#12: Joe Mixon (HOU) @ KC

Even though Mixon is typically a set and forget kind of player, the Chiefs represent a difficult matchup, allowing the fewest fantasy points to the position this year. Additionally, Mixon has had a couple of tough games recently, rushing for just 23 yards in Week 15 and 22 yards back in Week 12. Still, if the Texans can get the offense rolling, Mixon is still worth a start.

#11: Kyren Williams (LAR) @ NYJ

Williams carried the ball a ridiculous 29 times and added 2 receptions in Week 15, continuing his role as the workhorse for the Rams. The Jets might have a somewhat solid defense, but the volume of Williams should be enough for a solid fantasy day.

#10: James Cook (BUF) vs. NE

Cook has been seriously up and down lately, finishing as the PPR RB9, 37, and 5 over the last 3 games. But, the Patriots defense has regressed this year, and with the way the Bills’ offense is playing around him, Cook should still get a shot to finish as a top 10 guy in Week 16.

#9: Chuba Hubbard (CAR) vs. ARI

Chuba’s the clear RB1 for the Panthers, and the Cardinals are a lower-than-average run defense that just allowed some big plays last weekend. Hubbard will continue his lead role and gain some yardage this weekend.

#8: Chase Brown (CIN) vs. CLE

Brown vs. the Browns isn’t an ideal matchup, but his volume over the past month and a half has been excellent. He hasn’t finished worse than 10th in PPR formats over the last 6 games. So, keep him in your lineup this weekend.

#7: De’Von Achane (MIA) vs. SF

Achane’s rushing totals have been abysmal for the last 4 weeks, with totals of 32, 14, 24, and 41 yards. Luckily, he makes up for a lot of that production in the passing game. He’s averaging 7 catches over the last 3. So, look for more short passes against the Niners, with the potential to break off a few big plays.

#6: Derrick Henry (BAL) vs. PIT

Henry is coming off his lowest fantasy output of the year because Lamar Jackson was busy taking ALL the offense. Even against a relatively tough Pittsburgh front, expect a rebound game this week.

#5: James Conner (ARI) @ CAR

Conner continues to look great, and the Panthers are still dead last in allowing fantasy points to RBs. With the broken tackles he forces, Conner is an easy start this week and has a legitimate shot to dominate.

#4: Josh Jacobs (GB) vs. NO

Jacobs has been nothing short of a revelation for the Packers this year. He’s now scored a touchdown in 6 straight games, and really serves as the consistent offensive centerpiece. New Orleans is banged up and expected to struggle on offense, meaning plenty of work for Jacobs.
