Week 16 Starts

Here are 5 WRs with good matchups this weekend… in two minutes or less.

WR: DK Metcalf (PIT) @ DET

Metcalf has lived on low volume all season, but when Pittsburgh is forced to throw, his entire fantasy profile flips in a hurry.

• Coming off 203 yards and 2 TDs over his last two games

• Pittsburgh finally pushed the ball downfield in Weeks 14–15

• Detroit profiles as a clear pass-funnel matchup in Week 16

If the Lions offense forces pace, Metcalf only needs one or two explosive plays to swing a semifinal.

WR: Jauan Jennings (SF) @ IND

Jennings doesn’t win with flash, but he keeps winning with trust and touchdowns.

• Six touchdowns in his last six games

• Colts allow top-tier fantasy production to opposing WRs

• Chasing major contract incentives entering Week 16

In a matchup built for scoring chances, Jennings offers a clean path to points when it matters most.

WR: Keenan Allen (LAC) @ DAL

Keenan Allen’s box scores haven’t popped, but his role quietly stabilized at the perfect time.

• Led the Chargers in targets again in Week 15

• Playing time rose with injuries around him

• Dallas allows the most fantasy points and TDs to WRs

This is the exact matchup where Allen’s floor rises and his touchdown odds finally catch up.

TE: Darren Waller (MIA) vs. CIN

Momentum matters in the playoffs, and Waller couldn’t be peaking at a better time.

• 7 catches, 66 yards, and 2 TDs in Week 15

• Bengals rank dead last vs tight ends

• Miami funnels checkdowns where Waller thrives

If you survived last week, this is the kind of tight end spot that can carry you to the finals… and the next play might be even better.

TE: Colby Parkinson (LAR) @ SEA

Parkinson’s role has become one of the safest tight end bets in fantasy while Tyler Higbee is out, and he’s most likely not ready for Thursday.

• Six touchdowns in six games since Higbee went to IR

• Led Rams TEs in routes and targets in Week 15

• Seattle consistently allows tight ends to operate underneath

In a short-week game with Stafford playing aggressively, Parkinson doesn’t need volume to change your season.

So that’s the list. Pass-catchers who can help you advance this weekend… as promised, in 2 minutes or less.
