WIDE RECEIVERS

WIDE RECEIVERS
➕ Add Luther Burden (17% rostered)

While Burden is reportedly day-to-day with an ankle injury, he recorded season/career-highs in targets (7) and receptions (6) in Week 15, leading the team with 84 receiving yards.

“All options are on the table” regarding Rome Odunze’s recovery from a foot injury per Ben Johnson, meaning it’s possible he misses the rest of the fantasy season. Across the last two games without Odunze, Burden leads the Bears in targets (13), receptions (10), and receiving yards (151), per Next Gen Stats.

If Burden is able to play, he’ll continue to see strong volume as one of Caleb Williams’ top targets.

Recommended FAAB: 10-12%

WIDE RECEIVERS
➕ Add Adonai Mitchell (16% rostered)

With no update yet on Garrett Wilson’s return from IR, Adonai Mitchell remains New York’s WR1, albeit with a revolving door of quarterbacks throwing him the ball.

On Monday, HC Aaron Glenn noted that he’s “gonna evaluate who’s gonna be our QB1 moving forward”. It’s not a great situation regardless of who’s under center, but Mitchell has scored at least 17 fantasy points in two of his last three games.

Recommended FAAB: 8-10%

WIDE RECEIVERS
➕ Add Jalen Coker (6% rostered)

Over the Panthers’ last two games, Coker leads the team with a 20.5% target share and trails only Tetairoa McMillan (85.5%) in route share (78.2%), per FantasyPoints.

He has a couple tough matchups the rest of the way: Tampa Bay in Week 16 (8th-worst matchup for fantasy WRs) and Seattle in Week 17 (2nd-worst), but has emerged as Bryce Young’s number two target.

Recommended FAAB: 5-7%

RUNNING BACKS

RUNNING BACKS
➕ Add Michael Carter (6% rostered)

With Bam Knight placed on Injured Reserve, Michael Carter will be the Cardinals’ lead back the rest of the way, with Emari Demercado sprinkling in.

He has a couple favorable matchups to round out the season, too. Arizona gets Atlanta in Week 16 (11th-best matchup for fantasy running backs) and Cincinnati in Week 17 (5th-best), per RotoViz.

Recommended FAAB: 16-20%

RUNNING BACKS
➕ Add Audric Estimé (0% rostered)

Week 15 PFF Grade: 68.3

Devin Neal went down with a hamstring injury in Week 15, and Audric Estime and Evan Hull stepped up in his absence.

Estime, who caught 3 balls for 39 yards, would be my preferred add of the two. He could be a viable desperation start in Week 17, as the Saints get the Jets, the best matchup for fantasy running backs, per RotoViz.

Recommended FAAB: 8-10%

RUNNING BACKS
➕ Add Emanuel Wilson (34% rostered)

Week 15 PFF Grade: 43.5

Josh Jacobs re-injured his knee in Week 15, and he wouldn’t have practiced today if the Packers held practice, per HC Matt LaFleur.

While I’d still expect him to suit up this coming Saturday against the Bears, Emanuel Wilson would be an immediate spot start once again were Jacobs unable to go.

Recommended FAAB: 1-3%

RUNNING BACKS
➕ Add Jawhar Jordan (0% rostered)

Similar to the Josh Jacobs situation, Woody Marks left Week 15 with an ankle injury, but could have returned to the game if needed, according to HC DeMeco Ryans.

Jawhar Jordan, who ran for 101 yards on 15 carries in Marks’ absence, would be the next man up if neither Marks nor Nick Chubb (ribs) are able to go.

Recommended FAAB: 1-3%

RUNNING BACKS
➕ Add Jaleel McLaughlin (1% rostered)

Week 15 PFF Grade: 51.2

RJ Harvey sustained a rib injury in Week 15, and if he’s unable to go in Week 16, McLaughlin could step into a valuable role for fantasy.

Temper expectations, however, as the Broncos face the Jaguars in Week 16, the 8th-worst matchup for fantasy running backs, per RotoViz.

Recommended FAAB: 1-3%

TIGHT ENDS

TIGHT ENDS
➕ Add Darren Waller (38% rostered)

Darren Waller exploded in Week 15, putting up 25.6 fantasy points on a season-high 28.6% target share, per FantasyPoints.

According to HC Mike McDaniel, “everything’s on the table” in regards to a potential change at quarterback, so we may see Zach Wilson or Quinn Ewers at some point.

However, assuming competent QB play, Waller has tantalizing matchups the rest of the way: in Week 16, the Dolphins get the Bengals (best matchup for TEs), and in Week 17, they get the Buccaneers (4th-best), per RotoViz.

Recommended FAAB: 12-15%

TIGHT ENDS
➕ Add Colby Parkinson (5% rostered)

In Week 15, Parkinson logged a 58.5% route share, his second-highest of the season (trailing only 71.0% in Week 14), and posted a season-high 18.4% target share, per FantasyPoints.

He recorded career-highs with a 5/75/2 stat line, and has accumulated 6 receiving touchdowns over his last 6 games, tied for the most in the NFL during that span with Davante Adams, per Next Gen Stats.

HC Sean McVay said that Tyler Higbee won’t be activated from injured reserve ahead of Week 16, meaning Colby Parkinson could once again have an awesome role.

Recommended FAAB: 6-8%
