Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell will likely remain in his deep-threat role for Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks, establishing a solid ceiling but a very low floor. This has been a familiar role for Atwell, who has just five catches through seven games this year but is averaging a whopping 15.7 yards per reception. The 26-year-old might see a slight increase in volume with Davante Adams sidelined, but since Adams and Atwell aren't very similar players, we expect most of the veteran's vacated targets to go to Konata Mumpfield and/or Jordan Whittington. Atwell will continue to operate as a big-play threat who could boom at any given time, but is far too risky to trust in Week 16 lineups. RotoBaller ranks him as the overall WR97 for this week, and he's at a disadvantage facing a Seahawks defense that has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has been terrific lately, and he'll look to extend his bout of success (as well as his three-game touchdown streak) during Thursday's Week 16 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams have made a significant effort to reduce Williams' workload so that he stays fresh for the playoffs, but even so, he has continued to operate as a mid-to-low RB1 in fantasy football. Over his last three games, he has 234 rushing yards, 23 receiving yards, and four total touchdowns. He owns a phenomenal average of 5.7 yards per carry during that span, and he's the overall RB9 in PPR leagues through 14 games this season. If Williams keeps up this pace, he'll be a top-10 fantasy running back for the third consecutive year. The 25-year-old's ability to produce on a slightly reduced workload has been terrific for fantasy managers, and that trend should continue in Week 16. While the Seahawks have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to running backs in 2025, Williams has shown that he is matchup-proof. In fact, when he faced the Seahawks just five weeks ago, he had 91 rushing yards and a touchdown. He ranks as the overall RB16 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings, but there's no doubt that he has top-12 upside. He should be started in all leagues ahead of Thursday Night Football in Week 16.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington could earn more targets during Thursday's Week 16 contest against the Seattle Seahawks with Davante Adams (hamstring) not expected to play. Los Angeles has shown an inconsistent pecking order behind Adams and Puka Nacua this year, with players like Whittington, Xavier Smith, Tutu Atwell, and Konata Mumpfield all getting different opportunities to produce. With that said, Whittington is the early favorite to step up as the No. 2 receiver alongside Nacua this week. He had two games with a snap share of at least 80% before the Rams' Week 6 bye, and he also commanded four targets in the game that Nacua missed earlier in the year. His role has dwindled lately, and his usage fell all the way down to a 6% snap share last week (partly due to injury). However, he is still one of the more established and dependable receivers on the depth chart, and he should get the first crack at earning Adams' vacated targets. With that said, he'll be going up against a strong Seahawks defense that has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Between his non-guaranteed role and a challenging matchup, Whittington isn't a dependable fantasy option in most leagues for Week 16.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Konata Mumpfield could start Thursday's Week 16 contest against the Seattle Seahawks with Davante Adams (hamstring) not expected to play. Mumpfield didn't catch a pass last week, but he still finished third among Rams receivers with his 44% snap share, trailing only Adams and Puka Nacua. He has played at least 38% of the snaps in each of his last four games, and while it hasn't amounted to much production, it's still encouraging that he has been earning snaps and running routes. Managers in a typical 12-team league shouldn't take the risk of starting Mumpfield this week, especially as he faces off against a Seahawks defense allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers. Still, he is an intriguing dart throw in the deepest of leagues. Jordan Whittington is the only true obstacle between Mumpfield and the No. 2 receiver role in Week 16, but Whittington is trending in the wrong direction after playing just 6% of snaps last week. Mumpfield currently ranks as the overall WR99 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has already been the team's most-targeted weapon, and he could take on an even larger role during Thursday's Week 16 contest against the Seattle Seahawks. With Davante Adams (hamstring) listed as doubtful to play on Thursday, Nacua could command some of his vacated targets. The 24-year-old has been phenomenal lately, catching 16 passes for 348 yards and two touchdowns over his last two games despite playing roughly half of the offensive snaps during that span. He also ranks as the overall WR2 in PPR leagues this year, even though he missed one full game (and parts of other games) due to injury. Nacua is typically viewed as more of a reception and yardage threat, but he's quietly on pace to set a new career-high in touchdowns this year. Given that Adams has been on the receiving end of more than one-third of Matthew Stafford's touchdown passes, we wouldn't be surprised to see Nacua earn more looks around the goal line and build on his own touchdown total this week. Admittedly, it won't come easy; the Seahawks have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. However, Nacua has repeatedly proven that he should be started regardless of matchup. In his last game against the Seahawks, he caught seven passes for 75 yards. He ranks as the overall WR1 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 16.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford continues to play at a high level, but he'll be without one of his favorite weapons for Thursday's Week 16 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for the primetime contest, which means that Stafford will have to find a new favorite target around the goal line. Adams has been an elite touchdown threat this season, accounting for 14 of Stafford's 37 touchdowns so far. Puka Nacua will continue to be Stafford's most-involved receiver on Thursday, and Colby Parkinson should also continue to earn more opportunities at the tight end position. Jordan Whittington and Konata Mumpfield could earn more snaps at wide receiver alongside Nacua. While losing Adams certainly hurts Stafford's fantasy value, the veteran quarterback should still be able to post low-end QB1 fantasy value with Nacua, Parkinson, and other key pass-catchers at his disposal. Managers should perhaps be more concerned about the matchup, as the Seahawks have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. They also have the fourth-most interceptions. Stafford ranks as the overall QB12 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 16.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Barring any sort of setback, he should play in Saturday's Week 16 contest against the Washington Commanders without any limitations. Bigsby is coming off his best game of the season as he recorded a 39% snap share, 17 carries, and 57 rushing yards. All three of these marks set new season-highs. The 23-year-old has mostly been buried in a depth role this season. His role behind Saquon Barkley has left him with very few opportunities compared to last season, when he stole touches from Travis Etienne Jr. and finished the year as an RB3. Nevertheless, Bigsby took full advantage of additional opportunities last Sunday. With the Eagles blowing out the Raiders, Bigsby handled a high volume of rushing attempts, albeit with limited efficiency (3.4 YPC). He remains off the redraft radar with his usage expected to come back down to earth on Saturday in Week 16 against the Commanders.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tre' Harris (hip) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys. The rookie is coming off an impressive showing against the Kansas City Chiefs in which he played a career-high 85% of the snaps, leading to five targets, three catches, and 49 receiving yards. Harris' increased workload was the direct result of Quentin Johnston (groin) being inactive, and he could see similar opportunities in Week 16 depending on which of his teammates suit up. Johnston was limited on Wednesday, while Keenan Allen (rest) missed practice but is expected to return as a full participant on Thursday. Harris has long-term WR2 or WR3 upside in dynasty leagues, but he remains tougher to trust in Week 16 lineups if Johnston, Allen, and Ladd McConkey are all active.

