Jamison Crowder Catches Game-Winning Score In Week 16
Washington Commanders wide receiver Jamison Crowder caught both of his two targets for 14 yards and two scores during their victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon. Crowder caught his first TD reception of the afternoon in the opening quarter on a four-yard pass from Jayden Daniels. Crowder would then play the hero as he brought in second reception of the afternoon from nine yards out for the game-winning score with just five seconds remaining. Crowder only appeared in three games prior to Week 16 as he battled a calf injury for a majority of the season. Fantasy managers should monitor his usage going forward as he may become a starting option in a Washington passing attack that lacks proven options outside of Terry McLaurin.

Drake London Likely Avoids Serious Injury On Sunday
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hamstring) had five catches for 59 yards in Sunday's decisive win over the Giants. Michael Penix Jr. got the start in this one, so there were concerns about his chemistry with London and the other Falcons' receivers. However, London still had a decent showing. He did suffer a hamstring injury and didn't return. But it appears the wideout avoided a serious injury, with head coach Raheem Morris stating he felt London could have returned to the game. Of course, there was no point, considering Atlanta built a comfortable lead. At any rate, London will likely undergo some tests and potentially miss practice time during the week. But the Falcons are still alive for the postseason, meaning the team will need him out there next Sunday night against the Commanders. If he can't play, Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud III should be in line for more attention on the receiving end.

Braelon Allen Held To Three Touches In Week 16
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen carried the ball twice for five yards and caught his lone target for a five-yard gain in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Allen dealt with a back injury throughout the week but ultimately suited up for the low-scoring loss to the Rams. Whether it was the result of the back injury or the Jets trying to get Isaiah Davis more touches, Allen was barely used in the contest. He has been a high-end handcuff for much of the season but with Davis starting to siphon away some of the backup touches behind Breece Hall, Allen is a cut candidate in fantasy leagues heading into a Week 17 road matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Olamide Zaccheaus Scores Twice On Sunday
Washington Commanders wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus caught five of his eight targets for 70 yards and two scores during their victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Zaccheaus did most of his damage in the fourth quarter. He caught a four yard TD pass from Jayden Daniels in the opening minutes of the quarter and would then go on to tally an impressive 49-yard TD reception a few minutes after. Zaccheaus' yards and targets paced all other Washington wideouts this afternoon. With Noah Brown (kidney) on the injured reserve, fantasy managers should continue to expect Zaccheaus to have an increased role in the Washington passing attack. He should be in a good position to keep his momentum rolling in Week 17, facing the Atlanta Falcons who have allowed the fifth-most PPR points to opposing wide receivers this season.

Anders Carlson Makes One FG In Week 16
New York Jets kicker Anders Carlson made one of his two field goals and missed his lone extra-point try in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Carlson struggled with his accuracy in the close loss to LA, missing on a 49-yard attempt and also misfiring after the Jets' lone touchdown of the contest. Carlson has now hit 13 of his 15 field goals while appearing in games for the Jets and the San Francisco 49ers this season. He will take on the Buffalo Bills on the road in Week 17.

Terry McLaurin Extends Scoring Streak To Four Games
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin extended his scoring streak to four games on Sunday afternoon. Facing the Eagles, McLaurin brought in five of his six targets for 60 yards and a score. McLaurin found the back of the end zone on a 32-yard pass from Jayden Daniels in the second quarter. McLaurin finished the afternoon with the second-most yards and targets, in which he trailed Olamide Zaccheaus in both statistics. Over his past four contests, McLaurin has tallied six touchdowns while tallying at least 70 receiving yards in all but one game. The 29-year-old should be set up well for another productive showing next weekend against the Atlanta Falcons who have allowed the fifth-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

James Conner Doesn't Return In Week 16
Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) didn't return to Sunday's overtime loss to the Panthers. The veteran had another fantastic showing, amassing 117 yards and a touchdown off 15 carries. He also had four catches for 49 yards. Conner likely would have been more productive in Week 16. Unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury and didn't return. The 29-year-old will likely undergo testing in the coming days. However, the Cardinals can't make the playoffs, so the team may not put him out there against the Rams in Week 17. If that's the case, Michael Carter, who had 18 yards off five attempts, will presumably remain the No. 1 option out of the backfield.

Brian Robinson Jr. Has Poor Showing In Week 16
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. tallied only 24 yards on 10 attempts during their victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. He caught two of his three targets for 17 yards. While Robinson dominated the work in the backfield, he was not given as many attempts as he usually sees with the Commanders trailing throughout the afternoon. This caused quarterback Jayden Daniels to attempt a hefty 39 passing attempts. His 24 rushing yards was his lowest total in a single game this season. Fantasy managers should not be overly concerned with Robinson heading into Week 17, as the No. 2 option behind him, Jeremy McNichols, logged only two rushing attempts. The Alabama product will look to bounce back next Sunday against the Falcons, who have allowed the 10th-fewest PPR points to the position this season.

Tyler Conklin Finishes Second On Jets In Receiving In Week 16
New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin caught five of his seven targets for 59 yards in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Conklin surprisingly finished second on the Jets in receiving yards, just nine behind leader Davante Adams in the low-scoring loss. The veteran tight end has shown a nice floor in PPR leagues of late, catching 12 passes on 17 targets over his past three games. While he only has two touchdowns on the season, Conklin may be worth a look as a deep-league streaming option against the Buffalo Bills if desperate in Week 17.

