A look at some key fantasy football questions and answers for
title matchups in Week 16:WHICH UNDER-THE-RADAR PLAYERS HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR
A BIG GAME THIS WEEK?Week 16 is championship week in most fantasy football
leagues
DeVante
Parker Jersey , and we don't recommend you making many wholesale changes
to your lineup. However, Josh Allen has scored the most fantasy points per game
(FPPG) among QBs over the past four weeks. He faces the Patriots, who've given
up the ninth most FPPG to the position. The built-in cushion his rushing stats
provide make him a player with a high floor.Don't write off Ravens RB Gus
Edwards just yet. Yes, Kenneth Dixon played more snaps than Edwards in Week 15,
but Edwards continues to get more red zone opportunities than Dixon. Baltimore
takes on the Chargers, who've given up five rushing TDs over the past three
weeks.The Packers have allowed the fourth-most FPPG to WRs and they take on the
Jets this week. Quincy Enunwa has already been ruled out, making Robby Anderson
a WR with upside. Anderson has averaged just over eight targets in his past
three games and has scored a TD in two straight.With Bengals WR A.J. Green
already on injured reserve and Tyler Boyd highly unlikely to play this week,
tight end C.J. Uzomah should get more of QB Jeff Driskel's attention. The
Bengals take on the Browns, who've given up the fourth most FPPG to TEs as well
as the most receptions to the position.IF CHIEFS RB SPENCER WARE IS ACTIVE,
SHOULD HE BE STARTED OVER DAMIEN WILLIAMS?Ware seems like he's on track to play
against the Seahawks on Sunday but he's likely to be limited. Even with Ware in
the lineup back in Week 14, Williams managed rushing and receiving scores.
Although TDs are difficult to predict, coming off of his big Week 15 Williams
should still have a fairly significant role in the Chiefs backfield. The
Seahawks have allowed the seventh-most catches to RBs and catching passes out of
the backfield is one of Williams' specialties.WHICH DOLPHINS RB IS A BETTER
START, KALEN BALLAGE OR KENYAN DRAKE?Don't let Titans RB Derrick Henry's Week 14
238-yard performance fool you, the Jaguars defense is tough against the run.
It's likely that neither Ballage nor Drake have big weeks, but Ballage should
have volume on his side. Ballage out-carried Drake by a 12 to 1 margin in Week
15 and he wasn't even the Dolphins starting RB. Be wary of overrating Ballage's
123-yard rushing performance from Week 15. Consider that 75 yards of it came on
one play.CAN CHARGERS WR MIKE WILLIAMS BE EXPECTED TO HAVE ANOTHER BIG
WEEK?Williams took advantage of a good matchup against the Chiefs in Week 15 and
rewarded his fantasy owners with three TDs. He takes on the Ravens, who've given
up the fourth fewest FPPG to WRs. Williams averaged 63 receiving yards and a TD
per game after Week 3 and looked like he'd develop into a potential low-end WR2.
However, he inexplicably faded for most of the rest of the season. His
inconsistency, tough Week 16
matchup
Kenyan
Drake Jersey , and the fact that Chargers WR Keenan Allen may play this
week make Williams a player to avoid.WILL SAINTS QB DREW BREES BREAK OUT OF HIS
THREE-GAME SLUMP?Brees has averaged 177 passing yards and threw two TDs and
three interceptions in his last three games, all on the road. He's playing at
home against the Steelers, who have given up the eighth most FPPG to QBs over
the past four weeks. Brees has some pretty striking home/road splits which make
him a good bounce-back candidate this week. Brees averages just under 321
passing yards per game and has 9.77 yards per pass attempt (Y/A) in his home
games. On the road, he averages just under 218 passing yards and just 6.88
Y/A.CAN COLTS RB MARLON MACK BE COUNTED ON TO BUILD UPON HIS BIG WEEK 15?Yes.
