Fantasy football fans are gearing up for what promises to be a crucial Week 16, with many teams just one game away from the Super Bowl. Among these predictions, Geno Smith is expected to start in place of Sam Howell under center against the Vikings, who are known to be aggressive in their two-high coverage defense.
New England quarterback Drake Maye is seen as a safe-floor and interesting-upside option for Week 16, given his ability to stay poised despite high pressure rates. Maye’s athletic prowess also makes him an occasional threat on the ground.
Wide receiver Jauan Jennings returns from injury and is primed to bounce back against the Dolphins, who have struggled with their secondary this season. Jennings’ performance will be crucial in Week 16, as he seeks to regain his WR1 form.
Tight end Trey McBride has yet to score a touchdown on the season, but faces a Carolina defense that allows the most touchdowns to tight ends and has been vulnerable against passing scores. The Panthers’ struggles make this a promising matchup for fantasy owners looking to get McBride into their lineups.
Jakobi Meyers is poised for another strong performance as he faces a Jaguars team that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Meyers’ target rate and air yards have been consistent, making him an attractive option in Week 16.
Running back James Conner continues his impressive form with the Cardinals, facing a Panthers team that allows rushing yards per game. This matchup presents a great opportunity for Conner to put up another top-10 weekly performance.
