Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the 49ers. He practiced in full on Thursday. However, the wideout logged only a limited session on Friday due to a nagging wrist injury, resulting in a questionable designation. With the Dolphins still in the hunt for a playoff spot and Jaylen Waddle (knee) unlikely to play, the Dolphins need Hill on the field. Unfortunately, his production is down significantly from the 2023-24 campaign. While Hill is always a must-start, he could have a tough time getting it done for fantasy managers with a challenging matchup versus San Francisco on the horizon.

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) is anticipated to play in Sunday's game versus the Colts. The 2019 No. 128 overall pick has played through an ankle injury over the last few weeks. However, it appears he'll get out there on Sunday after not practicing during the week and carrying a questionable designation. With the Titans eliminated from postseason contention, Pollard has little incentive to play other than being 18 yards shy of his third-consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season. Although the 27-year-old will likely hit that mark in Week 16, it's unknown how much of a factor he will be for the offense. With that in mind, Pollard is a risky option against Indianapolis despite the favorable matchup. Tyjae Spears, who scored twice in the loss to the Bengals, may still have a role. But Pollard's expected presence, even if he's limited, will likely cap Spear's volume and fantasy potential.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely corralled all three of his targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The third-year pro scored his fifth TD of the season -- matching his career-best mark from a year ago. His score was a nine-yard walk-in off a nifty misdirection in the first quarter. With quarterback Lamar Jackson brandishing low passing volume again, Likely was stuck with another low target-total outing. However, his yardage mark, target, and reception total were third most on the offense behind wide receiver Zay Flowers and fellow tight end Mark Andrews. While the 24-year-old is tough to trust for fantasy, he's flashed his upside when called upon in a featured role. Likely and the Ravens will square off against the Houston Texans next Wednesday in a road tilt.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews brought in 4-of-6 targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in his team's 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The seventh-year veteran again put together a low yardage total but saved his day with another TD -- his fourth game in a row crossing the goal line. While his reception target and yardage output were mediocre, they were good enough for second on the team to wide receiver Zay Flowers. With the Ravens' rushing attack leading the way in this one, quarterback Lamar Jackson need only attempt 23 passes. Still, a 26.1% target share is nothing to scoff at, and Andrews has been a monster in the red zone, converting 11 of his team-leading 13 red area targets for all nine of his scores. He'll get a tough draw on Christmas Day against the Houston Texans on the road.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers reeled in 5-of-8 targets for 100 yards in Week 16's 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He added three yards on his lone carry. The 24-year-old was quiet for most of the contest but salvaged his day late with a field-flipping 49-yard grab. It was the first time that Flowers had reached the century mark since way back in Week 9, and just the third time in that stretch he's recorded at least five receptions. Despite the boom-bust nature of his game, the second-year wideout is far and away quarterback Lamar Jackson's No. 1 target and a dynamic player when in space with the ball in his hands. The former first-round pick will get a favorable matchup in Week 17 against a Houston Texans defense that's allowed the ninth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers through 15 weeks (36.0).

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry handled 24 carries, rushing for 162 yards in his team's 34-17 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The bruising back added another 27 yards through the air, hauling in both of his targets. Henry was a force on Saturday, swatting Steelers defenders to the ground en route to a robust 6.75 yards per carry. The only thing missing from his line was a score -- something he has not done since Week 12. Still, the 30-year-old put together his sixth performance of the season with more than 130 rushing yards, gashing the Steelers' defense for chunk gains whenever he touched the rock. It was a nice bounce-back effort after he put up a dud against the Giants in Week 15. Henry will get another stiff test in Week 17 against a tough Houston Texans team.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 15-of-23 passes for 207 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also threw an interception and rushed nine times for 22 yards. The 27-year-old got one over on Pittsburgh in their rematch after scoring just once in the two teams' first meeting, an 18-16 loss. It was Jackson's sixth outing of the year with three or more TD passes. With his total on Sunday, he's up to 37 passing scores on the year -- a career-high -- opposed to just four interceptions -- two of which have come against the Steelers. The MVP candidate will get another tough matchup in championship week when he squares off against the Houston Texans on the road. Still, he'll be a high-end QB1.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Ben Skowronek (hip) has returned to action for Saturday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Skowronek exited in the second quarter due to a hip issue, but was able to get back on the field shortly after halftime. He hauled in both his targets for 25 yards before exiting the contest. He's mainly a special teams player, but is seeing more chances as a wideout with George Pickens (hamstring) still out. However, Skowronek remains behind Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, and Mike Williams in the pecking order.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) was carted off the field during Saturday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. It was an ugly scene that had many players in tears on the sideline. After further evaluation, Dell has reportedly suffered a dislocated knee cap. It sounds like the doctors are still determining the next step, but Dell could be forced to undergo surgery. If that happens, Dell could be sidelined for the beginning of next season, which would certainly be a bummer. Dell already suffered a season-ending injury last year, so this would be two years in a row for the young wideout. He hauled in six receptions for 98 yards and a touchdown before exiting the contest. The absence of Dell should mean increased roles for Nico Collins, Robert Woods, and Xavier Hutchinson.

