Running Backs Geared for Success
Jonathan Taylor vs. tennessee Titans: Taylor is due for a breakout performance. While he narrowly missed a touchdown last week, he still racked up 107 rushing yards and has now surpassed 100 total yards in consecutive games. The Titans have been susceptible to running backs, allowing six to score at least 11 PPR points in their last five games.
Bucky Irving vs. Dallas Cowboys: irving has been a consistent fantasy producer as Week 6, averaging 17.8 fantasy points per game. While the Cowboys have improved against the run recently,irving’s high volume of touches and red zone usage make him a strong RB1 candidate.
Wide Receivers Ready to Soar
Keenan Allen vs. detroit Lions: Allen is on fire heading into Week 16.After a dominant Thanksgiving performance against the Lions, he’s averaged over 20 PPR points in three of his last four games. The Lions remain vulnerable to opposing receivers, ranking seventh-worst in fantasy points allowed to the position.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba vs. minnesota Vikings: Smith-Njigba continues to deliver extraordinary results,scoring at least 18.3 fantasy points in five of his last six games. the Vikings’ defense has struggled against wide receivers, allowing the fifth-most points to the position in the last eight weeks.
Tight Ends with Upside
Tucker Kraft vs. New Orleans Saints: Despite a disappointing Week 15,Kraft remains a viable option. He had scored double-digit fantasy points in three consecutive games prior to last week. The Saints have allowed four tight ends to score at least 9.5 points as Week 9, making Kraft a decent streaming option.
Players to Consider Benching
Quarterbacks to Avoid
Russell Wilson vs. Baltimore ravens: Wilson faces a tough matchup against a Ravens defense that has stifled quarterbacks recently. [Include specific stats about the Ravens’ defense against quarterbacks].Unless George Pickens returns from injury, wilson should be benched in most formats.
Running Backs to Tread carefully With
Rhamondre Stevenson vs. Buffalo bills: While the Bills have struggled against running backs, Stevenson’s recent lack of touchdowns and shared touches with Antonio Gibson make him a risky flex option at best.
Najee Harris vs. Baltimore Ravens: Harris has been reliable but unspectacular as Jaylen Warren’s return. This week’s matchup against the Ravens, who boast the second-fewest rushing yards allowed to running backs, presents a notable challenge.
Wide Receivers to Bench
Deebo samuel vs. Miami Dolphins: Samuel’s production has plummeted, with five straight games of 6.1 PPR points or fewer. The Dolphins’ stingy defense against receivers further diminishes his appeal.
Michael Pittman jr. vs. Tennessee Titans: Pittman has struggled to produce consistently with Anthony Richardson at quarterback. Facing a Titans defense that has been tough on receivers, Pittman is a risky play in the fantasy playoffs.
Tight Ends to Avoid
* Jake Ferguson vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: ferguson’s production has been underwhelming with Cooper Rush at quarterback. While the buccaneers have been vulnerable to tight ends, Ferguson’s recent struggles make him a risky streaming option.

Quarterbacks Ready to Ignite Your Lineup
Kyler Murray vs. Carolina Panthers: Don’t let Murray’s underwhelming season deter you.

Last week, Cooper Rush, a backup QB, carved them up for three touchdowns and 19 fantasy points.
[Choice QB Option Here]: Tua Tagovailoa vs. Miami Dolphins: Tua faces a vulnerable New England Patriots defense that’s struggled against the pass. With Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle at his disposal, Tua’s likelihood of connecting on big plays is high.
Running Backs Geared for Success
Jonathan Taylor vs. Tennessee Titans: Taylor is primed for a breakout performance. After narrowly missing a touchdown last week, he still delivered 107 rushing yards and has surpassed 100 total yards in consecutive games. The Titans have shown weakness against running backs lately, with six RBs scoring at least 11 PPR points in their last five games.
Bucky Irving vs. Dallas Cowboys: Irving has been a model of consistency as Week 6, averaging a robust 17.8 fantasy points per game. While the Cowboys have tightened up against the run recently, Irving’s high volume of touches and usage in the red zone make him a strong RB1 candidate, capable of overcoming any defensive strength.
[Insert Choice RB Option Here]: josh Jacobs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: Jacobs consistently delivers. Facing a Steelers defense that struggles against the run, look for Jacobs to rack up yards and perhaps find the endzone.
