Fantasy Football Player Notes
2025 PPR Rest of Season Rankings
|
1.
Trey McBride
ARI (at LAR)
In Week 17 Trey McBride faces the Bengals. You might not win your fantasy football league this year if you don't have McBride on your roster. Especially considering he Arizona TE can't stop scoring TDs with Jacoby Brissett under center.

Kyle Pitts Sr.
ATL (vs . NO)
Kyle Pitts is a locked-and-loaded fantasy TE1 as long as Drake London is out. Now the question remains...how does London's potential return impact Pitts? Again, it's probably a moot point given the tight end position in fantasy football. Most people won't have better options. And the Cardinals are a top-10 matchup for TEs in Week 16.
We haven't seen the Pitts' splits with London and Cousins this season. With London, Pitts was averaging 6.6 points per game. Last year with Cousins/London...Pitts was averaging 7 points per game. London was upgraded to day-to-day, so he may play in Week 16. And I think these quotes by HC Raheem Morris are pretty blunt. S/O to CoachSpeakIndex: "He got the targets that Drake London would get, and he got his targets that he would normally get. 20 carries for Bijan, 12 targets for London, and 10 targets for Pitts, then some usage for Darnell Mooney, Tyler Allgeier, etc." Morris says he is "hopeful" for London to come back this week. |

Darren Waller
MIA (at NE)
Tua Tagovailoa finished with an average time to throw of 3.36 seconds in Week 15, the first qualified game of his career with a time to throw longer than three seconds.
He completed 4 of 6 attempts on dropbacks over 4 seconds for 60 yards and a touchdown, but his tendency to hold onto the ball led him to face 10 pressures (30.3% pressure rate) and take four sacks. It's the first time Tagovailoa has faced double-digit pressures in a game since Week 5 (Next Gen Stats). Two of the passing TDs went to Darren Waller, who erupted in the second half with the Steelers playing more off coverage. The big-bodied TE caught 7 of 8 targets (29% target share) for 66 yards (also drew another two-point conversion attempt). He played the most TE snaps for Miami (not the case last week). Add him and play him next versus the Bengals (and the following week versus Tampa Bay). The schedule: No.1 for TEs rest of the season. |

21.
Mike Gesicki
CIN (vs . CLE)
Mike Gesicki's struggles versus the Ravens continued. One catch for 11 yards (two downfield targets). Usage was solid though without Tee Higgins in the lineup - running a route on 76% of the dropbacks (season-high). If Higgins misses another game (still in concussion protocol as of Monday), I'd go right back to Gesicki in a better matchup versus Miami.

Isaiah Likely
BAL (at PIT)
Mark Andrews played just 41% of the snaps - lower than both Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar. Even so, the Ravens TE caught two passes for 18 yards in three targets.
Likely was such a disappointment given how involved he has been in the last two games leading up to the Bengals' matchup (especially in the red zone area). Still has 9 catches to Andrews' 7 in the last three games. Likely has been a top 12 TE in two of the last three weeks, despite two TDs that didn't convert. The Ravens only attempted 12 passes, so the passing volume was nonexistent in a game where they only ran 40 offensive plays. The Patriots are terrible in the red zone, so I think we could see these Ravens TEs bounce back (31st in passing TD allowed and 32nd in red-zone TD rate). We should see Lamar Jackson throw for multiple TDs in this game. |

25.
Colby Parkinson
LAR (vs . ARI)
Colby Parkinson recorded career-highs with 5 receptions for 75 yards and 2 touchdowns in Week 15 (7 targets).
The Rams tight end has accumulated 6 receiving touchdowns over his last 6 games (Weeks 10-15), tied for the most in the NFL during that span with teammate Davante Adams. Rookie Terrance Ferguson doesn't show up in the box score, but he had multiple chances to score on his limited targets (three targets). Also ran a season-high in routes (73%) |
