Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan has come out of nowhere and become a viable fantasy option over the last few weeks. The rookie wideout has nine receptions for 134 yards and three touchdowns over the last two games. Before Week 14, McMillan hadn't surpassed 35 receiving yards in a single game this season. The 13 targets over the last two weeks suggests that the Bucs are going to keep throwing McMillan's way going forward. He'll get a plus-matchup against a banged up Dallas Cowboys defense in Week 16. McMillan has done enough lately to put himself on the flex radar, but he's probably more of a deep league option.

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) has been ruled out yet again for the Week 16 contest this Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium against the Miami Dolphins. This will be the fifth straight game that the All-Pro left tackle has missed due to an ankle injury that is taking a lot longer to heal than originally expected. The 36-year-old veteran offensive lineman has also dealt with the tragic death of his son this year, so it's been a rough season for him all around. Given the 49ers' slim chances of making the playoffs with only three regular-season games remaining, there's a good chance we won't se Williams again this year. Jaylon Moore is fully expected to continue starting at left tackle in place of Williams, which is obviously a downgrade for quarterback Brock Purdy and the entire Niners offense. Williams' next chance to suit up will come in Week 17 against the Detroit Lions.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will square off against the Seattle Seahawks in a road matchup this Sunday. The 22-year-old will look to continue a stretch of strong performances against a beatable Seahawks defense. Since Week 11, the second-year wideout is the WR5 in PPR formats -; racking up 30 receptions, 473 yards, and five touchdowns on 44 targets. He's been the clear second option for quarterback Sam Darnold recently and even outperformed superstar teammate Justin Jefferson several times over that frame. Seattle has been stingy in the yardage department, but they're in the league's top half regarding fantasy points allowed per game to wideouts (33.4). Addison ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR26 ahead of this weekend's slate of action.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson will make his first start of the season when he heads on the road to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. Thompson-Robinson will take over as the Browns' starting quarterback after they benched Jameis Winston late in a Week 15 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bengals represent an excellent matchup for quarterbacks as they are allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Thompson-Robinson has thrown for just one touchdown and seven interceptions across 12 career appearances and can't be trusted to take advantage of this generous Cincinnati defense. He settles in as nothing more than a desperation option in superflex leagues heading into Week 16.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (foot) has been cleared ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Shepard didn't practice on Wednesday and got in two limited sessions after that, but apparently that was enough to clear Shepard for this weekend. The veteran wideout posted a dud last week. Shepard hauled in his lone target for 16 yards in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Rookie wideout Jalen McMillan has proven himself to be a viable option over the last two weeks. McMillan is likely going to take away targets from Shepard, which is going to make the veteran wideout a risky play for Week 16. Fantasy managers should be able to find a better option than a wideout who is probably going to be third or fourth in the pecking order.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White remains in a timeshare in the backfield, but that hasn't stopped him from producing over the last few weeks. White struggled on the ground through most of the season, but has rushed for 64 yards or more in each of the last three games. It's also worth noting that White has hauled in two touchdowns through the air over that span. White has proven to be a viable red zone option for the Bucs and that should continue in Week 16. He'll get a plus-matchup against the Dallas Cowboys defense. Fellow back Bucky Irving (back, hip) has been cleared to play, but that shouldn't stop White from offering at least flex value this weekend.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is a locked-in WR1 in a meeting with the Seattle Seahawks this weekend. The former LSU Tiger has been as steady as they come in 2024 -; notching at least 14 fantasy points in all but two outings. Jefferson matched a season-high with 14 targets in last weekend's win against the Chicago Bears and recorded his third straight game with seven receptions. He gets a Seahawks D in Week 16, which has let up the tenth-most touchdowns to wideouts this season (15), and the 25-year-old has gotten into the end zone in back-to-back weeks after a six-week stretch in which he scored nary a touchdown. Fire him up as RotoBaller's PPR WR3 in this week's rankings.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (rest) has been removed from the injury report after getting in a few limited practice sessions this week. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried as the Bucs were just trying to keep their veteran wideout fresh for this Week 16 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Evans is good to go and should be treated as a WR1 for this plus-matchup against the banged up Cowboys defense. Last week, Evans hauled in nine of his 11 targets for 159 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The 31-year-old has finished with 68 receiving yards or more in every game since returning from injury. He should continue being an elite fantasy option this weekend.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson found the end zone via the rush for the fourth time in the last four weeks in Week 15, but had another horrendous day throwing the football, completing 50% or less of his passes for the eighth time in the nine full games he's played in 2024 while throwing two interceptions. Things won't get any easier in Week 16 as the Colts have a divisional matchup with the Titans who have allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Wide receiver Alec Pierce has been ruled out after sustaining a concussion last week, which actually may help improve the 22-year-old's completion rate since he likes to throw the ball deep and Pierce leads the entire NFL in average depth of target. Therefore, targets could be focused more on intermediate, higher-percentage throws. Regardless of whether or not that holds true, with fantasy titles hanging in the balance, managers who are streaming QBs will want to look elsewhere if possible as the former first-round draft pick projects only as a mid-range QB2 in Week 16.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee, illness) has been removed from the Week 16 final injury report on Friday and will make his 2024 debut in Week 16 on Sunday versus the New York Jets. Higbee practiced in full on Wednesday and Friday and was rested on Thursday while being under the weather. The 31-year-old veteran is just now playing for the first time in 2024 after tearing both his ACL and MCL in an ugly collision in the playoffs last season. It's great news for the Rams offense as they look to stamp their ticket to the playoffs in the final three weeks of the season, but fantasy managers with everything on the line in the postseason these next two weeks shouldn't be expecting Higbee to help them out. Most likely, the Rams will ease Higbee back into the fold and he'll join a TE committee in LA that already includes Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen. Consider him a shaky TE2 streamer, at best.

