Titans | Chig Okonkwo finds end zone in Week 16 Sun Dec 21, 06:35 PM
Tennessee Titans TE Chig Okonkwo registered six receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown on a game-high eight targets in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Okonkwo got involved early and scored a rare touchdown to cap a big day for anyone that might have trusted him in lineups despite rookie Gunnar Helm playing a larger role in the passing game lately. Okonkwo should get back on the dynasty radar as an underutilized talent, and he might even be viable as a Week 17 play in fantasy championships from the waiver wire against the Saints. |

New York Jets WR John Metchie caught one pass for four yards against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. He was targeted five times during the game.

Link to story Titans | Not much for Kalel Mullings, Julius Chestnut Sun Dec 21, 06:25 PM
Tennessee Titans RBs Kalel Mullings and Julius Chestnut each had just a single rush in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Chestnut had a 1-yard gain, and Mulling' touch went for no gain. Neither player was targeted in the passing game.
Link to story Titans | Tyjae Spears totals 105 yards, score Sun Dec 21, 06:20 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Tyjae Spears rushed 13 times for 52 yards and a touchdown in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs, while adding five receptions for 53 yards on five targets.
| Footballguys view: Spears wasn't in fantasy lineups - or even on many redraft rosters - for this one, but he looked explosive as a runner and receiver and shouldn't be abandoned in dynasty leagues. He'll be a what-the-heck flex against the Saints in Week 17. |

Jets | Isaiah Williams catches four passes Sun Dec 21, 06:18 PM
New York Jets WR Isaiah Williams caught four passes for 25 yards against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. He was targeted four times during the game.
Link to story Titans | Tony Pollard hits triple digits again Sun Dec 21, 06:15 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard rushed 21 times for 102 yards in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he was not targeted in the passing game.
| Footballguys view: Pollard posted his third straight 100-yard game, but Tyjae Spears got the rushing touchdown, so it wasn't a big success for fantasy despite the comfortable home win for the Titans. Consider him an upside flex play for the fantasy championship round next week against the Saints. |

Link to story Titans | Cam Ward tosses two touchdowns Sun Dec 21, 06:12 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward completed 21-of-28 passes for 228 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he ran four times for nine yards.
| Footballguys view: Ward was a very good QB2/Superflex play against a Chiefs team that seems to be packing up early for the offseason vacation. He'll have a tougher matchup next week against the resurgent Saints defense, but with so many quarterbacks getting hurt, he's a solid QB2/Superflex play again next week. |
Titans | Truman Jones records 1.5 sacks Sun Dec 21, 06:11 PM
Tennessee Titans LB Truman Jones posted three total stops with two solo tackles, 1.5 sacks, a tackle for loss and two quarterback hits in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Link to story Chargers | Oronde Gadsden limited to one catch Sun Dec 21, 06:10 PM
Los Angeles Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden caught one pass for seven yards in a Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: Gadsden had one of the biggest plays in Week 15 streetfight win over the Chiefs in Kansas City, but he was an afterthought in Week 16 with Quentin Johnston back on the field most everything working for the Chargers offense. |

Jets | Isaiah Davis more involved in passing game Sun Dec 21, 06:02 PM
New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis caught four passes for 52 yards against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. He also rushed for eight yards on three carries during the game.
Link to story Chargers | Quentin Johnston posts 104 yards and a score Sun Dec 21, 06:00 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston caught four of five targets for a season-high 104 yards and a touchdown in a Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: Johnston missed Week 15 with a groin injury and wasn't a sure thing to play against Dallas, so he wasn't in many fantasy lineups. He looked healthy streaking past the Cowboys secondary and had a pretty one-handed touchdown catch to help Justin Herbert post a huge fantasy line. The matchup against the Texans next week is a tough one, so Johnston is probably not going to be in Week 17 lineups despite posting this strong Week 16 result. |

Chiefs | Brashard Smith with just one touch Sun Dec 21, 06:00 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Brashard Smith did not have a rushing attempt in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans, while adding a 4-yard reception on his only target.
Link to story Jets | Breece Hall finishes with 63 total yards Sun Dec 21, 05:57 PM
New York Jets RB Breece Hall rushed for 54 yards on 16 carries against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. He also caught two passes for nine yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: For the second straight week, backup Isaiah Davis outperformed Hall in fantasy leagues in a crushing blow for fantasy teams that kept Hall in on the basis of his demonstrated talent. Hall will only be in Week 17 fantasy lineups as a desperation play, but hopefully he will sign somewhere in free agency next season that has a functional offense and commitment to him as a lead back. |
Chiefs | Only one catch for Travis Kelce Sun Dec 21, 05:56 PM
Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce ended up with a single 6-yard reception on four targets in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans.
| Footballguys view: Kelce caught four passes on Gardner Minshew last gasp final drive of Week 15, but Minshew was ineffective early, and then left with a torn ACL. Even with #1 target Rashee Rice out, Kelce was a Week 16 dud. He won't be in any Week 17 lineups against the Broncos on Christmas. |

