WEEK 16 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | |
Is Julio Jones playing this week?Jones (hamstring) has mi sed the last couple of games for the Falcons and has been dealing with the nagging hamstring injury all year long. Despite that, Jones appears to be targeting a return to the field in 2020.
According to , Jones received a PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection to his hamstring that is aimed at helping him get Kenny Vaccaro Jersey back on the field for one of the final two games this season. Fantasy owners will be hoping that it ends up being this week's Falcons-Chiefs game, as Jones figures to have a solid matchup and get plenty of targets in a game where the Falcons will likely have to throw a lot.
That said, there's no guarantee that Jones will be healthy enough to play. Soft-ti sue injuries tend to linger, and with the Falcons out of the playoff hunt, the team could play it safe with Joneseven though he's trying to avoid being shut down for the season.
If Jones doesn't play, Ru sell Gage Jurrell Casey Jersey will see a lot more volume and could be Delanie Walker Jersey a WR3 acro s from Calvin Ridley. He's definitely worth picking up if available, as he has produced at a solid clip without Jones this year.
WEEK 16 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | |
Is Kenny Golladayplaying this week?Golladay (hip) was once again unable to practice for the Lions last week. While he may be trying to return to action, it still seems unlikely that will play again this season, as he has continually been a non-participant at practice and hasn't played since Week 8.
As long as Golladay continues to mi s time, Marvin Jones will serve as the Ryan Succop Jersey No. 1 receiver for the Lions and will be a viable WR2 in fantasy. T.J. Hockenson will pick up extra targets at the TE spot, and Quintez Cephus, Mohamed Sanu, and Danny Amendola will likely round out the receiving corps. There isn't much value among those three receivers, but Amendola could be a very low-end flex option in PPR leagues since the Lions will have to throw a lot against the Buccaneers in Week 16.
WEEK 16 WAIVER WIRE: |
Is DeVante Parker playing this week?UPDATE:Parker was limited in practice on Tuesday, which is a good sign for his potential availability on Jeffery Simmons Jersey Saturday.
The Dolphins were "hopeful" that Parker (hamstring) would be able to play last week, according to , but he ultimately wasn't able to get on the field. That said, their optimism, coupled with Parker's limited participation every day at practice last week, indicates that he should have a chance to play in Week 16.
Parker's practice status will need to be watched, but so long as he isn't downgraded to a non-participant, he should be on track to play. We won't know that for sure until he logs a full practice se sion, but he seems to be trending in the right direction. Hamstring injuries can linger though, so it still needs to be tracked closely Kamalei Correa Jersey .
In the event that Parker can't play again, Lynn Bowden would continue to see an increase in reps with Isaiah Ford and Mack Hollins seeing extra playing time. Bowden would be the only one of that trio worth starting as a standard flex and PPR WR3.
Is Tyler Derrick Henry Jersey Boyd playing this week?Boyd suffered a concu sion in the Bengals' stunning win over the Steelers on Monday. Heading into this weekend's game against the Texans, he should be considered questionable, at best, as he'll have to clear the NFL's concu sion protocol on a short week. Fantasy owners should not plan on him being available for that contest. Earl Campbell Jersey
With Boyd looking unlikely to play, Tee Higgins and A.J. Green will be the top receivers for Ryan Finley against a porous Texans defense. They will have a shot to be worthwhile WR3/flex plays, and Giovani Bernard may get some extra catches out of the backfield. No other receiver would have fantasy value, especially considering that the Bengals were a higher-volume run offense with Finley under center.