From RotoBaller

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (hip, back) is ready to go for Week 16 after getting through a full practice session on Friday. Irving was limited during the first two practice sessions of the week, but has been removed from the injury report after getting in a full session to end the week. Irving has rushed for over 70 yards in four of his last five games. Irving has two 100-plus yard games in two of his last three outings. The only thing holding him back is the fact that he remains in a committee with Rachaad White in the backfield. Despite that, Irving should still be able to produce high-end RB2 value for the Week 16 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Baltimore Ravens waived wide receiver Diontae Johnson on Friday. Johnson will now go on waivers and can be claimed by another organization on Monday. If he is not claimed, Johnson will hit the open market and be free to sign with any team he wants. The 28-year-old was acquired at the trade deadline this year from the Carolina Panthers, but he wasn't exactly a great fit in Baltimore's offense. Everything came to a head when Johnson, unhappy with his role, refused to enter the Week 13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He was subsequently suspended for the Week 15 win over the New York Giants and is now no longer with the team. He ended up catching just one pass on five targets for six yards in four games with the Ravens, but he had a 30-357-3 line in seven games with Carolina and should latch on quickly with another organization, potentially a contender looking for more receiver depth.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold will get a rough matchup this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks on the road. The 27-year-old had his fourth outing of the season with fewer than 16 fantasy points last weekend in a win over the Chicago Bears and has another stiff test on tap in Week 16. The Seahawks are vulnerable on the ground but have allowed the twelfth-fewest passing yards per game to opponents (213.6). Despite letting up a friendly 21:11 TD:INT ratio, Seattle is affording fantasy QBs 17.0 points per game -; a top-eleven mark in the NFL. Still, the Vikings deploy one of the better sets of offensive weaponry in the league, and Darnold should put up a fight with a first-round playoff bye on the line. He comes in at RotoBaller's QB8 ahead of the fantasy semi-finals.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are now saying that tight end Cade Otton (knee) is doubtful to play on Sunday night in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys. Head coach Todd Bowles said that Otton will likely be a game-time decision this week, but it doesn't sound like they're expecting to play him against Dallas. Otton missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday before returning to a limited showing on Friday, but he was sporting a large brace on his injured left knee. Fantasy managers should have already moved Otton to the bench this week. After a three-game stretch from Weeks 7-9 in which he had 25 catches for 258 yards and three touchdowns that coincided with receiver Mike Evans being out with an injury, Otton has come back down to Earth in the last five games, clearing 35 receiving yards just once and not scoring at all. Fantasy managers should look to avoid a committee at TE in Tampa involving Payne Durham, Ko Kieft and Devin Culp.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (knee) has been removed from the injury report after getting in back-to-back full practice sessions. That means, Mayfield will be good to go for his plus-matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16. Mayfield has been one of the best fantasy QBs all season long. The 29-year-old has thrown seven touchdowns over his last two games and should remain an elite option for this weekend. Fantasy managers shouldn't have to think twice about plugging in Mayfield as a QB1 for Week 16.

From RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones has another exploitable outing on tap in Week 16 in a road tilt with the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran is in the midst of a nice stretch, with a touchdown in four straight games and three appearances of at least 16 fantasy points. He's commanded fewer targets recently than earlier in the season (likely due to the emergence of Jordan Addison). However, he has still registered at least two receptions in all but two contests. Despite allowing just nine rushing scores, Seattle has favored fantasy RBs in 2024 -; letting up the seventh-most rushing yards (109.43) and tenth-most fantasy points per game (24.8) to running backs. Jones clocks in as RotoBaller's PPR RB16 in this week's ranks.

According to David Furones of the Sun Sentinel, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist/personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. This is a situation to keep a close eye on as Hill logged a full practice on Thursday but was downgraded to a limited participant on Friday. Hill also opened the week as a non-participant. The veteran wide receiver has been dealing with a lingering wrist injury all season but has yet to be sidelined. Last weekend, the entire Miami offense struggled and Hill was only able to tally 36 yards on two receptions. However, prior to this, Hill averaged 19.3 PPR points during Weeks 11 through 14. If Hill can play, he should be viewed as a must-start option especially with Jaylen Waddle (knee) listed as doubtful. If Hill cannot play, Malik Washington becomes a viable low-end WR2 in all formats.

According to Ralph Vacchiano of FOX Sports, the Washington Commanders are listed tight end Zach Ertz (concussion) as questionable for Sunday's divisional match against the Philadelphia Eagles. Ertz suffered a concussion during their Week 15 victory over the New Orleans Saints. During the week, he was a non-participant on Wednesday, but was upgraded to a limited participant on Thursday and Friday. Fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status as he will need to pass the league's protocol in order to suit up. Entering Week 15, Ertz found the back of the end zone in each of his past three games. If Ertz cannot make a quick turnaround, fantasy managers should expect John Bates to move up to the starting role with rookie Ben Sinnott moving up to the No.2 spot. Bates should not be viewed as a viable option given his lack of proven offensive production throughout his career.

The Buffalo Bills DST has allowed over 80 points in its last two games but the matchup against New England is more intriguing than recent contests against the Lions and Rams. The Patriots offense averages 17 points per game, second-worst in the NFL. Their implied point total is 16.25 points on Sunday. The Drake Maye-led squad also averages 1.3 giveaways per game. Sean McDermott's defense can easily bounce back in this divisional matchup. The Bills are ranked as a top DST in Week 16.

According to Matt Maiocco of NBC Bay Area, San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's match against the Miami Dolphins. Guerendo was unable to participate in any team practices this week. He entered his Week 14 game with a foot injury and then left it with a hamstring concern. Fantasy managers should closely monitor his status next week as he may be in danger of missing more time. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Patrick Taylor Jr. to lead a depleted San Francisco backfield on Sunday. Throughout the season, he has tallied 50 yards on 14 attempts and brought in one of his two targets for 12 yards. Taylor should be viewed as a high-floor flex option this weekend facing a Miami rushing defense that has allowed the 12th-most PPR points to opposing RBs this season.
