Giants RB Tyrone Tracy managed a solid fantasy score in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. But he did it almost entirely as a receiver. Tracy caught all four of his targets for 43 yards and the team's lone TD. He managed only 7 carries for 26 yards despite dominating backfield playing time. Tracy played 36 snaps to Devin Singletary's 13 and Eric Gray's 9. He ran pass routes on half of those snaps.
Bills RB James Cook scored twice in the Bills win against the Patriots. He ran 11 times for 100 yards and a score and was the team’s leading receiving catching all three of his targets for 26 yards and another TD.
Bills QB Josh Allen had a below-average fantasy day, letting down fantasy managers in the playoffs. He went 16-for-29 for 154 yards passing including a TD and INT. He only ran for 30 yards on six carries.
With QB Jameis Winston benched for Dorian Thompson-Robinson, WR Jerry Jeudy’s massive production boost dropped off. He caught two of three targets for only 20 yards. With Thompson-Robinson opting for short passes to TE David Njoku and RB Jerome Ford, Jeudy had little to work with.
Bengals WRs Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins both found the end zone and combined for 19 targets against the Brown. Chase caught six of eight targets for 97 yards and a score while Higgins caught eight of 11 targets for 58 yards and a score.
Browns RB Jerome Ford kicked off the game with a 66-yard scamper and would find the end zone in the third quarter. Ford accounted for 42.8% of the Browns offensive yards in the game. He ran 11 times for 92 yards and the score while also catching all five of his targets for 39 yards.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow is the first player ever to throw for at least 250 yards and three touchdowns in seven consecutive games. He just cleared the mark against the Browns, completing 23-of-30 for 252 yards and three TDs.
Cowboys LB Eric Kendricks is inactive for tonight's game against the Buccaneers because of a calf injury. That leaves Dallas missing its top two LBs, with DeMarvion Overshown on IR. Nick Vigil figures to join rookie Marist Liufau in the starting lineup. Dallas will have Edge Micah Parsons, who was questionable with an illness. Use him as planned in IDP lineups.
Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier reached double-digit carries for the second straight game in Sunday's win over the Giants. His 11 attempts in Week 16 marked the first time all year that he reached double digits in consecutive games. Allgeier tallied just 22 yards on the ground, though, and caught his lone target for 9 yards.
Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Cowboys. TEs Payne Durham, Ko Kieft, and Devin Culp are active, but none is a viable fantasy play. Otton’s absence should push more targets to Tampa Bay’s WRs and RBs.
Seahawks RB Ken Walker injured his ankle in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings and was quickly deemed doubtful to return. That suggests an injury that might cost Walker more time beyond Week 16, especially with Seattle playing this Thursday night vs. the Bears. We'll update Walker's status when we know more. His absence against Chicago would make RB Zach Charbonnet a must-start.
Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. proved no better than OK in his first NFL start Sunday. He went 18-of-27 passing for 202 yards, 0 TDs, and 1 INT. He also took no sacks in a run-heavy, lopsided win that saw the defense score twice.
Falcons HC Raheem Morris didn't seem concerned about WR Drake London's hamstring injury after the win over the Giants. "I believe he would have went back in," Morris said. "I look forward to him being ready to practice next week." We'll look for further updates on London and track his practice participation this coming week, but fantasy owners can tentatively expect him to play against the Commanders on Sunday night.
Niners Edge Nick Bosa and LB Dre Greenlaw are active for today's game against the Dolphins. Both entered the day questionable but appeared likely to play. LB De'Vondre Campbell says he doesn't care.
Raiders CB Nate Hobbs is inactive for today's game against the Jaguars because of illness.
Bills inactives vs. New England today include S Taylor Rapp (neck), S Damar Hamlin (rib), CB Rasul Douglas (knee), and LB Matt Milano (groin). Milano's absence should mean a start for LB Dorian Williams, who was questionable with an elbow injury but is active. He carries big tackle upside into the role he played before Milano's return. Buffalo started S Cam Lewis, CB Kaiir Elam and S Cole Bishop with the same secondary trio out last week. None supplied big numbers despite a huge-volume passing day for the Lions in that one. None is probably worth attention for your Week 16 IDP lineup.
Falcons WR Drake London suffered a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Giants. He's officially questionable to return, but we'd be surprised to see him back on the field with Atlanta holding a 34-7 lead. We'll update London's status when we know more.
Cardinals RB James Conner is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Panthers with a right knee injury. He was having a huge game before going down, running for 117 yards and a score and catching four balls for 49 yards. With RBs Trey Benson and Emari Demercardo out, Arizona is down to RBs Michael Carter and DeeJay Dallas.
Patriots S Jabrill Peppers (hamstring) is inactive for today's game against the Bills. S Kyle Dugger (ankle, illness) is active. Use Dugger as planned in IDP lineups.
Vikings S Harrison Smith is inactive for today's game against the Seahawks with a foot injury. Theo Jackson looks like the next man up among safeties, but he's not a strong bet for full playing time.