The Colts win more games when Luck has fewer pass attempts. Mack led Colts RBs
in snaps percentage played and carries in Week 15. Luck only had to throw the
ball 27 times as they shut out the Cowboys in Week 15. The Giants run defense
was smothered by Titans RBs last week as they rushed for 205 yards and scored
two TDs. The Giants also give up the fifth-most FPPG to RBs.WITH JOSH GORDON
SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY, ARE THERE ANY PATRIOTS RECEIVERS THAT COULD SEE AN
UPTICK IN PRODUCTION?The only Patriots receiver that can be trusted in your
fantasy lineups this week is Julian Edelman. Chris Hogan and Phillip Dorsett
could get more targets but their season-long inconsistency makes them risky
starts. In addition, the Bills give up the sixth-fewest FPPG to WRs, making it
more likely that the Patriots will run the ball a bit more this week.WHAT TYPE
OF PRODUCTION CAN WE EXPECT FROM TODD GURLEY THIS WEEK?There's no question that
Gurley has an underlying injury that will potentially limit his production. His
progress needs to be monitored as game time approaches. Be prepared to bench him
if need be. He's rushed for 55 or fewer yards in three of his last four games
and while he has a plus matchup in a very winnable game against the Cardinals,
don't be surprised if the Rams limit Gurley's snaps or even make him inactive.
They might want to ensure he's healthy for their real life playoff run. If
Gurley is forced to sit, his backup John Kelly would be the preferred play. The
Cardinals give up the fourth-most FPPG. Well, that didn¡¯t take long. Just four

In The Big AppleTrevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports Well, that didn¡¯t take long.
Just four months after having been hired by the New York Jets to become their
head coach, Adam Gase has won a stunning power struggle in New York and
engineered the ouster of former Jets GM Mike Maccagnan. What¡¯s more, Gase has
also been named interim GM by the team¡¯s ownership, and will almost certainly
have considerable input into who Woody and Chris Johnson ultimately bring in to
run the team¡¯s personnel department.This is just the latest chapter in the the
rollercoaster like, often incestuous soap opera known as the AFC East. Rex Ryan
became head coach of the Jets in 2009, and promptly stated that he didn¡¯t become
their coach to ¡°kiss Bill Belichick¡¯s rings¡±. Upon being fired by the Jets six
seasons
later
Xavien
Howard Jersey , Ryan would go on to coach their in state rival and fellow
AFC East combatant, the Buffalo Bills. Belichick himself was hired by the Jets
in 2000, but immediately resigned at his introductory press conference to go to
New England instead. When the news of Gase¡¯s firing came out in January, Ryan
was said to be putting a coaching staff together, with the expectation that
Dolphins owner Stephen Ross might come calling. Mercifully, that didn¡¯t happen,
and now, in the unending game of musical chairs within the division, former de
facto Patriots defensive coordinator Brian Flores is coaching the
Dolphins.Fortunately for Jets fans, New York has a roster that, at this juncture
appears to be fairly loaded. They have a formidable defensive line and the team
has spent copiously, perhaps too much so, to bring in talent on offense to give
Sam Darnold plenty of weapons. You¡¯ll notice that Gase didn¡¯t cite Darnold¡¯s
presence as one of the main reasons he took the job, at least not overtly so. He
didn¡¯t have to. You only say that you took a coaching job because of the
quarterback when everyone knows your team has a mediocre quarterback. When a
coach says, ¡°I took this job because of the quarterback¡±, that¡¯s Latin for, ¡°For
this team to get where it wants to go, the QB has to play a lot better¡±. So
now
Laremy
Tunsil Jersey , we can expect plenty of folks to pull up Tannehill¡¯s
career stats and argue that they¡¯re better than Darnold¡¯s were as a rookie last
season. Okay.So, the Jets probably won¡¯t be much fun for us when we have to play
them for the next year or two, but they¡¯ll implode eventually. They always do.
I¡¯d also like to extend a hearty ¡®Welcome Back¡¯ (if he ever left, that is) to
SSL.128.This guy is fantastic, and the site isn¡¯t the same without him. His
recent posting of the Pink Panther¡¯s Inspector Clouseau was hilarious, and SSL
is a literary giant unsurpassed by anyone one here. Now, if I just get him to
stop calling me the King of Spain, we¡¯ll be cooking on all burners. It started
when I said a few years ago that if Dion Jordan was a linebacker in a 4-3
defense, then I¡¯m the King of Spain. He wasn¡¯t and isn¡¯t, but hey, if you want
to call me the King of Spain, anyway, that¡¯s okay. I¡¯ve been called worse, I do
declare.
