QB rankings:
- Peyton Manning (Broncos) at Houston – Houston averages two passing touchdowns allowed in each of their last seven games and Manning should bounce back from a meager output last week.
- Andy Dalton (Bengals) vs. Minnesota – If this game turns into the shootout that last week was for Minnesota, Dalton could have ample opportunities to succeed against the Vikings’ 30th pass defense.
- Nick Foles (Eagles) vs. Chicago – Coming off a season-high for completions and yards, Foles and the Eagles are flying high as they head into this matchup with a beat up defense.
- Phillip Rivers (Chargers) vs. Oakland – In their last three games in California, the Raiders have given up 14 touchdowns and 1,057 yards passing. Rivers also threw for 411 yards and two touchdowns in their first meeting.
- Ben Roethlisberger (Steelers) at Green Bay – Three of Big Ben’s best games this season have come against NFC North opponents, as he has already tallied 1,156 yards and seven touchdowns against the division.
- Jay Cutler (Bears) at Philadelphia
- Cam Newton (Panthers) vs. New Orleans
- Kirk Cousins (Redskins) vs. Dallas
- Colin Kaepernick (49ers) vs. Atlanta
- Drew Brees (Saints) at Carolina
- Tony Romo (Cowboys) at Baltimore
- Matthew Stafford (Lions) vs. New York Giants
- Jason Campbell (Browns) at New York Jets
- Russell Wilson (Seahawks) vs. Arizona
- Tom Brady (Patriots) at Baltimore
RB rankings:
- LeSean McCoy (Eagles) vs. Chicago – Expecting a heavy workload this week against the Bears’ 32nd ranked rushing defense.
- Jamaal Charles (Chiefs) vs. Indianapolis – After almost single-handedly lifting his fantasy owners to the next round last week with five touchdowns, Charles faces another beatable matchup with the 27th ranked rushing defense of Indianapolis.
- Reggie Bush (Lions) vs. New York Giants – Finally off the injury report and started strong on Monday night with a touchdown early, which bodes well for his Week 16 output as long as the offense avoids turnovers.
- Eddie Lacy (Packers) vs. Pittsburgh – With Aaron Rodgers out another week, Lacy is poised for another decent matchup against a middle-of-the-pack Pittsburgh Rushing defense.
- Matt Forte (Bears) at Philadelphia – Philly gave up three rushing touchdowns to the Vikings’ third-string running back, and with Cutler back for the Bears ball security will be at a premium for Forte.
- Rashad Jennings (Oakland) at San Diego
- Alfred Morris (Redskins) vs. Dallas
- Chris Johnson (Titans) at Jacksonville
- Knowshon Moreno (Broncos) at Houston
- Giovani Bernard (Bengals) vs. Minnesota
- DeMarco Murray (Cowboys) at Washington
- Zac Stacy (Rams) at Tampa Bay
- Adrian Peterson (Vikings) at Cincinnati
- Marshawn Lynch (Seahawks) vs. Arizona
- Bobby Rainey (Buccaneers) at St. Louis
WR rankings:
- Josh Gordon (Browns) at New York Jets – Gordon made it interesting by not scoring until garbage time late against the Bears, but he faces a Jets’ pass defense that ranks 26th in the league this week.
- Calvin Johnson (Lions) vs. New York Giants – An uncharacteristically bad game for Johnson Monday night as he dropped a couple balls, but should rebound against the Giants.
- Brandon Marshall (Bears) at Philadelphia – Philly got shredded by the Vikings last week, and rank 31st in the league against the pass, which provides a matchup that Marshall should be able to exploit.
- A.J. Green (Bengals) vs. Minnesota – Coming off a game where he saw 18 targets, Green will look to keep Minnesota’s streak of allowing a receiving touchdown every game since Week 2 alive.
- Antonio Brown (Steelers) at Green Bay – Threat from the slot as well as in the return game, Brown will find holes in the Packers’ 22nd ranked secondary.
- Dez Bryant (Cowboys) at Washington
- Alshon Jeffery (Bears) at Philadelphia
- DeSean Jackson (Eagles) vs. Chicago
- Pierre Garcon (Redskins) vs. Dallas
- Andre Johnson (Texans) vs. Denver
- Vincent Jackson (Buccaneers) at St. Louis
- Jordy Nelson (Packers) vs. Pittsburgh
- Demaryius Thomas (Broncos) at Houston
- Julian Edelman (Patriots) at Baltimore
- Keenan Allen (Chargers) vs. Oakland