Chargers | Ladd McConkey scores sixth touchdown Sun Dec 21, 05:53 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey caught four of six targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in a Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: It wasn't a ceiling game, but it was still enough to justify putting McConkey in the lineup against a weak passing defense. Against a much tougher Texans pass defense next week, McConkey might not be an automatic fantasy championship lineup play even though he was a second round pick in most drafts this summer. |
Jets | Brady Cook finishes with 188 yards Sun Dec 21, 05:47 PM
New York Jets QB Brady Cook went 22-for-35 for 188 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. He also rushed for two yards on one carry during the game but did lose a fumble.
| Footballguys view: Cook has been able to complete 22 passes in both of his first two NFL starts, but he isn't threatening downfield and he wasn't adding any value as a scrambler against an underrated Saints defense. The Patriots D/ST will be a good Week 17 play against the Jets rookie UDFA quarterback and no one in the Jets offense is worth plugging into fantasy lineups. |
Chiefs | JuJu Smith-Schuster limited to one grab Sun Dec 21, 05:47 PM

Chargers | Omarion Hampton rushes for 85 yards and a touchdown Sun Dec 21, 05:42 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton carried 16 times for 85 yards and a touchdown in a Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He also caught one pass for 10 yards.
| Footballguys view: Hampton got more work in the second half after Kimani Vidal left with a neck injury. We'll be watching to see if Vidal will be available for the Week 17 game against the Texans. If not, Hampton will be a strong RB2 play in the fantasy championship week. |
Chiefs | Two catches for Xavier Worthy in Week 16 Sun Dec 21, 05:41 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy posted two receptions for 41 yards on three targets in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans.

Chiefs | Isiah Pacheco totals 14 touches Sun Dec 21, 05:34 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco ran eight times for 34 yards in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans, while adding six receptions for 41 yards on seven targets.
| Footballguys view: Pacheco was basically the #1 receiver in an extremely limited Chiefs passing game against the Titans. He'll be a desperation play on Christmas against the Broncos as the Chiefs favored him over Kareem Hunt in Week 16. |
Chargers | Justin Herbert throws for 300 yards and two scores Sun Dec 21, 05:34 PM
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert was 23 of 29 -- a season-high 79 percent -- for 300 yards and two touchdowns and added a running score and 42 yards on eight carries in a Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys hapless defense couldn't stop the Chargers in the first half, allowing three scores. While it did come against one of the worst defenses in the league, Herbert looked like a gunslinger for the first time in a game this season that he did not have his starting left tackle Joe Alt. He'll have a much tougher matchup next week against the Texans in a matchup of likely wild card teams that have the potential to run the table in the playoffs. |

Link to story Chiefs | Chris Oladokun finishes up Week 16 Sun Dec 21, 05:23 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Chris Oladokun completed 11-of-16 passes for 111 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans, coming on for the injured QB Gardner Minshew II (knee).
| Footballguys view: Oladokun had never thrown a pass in a regular season game coming into Week 16, but now he will likely start on Christmas night against the Broncos as the Chiefs play out the string. Gardner Minshew went down with a torn ACL, so Oladokun will have a chance to audition to come back as Patrick Mahomes backup when Mahomes may not be ready for Week 1 after suffering a torn ACL in Week 15. |

Link to story Dolphins | Darren Waller catches three passes Sun Dec 21, 05:19 PM
Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller caught three passes for 40 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. He was targeted five times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Waller's start against the tight end-challenged Bengals defense was highly awaited after his big garbage time performance against the Steelers last week. This week, new starting quarterback Quinn Ewers spread the ball around and Waller split the tight end production with Greg Dulcich, so he wasn't a strong Week 16 play. Waller will only be a desperation play for Week 17 against Tampa. |

Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. posted four receptions for 34 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Week 16 against Buffalo Bills, while he also had a 1-yard touchdown run.
| Footballguys view: Fannin wasn't a prolific receiver, but he did score and also added a one-yard touchdown on a plunge for the goal line as a fullback. He was one of biggest hits of Week 16 at tight end in fantasy leagues, and he should be in a fantasy championship lineups against the Steelers next week. |
Dolphins | Five receptions for Jaylen Waddle Sun Dec 21, 05:10 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle caught five passes for 72 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. He was targeted nine times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Waddle ended up being a solid PPR play with a rookie third string starting quarterback. The matchup against the Bengals defense helped, but Waddle showed enough with Quinn Ewers throwing the ball to be in fantasy championship lineups against the Bucs next week. |
