Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 16 Rankings
|
67.
Xavier Worthy
WR - (at TEN)
With Rashee Rice out, I expect Xavier Worthy to step back into the "Rashee Rice role" this week, which had fantasy gamers so excited to draft him this summer. Last year, in Weeks 13-17, Worthy was the WR21 in fantasy points per game with a 21.3% target share, 57 receiving yards per game, 1.68 yards per route run, a 24.8% first-read share, and a 25.6% designed target rate. If Worthy gets this role back this week, he should have a strong showing. Since Week 10, Tennessee has allowed the second-most PPR points per target and the sixth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Travis Kelce
TE - (at TEN)
Travis Kelce is the TE5 in fantasy points per game with a 17.9% target share, 56.9 receiving yards per game, 1.82 yards per route run, and a 19.1% first-read share. Kelce has 11 red zone targets and seven deep targets this season. Even with Gardner Minshew tossing him passes, Kelce is a strong TE1 this week. Since Week 9, Tennessee has allowed the fifth-most yards per target and the seventh-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Kareem Hunt
RB - (at TEN)
Last week, Kareem Hunt ceded control of the Kansas City backfield to Isiah Pacheco. Hunt had only one red zone rushing attempt, while Pacheco had five. Hunt finished with a 49.2% snap rate, a 42.5% route share, seven touches, and 20 total yards. Sit Hunt this week. The Tennessee run defense has MASSIVELY improved. Since Week 11, Tennessee has allowed the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game, the fourth-lowest explosive run rate, and the eighth-lowest missed tackle rate.

Isiah Pacheco
RB - (at TEN)
Last week, Pacheco took over as the team's goalline back with five red zone rushing attempts, 11 touches, and 21 total yards. He played 45.8% of the snaps with a 35% route share. Pacheco is a flex option that is best left on the bench. Pacheco will be running behind a battered offensive line and against an improved Titans' run defense. Since Week 11, Tennessee has allowed the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game, the fourth-lowest explosive run rate, and the eighth-lowest missed tackle rate.
