Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (head) does not carry an injury designation heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Dolphins. He enters this week as the No. 2 receiver on the Raiders depth chart. While it looks like Renfrow is good to go, he carries just borderline flex value this week. Over the last six games, Renfrow has just one game where

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib, thumb) and kicker Matt Prater (back) have both been given the green light to suit up for Saturday’s game against the Buccaneers by virtue of their absence from the inactive list. Stafford has continued to play through myriad injuries, which makes him something of an unknown from a fantasy perspective. He has thrown at least 31 passes in every

The Washington Football Team defense has been up and down for fantasy this season, but they have a strong matchup in Week 16 and can be started in fantasy. Carolina is not an intimidating matchup and their offensive line could have problems with a Washington pass-rush that features Chase Young and Montez Sweat. Washington is a solid starting option in championship week. Source: NFL.com

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Nelson Agholor has found consistency over the last five weeks and should have decent flex value against the Dolphins. He has five straight games of at least six targets and four receptions. The Dolphins secondary has been one of the strongest parts of their defense, but Agholor may be able to find some success. The Dolphins Defense allows the most

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mike Glennon is returning to the starting gig for Week 16 against Chicago, taking over for Gardner Minshew II. Glennon re-enters the starting lineup in a difficult fantasy spot, one that is likely more fantasy relevant for fantasy managers with eyes on the Bears Defense. While Glennon looked solid in his first start of the year against a talented Cleveland group, his

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is a solid starting option this week against Kansas City. Koo has gone 35-for-36 in field goals this season along with 28-for-31 in extra points. Overall, he has been very reliable this season. The Chiefs are stingy against fantasy kickers, but Koo has proven he is a reliable option, so he is a great start. Source: NFL.com

The Houston Texans placed outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. It’s unknown if Mercilus tested positive for the virus himself or if he was deemed a high-risk close contact of someone else who did. Either way, he won’t be available to play in Week 16 against the Bengals. Mercilus has not been fantasy relevant in IDP leagues this year with only

The Atlanta Falcons Defense should stay well off the fantasy radar in Week 16 as they travel to face the Chiefs’ high-powered offense. The Falcons have allowed at least 20 points in all but two games this season. Meanwhile, the Chiefs have one of the most talented and explosive offenses in the NFL and have scored at least 22 points in all 14 games this

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa (concussion) has not cleared the league’s concussion protocol in time to take the field for Sunday’s contest versus the Broncos. While head coach Anthony Lynn said that he did not plan on shutting Bosa down for the year, the disparate nature of how individual players are affected by concussions makes a trajectory for when one of the league’s

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had a productive Week 15 against the Chargers, but yards were tough to come by. He is averaging just 3.7 yards per carry on the season and has four straight games of less than four yards per carry. Jacobs also has not eclipsed the 100-yard mark since Week 10. The Dolphins Defense ranks eighth against opposing running backs

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas had a huge game last week against the Seahawks, and fantasy managers should roll with the 29-year old against the Panthers in Week 16. It’s unlikely Thomas gets 16 targets again, but he’s seen at least four targets in every game this season and should be the focal point of the team’s passing attack with Terry McLaurin (ankle)

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (calf) has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Ravens. Tate hasn’t really been on the fantasy radar this year in redraft leagues, as he’s been buried on the depth chart behind Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton and tight end Evan Engram in 2020. The 32-year-old has just 35 catches on 52 targets for 388 yards and two

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst is not a strong start this week against Kansas City. The TE has recorded less than 25 yards in four of the past five games and has put up the most underwhelming stretch of production this season in these past few games. The Chiefs do allow the 12th-most points to fantasy tight ends and Julio Jones is out due

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman (ankle) was activated off Injured Reserve last week with the intention of him getting back on the field for the stretch run of 2020, but it appears unlikely that he takes the field Sunday against the Ravens. Freeman has not played since Week 7, which has allowed Wayne Gallman to excel as the team’s lead back. Earlier this

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 of the last six games. The Chiefs do allow the

Washington Football Team rookie running back Antonio Gibson (toe) logged his third straight limited practice on Friday and is questionable to suit up against the Panthers. Gibson hasn’t played since going down with a turf-toe injury in Week 13. Washington will also be without top wide receiverTerry McLaurin(ankle), while quarterbackAlex Smith(calf) is also listed as questionable, so if Gibson is deemed fit to play, he

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (ankle) has been activated from Injured Reserve and will return to the field for Sunday’s game versus the Cowboys. Jackson has played just once since Week 3, having logged 13 receptions for 155 yards across his four contests in 2020. His addition to the passing game gives rookie quarterbackJalen Hurts yet another target, muddying the waters for fantasy managers

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. The Chiefs allow the third-fewest points to fantasy wideouts, but

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Week 16 against the Panthers. McLaurin did not practice all week and likely won’t be able to help fantasy managers win a championship this week. It’s really bad timing, as McLaurin has become a must-start fantasy wideout in his second season. His absence will make Washington’s offense as a whole much less

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr does not carry an injury designation heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Dolphins, so all signs point to him being the starter. Carr has been playing well this season, but he probably is not the best fantasy option against a stingy Dolphins Defense. The Dolphins defense has intercepted opposing quarterbacks 16 times on the season and have
