New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson broke a four-game scoreless streak with a short touchdown reception in a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. The veteran receiver will look to keep it going at home in a Week 16 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams have been a decent matchup for wideouts this season as they are allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Wilson has seen Davante Adams overtake him as the preferred target in New York but he is still seeing enough work to stay on the map as a mid-range WR2 in fantasy moving forward. He should be in all lineups in a game against the Rams that has sneaky shootout potential.

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams has been on an absolute tear of late, posting 307 receiving yards and three touchdowns over his past two games. Adams will look to stay hot in a home matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Los Angeles has struggled against opposing wideouts this season, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. After overtaking Garrett Wilson as the No. 1 target for the Jets, Adams has drawn double-digit targets in five of his past six contests and should be locked in as a top-six fantasy receiver heading into Week 16.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers put together one of his best games of the season in a Week 15 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, throwing for 289 yards and three touchdowns. Rodgers will look to keep it going in a Week 16 home matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams have been a plus matchup for quarterbacks this season, allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to the position. Rodgers has been playing his best football of the season of late with three multi-touchdown games over his past four contests. Fantasy managers can treat him as a mid-range QB2 heading into Week 16.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson logged at least 20 carries for the fourth time in the last five contests last week and will be expected to carry the load again this week with rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. under center for the Falcons. With eight rushing TDs on the season and a receiving TD to boot, the 22-year-old is a top-five back for fantasy through 15 weeks, and in Week 16 he'll face a generous rush defense in the New York Giants. The Giants have yielded 14 scores on the ground, the second-most rush yards on the season, and the second-highest yards per carry, resulting in the fourth-most fantasy points scored by opposing running backs. While Robinson has seen a drop off in receptions over the last two weeks, his rookie QB will likely use him as a security blanket and the former first-rounder should get back on track in that regard. Deploy Robinson as a top-tier RB1 on Sunday in Atlanta.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is in an excellent position to succeed in Week 16. The Seahawks are hosting the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings have been one of the worst teams at stopping opposing passing games in fantasy this season. Part of that is due to the fact that the Vikings are so adept at stopping the run. However, their struggles in the passing game are very real. Smith-Njigba has slid into the No. 1 wide receiver role in Seattle's offense this season. He is six yards away from his first 1,000-yard season and he has scored five touchdowns. Smith-Njigba should see plenty of volume this week. The Seahawks are likely going to have to air it out to keep up with the Vikings and avoid their run defense. Smith-Njigba has WR1 upside as a result.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (shoulder) draws an excellent matchup against the Vikings in Week 16. However, Metcalf has been borderline unplayable in recent weeks. He has been bothered by a shoulder injury that has limited his practice reps but it has not stopped him from playing in any games. Metcalf has not caught more than four passes or exceeded 59 receiving yards since Week 11. He seems to have been overtaken as the No. 1 wide receiver by Jaxon Smith-Njigba. With Metcalf flailing recently, it isn't easy to consider playing him this week. In Metcalf's defense, he has faced solid to great defenses over the last several weeks. If there were ever a game for Metcalf to get back to normal, this would be the game. However, Metcalf should be treated as a flex option with upside. He has not delivered WR2 numbers since Week 11 so you will need to temper expectations if you deploy him in your lineup. He is always a candidate to catch a long touchdown, and he is due for a touchdown at this point. He has always been one of the better bets to find the end zone but he has not scored since Week 7.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett continues to be a disappointment for fantasy. That is unlikely to change in Week 16 despite an excellent matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Lockett has been completely phased out of the Seahawks' game plan. Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb has shifted most of the attention to wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the running game. The Vikings are the worst defense at stopping opposing wide receivers in fantasy. However, that is unlikely to benefit Lockett given how little volume he is receiving. With the Seahawks scaling back their passing attempts over the second half of the season, there simply is not enough to go around for Lockett to be fantasy-relevant. Look elsewhere if you are still alive in the fantasy playoffs.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) has had a solid floor this season. However, there is not much ceiling with this player. That is unlikely to change in Week 16 against the Minnesota Vikings. Fant's one saving grace is that he receives decent target volume relative to the Seahawks' passing game volume. He received seven targets in Week 15 and four in the two games before that. Unfortunately, that volume does not translate to yards. Fant has only exceeded 26 yards on three occasions this season. With the Seahawks passing less and less this season and not throwing many touchdowns, Fant has fallen into fantasy-irrelevance. He is better left to the waiver wire while you pursue a win in the fantasy football playoffs this week.

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has a chance to make several kicks in Week 16. The Minnesota Vikings have an excellent defense, but Seattle should be able to move the ball on this team, particularly through the air. Myers has been one of the better kickers in fantasy lately. He has posted at least nine points in four of his last five games. Those are seriously difference-making numbers when considering your fantasy lineup. As long as the Seahawks' offense continues to be efficient enough to get into scoring position, Myers will continue his accurate kicking. Myers has made 22/25 field goals this season and 31/34 extra points. What is more, he has not missed a field goal since Week 5.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) put in another day with a limited practice on Friday. The Packers will face the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football in Week 16, so Green Bay will have one more day of practice on Saturday. Since having his 21-day practice window opened to return from Injured Reserve, the 24-year-old has practiced on a limited basis five times. Unless he upgrades to a full session on Saturday, it's possible the Packers keep Musgrave on IR for another week. Musgrave has looked good in practice this week, but Green Bay has no incentive to rush him back and risk him not being 100 percent for the playoffs in four weeks. Even when Musgrave returns, he'll play second fiddle to starting tight end Tucker Kraft and will be off the fantasy radar. In four games before going on IR, Musgrave caught five of his seven targets for 22 yards and a touchdown.
