards. It wasn’t a great outing, but PPR managers will take it. This was a rough game for the Dolphins offense with Tua Tagovailoa under center. DeVante Parker (hamstring)

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki was basically invisible on the field until quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick took over in Week 16. He had two receptions for six yards before Tua Tagovailoa was pulled from the game versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Gesicki finished with four receptions on seven targets for 54 yards in the win. His fantasy value continues to decline with Tagovailoa’s low risk

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed saw 23 carries for 122 yards last week, but failed to do much of anything in Week 16. Myles Gaskin returned for this matchup versus the Las Vegas Raiders and looked like the clear cut lead back. Ahmed finished with two rushing attempts for six yards with one reception for one yard in the win. Clearly, Gaskin is going

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin returned with a bang during the Week 16 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. He rushed 14 times for 87 yards and hauled in five receptions for 82 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Gaskin was seemingly the only player on this offense that did anything this game. He continues to show that he is the clear cut

Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne HaskinsJr. is expected to start on Sunday against the Panthers with Alex Smith (calf) injured. The situation has been murky all week, and Haskins also violated COVID-19 protocols earlier in the week, complicating things even more. But it’s looking more and more like Haskins will be the quarterback on Sunday against the Panthers for the second straight week. With a

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick took over for rookie Tua Tagovailoa late in the fourth quarter. The rookie quarterback was unable to get this offense anywhere, so the Dolphins felt it was time for a change. As usual, Fitzpatrick came in and look like a Hall of Fame quarterback. He completed nine of 13 passing attempts for 182 yards and one touchdown. He completed a

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was benched during the final minutes of the Week 16 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. He completed 17 of 22 passing attempts for 94 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions before getting pulled. Tagovailoa was completing passes, but wasn’t able to create any momentum on offense. Veteran quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick came in and pulled off his FitzMagic. He

With most of their wide receivers on the COVID list, the Cleveland Browns will have to rely on Marvin Hall and practice squad players Ja’Marcus Bradley and Derrick Willies. The team did a walkthrough on Sunday morning to try to get their new receivers up to speed. ESPN’s Jake Trotter described it as being in a “parking garage next to the hotel in freezing temperatures,”