Jayden Daniels Throws Five Scores In Thrilling Victory
Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels went 24-for-39 with 258 yards and five scores during their victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Daniels added 81 yards on the ground on nine attempts. He also threw two interceptions. In the first half, Daniels and the Commanders had trouble finding much consistency but were able to score 14 points. Daniels found Jamison Crowder on a six-yard TD strike and Terry McLaurin on a 32-yard pass. However, Daniels put the team on his back in the fourth quarter as he led the Commanders to a victory by putting 22 points on the board. In this quarter, Daniels found Olamide Zaccheaus twice, once from four yards out, and the other from 49 yards out. Then, the LSU product would go one to throw his fifth TD pass of the afternoon in the final seconds to clinch the victory. He found Crowder for the second time from nine yards out. This was his first five-touchdown performance of his career and he was able to do it against one of the league's top defensive units. Daniels remains a must-start QB1 heading into a Week 17 tilt against the Atlanta Falcons.

Garrett Wilson Held To 54 Yards In Week 16 Loss
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught six of his seven targets for 54 yards in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. As has been the case for much of the past month, Wilson was outproduced by Davante Adams. While not a disastrous fantasy performance, Wilson was held to 60 yards or fewer for the third straight game and fourth time over his past five contests. He has turned in just one 100-yard receiving performance since Adams was acquired in a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders back on October 15. Wilson is shaping up as a low-end WR2 heading into a Week 17 road matchup against the Bills.

Davante Adams Finds The End Zone In Week 16 Loss
New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams caught seven of his 13 targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Adams extended his touchdown streak to four straight games with an 11-yard grab in the first quarter. Unfortunately for the Jets that would be the only touchdown they would score in the low-scoring loss to LA. Adams has been on fire of late with double-digit targets in six of his seven contests while scoring six touchdowns over that span. He will be a no-brainer WR1 in fantasy heading into a Week 17 road matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Breece Hall Catches Five Balls In Week 16
New York Jets running back Breece Hall carried the ball 14 times for 52 yards and caught five of his six targets for 38 yards in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Hall led the way on the ground for the Jets as Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis combined to see just six touches in the low-scoring loss. The veteran running back has been playing through a knee issue over the past few weeks but the Jets appear comfortable enough with it that they have continued to use Hall as their lead back over the past two weeks. Hall is looking like an RB2 in fantasy heading into Week 17's road matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Aaron Rodgers Throws For 256 Yards, One TD In Week 16
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 28 of his 42 passes for 256 yards and one touchdown while losing a fumble and rushing for six yards on one carry in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. It was a rough day for the Jets offense as they managed just one touchdown against a weak LA defensive unit. Rodgers' lone touchdown pass went to Davante Adams on an 11-yard completion in the first quarter. Rodgers' lost fumble proved to be a costly one as he lost the ball on a Kam Curl sack at New York's 21-yard line in the fourth quarter, leading to a Rams touchdown pass three plays later. Rodgers will look to bounce back against the Buffalo Bills on the road in Week 17.

Olu Fashanu Ruled Out With Foot Injury
According to the team, New York Jets rookie offensive tackle Olu Fashanu (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. The Penn State product was carted off after sustaining the injury. Fantasy managers should expect Max Mitchell to operate as the starting left tackle for the remainder of the afternoon.

Sauce Gardner, Tony Adams Questionable To Return
According to Rich Cimini of ESPN, New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner (hamstring) and safety Tony Adams (ankle) are questionable to return to Sunday's game. Adams tallied an interception before leaving while Gardner tallied two tackles. Fantasy managers should expect Brandin Echols and Isaiah Oliver to have an increased role for the remainder of the game.

Drake London Questionable To Return
According to Josh Kendall of The Athletic, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game. The top wideout left in the fourth quarter. Before exiting, London caught five of his eight targets for 58 yards. His yardage total was the second-most on the team, behind Darnell Mooney. Fantasy managers should expect Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud III to see most of the targets for the remainder of the afternoon.

James Conner Questionable To Return
Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game with a knee injury. Conner sustained this injury in the third quarter. Before exiting, Conner was enjoying a nice game as he tallied 117 yards and a score on 15 attempts. He also caught all four of his targets for 49 yards. DeeJay Dallas and Michael Carter should handle most of the rushing work while Conner remains sidelined. Dallas has already found the end zone today on a one-yard reception.

Terron Armstead Active For Week 16
Miami Dolphins offensive tackle Terron Armstead (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Armstead suffered this injury during their Week 14 victory against the Jets and was unable to play last weekend in Houston. Armstead will bring a much-needed boost to this offensive unit that struggled last weekend. While this will help Tua Tagovailoa, fantasy managers show view him as a risky low-end QB1 as he will be without his No.2 wideout Jaylen Waddle (knee).

Tyreek Hill Active On Sunday
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) is active for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Hill opened the week as a non-participant in practice but was able to finish the week in a limited capacity. With Jaylen Waddle (knee) inactive, fantasy managers should view Hill as a WR1 in all formats as he should see a substantial target share this afternoon. He should be locked into all lineups and is a solid play in DFS formats.