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Joey Porter Jr. (calf) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Porter exited in the first quarter following a tackle on Derrick Henry. He was tagged as questionable to return, but Porter has now been ruled out for the rest of the game. Yikes, the Steelers are already without Donte Jackson (back) for this game. James Pierre and Cory Trice Jr. should see increased snaps with the Steelers down two defensive backs right now.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hill landed on his head and immediately exited to the locker room to be further evaluated. The team has decided to hold him out for the second half of this game due to a concussion. Rasheen Ali figures to see an increased role as the change-of-pace back to Derrick Henry in the backfield. Hill rushed the ball twice for 30 yards before exiting the contest. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see how he progresses before knowing his availability for Week 17.

Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) suffered a significant knee injury and will stay in a Kansas City hospital overnight on Saturday night for further evaluation. Dell caught six passes for 98 yards and a touchdown before his left leg was rolled up on during his touchdown catch. Soon after the game, he appears to have suffered a very serious injury and will not travel back to Houston with the team as he gets further medical advice on his knee.

New Orleans Saints coach Darren Rizzi said wide receiver Bub Means (ankle) had a setback and probably won't return this season. Means filled in this season for a depleted wide receiver corps for the Saints and recorded nine catches for 118 yards and a touchdown. He will look to next season to recover and be back fully healthy. He never completely emerged as a fantasy-relevant option during his rookie year.

From RotoBaller

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 16 against the New Orleans Saints. Musgrave has been out since Week 5 with his injury and could make a return this week. His presence would be less relevant for his fantasy value and more tied to the value of Tucker Kraft. Kraft looks like a great tight-end option this week and Musgrave's return would only cut into his value a little bit this week. If Musgrave is out, Kraft is locked and loaded as the go-to tight end for the Packers and is a great play at the position.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed had a hot start to his 2024 NFL season but has been stuck in a slump and Reed looks like climb out of it in Week 16 against the New Orleans Saints. Reed has 34 receiving yards or fewer and is averaging less than four targets per game in his last five games. While Reed has three touchdowns in those games, those touchdowns are what is fueling his fantasy value lately, not his target-earning ability. Add in Romeo Doubs returning to the Packers' lineup from concussion protocol last week, and that addition continues to smooth out targets for every other pass-catching option for Green Bay. The Saints have been a middle-of-the-pack team in defending slot receivers this season, so the matchup good. Despite that, Reed is a low-end flex option for fantasy managers given the Packers' focus on the run and dwindling passing-game opportunities.

Miami Dolphins pass rusher Bradley Chubb (knee) will not be activated by the team prior to its game against San Francisco in Week 16. Chubb is working his way back from a serious knee injury he suffered late last season. The Dolphins won't have their talented outside pass rusher back in action this week and if they are eliminated from playoff contention with a loss, Chubb will likely not make his return this season. Chubb could add to a playoff run for the Dolphins but there is little upside to bringing him back this season otherwise.

From RotoBaller

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has been the Packers' primary downfield option in recent weeks and looks to break off some long gains as the Packers host the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. Watson's game is well-known at this point for fantasy: break off a long gain or two and hope he gets into the end zone. With two 100-yard games in his past five contests, Watson has been a solid fantasy option. When he hasn't, he's been hard to stomach when in lineups. With Romeo Doubs returning last week from concussion protocol, that adds another weapon and spreads out targets even more for the other remaining pass-catchers like Watson, Jayden Reed, Tucker Kraft, and others. With Watson being a clear boom-or-bust option in fantasy football lineups, he's more of a volatile flex option despite a great matchup against the Saints in Week 16.

From RotoBaller

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft had his worst fantasy performance in the past four games and looks to right the ship against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. Kraft has been a solid tight end option for fantasy managers this season but laid an egg last week as he caught both targets for just 34 yards against the Seattle Seahawks. With Romeo Doubs making his return from concussion protocol, the pass-catching group got a bit more crowded with Doubs adding back into a group that features Kraft, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Dontayvion Wicks. Not only that, but Jordan Love and the Packers have featured the run game more prominently. Kraft is going to have to make his opportunities count when he gets them, but he has an excellent matchup with the Saints on tap as the Saints are a middle-of-the-pack defense against fantasy tight ends on the season. Consider Kraft a low-end fantasy TE1 for Week 16.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods had a season-best six targets on Saturday in a 27-19 loss at Kansas City, finishing the day with three catches for 19 yards. The increase in work was tied to an injury, as wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) left the game and did not return after being carted off. Houston is already without wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) for the season, and a serious injury to Dell would vault Woods into being the team's No. 2 receiver. In that case, the veteran would be a popular waiver wire add with most fantasy leagues playing their Super Bowl in Week 18, during which Houston takes on the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day.

From RotoBaller

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has a great matchup on tap as the Packers host the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. Love has been solid this season, but for fantasy purposes, it's left fantasy managers wanting a bit more. With just one top 12 finish among fantasy quarterbacks in the last four weeks, Love has been a floor play in fantasy despite multiple touchdowns in three of those four weeks. The lack of passing volume and increasing willingness to lean into the run with Josh Jacobs has impacted the fantasy viability of not just Love, but Green Bay's pass-catchers too. With a great matchup against the Saints who give up the seventh-highest passing yards per game this season, Love is a low-end fantasy starting quarterback, but realistically, he's more of a streaming candidate for Week 16.
