Deshaun Watson had a lackluster week against the Tennessee Titans when he threw for 243 yards and 2 TDs while also throwing 2 INTs. This was a slightly tougher matchup for Watson and although it wasn’t the incredible performance you expect he still put up approx. 16 points. In week 16 Watson will face the Buccaneers who are the 7th best matchup in the league for oppsoing QBs and as of late it seems like they may be the BEST matchup. Watson should bounce back in a HUGE way in week 16. Fantasy Football Projection: 287 yards 1.7 TDs passing 37 yards 0.3 TDs rushing
Ryan Tannehill continues to impress with his performances each and every week. In week 15 he took on the Houston Texans and threw for 279 yards and 2 TDs while rushing for another TD. Tannehill has performed well above expectation for fantasy owners and should continue into week 16 when he plays the Saints. The Saints allow the 12th most points per game to fantasy football QBs which is another reason Tannehill will continue to be a QB1 for week 16. Fantasy Football Projection: 283 yards 2.1 TDs
Running Back
- Christian McCaffrey CAR at IND
- Saquon Barkley NYG at WAS
- Chris Carson SEA vs. ARI
- Ezekiel Elliott DAL at PHI
- Joe Mixon CIN at MIA
- Leonard Fournette JAX at ATL
- Derrick Henry TEN vs. NO
- Nick Chubb CLE vs. BAL
- Mark Ingram BAL at CLE
- Alvin Kamara NO at TEN
- Melvin Gordon LAC vs. OAK

- Austin Ekeler LAC vs. OAK
- Phillip Lindsay DEN vs. DET
- Kenyan Drake ARI at SEA
- Devonta Freeman ATL vs. JAX
Chris Carson had a great week in week 15 when he faced the Carolina Panthers and carved them up for 133 yards and 2 TDs. Without Rashad Penny in the backfield to split carries Carson is again getting the full workload and should be a top option at the position for the remainder of the year. Carson will face the Cardinals in week 16 who are inthe middle of the league against opposing RBs. Although this is a more difficult matchup than week 15, I expect Carson’s volume alone will vault him into the top 5 at the position. Fantasy Football Projection: 90 yards 0.5 TDs 4 receptions 32 yards 0.2 TDs receiving
Joe Mixon is being absolutely fed in the Bengals offense and he is making the beginning of the season look like a minor blip in the radar compared to his future. Against the toughest run defense in the league, the New England Patriots, Mixon had 25 carries for 136 yards as well as 2 receptions for 20 yards. If this is the kind of output you get from Mixon agaisnt the toughest defense in the league I can not wait to see him against the Miami Dolphins in week 16. The Dolphins are allowing the 7th most points to fantasy RBs this is another great matchup for Mixon making him a top 6 play this week. Fantasy Football Projection: 93 yards 0.6 TDs rushing 3 receptions 23 yards 0.1 TD receiving
Wide Receivers
- Michael Thomas NO at TEN
- DeAndre Hopkins HOU at TB
- Davante Adams GB at MIN
- Julio Jones ATL vs. JAX
- Tyreek Hill KC at CHI
- D.J. Moore CAR at IND
- Tyler Lockett SEA vs. ARI
- Keenan Allen LAC vs. OAK
- Allen Robinson CHI vs. KC
- Amari Cooper DAL at PHI
- DeVante Parker MIA vs. CIN
- Julian Edelman NE vs. BUF
- A.J. Brown TEN vs. NO
- Cortland Sutton DEN vs. DET

- Michael Gallup DAL at PHI
- D.K. Metcalf SEA vs. ARI
- Will Fuller HOU at TB
- Kenny Golladay DET at DEN
- Robert Woods LAR at SF
A.J. Brown continues to roll with QB Ryan Tannehill behind center. Brown put up 8 receptions for 114 yards and 1 TD against a struggling Houson Texans defense. It is clear that Brown is officially Tannehill’s top target and the rookie WR is extremely talented. I expect Brown will keep up his pace in week 16 when he faces the Saints who are allowing the 8th most points to the WR position. Brown will be a low end WR 1 to high end WR2 in week 16 without question. Fantasy Football Projection: 6 receptions 72 yards 0.5 TDs
Breshad Perriman blew up in week 15 without fellow WR Mike Evan and Chris Godwin also leaving early due to injury. Perriman had 5 receptions for 113 yards and 3 TDs agaisnt the helpless Detroit Lions defense. Perriman took full advantage of the extra targets and the amazing matchup and will now be the WR1 going forward. He will face the Houston Texans in week 16 who are in the middle of the pack againt opposing WRs and should be a matchup that Perriman can benefit from once again. Fantasy Football Projection: 6 receptions 72 yards 0.4 TDs
- Travis Kelce KC at CHI
- Zach Ertz PHI vs. DAL
- George Kittle SF vs. LAR
- Tyler Higbee LAR at SF
- Darren Waller OAK at LAC
- Mark Andrews BAL at CLE
- Austin Hooper ATL vs. JAX
- Hunter Henry LAC vs. OAK
- Jared Cook NO at TEN
- Jacob Hollister SEA vs. ARI
- Jack Doyle IND vs. CAR
- O.J. Howard TB vs. HOU
Tyler Higbee continues to destroy the tight end fantasy landscape week in and week out. Higbee has strung together 3 straight games of over 100 yards at the TE position which is almost unheard of! In week 15 Higbee had 12 receptions for 111 yards agaisnt the Dallas Cowboys who are one of the easier matchups for the TE position. This week will be much more difficult when he faces the 49ers who are the 3rd toughest matchup for TEs. I still expect Higbee to be in the top 5 at the position this week. Fantasy Football Projection: 5 receptions 75 yards 0.5 TDs