From RotoBaller

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (ankle, knee) remained limited during practice on Wednesday. This was the second day in a row that he practiced in a limited capacity. The 26-year-old will have one more opportunity to upgrade to a full participant before the Bears announce their injury designations on Thursday. As it stands, Kmet has a decent chance to play in Saturday's Week 16 contest against the Green Bay Packers. If he does play, though, he'll find himself competing for targets with Colston Loveland in the Bears' run-heavy offense. He is the overall TE36 in PPR leagues this season, and his 4.6 fantasy points per game since Chicago's bye week rank 42nd during that span. He can be benched in all fantasy leagues ahead of Saturday's key divisional battle.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has fallen out of fantasy relevance. Walker does not seem poised to regain his relevance in a Week 16 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Walker has recorded three straight games with 10.40 or fewer fantasy points. His last two games have fallen in single digits. He is single-handedly wrecking your fantasy team if you start him. It does not figure to get better against a Rams defense that allows the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. Walker played solidly against the Rams back in Week 11. That game marked the last time Walker scored a touchdown, and he recorded three receptions. Unfortunately, that performance seems to be an outlier. Expect the Rams to enter this week with a great game plan to handle the Seahawks' rushing attack. If Seattle wants to win this game, it will likely be through the air, leaving Walker as a flex option with little upside this week.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba figures to continue his stellar season in Week 16 despite a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The last time these two teams met in Week 11, JSN recorded nine receptions for 105 yards. Outside of a 4.30 PPR fantasy point outing in Week 13, Smith-Njigba has been matchup-proof this year. Seattle will need Smith-Njigba's services often if it hopes to win this game. Despite the talent the Rams boast in their defensive secondary, JSN should be able to overcome those challenges. Given his ability to thrive in most matchups this season, Smith-Njigba is not a player you should temper expectations for. Expect him to continue delivering WR1 numbers in the fantasy football semifinals, and set the rest of your lineup as you normally would with those expectations.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed has found his footing in Seattle's offense over the last two weeks. He has earned 12 total targets and caught nine passes for 141 yards. He does not seem to be so much of a gadget player anymore. With Seattle starting to increase Shaheed's snap count and deploy him as an outside wide receiver, he could be a viable fantasy option in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are a tough matchup, but Shaheed's superpower is his ability to hit on big plays. Big play threats can often transcend a tough matchup because all it takes is for one pass to hit over the top to make Shaheed's fantasy day. Additionally, the Rams will be busy attempting to defend Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. JSN's attention could open up deep shots for Shaheed. If you need a flex player in your fantasy semifinals, Shaheed is a solid player to look at.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is in a great position to succeed once again in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. With the Seahawks kicking so many field goals of late, Myers has scored no fewer than 13 fantasy points since Week 9. He has scored 15 or more fantasy points in three games during that span. Myers is simply recording up flex numbers for your team right now. Seattle demonstrated an ability to move the ball against the Rams in Week 11. Myers connected on four of five field goals that week, and he missed a 61-yard game-winning attempt. Expect Seattle to have similar success at home in Week 16, minus the four interceptions thrown by quarterback Sam Darnold in Week 11. Myers should have plenty of chances to swing his leg whether it be on field goals or extra points, on Thursday. His accuracy and volume have been a great combination that is driving a stellar fantasy season. Continue to start Myers with confidence this week.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner is in the streaming conversation in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. Barner continues to receive variable volume, but he played well against this team in Week 11 with 10 receptions for 70 yards. The Seahawks' offense struggled in that game, but Barner found himself open underneath quite a bit as Los Angeles sold out to prevent getting beat over the top. The Rams are No. 11 against opposing tight ends in fantasy. That places them amongst the mid-tier against the position. Barner's volume has been difficult to trust this season, but he feels due for a touchdown, and he will likely be a nice safety valve for quarterback Sam Darnold this week. If you need to simply stay afloat at the tight end position this week, there are worse options than Barner.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp will enter his second matchup against his former team, the Los Angeles Rams, in Week 16. The Rams are 24th against opposing wide receivers in fantasy, but Kupp's volume has been so low for most of the season that he has been very inconsistent for fantasy. Kupp recorded five receptions on seven targets in Week 15. However, Kupp's seven targets marked just the fifth time he had exceeded four targets in a game all season. With fellow wide receiver Rashid Shaheed's role with this offense growing, and tight end AJ Barner playing a factor, it is difficult to predict another seven-plus target game for Kupp. Kupp is a bench option for now in case his role is increasing down the stretch of the season, but he is a very risky starting option in Week 16.

