Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry hasn't found the end zone in the last three consecutive games and posted his worst performance of the season against the New York Giants. Despite the Giants being ranked 26th against the run in fantasy, Henry took a backseat to the passing game which produced five touchdowns. In Week 16, he goes up against the Pittsburgh Steelers who just held Saquon Barkley to 65 yards and no touchdowns. The last time these two teams faced off, Henry finished with 11 fantasy points in half-PPR formats which came in as an RB2. His value hovers round a high-end RB2 with RB1 potential at home.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry tallied just 67 yards on 14 attempts during their victory over the New York Giants. He did not see a target in the passing game. This was a surprisingly poor showing for the veteran running back, who averaged 108.2 rushing yards per game entering this contest. The Ravens were doing all of their damage through the air which took some of the workload off Henry as Jackson tallied 290 passing yards. The Ravens also played with a sizeable lead throughout the second half, which allowed them to turn to Rasheen Ali to run out the clock. Despite the quiet output, fantasy managers should still view the 30-year-old as a top-12 option in all matchups throughout the remainder of the season. Next weekend, he will face the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs this season.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has slowed down just a bit over the last few weeks before the team went into their bye week. After finding the end zone in each of the first 11 games, he hasn't been able to score in their last two. In Week 15, however, Henry goes up against the New York Giants who give up an average of 22.5 fantasy points per game to opposing backfields in half-PPR formats. They even allow the fourth most rushing yards per contest at 141.7. On top of that, Henry cut off his locs to get some cornrows, so fantasy managers can consider him an RB1 heading into this matchup.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. Lamb suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder all the way back in Week 9 but has played through it and hasn't missed any time. He'll be ready to roll on Sunday night in Week 16 when the team hosts the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) being out for the year, Lamb has remained a must-start in fantasy lineups while working with backup Cooper Rush. The Buccaneers defense has been better of late, but on the season as a whole, they've been a good matchup for receivers in fantasy. Lamb had his second 100-yard game of the year in the Week 15 win over the Carolina Panthers and has scored in back-to-back weeks. He's seen double-digit targets in seven of the last nine games. Start Lamb against the Bucs.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) continues to battle through a shoulder injury and was limited in Wednesday's practice session. Lamb suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder back in Week 9 and has been managing the issue ever since, although he has not missed any time because of it. The 25-year-old's fantasy stock took a hit when quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) was lost for the year, but he's still been playable on a weekly basis in fantasy lineups. Since injuring his shoulder, Lamb also has 41 receptions on 60 targets for 429 receiving yards and two touchdowns. It speaks to Lamb's abilities on the football field that he remains a must-start wideout with WR1 upside in fantasy with Cooper Rush under center. Lamb should play on Sunday night and will have considerable upside against a vulnerable Bucs secondary.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb again led the team in all receiving metrics as the clear go-to receiver for quarterback Cooper Rush. Lamb was targeted 13 times, catching nine balls for 116 yards and a touchdown. He connected with Rush for the first score of the game, a 14-yard touchdown reception. The star receiver will again be a top option in Week 16 against Tampa Bay on Sunday Night Football.

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Washington Commanders. Brown opened the week as a non-participant and then logged two limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. However, this injury seems rather minor, as Brown is already off the injury report. Last weekend, Brown enjoyed a nice performance, catching eight of his 11 targets for 110 yards and a score. Since Week 6, the top wideout has averaged a solid 15.8 PPR points per game with 82.7 yards per game. With Brown expected to see his typical workload, he should be viewed as a must-start WR1 despite facing a Washington secondary that recently welcomed back Marshon Lattimore.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, rest) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday. Brown was rested on Wednesday, but his knee injury wasn't listed. It's a reminder that Brown tweaked his knee during a tackle in the Week 15 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday. It's something to keep an eye on, but it's an issue that shouldn't compromise his availability for the Week 16 matchup against the division-rival Washington Commanders on Sunday. We'd be surprised if Brown wasn't available to play this weekend. The 27-year-old reportedly hasn't been happy with the Eagles' lack of a passing attack this year, so naturally Philly fed him the ball last Sunday. Brown had season-highs of catches (eight) and targets (11) while going for 110 yards and a score. Look for the Eagles to continue feeding him this Sunday, giving him WR1 upside in fantasy.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown was rested during Wednesday's practice and wasn't listed with an injury designation on the first report of Week 16. It's a good sign for Brown after he got up slow after a tackle late in the Week 15 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Eagles greased the squeaky wheel with Brown and the passing attack last weekend, with Brown catching a season-high eight passes on 11 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown. Look for the Eagles to try and continue to keep their passing onslaught going this weekend against the division-rival Washington Commanders on Sunday. If the Eagles continue to feed Brown the ball through the air, he'll have a good chance to improve on his five catches for 65 yards that he had in the first meeting against Washington on Nov. 14. Brown will be active in Week 16 and will have clear WR1 upside. Start him.