Browns | Raheim Sanders sees extra run in Week 16 Sun Dec 21, 05:01 PM

Cleveland Browns RB Raheim Sanders rushed 11 times for 42 yards in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills, while adding a 4-yard reception on his lone target.

Footballguys view: Sanders got some red zone touches and almost scored after Quinshon Judkins went down with a dislocated ankle and broken fibula, but Harold Fannin scored from one yard out as a fullback instead of Sanders getting the call. Chances are no one in their fantasy championship will need to go far enough down in the rankings to use Sanders, but he'll get a chance to show his stuff for the Browns, who might not have Judkins for Week 1 next season. Sanders is worth an add in deep dynasty leagues.

Dolphins | Jaylen Wright reaches end zone Sun Dec 21, 04:59 PM

Cowboys | George Pickens snags ninth touchdown pass Sun Dec 21, 04:58 PM

Dallas Cowboys WR George Pickens caught seven of nine targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in a 34-17 loss in Week 16 to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Footballguys view: Pickens was a liability two weeks ago and quiet for fantasy against the Vikings in Week 15, but he made multiple big plays downfield and atoned for his recent poor fantasy performances. #3 receiver Ryan Flournoy went down with a knee injury in this game, so Pickens target share should remain high in a great matchup against Washington on Christmas.

Browns | Shedeur Sanders throws for 157 yards, TD Sun Dec 21, 04:53 PM

Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders completed 20-of-29 passes for 157 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills, and he rushed four times for a team-high 49 yards. He also left the game briefly due to a bloodied pinkie finger on his hand, but he was able to return and finish up.

Footballguys view: Sanders, who was sidelined briefly with a cut on his right pinky finger, was surprisingly spry as a scrambler and he was an efficient passer. One of his interceptions was off of a Quinshon Judkins drop and another was deflected at the line, so he wasn't as bad as his TD-INT ratio indicates. Sanders has done enough to deserve a chance to start for the Browns in Week 1 next season, but the team will be drafting early in the first round, so their quarterback decision in the offseason will be heavily analyzed. Sanders will have a tough matchup against the Steelers next week and is only a desperation play in 2QB/Superflex leagues.

Dolphins | De'Von Achane productive in Week 16 Sun Dec 21, 04:53 PM

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane rushed for 81 yards and one touchdown on 15 carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. He also caught three passes for nine yards during the game.

Footballguys view: The quarterback switch to Quinn Ewers didn't affect Achane's fantasy bottom line. He had an early 48-yard touchdown run against a suspect Bengals run defense to key yet another RB1 level fantasy stat line. The Bucs run defense was stout against the Panthers in Week 16, but Achane will surely be in a lot of fantasy championship lineups as the lone bright spot during a rough season for the Dolphins offense.

Browns | Myles Garrett inches closer to NFL record Sun Dec 21, 04:49 PM

Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett had just one total stop and one quarterback hit in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills, and he was credited with a half-sack, as he inches closer to the NFL record. He has 22 sacks through 15 games, and he still has two more games to record a half-sack to tie the NFL record, and one full sack to break it.

Cowboys | CeeDee Lamb surpasses 1,000 receiving yards Sun Dec 21, 04:47 PM

Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb caught six of seven targets for 51 yards in a 34-17 loss in Week 16 to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Footballguys view: Lamb was overshadowed by George Pickens and only had modest gains on his receptions. He has a much better outlook in Week 17 against Washington on Christmas day if fantasy teams were able to survive this disappointing performance.

Dolphins | Quinn Ewers finishes with two INTs Sun Dec 21, 04:47 PM

Miami Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers went 20-for-30 for 260 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. He also rushed for five yards on two carries during the game.

Footballguys view: One of the interceptions was tipped by a defender and the other was a 50-50 ball for Jaylen Waddle. The Dolphins did score three touchdowns on offense, but all came on running plays. Ewers was better than some of the other unlikely Week 16 starting quarterbacks and will be a live desperation QB2/Superflex play against the Bucs in Week 17.

Browns | Carson Schwesinger fills up stat sheet Sun Dec 21, 04:47 PM

Cowboys | Javonte Williams limited to 34 rush yards Sun Dec 21, 04:45 PM

Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams carried nine times for 34 yards in a 34-17 loss in Week 16 to the Los Angeles Chargers. He added nine yards on two receptions.

Footballguys view: The Cowboys running game was abandoned in the second half and Dallas used Malik Davis more than they had been in previous weeks - possibly to lighten the load for Williams after he suffered a shoulder stinger last week. Williams is still a solid RB2 on Christmas against a Washington defense that should give up a lot of points and yards.

Bills | Dalton Kincaid held without reception Sun Dec 21, 04:42 PM

Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid went without a reception in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns, and he was targeted just one time.

Footballguys view: Kincaid missed two practices this week to manage his knee injury. Head coach Sean McDermott admitted that the injury wouldn't be allowed to heal while Kincaid plays through it. He's a risky play next week against the Eagles and might even be droppable heading into the fantasy championship week in most leagues.

Cowboys | Dak Prescott throws two touchdown passes Sun Dec 21, 04:36 PM

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott completed 21-of-30 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-17 loss in Week 16 to the Los Angeles Chargers. He added 14 yards on two carries.