From RotoBaller

Overall, it's been a disappointing 2025 season for Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin and his fantasy managers. A quadriceps injury has limited him to only seven games, and it hasn't helped that starting quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) has already been ruled out for the final three games of the season. On the bright side, the 30-year-old has 13 catches on 24 targets for 206 yards and two touchdowns in three games since his return from a lengthy absence due to his quad injury. All three of his touchdown passes on the year have come from veteran backup quarterback Marcus Mariota as well. Scary Terry played 75% of the offensive snaps in last week's win over the New York Giants, his second-highest snap share of 2025. Although McLaurin has a bad Week 16 matchup against the Eagles, he will continue to be Mariota's top aerial option, giving him weekly WR2 upside in fantasy.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is not a streaming option in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. Darnold has been in a bit of a slump over the last few weeks. He is turning the ball over far too much, and he is not throwing touchdowns. The last time these two teams met, Darnold threw four interceptions in one of the worst games of his career. While you should not expect a repeat of that performance, Darnold's touchdown upside will be capped with him, and the Seahawks' offense as a whole has been struggling to find the end zone over the past few weeks. The Rams have been one of the best defenses in the league this season. With the Seahawks boasting a stellar defense of their own, this could be a low-scoring affair on a short week. With everything on the line in the fantasy football playoffs, Darnold is not someone you want to hitch your wagon to in Week 16.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet will continue his high-risk, mid-reward season in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. Charbonnet has been up and down all season, with most of his fantasy production coming from touchdowns. He is not receiving enough rushing volume, nor is he efficient enough to hold value outside of the end zone. The Rams boast one of the best defensive fronts in the NFL. They are likely to shut down the Seahawks' running game with relative ease on Thursday night. As such, Charbonnet's main path to fantasy relevance is to find the end zone. If Seattle finds itself inside the five-yard line, Charbonnet will get a crack at the end zone. However, he has very little upside, and he carries a lot of risk. If you are hurting badly at running back, you can throw Charbonnet in your flex and hope for a touchdown. Beware that if he does not score, he could ruin your fantasy week.

From RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was an excellent acquisition by the Jags at this year's trade deadline, as he's become their No. 1 wideout. In the last five weeks, Meyers is the WR12 in half-PPR scoring with 24 catches on 35 targets for 314 yards and three touchdowns. The 29-year-old broke a three-game touchdown streak in Sunday's blowout victory over the New York Jets, but he still had a healthy five catches on seven targets for 71 yards. The week prior in the big win over the Indianapolis Colts, Meyers had double-digit targets for the third time all year and the first time since being traded from the Raiders to the Jaguars. Meyers has helped unlock Jacksonville's offense in the second half of the season. He went from averaging 50.3 yards per game and 7.2 yards per target in seven contests with the Raiders to 59.2 yards per game and 9.3 yards per target in six games with the Jags. Meyers will have a big test in Week 16 against the Broncos defense, but he'll still have WR2 upside in fantasy.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans tight end Gunnar Helm (toe) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice ahead of Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 23-year-old rookie has been trending up in the Titans' offense, outscoring fellow tight end Chig Okonkwo since the bye week. Over the last five weeks, Helm is averaging 5.0 targets, 4.2 catches, and 32.0 yards per game. He also scored his second career touchdown last Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. Moving forward, Helm should be viewed as a low-end TE2 for the rest of 2025, and he has the potential to be a low-end TE1 in future seasons if Tennessee's passing attack takes a step forward. Looking in the short term, Helm has a trickier matchup this week against the Chiefs, who have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this year. Nevertheless, Helm is a potential streamer in deep leagues given that Sunday's game script will likely force the Titans to throw the ball early and often.
