Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 16 Rankings
|
6.
Saquon Barkley
RB - (at WAS)
Barkley might be heating up at the perfect time for anyone who has made it this far with him. Despite producing as a middling RB2 for most of the season, we now have back-to-back RB1 games. In each of his last two games, he has had 20 carries and a score, a combination that had only happened once in the first 13 weeks of the season. To make everything even better, Barkley has the best schedule for RBs down the stretch. With the Commanders twice, sandwiching the Bills, he faces the two teams allowing the sixth and fourth most fantasy points to the RB position over the last five weeks. If you've overcome his down weeks, he should come through for you when it matters most.

A.J. Brown
WR - (at WAS)
He may have lost his streak of 100-yard games, but his 27-yard touchdown saved fantasy managers last week. Despite only having two targets and two receptions, the star wideout continued his streak of decent fantasy finishes. Just in time for the fantasy playoffs, Brown has arguably the best matchup for receivers in Week 15. Although the Commanders are only allowing the seventh most fantasy points to opposing wideouts, we have seen them be lit up by multiple weapons. In his two games against the Commanders last year, Brown combined for 23 targets, 13 receptions, 162 yards, and a score. With all the weapons on the Eagles, it's hard to know who is going to get home, but Brown has a great chance for a good game in Week 15.

DeVonta Smith
WR - (at WAS)
DeVonta Smith is the WR29 in fantasy points per game with a 24% target share, a 34.9% air-yard share, 2.07 yards per route run, and a 30% first-read share. Smith is third on the team with eight red zone targets and tied with AJ Brown for the team lead in deep targets. Smith has had a slump only one game with double-digit PPR points since Week 11. During that span, he has had only two red zone targets and exceeded 55 receiving yards only once. This week's matchup offers a nice bounce-back opportunity. Since Week 10, Washington has allowed the tenth-most PPR points per target and the third-highest rating when targeted to perimeter wide receivers.

Dallas Goedert
TE - (at WAS)
Dallas Goedert is the TE7 in fantasy points per game while garnering a 19% target share with 42.4 receiving yards per game, 1.54 yards per route run, and a 21.6% first-read share. Goedert has smashed in each of the last two games as the TE5 and TE3 in weekly scoring. He is tied for the team lead in red zone targets with 11 while also kicking in six deep targets. Goedert could be a top-five tight end again this week. Since Week 10, Washington has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game and the third-most yards per target to tight ends.