Footballguys view: Both touchdowns came in the first half, and Prescott also threw a touchdown to Ryan Flournoy that was wiped off of the board by a holding penalty. The Cowboys offense fell apart in the second half, but Prescott still did enough to be a solid QB1 start against one of the hottest defenses in the league. He'll be a high ceiling QB1 on Christmas against the porous Washington defense.

Bengals | Tee Higgins catches TD pass Sun Dec 21, 04:24 PM

Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught three passes for 53 yards and one touchdown against the Miami Dolphins in Week 16. He was targeted three times during the game.

Footballguys view: Higgins had two catches including the touchdown on an early drive and then was barely heard from for the rest of the afternoon even though the Bengals put 45 points on the board against the hapless Dolphins defense. It was still good enough on a very unpredictable day of fantasy outcomes for teams that weren't even sure they would have Higgins this week after he suffered two concussions in a three-week span from Weeks 13-15. He'll be a high ceiling WR1 against the Cardinals next week.

Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught nine passes for 109 yards against the Miami Dolphins in Week 16. He was targeted 11 times during the game.

Footballguys view: Chase has had many ups and downs this season, but even with the Bengals staying home for the playoffs, he helped many fantasy teams advance in the fantasy playoffs. In a season when many fantasy first round picks have disappointed, Chase is still producing big numbers when it matters most.

Buffalo Bills RB James Cook rushed 16 times for 117 yards and two touchdowns in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns, while adding a 17-yard reception on two targets.

Footballguys view: Cook was the strongest force in the Bills offense on another dominant day that likely helped many fantasy teams advance to the finals. He and Jonathan Taylor will duel for the NFL rushing title down the stretch, with the Eagles up next for the Bills.

Bengals | Three touchdowns for Chase Brown Sun Dec 21, 04:06 PM

Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown rushed for 66 yards and one touchdown on 12 carries against the Miami Dolphins in Week 16. He also caught four passes for 43 yards and two touchdowns during the game.

Footballguys view: Brown was the fantasy star on a day when everything came easy for the Bengals offense. He'll be a strong RB1 play against the Cardinals next week in what should be one of the highest scoring games of the week most fantasy championships take place.

Bills | Josh Allen does very little in Cleveland Sun Dec 21, 04:06 PM

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen completed 12-of-19 passes for 130 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns, while running seven times for just 17 yards.

Footballguys view: All three Bills offensive touchdowns came via the ground by running backs in a bad break for Allen fantasy teams. Allen was one of the most valuable players in fantasy football all season, but this game likely eliminated a lot of teams that relied on him. Dawson Knox dropped a fourth down sure touchdown late in the game and Allen did get banged up enough on a first half sack to have his foot X-rayed at halftime.

Browns | Quinshon Judkins suffers broken leg Sun Dec 21, 04:01 PM

Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Judkins suffered a dislocated ankle and a fractured fibula late in the first half of the contest. The injury will require surgery.

Footballguys view: Judkins was selected at No. 36 overall in this year's draft. He entered the weekend having rushed for 805 yards with seven touchdowns in 13 games. He'd also caught 21 passes for 142 yards. His Sunday afternoon ended with him having rushed for 22 yards on eight carries. He caught five passes for 29 yards. Raheim Sanders replaced Judkins and could get a lot of work against the Steelers next week.

Chiefs | Gardner Minshew likely suffers ACL Sun Dec 21, 03:52 PM

Kansas City Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew (knee) suffered what is likely a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the Week 16 game against the Tennessee Titans, sources said Sunday, Dec. 21. He will have an MRI to confirm.

Footballguys view: Sunday's game was Minshew's first start of the season. It came after Patrick Mahomes suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee during last week's loss to the Chargers, which eliminated the Chiefs from playoff contention. Chris Oladokun, the Chiefs' third-string quarterback, will take over as the starter for Thursday night's Week 17 game against the Broncos.

Chargers | Kimani Vidal leaves game Sun Dec 21, 03:51 PM

Los Angeles Chargers RB Kimani Vidal (neck) suffered a neck injury during the Week 16 game and is considered questionable to return.

Footballguys view: Omarion Hampton ran with great burst and strength in the second half and looked fresh after missing almost half of the season with a fractured ankle. We'll be watching Vidal's status, but if he's out against the Texans in Week 17, Hampton becomes a strong RB2 play at worst.

Commanders | Marcus Mariota listed as day to day Sun Dec 21, 03:35 PM

Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (quadriceps, hand) is considered day-to-day, head coach Dan Quinn said Sunday, Dec. 21. Quinn said Mariota is nursing a quadriceps injury, in addition to a hand ailment.

Footballguys view: The Commanders play on Christmas day against the Cowboys, so we should consider Mariota questionable at best. Even with the very attractive Cowboys matchup, Mariota isn't an automatic play in 2QB/Superflex if active because of these injuries. Josh Johnson would start if Mariota can't go and be on the upside desperation play list for 2QB/Superflex leagues.

Bengals | Great day ends early for Joe Burrow Sun Dec 21, 03:32 PM

Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow completed 25-of-32 passes for 309 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 16 against the Miami Dolphins, while running for six yards. He was pulled early in the fourth quarter with the Bengals well ahead, giving QB Joe Flacco a chance to mop up.

Footballguys view: Anyone who played Burrow last week and lost because he was shut out by the Ravens will get no solace from this result. The Bengals offense did not let up even though their season is over, so Burrow is a very strong Week 17 play against Arizona. The Tampa offense will have a get right game against the Dolphins next week.
