• The latest news from around the NFL 🏈

#12: Brian Thomas Jr. (JAX) @ LV

Thomas hasn’t always been consistent this year. But, he has developed a decent rapport with Mac Jones, earning an average of 12 targets per game over the last 3. He also has 3 touchdowns in that span. I feel safe starting him against the Raiders, who are one of the only teams truly down on Jacksonville’s level.

#11: Drake London (ATL) vs. NYG

No one really knows how the dynamics of the Falcons offense might shake out with Michael Penix taking over. But, London is still 6th in total targets and 4th in red zone targets on the year. If Penix can raise the offensive play even a bit against the Giants, London will be a big part of it.

#10: CeeDee Lamb (DAL) vs. TB

Cooper Rush has wisely leaned on Lamb for production since taking over the starting job. He now has at least 10 targets in 7 of 9 games. Tampa Bay is 7th-worst in fantasy points against by WRs, so you can safely trust CeeDee to get it done again.

#9: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA) vs. MIN

I think JSN is still consistently under-regarded because people still think DK Metcalf is the WR1 on the Seahawks. The numbers say otherwise. After a 10-catch day last week, JSN gets a Vikings team allowing the most PPG to fantasy wideouts. Follow the numbers. Start JSN.

#8: A.J. Brown (PHI) @ WAS

Brown pulled off the “squeaky wheel” approach in Week 15, going 8-110-1 vs. the Steelers. In this key divisional matchup, he should feature prominently once again. The Eagles are doing everything they can to avoid the issues that plagued them down the stretch last season. So, Brown’s a guy I’m rolling with to get to my league championship.

#7: Puka Nacua (LAR) @ NYJ

The Rams’ last game was an offensive disaster, but Puka still delivered with 7 catches for 97 yards and 11 more on the ground. The Jets coverage should make things a bit challenging for Nacua this week, but he’s a whole lot easier to trust than Cooper Kupp after the zero-catch performance. So, roll with him.

#6: Mike Evans (TB) @ DAL

Anyone who thought Evans was starting to age out of solid production got a harsh reminder in Week 15. He was nothing short of spectacular. Dallas has allowed the 6th-most receiving yards this season, so there’s no need to overthink it. Get him into your lineups however you can.

#5: Amon-Ra St. Brown (DET) @ CHI

When the Lions needed a boost in their matchup with the Bills, Amon-Ra was there. He caught 14-of-18 targets for 193 yards and a score. It doesn’t matter to me that Chicago held him relatively in check last time. Fire up the Sun God for Detroit’s get-right game.

#4: Nico Collins (HOU) @ KC

Nico didn’t tally his typical yardage total last weekend, but he made up for it by finding the end zone twice. Kansas City represents a nice challenge for Houston. But, Collins will attract the targets and there’s no reason to think the Texans won’t be throwing the football, especially with the strong run defense of the Chiefs.
