Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman caught one pass for 17 yards in the team's 24-21 victory over the New England Patriots. The rookie didn't log a reception until early in the second half. He was targeted on a deep pass in the second quarter that landed in the hands of a New England defender. The Buffalo passing offense was out of sync on Sunday. Josh Allen threw for 154 yards. Coleman has four targets in the two games since his return from a wrist injury. It'll be difficult to insert the second-round pick into starting lineups when the Bills face the New York Jets in Week 17.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown ran for 91 yards off 18 carries in Sunday's win over the Browns. He added three catches for 18 yards. Although Brown didn't find the end zone, fantasy managers were likely satisfied with his performance. With Cincinnati still in the playoff hunt, the Bengals will look for a win over the Broncos in Week 17. The Denver defense has allowed a fifth-best 18.7 points per game during the 2024-25 campaign. While Brown will likely have a tougher time getting it done for managers, he remains a must-start in all fantasy formats.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings had a relatively sleepy game in a 29-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday. The man they call "Third-and-Jauan" caught four-of-six targets for 51 yards. It was the first time since Week 6 that an active Jennings failed to lead the team in targets, this time being surpassed by fellow wideout Deebo Samuel Sr. and tight end George Kittle --both with nine. For Jennings managers contemplating lineup choices for a potential championship in Week 17, Samuel Sr.'s re-emergence could give some pause. However, San Francisco will almost certainly be forced into a pass-heavy script against the offensive juggernaut Detroit Lions, giving Jennings a safe floor in Santa Clara on Monday night.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid caught four passes for just 15 yards in the team's 24-21 victory over the New England Patriots. Kincaid led the team in both catches and targets (seven). However, his yardage total was the seventh-highest mark for the Bills. The entire passing offense was off on Sunday. Josh Allen only threw for 154 yards. Kincaid's Week 16 stat line continues a season-long tendency of underperforming. He'll look to buck that trend when the Bills host the New York Jets in Week 17.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson reeled in 10-of-13 targets, amassing 144 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 win against the Seattle Seahawks. Jefferson was open all afternoon against a Seahawks defense that had no answer for him. Despite four receptions of seven yards or fewer, the 25-year-old had long gains of 19, 27, and 39 yards -- the last of which was an acrobatic grab that ended in six points. The LSU product has five touchdowns over his previous three games and two outings of over 130 yards in that frame. After a brief cold stretch in the middle of the season, the superstar wideout has returned to form for the fantasy playoffs. He'll get a stiffer test next Sunday in Week 17 with a home rematch against the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay had allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers leading up to Week 16. Still, Jefferson scored 20.5 fantasy points against them earlier this year and is a no-doubt WR1.

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones totaled 67 scoreless yards on his 18 carries, adding another 26 through the air on 3-of-5 receiving in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks. It was the first time since Week 11 that the former fifth-round pick did not hit pay dirt. Despite the mediocre outing in an exploitable matchup, the 30-year-old provided another double-digit fantasy performance -- his eleventh in 15 tries this season. On the bright side, Jones has seemingly put his fumbling spell behind him after a stretch in which he went three straight games coughing up the rock. He'll get another favorable spot next Sunday in a rematch against the visiting Green Bay Packers. It'll be the veteran's second revenge game against his former squad, and he fared well against them earlier this season -- racking up 139 total yards.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught two passes for 22 yards in the team's 24-21 win over the New England Patriots. Two receptions tied a season-low mark for the slot receiver. Shakir led Buffalo wide receivers with six targets (only trailed tight end Dalton Kincaid's seven) but couldn't do much with the opportunities. Josh Allen typically targets Shakir on the short and intermediate routes. The pair couldn't connect on a couple of deep shots on Sunday. The entire Buffalo passing game was out of sync as Allen totaled 154 passing yards. Shakir and the Bills host the New York Jets next weekend.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper caught one pass for 10 yards in the team's 24-21 win over the New England Patriots. The veteran secured his lone reception in the second quarter and was only targeted once more. As has been the case for most of his stint in Buffalo, Cooper was largely uninvolved in the offensive game plan. He has two games with double-digit PPR points in seven tries. Cooper can't be trusted in starting lineups when the Bills host the New York Jets next weekend.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 16 of 29 pass attempts for 154 yards and one touchdown in the team's 24-21 win over the New England Patriots. He also tossed one interception and rushed for 30 yards on six carries. It was an uncharacteristically below-average game for the MVP favorite, who had scored at least 20 fantasy points in nine straight games. The Bills erased a 14-point, first-half deficit with opportunistic defensive plays and an explosive ground game. Fantasy managers who survived a playoff matchup, despite Allen's poor play, can look forward to a rematch with the New York Jets next weekend.

San Francisco 49ers running back Patrick Taylor Jr. had an uneventful first career start during a 29-17 loss to the Dolphins in Miami on Sunday. The former Green Bay Packer took eight carries for 24 yards and caught one of five targets for one-yard receiving. Sometimes in fantasy, it's easy to fall in love with expected volume and opportunity and look past talent. Even though Taylor Jr. entered the game first on the depth chart, he looked the part of the fringe player that he has been throughout his career. Taylor Jr. was outgained on the ground by both wideout Deebo Samuel Sr. and quarterback Brock Purdy. No other tailbacks were involved with the 49ers opting to throw the ball 40 times rather than lean on their stable of replacement-level backs. Next week, the 49ers will host the Detroit Lions with Taylor Jr.'s fantasy viability in Week 17 dependent on the availability of rookie Isaac Guerendo (foot, hamstring).

