Alex Smith, QB, Chiefs. Smith had one of the least impressive five-touchdown performances you’ll ever see. He completed 17 of 20 passes for 287 yards with the five TDs and no interceptions. In a way, I guess that efficiency is pretty impressive. According to the AP’s Josh Dubow, Smith’s TD passes traveled a combined 13 yards downfield, with three coming on simple screen passes to … Jamaal Charles, RB, Chiefs....
It was a bit of struggle with injuries, direct or indirectly, plaguing our cash lineup, while Kenyan Drake was our big play. We’re looking to get back on our December heater with high allocation at running back and tight end, while finding cap space with a couple cheap receivers who get plenty enough work to top their value. Week 16 DraftKings Picks: cash lineup, advice For DraftKings’ 12-game Sunday featured slate in NFL Week 16....
If you’re in the fantasy football championship in a Superflex league, you should be starting two QBs. There’s almost no reason not to. With injuries thinning out the RB position and WRs being one of the least consistent positions in fantasy, any potential lineup decision involving a QB should be titled in favor of the QB. Sure, if you ended up having Carson Wentz on your team and little other depth, then you may have to roll with another position, but odds are if you arere in that situation, you aren’t in the championship game....
For now, we’re putting most of the banged-up backs in our rankings. We’ll adjust as needed, of course, but the projected return of those key players really makes the rankings top heavy. The RB1 and RB2 tiers don’t feature many sleepers, though Elijah McGuire and Jamaal Williams sneak into the mix and should be available on the majority of waiver wires.

Injury-wise, Antonio Brown will miss another game, so JuJu Smith-Schuster and Martavis Bryant (vs. Browns ) should have back-to-back solid weeks. With Marqise Lee also likely out, Dede Westbrook and Keelan Cole (@ 49ers) should do the same. The Drew Stanton-Larry Fitzgerald connection stayed strong, and it’ll stay strong again, even against the Seahawks. Mike Evans finally had a game over 100 yards, but now fantasy owners might feel a little queasy going up against Marshon Lattimore and the Saints this week....
The biggest variable that will present itself in Week 17 is weather. Most games are in warm locales or domes this week, but there are a few potentially worrisome spots. Oakland takes on the Broncos in Denver, which is normally a great kicking spot for Daniel Carlson and Brandon McManus in the thin air, but we’ll have to see if there will be snow on the field impacting things. The Giants host the Eagles, the Patriots host the Dolphins, the Bengals host the Browns, and the Bills host the Jets....
The Bundesliga side are still searching for their first win in Group H following a 1-1 draw in Cyprus that leaves Dortmund still six points behind titleholders Real Madrid and Tottenham in the standings. BVB 15/2 to beat Frankfurt 2-0 Sokratis Papastathopoulos’ towering header cancelled out an opening goal from Mickael Pote that was gift-wrapped by Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Burki, who compounded a stray pass by spilling a shot from Lorenzo Ebecilio straight into the scorer’s path....
Hudson-Odoi reportedly handed in a transfer request prior to the Blues’ 3-0 FA Cup fourth-round win over Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday - a game in which the 18-year-old netted a fine goal. Bayern have made a bid believed to be in the region of €35million but after the match Hudson-Odoi would not be drawn on the speculation, saying: “I’ll just keep working hard and you never know what happens”....
There is plenty of optimism in the Churchill Brothers camp ahead of the second half of their Airtel I-League campaign as the Red Machines picked up their first silverware of the season last month in the form of the club’s maiden Federation Cup title. That success has certainly surprised the entire Indian football fraternity as in the I-League Churchill Brothers are rock bottom after 13 games with just two wins all season....
Weah is one of five first-time call-ups included in a young U.S. squad named for the friendly against Paraguay on March 28. Levante fullback Shaq Moore, Bolton fullback Antonee Robinson, Manchester City loanee Erik Palmer-Brown and Reading loanee Andrija Novakovich are set to take part in their first U.S. camp as the team convenes in Cary, North Carolina. “This roster once again represents an opportunity for some new faces for myself and our staff to get to know,” caretaker U....
You might think it’s too early to play matchups – and you might be right – but you should always be exploring your options and looking for whatever edge you can find. If that means taking advantage of someone else’s bad injury luck, so be it. Follow us at @SN_Fantasy for more rankings, news, and updates throughout the week.

The Bucs-49ers game has by far the highest total at 55 points, with both teams featuring subpar defenses. The Colts are coming off an offensive explosion against the Titans and check in as the team with the highest implied team total on the slate at 30.5 points. Some other teams that are standing out that should come in as lower-owned options than any of those three are the Panthers, Bengals, Steelers, and Chargers, all of whom has implied team totals of 25 points or higher....

Texans vs. Titans. A home game against the Titans and a rookie quarterback is good news for J.J. Watt and Co. 5. Colts vs. Redskins. Robert Griffin III has been benched, leaving the passing game in the hands of Colt McCoy....
5-Star Players Drew Brees, QB, Saints. Owners might be worried here, but Brees can play through the matchup. Brees is 64-of-96 for 650 yards, 4 TDs and no interceptions in two previous visits to Seattle. It’s a bad time for Seattle to be dealing with suspensions at cornerback. He’s going to get the attempts and should produce enough to be a QB1. Marshawn Lynch, RB, Seahawks. This is Lynch’s game, and replays of his famous run will be showed in earnest....
Njoku is facing the same fantasy-friendly Cardinals defense that McDonald did. However, the beliefe is that Njoku is much more talented, despite only playing in three games this year and doing next to nothing in his return from a wrist injury in Week 14. We still like him as the top tight end pickup this week if he’s available in your league, but obviously there’s some risk.

Even “must-starts” can struggle (we were counting on you Brandon Aiyuk), but you see those types of players among our bust picks unless we legitimately advise benching them. We try to target players on the start-sit bubble – not obvious plays and not players owned in just a limited number of leagues. You might not have enough depth to bench the players below – or you might just completely disagree with our picks – but either way, it’s your team, so make the decisions that work best for you....