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) was officially limited for the third time this week on Friday but he is good to go for Sunday's divisional contest against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16. Burrow is also battling through soreness in his surgically repaired right wrist, but all systems are go for the 28-year-old signal-caller. Even though the former first overall pick threw for under 200 yards against the Browns in their first meeting on Oct. 20, fantasy managers should keep Burrow locked into their starting lineups this weekend as a top-five QB. Burrow has been the QB3 overall in total fantasy points and currently leads the NFL in passing yards (3,977) and touchdown passes (36) while throwing only eight interceptions. The Browns have played divisional opponents much tougher in 2024, but Burrow is a must-start, high-end QB1.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee, wrist) was listed as limited for the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Burrow has been managing a sore knee and has been getting treatment for his surgically repaired right wrist in the last week, but he was able to start in the Week 15 win over the Tennessee Titans and continued to be impressive, throwing for 271 yards and three touchdowns, although he also uncorked two interceptions and lost a fumble. There's no reason for fantasy managers not to expect the 28-year-old to be out there for a divisional matchup this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. The Bengals are likely to miss the postseason, but hasn't been for lack of Burrow's effort as one of the best QBs in football in 2024. Even though he had only 181 yards and two TDs in the first meeting against Cleveland on Oct. 20, Burrow should be a top-five fantasy QB in Week 16.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) didn't have any issues with his surgically repaired knee in the Week 15 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Burrow was wearing a sleeve on his knee in last Monday night's win over the Dallas Cowboys and dealt with some soreness after that game, but he was fine to play on Sunday against the Titans. The 28-year-old former first overall pick had a mixed bag in the victory, going 26-for-37 for 271 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. He also lost a fumble, but the Bengals defense forced six turnovers to help the team overcome a sloppy performance. Burrow fell just shy of his fifth straight game with at least 300 yards passing. Burrow leads the league in both yardage (3,977) and passing touchdowns (36). Despite throwing for only 181 yards in Week 7 against the Browns, he'll be a must-start QB1 against them in the rematch in Week 16.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams found the end zone for the first time since Week 11 despite being fourth on the team in targets. During the 48-42 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Williams finished the game with 37 yards and a touchdown on three receptions and five targets. The former 12th-overall pick now has accrued 42 receptions for 747 yards and five touchdowns with an average of 62.3 yards per game. That slots him in as the WR30 in half-PPR leagues. Williams and company will set their sights on a divisional matchup in Week 16 against the Chicago Bears.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams saw eight targets in his last game against the Green Bay Packers, which were his most targets since Week 2 of this season. He will look to continue his involvement in the passing game with another good performance in Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills. Williams has been getting more involved in the Lions passing attack each week since his suspension in Weeks 8 and 9. The activity of Williams in the passing game bodes well for his fantasy outlook, especially with his big-play ability. One big play can turn Williams' fantasy day into a successful one. The Bills have an above-average pass defense, so it won't be an easy matchup, but Williams lines up as a high-upside play at the wide receiver position in fantasy.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (groin) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Friday. Interim head coach Darren Rizzi said on Thursday that Kamara is unlikely to play on Monday night against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16, and with the Saints barely clinging to faint playoff hopes, there's a chance we don't see Kamara again this season over the final three weeks. Fantasy managers still battling for a championship will unfortunately be without the 29-year-old back this weekend. Second-year RB Kendre Miller has had a tough time staying healthy in his year plus in the NFL, but he's healthy now and should serve as New Orleans' primary backfield option at Lambeau Field on Monday night, giving him at least RB3/flex value in fantasy lineups this week. Veteran Jamaal Williams will serve as his backup.

The New Orleans Saints are still evaluating injured running back Alvin Kamara (groin), but sources are saying it's a possible season-ending injury with only three games left to play with little chance at advancing to the postseason. The Saints are already saying that it's unlikely Kamara will play on Monday night against the Green Bay Packers after he injured his groin in last week's one-point loss to the Washington Commanders. More proof that the 29-year-old could be done for the year is the fact that the Saints signed Clyde Edwards-Helaire for more depth earlier this week. If you haven't already done so, Kamara's fantasy managers need to immediately add Kendre Miller if he's available. Although the Saints are down to rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler as well, the volume Miller sees alone as New Orleans' top back the rest of the way should at least put him in the flex conversation in fantasy leagues.

NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill thinks there's a good chance New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (groin) doesn't play on Monday night against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Kamara suffered an adductor injury in the Week 15 loss to the Washington Commanders, and all signs are pointing to him being held out this week. The Saints just signed Clyde Edwards-Helaire as RB depth earlier this week. Kamara has gone for tests on his injured groin, but interim head coach Darren Rizzi has declined to say if it's a minor or major injury. Underhill says himself to run out and grab Kendre Miller off the waiver wire if he's available in your league if you have Kamara rostered. We'll have a better idea of Kamara's status after the Saints begin practicing this week, but there's at least a good chance he'll miss Week 16 and potentially more, depending on how serious his groin injury is.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah got a bigger role due to the injury to RB Sincere McCormick (ankle) in his team's loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15. He carried the ball three times for just eight yards, but his seven catches on seven targets for 58 yards and a touchdown helped him tally 19.2 PPR fantasy points on the night. Should McCormick miss Week 16, Abdullah has flex appeal if he continues to have such a big receiving role. It's likely that the absence of starting QB Aidan O'Connell (knee) contributed to this, though -- backup signal-caller Desmond Ridder leaned more on dump-off passes than the team's QB1 usually does. This backfield has been an absolute mess this season, and it won't get any easier to evaluate as the team faces the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16. They do have a poor defense, though, so Abdullah has appeal in deeper PPR leagues as a FLEX option if he ends up starting.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah rushed once for one yard in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He caught one of two targets for a three-yard loss. After handling lead back duties in the Raiders' offense over the last few weeks, the veteran bottomed out in Week 14 -- playing clear second-fiddle to third-year back Sincere McCormick (15/78). Abdullah saw his workload tick down in Week 13, but it was all McCormick Sunday afternoon, as he was also more productive in the passing game. It's a blow to fantasy managers relying on the 31-year-old -- particularly through another six-team bye week. With his role now in question and one of, if not both, Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad) due back shortly, Abdullah can likely be avoided for fantasy purposes.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah (foot) could serve as the team's primary back for the third straight week in Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Zamir White (quadriceps) has been ruled out already, while Alexander Mattison (ankle) is questionable and is in danger of missing his third straight game. Abdullah was on the injury report himself this week due to a foot injury, but he practiced in fully on Thursday and Friday and won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's contest. With the lead-back job the last two games in losses to Denver and KC, Abdullah carried the ball 18 times for 67 yards (3.72 yards per carry) while adding seven receptions for 51 yards and a TD. The 31-year-old will be an RB3/flex in fantasy, at best, against Tampa if Mattison is out again. However, the upside is limited in this Vegas offense, especially with rookie Sincere McCormick getting more run of late.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (shoulder) returned from injury on Sunday, but was only able to corral three of his eight targets for 32 scoreless yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Broncos. With quarterback Anthony Richardson completing less than 50% of his passes in the contest, no receiver had a big day in this offense. The eight targets were second to Michael Pittman Jr.'s nine, but it was at least an encouraging sign that more bountiful fantasy days could be ahead if Richardson can fix the accuracy issue. With the fantasy football playoffs upon us, there isn't much time to resolve it though and the 23-year-old is probably too risky to play in most leagues. The Titans, next week's opponent, are middle of the pack versus wide receivers in terms of fantasy points allowed, and just allowed 14 catches for 182 yards to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, but Downs will be a dicey WR option given his environment.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (shoulder) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. He had been listed as questionable, but the expectation was that he'd be able to play. Downs has appeared in 10 games this year, catching 53 passes for 594 yards and four touchdowns. The 23-year-old seemed to play better when catching passes from Joe Flacco, but even with Andy Richardson under center, he's still a solid WR3/FLEX option as the fantasy playoffs get underway in most leagues.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (shoulder) is anticipated to suit up for Sunday's contest versus the Denver Broncos. The wideout was battling a shoulder injury, keeping him off the field for the Week 13 meeting with the New England Patriots. Fortunately, the Colts were off in Week 14. But with Downs logging full practice sessions during the week, he's expected to be back, which is good news for fantasy managers. The 23-year-old has been productive in his 10 appearances this season, amassing 53 catches for 594 yards and four touchdowns, making him a starting fantasy option for the challenging matchup against the Broncos.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Stone Smartt made three catches on three targets in a Week 16 win over the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football. Smartt got another start with Will Dissly (shoulder) still unavailable. The Bolts did activate tight end Hayden Hurst before this game, but Smartt was still the clear starter at the position. With his three catches, Smartt gained 37 yards with a long gain of 19. He's been a solid contributor since joining the starting lineup and should continue as a solid TE2 option as long as Dissly remains out.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Stone Smartt is set for another start in a Week 16 Thursday Night Football matchup against the Denver Broncos. Smartt has taken over the starting tight end role with Will Dissly (shoulder) and Hayden Hurst (hip) both forced to miss time. Last week, Smartt caught five passes for 50 yards. He's a solid TE2 with a decent floor and clearly has quarterback Justin Herbert's trust despite his somewhat recent insertion into the starting lineup.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Stone Smartt made five catches in a Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs. Smartt was targeted six times and his five catches were tied for the team lead. He ended up gaining 51 yards including a long play of 31. Smartt was a popular waiver wire addition this week after Bolts starter Will Dissly (shoulder) was confirmed out. With a quick turnaround ahead of Thursday Night Football coming up in Week 16, Smartt is expected to once again get the start at tight end and could have a similar game, putting him on the TE1/2 border.