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert (finger) suffered a dislocated left finger in the first half in Sunday night's game against the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is questionable to return in the second half. Tolbert was undergoing X-rays at halftime and was late to come onto the field in the second. The good news for fantasy managers that started him in a flex spot in Week 16 is that he was able to find the end zone before injuring his finger. However, it came on only two catches on three targets for 20 yards. If Tolbert is unable to return on Sunday night or for the Week 17 contest against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, rookie Ryan Flournoy and KaVontae Turpin would be battling for the No. 3 role in Dallas' offense alongside CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks. Tolbert entered Week 16 outside of the top 50 receivers in average half-PPR points per game in 2024.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold completed 22-of-35 passes for 246 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He picked up 11 yards on his five carries in the road outing. The 27-year-old was impressive again in Week 16, registering his fifth performance with at least three passing scores. It's been a superb season for Darnold, who has now eclipsed 30 passing TDs for the first time in his seven-year career (32). He's in the top five of the league regarding that stat and will look to continue his success next Sunday in a rematch with the Green Bay Packers. Darnold tossed three scores against the Pack back in Week 4, and Minnesota is still neck and neck with the Detroit Lions in a battle for the NFC North. Continue to fire him up as a QB1.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed 11 times for an even 100 yards and one touchdown in the team's 24-21 victory over the New England Patriots. He scored a second time on one of his three receptions. The 25-year-old totaled 26 yards through the air. Cook scored Buffalo's first touchdown on a 46-yard sprint past defenders in the second quarter. In the third quarter, he found paydirt on a four-yard swing pass from Josh Allen. Cook continues to make the most of his touches and will be in the RB1/2 range when the Bills host the New York Jets in Week 17.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. was stellar again in Week 16 in a 19-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The rookie receiver finished with nine catches for 132 yards and a touchdown. The touchdown was for 62 yards late in the third quarter. BTJ has proven to be a top young receiver in the NFL given his elite production with inconsistent quarterback play. With both Trevor Lawrence and Mac Jones under center, he has had big games. Just last week he had 10 catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns. Despite the cards being stacked against him, the rookie has shone brightly for fantasy managers who kept faith in him in the fantasy playoffs. The rookie stud will look to continue his exceptional play in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mac Jones had a decent outing in a 19-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The former Patriot finished with 25 completions on 39 attempts for 247 yards and a touchdown. Jones went back to his previous ways of struggling to lead the Jaguars offense to a significant point total, but he at least had a decent enough fantasy outing to fill in as a solid QB2. Jones's favorite target was once again Brian Thomas Jr., who has proven to be one of the best young receivers in the league despite inconsistent quarterback play. Both of their fantasy days were salvaged by a 62-yard touchdown in the third quarter to take a 14-13 lead. Jones will likely continue to rely on Brian Thomas Jr. in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans.

Dynasty | Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr completed 18-of-27 passes for 202 yards with no touchdowns and an interception in a win against the Giants. Dynasty Analysis: Penix's interception was far from his fault as a red zone pass to Kyle Pitts bounced right off his hands and into the arms of the defense. Penix moved the offense effectively and didn't look rattled at all. While this was the Giants defense that doesn't exactly resemble the '85 Bears, Penix gave the Falcons more than Kirk Cousins has for most of the year. His dynasty value is on the rise.

Dynasty | Falcons running back Bijan Robinson had 94 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Giants. Dynasty Analysis: He added two catches for nine yards. It seems Atlanta has finally realized they have a bona fide superstar at the position and Robinson is quickly emerging as a truly elite RB1 in fantasy football. Dynasty managers had to be patient, but it seems his time is finally here. Robinson will likely enter the off-season as the RB1 in dynasty leagues based on his late season surge.

Dynasty | Colts running back Jonathan Taylor had 218 rushing yards and three touchdowns in a win against the Titans. Dynasty Analysis: Taylor has been decent this season, but hadn't posted a rushing touchdown since before Halloween. That all ended today as he had two different touchdown runs of at least 65 yards. It was a huge day for JT, who wasn't even a lineup lock today based on his recent performance. Any dynasty manager who started him in the playoffs will likely forgive him for his mid-season slump. His dynasty value should be stable going into the off-season after this one.

Dynasty | Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was knocked out of a loss to Washington with a head injury. Dynasty Analysis: This was terrible timing for anyone in a dynasty league who had him as their playoff starter. Hurts ended the day with just 11 passing yards and 41 rushing yards. He'll be in concussion protocol going into next week and while today does nothing to his dynasty value, managers may need to look at different options for next week.

Dynasty | Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had 150 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a loss against Washington. Dynasty Analysis: The Eagles blew the game, but that's hardly on the shoulders of Barkley, who has been dynamic for much of the season. Barkley is now 162 yards shy of 2,000 on the season and while the all-time record of 2,105 seems out of reach with just two games to play, this has been a historic season for the running back. Few veteran running backs see their dynasty value climb like his during a season, but he looks like the player we all dreamed of years ago now that he's with the Eagles.
