Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders has a strong floor to go with a strong ceiling in a Week 16 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Sanders got every single carry in the Eagles backfield in Week 15, and has completely phased Boston Scott out of the conversation. Of course, quarterback Jalen Hurts takes many carries on his own, but Sanders will remain heavily involved against

Philadelphia Eagles rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts is easily in the QB1 conversation in Week 16. In fact, he may be somewhere in the top half of that list. Hurts has been the overall fantasy QB13 and QB1 in his two starts, respectively, and those were against much better defenses than his Week 16 opponent in the Dallas Cowboys. Hurts could have league-winning upside in the

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron (back) and defensive end Stephon Tuitt (back) didn’t take part in practice on Wednesday. Ebron avoided organ damage when he was injured in the Monday night loss to the Bengals, but he’s in danger of missing a Week 16 matchup with the Colts. Fantasy managers need to monitor his status throughout the week and should consider him a shaky

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (quadriceps) and offensive guard Kevin Dotson (shoulder) were full participants in practice on Wednesday. Conner sat out of the Monday night loss to the Bengals in Week 15 but appears to be on track for a return in Week 16 against the Colts and their tough defense. Benny Snell Jr. was the main back against Cincinnati and had his

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense takes on the Detroit Lions in Week 16. Detroit has averaged 27.7 points per game since their coaching change, though the offensive line has still been susceptible to pressure. Detroit has allowed the eighth-most sacks this year, while Tampa Bay has produced the fifth-most. It’s a good matchup on paper, one that the Buccaneers should be able to take advantage

The Dallas Cowboys Defense is not a great option in Week 16 fantasy lineups. The Cowboys defense has been better of late, at least in fantasy lineups, intercepting four passes in their past four games after recording just three through the first 11 weeks of the season. They’ve still allowed more than 30 points in three of their past four games, though. Taking on a

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant (thigh), defensive end Calais Campbell (calf) and cornerbacks Marcus Peters (calf) and Jimmy Smith (ribs, shoulder) were among the players that didn’t practice on Wednesday. Bryant had just one catch on three targets in the blowout win over the Jaguars in Week 15, but the one grab went for an 11-yard touchdown, his first of the year. It was

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is a decent option for a Week 16 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. He’s ranked somewhere around the K15 for fantasy championship week. Zuerlein hasn’t been able to do much with longer kicking opportunities this season, going just 2-for-8 on field goal tries from over 50 yards out. He’s 27-for-34 overall on field goals, and 28-for-31 on extra point tries.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Ryan Succop is in a good spot heading into a Week 16 matchup with the Detroit Lions. Succop has quietly had a strong season, as he’s on pace to break Matt Bryant’s team record of 131 points in a season. The Lions have played kickers well this season, but the over/under of 54 suggests a high-scoring affair in Detroit this weekend.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski has had a quiet showing in each of his last two games, despite catching a touchdown in Week 14. Still, Gronkowski has remained a key cog in the offense, as he’s seen six or more targets in three of his last four contests. Up next is a matchup with Detroit’s 27th-ranked pass defense, which has been susceptible to

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz is a low-upside option in a Week 16 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Schultz only saw two targets last week, but made the best of them, finding the end zone on a touchdown. He’s been a TE1 four times and a TE2 seven other times. He’s developed a strong floor in a position where many will put up zero

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup has had a few big games this season, but his usage has been way too inconsistent to trust in a fantasy championship matchup. Gallup has put up double-digit fantasy points only four times this year, but his floor has been non-existent, as he’s put up fewer than five points five times as well. He’s too risky and doesn’t have

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown gets a chance to build off a great showing from last week in a matchup with the Lions on Saturday. Brown is coming off a season-best 93 yards and a touchdown against the Falcons, including a go-ahead, 46-yard touchdown. He’s had at least five catches and 49 receiving yards in four of his last five games, though he’s

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has been able to develop a solid weekly floor despite the general struggles of the Cowboys offense. His upside has been limited of course, but he’s still seeing a good number of targets and occasional rushing plays. Taking on the Eagles in an NFC East clash, Lamb is a solid WR3/4 for fantasy championship week. Source: NFL.com

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin gets a great matchup against the Lions in Week 16. Godwin’s yardage totals have slipped in the last couple of weeks, though he did salvage last week’s showing with a touchdown catch. It’s a bit concerning for someone who had previously presented fantasy managers with a high floor, though the Lions’ shoddy pass defense should allow Godwin to

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has been red-hot lately heading into a favorable matchup with the Lions. Evans has actually benefited from the addition of Antonio Brown to the lineup, as he’s averaged 7.8 targets, 4.5 receptions, and 67.7 receiving yards per game along with four touchdowns in six contests. He’s been a steady WR2 in that span, with a higher floor than

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper had a rough Week 15, catching just two passes for 10 yards and losing seven yards on the ground. He’d been very consistent before that though, so there’s no reason to fade him too much for the Week 16 NFC East contest between the Cowboys and the Eagles. He’s been a WR3 or better in 10 games this season

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard could have RB1 value in Week 16 against the Philadelphia Eagles. He could also return to a backup role behind Ezekiel Elliott (calf). Pollard’s value almost solely depends on Elliott’s health this week. Pollard ended up as the overall RB2 last week with Elliott unexpectedly inactive. This week, Elliott has already practiced and says he feels better than he

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton fared well enough last week, but still won’t be much of a fantasy option in standard leagues in Week 16. The Cowboys and Eagles will face off in an NFC East matchup for fantasy championship week. Dalton will be an option in 2QB and Superflex leagues, but won’t be ranked among the top-20 quarterbacks and therefore shouldn’t be started in

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette is likely looking at another week as the lead back for his team against the Lions in Week 16. Fellow back Ronald Jones II (COVID, finger) is looking doubtful for this week, as he is still on the COVID/Reserve list and recovering from finger surgery. That means, Fournette, who totaled 65 scrimmage yards and two scores last week,
