Byes: None

Colts at Jaguars

Colts Notes:
Joseph Addai - Expected to play as of right now, but Rhodes could still get a good amount of carries this week.

Jaguars Notes:
Maurice Jones-Drew - Two touchdowns in his first game as the Jaguars feature back — It is MJD time, just like last week!

Ravens at Cowboys

Ravens Notes:
LeRon McClain - Definitely the best RB option in BAL this week.
Willis McGahee - McGahee is capable, but one cannot expect him to get the touches.

Cowboys Notes:
Marion Barber - Barber is a risky start this week because of his health and match-up. Explore other options, but do not bench Barber for a scrub. Not sure what to do with your line-up? Get on our Fantasy Football Forums, or use our Ask Our Staff feature.
Tashard Choice - Choice had a great Week 15 outing, rushing 9 times for 91 yards and a score. Given the match-up, and the fact that Barber could play some, it is back to the fantasy bench for Choice.
Terrell Owens - Rough match-up! If anyone can have a good game against that Ravens defense, it is a strong stud like Owens, but do not expect much this week.

Bengals at Browns

Bengals Notes:
Chad Ocho Cinco - Trade for Chad in dynasty leagues while he is still cheap. Just do not count on him in Week 16.

Browns Notes:
Josh Cribbs - Cribbs is an impressive athlete - The Browns should continue to use him in that slash formation.

[ Back to Top ]

Saints at Lions

Saints Notes:
Reggie Bush - Out for the season.
Pierre Thomas - Thomas is a top 5-7RB start in Week 16.

Lions Notes:
Kevin Smith - Solid flex this week!

[ Back to Top ]

Dolphins at Chiefs

Dolphins Notes:
Ronnie Brown - Brown should produce in Week 16 - If you are considering benching him, do not! Not unless you have some amazing options at running back this week.

Chiefs Notes:
Larry Johnson - Like last week, LJ is a high-risk/high-reward flex option.
Dwayne Bowe - Again, as we said last week, Bowe might be the Roddy White of 2009.
Tony Gonzalez - Count on Gonzo in Week 16.

Falcons at Vikings

Falcons Notes:
Michael Turner - Turner could struggle to get that 100 yards against the Vikes, but he should still produce! As Smitty says weekly, Never bench Turner.

Vikings Notes:
Tarvaris Jackson - Jackson was great in Week 15, but we are not sold.
Adrian Peterson - AP let fantasy owners down in a major way in Week 16 last season. He should make up for all that this week!
Chester Taylor - Chester has a shot at a score this week.

[ Back to Top ]

Cardinals at Patriots

Cardinals Notes:
Kurt Warner - Warner will likely be in bad weather and he could be without Boldin.
Larry Fitzgerald - Bad weather could make this a tough outing.
Anquan Boldin - Cards leaning toward sitting Boldin. Horrible timing for fantasy owners.

Patriots Notes:
Matt Cassel - As we projected, Cassel exploded last week. Expect a great outing out of the guy in Week 16.

[ Back to Top ]

Panthers at Giants

Panthers Notes:
DeAngelo Williams - Count on DeAngelo! Worry about Stewart another day!

Giants Notes:
Brandon Jacobs - The Giants need him to play, but do not count on him just yet. Check our news all week on this one!
Derrick Ward - If Ward starts, he is a very solid flex in Week 16.

[ Back to Top ]

49ers at Rams

49ers Notes:
Frank Gore - Foster expected to start.

Rams Notes:
Steven Jackson - Jackson should be good to go in Week 16 and ready for all the carries.
Donnie Avery - He has been quiet - Defense could forget about him entering Week 16.

[ Back to Top ]

Steelers at Titans

Steelers Notes:
Willie Parker - Tough match-up, but do not bench FWP for mediocre options in Week 16.
Santonio Holmes - We might have been a year early on Holmes, but we still believe. He is a solid WR3 this week and go Holmes shopping in your dynasty leagues. He is dirt cheap.

Titans Notes:
Chris Johnson - Rough match-up, but somehow we see this stud getting his 100 yards rushing and a touchdown.

[ Back to Top ]

Eagles at Redskins

Eagles Notes:
Brian Westbrook - Westy disappointed in Week 15. If you made it past Week 15, and you own Westy, expect a bounce-back performance in Week 16.

[ Back to Top ]

Bills at Broncos

Bills Notes:
Trent Edwards - Edwards is expected to play.
Marshawn Lynch - Lynch had a monster game last week - Expect more of the same this week!

Broncos Notes:
Tatum Bell - Pope could get more touches, or at least the goal line touches.

[ Back to Top ]

Texans at Raiders

Texans Notes:
Matt Schaub - This is a nice match-up. Schaub should perform!
Steve Slaton - Slaton will have a nice outing.
Andre Johnson - Schaub to AJ all day, baby!

Raiders Notes:
Ronald Curry - Curry and Lelie both ruled out for Week 16.

[ Back to Top ]

Jets at Seahawks

Jets Notes:
Thomas Jones - This feels like a safe projection for T-Jones.
Laveranues Coles - Very questionable.

[ Back to Top ]

Chargers at Buccaneers

Buccaneers Notes:
Antonio Bryant - Bryant is a solid WR2 in Week 16 - His dynasty value is clearly on the rise!

[ Back to Top ]

Packers at Bears

Packers Notes:
Ryan Grant - Not a great match-up for any Packers.
Greg Jennings - Even though Rodgers could struggle, any solid production should go straight to Jennings.

Bears Notes:
Matt Forte - Forte has an injured toe… keep on the news!
