Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 16 Rankings
|
15.
Nico Collins
WR - (vs . LV)
Despite being held to three catches, Collins came through for fantasy managers. On the opening drive, he took a 51-yard reception to the house, and later scored in garbage time to finish with 85 yards and two scores on the day. The Texans have been rolling, and with their elite defense, as long as Stroud continues to play turnover-free ball, they could make a run. On offense, they rely heavily on Collins and some semblance of running game. With three straght weeks finising as the WR14 or better, Collins now faces an abysmal Raiders secondary. The only concern is that the Texans' defense will swarm the Raiders' offense. In fact, the Texans' defense could probably win this game without their offense taking a single snap. As a result, there is a world where targets are at a premium once again. However, if they need to move the chains, Collins will be the g- to target.

Woody Marks
RB - (vs . LV)
Woody Marks is dealing with an ankle injury. He didn't practice until Friday this week and only logged a limited session. I worry that Marks could suit up this week, but he could see Nick Chubb and Jawhar Jordan eat into his workload some. Since Week 10, Marks has averaged 18 touches and 63.7 total yards. His main appeal for fantasy has been his volume, but that is a concern this week as Chubb practiced in full on Thursday and Friday (ribs), and Jordan played well in relief last week. If Marks gets his usual workload, he's an easy RB2 this week, but I don't know if that will happen. Since Week 11, the Raiders have allowed the seventh-most rushing yards per game, the 13th-highest rushing success rate, and the eighth-most yards after contact per attempt.

Dalton Schultz
TE - (vs . LV)
Since Week 7, Dalton Schultz has been the TE9 in fantasy points per game with six TE1 weekly finishes. Since Week 7, Schultz has had a 19.2% target share with 51.6 receiving yards per game, 1.60 yards per route run, and an 18.3% first-read share. In those nine games, Schultz has had six red zone targets and four deep targets with two touchdowns. Since Week 11, the Raiders have ranked 19th in yards per target and 17th in fantasy points per game allowed to tight ends. Schultz could be a TE1 again this week.

Jayden Higgins
WR - (vs . LV)
Since Week 10, Higgins has four top 36 weekly finishes among wide receivers in weekly scoring (WR22, WR35, WR23, WR26). Since Week 10, he has had a 16.1% target share with 39.7 receiving yards, 1.79 yards per route run, and a 19.1% first-read share. In those six games, Higgins has had four red zone targets and six deep targets. Higgins is a strong flex play again this week. Since Week 10, the Raiders have allowed the 11th-most PPR points per target and the 12th-highest passer rating when targeted to perimeter wide receivers.
