Week 16 Instant Reactions and Recap | Fantasy Football 2023

Week 16 Instant Reactions and Recap | Fantasy Football 2023

This is Sigman Bloom coming to you with the week 16 recap Camy is on assignment as the Broncos are playing on Christmas Eve what do we find under the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve for our fantasy teams let’s start out with Cleveland 36 Houston 22 Amari Cooper setting the

Franchise record 11 catches 265 and two touchdowns Josh Gordon we haven’t mentioned that name for a while that’s who held the record before Amari Cooper he is a golden ticket to the finals if you somehow had Joe flacko in a one quarterback League you were extremely happy in a two- quarterback League he

Might be your golden ticket and yes David and joku scored again as Flaco not just rescuing the Browns season re rescuing fantasy Seasons even if you don’t have Flaco uh jets are coming in next week to Cleveland now if Cleveland wins they’re probably in the play playoffs they still control their

Destiny they’re looking good here at 10 wins the Texans actually aren’t looking as bad as you think it was worse than the score indicates before garbage time all we had was a Damien Pierce kick return touchdown in this one you saw alternating Case Keenum and Davis Mills

At first and it was actually Davis Mills having a much better game in the end coming on late in garbage time helping you out if you had Dalton Schon if you had Nico Collins and least he got a score and a two-point conversion but you see the difference with Case Keenum when

It’s not the Tennessee defense when it’s the Cleveland defense one of the best defenses in the league not so much but with Tennessee coming and another division game in week 18 the Texans can still get in with two wins and next week CJ Stout would be back so even if Deon

Single TR didn’t come through for you this week he was still the lead Back Collins healthy enough to play and score Noah Brown The Big disappoint appointment in this one after having the big week last week but again if you survive this game you’re happy to have

Your Texans next week in a matchup against Tennessee moving on a game that looked like it was going to be really boring and actually ended up exciting Jets 30 Washington 28 now in this one we saw on the Washington side once again what could have happened with this Washington

Offense if they had gone with jacobe pet all season is pet for the second straight week comes in looks good uh makes this offense nowaday against a garbage time defense for the second straight week but still actually leads the commanders back from a deficit at halftime 277 to a 28-27 lead that the

Jets eventually overtake them at the end the Washington offense what you saw here Chris Rodriguez with some very stubborn tough running in deep Dynasty League you’re taking note here even though this is Brian Robinson’s backfield for now Eric benmy likes Rodriguez well theb there next year we’ll see Logan Thomas

Actually the one winner in garbage time here you knew this was going to be a tough matchup for that Washington passing game hopefully you didn’t have any Dawson or mlar McLaren or Samuel in your lineup Logan Thomas getting the touchdown otherwise three touchdowns on the ground here in the big Washington

Comeback effort this franchise is really at a dead end right now and well playing San Francisco next week that sounds like another dead end for this offense although this game wasn’t over until the fat lady Sayang or Greg zerline kicked a long field goal I think zerline is

German for fat lady singing as the Jets get a win they trying to save Robert H’s job well I know Bree Hall your second golden ticket in this one 95 yards rushing actually came through as a runner to two touchdowns and got a lot of catches late as the Jets had to

Scramble to come back and win 12 catches for 96 yards Garrett Wilson came up a little gimpy early in this one but still was nine for 76 so the Washington match up comes through at least in PPR leagues for you Trevor Simeon not great against Washington but good enough to get the

Win we actually it was mostly the running game and the defense special teams doing the work earlier in this one and with Jets playing spoiler against Cleveland next week and I guess we say every week if Robert Sol is not the coach of this team next year a franchise

Other than the Jets will get a good coach and well we’ll see what the future holds for this team moving right along in week 16 Seattle at Tennessee let’s talk about these cardiac Seahawks the Seahawks and Gino Smith a slow start but he came on in the fourth quarter and they get the

Win we saw Gino Smith with a solid passing game certainly next week against the Steelers you may even give him some low quarterback one consideration quarterback 2 two superlex super Flex leagues you are trusting him as he is healthy now Kenneth Walker’s healthy Tennessee run defense really limited him

This was more of a pass heavy game for the Seahawks which made you happy if he started Tyler Lockett who got eight catches DK metf a one-handed tow drag touchdown that was so good even the ref thought it couldn’t have been a catch upon review the touchdown drew two more pass

Interference penalties in this too bad don’t get points for those jackon Smith and jiga got a little banged up early in this one he was even solid with his six for 61 line so this offense running through Gino Smith as it probably should next week against the Steelers good for

These three wide receivers not as much for Walker although you got to leave him in despite the disappointing result today not disappointing for Seahawks fans as now they’re back in the playoffs with this comeback when we’ll see if they can finish that out Derrik Henry on the Titans side helping finish the week

Hopefully moving on for fantasy teams throws another touchdown it always works it always works why don’t they call more often and rushing for a touchdown 88 yards Henry throws it to choono so if you went with okono if you weren’t sure about your tight end options this week

Okono with the six for 63 in a touchdown line tou Spears at least had 67 total yards and five receptions nuke Hopkins kind of predictably even though Deon Withers SP was banged up out for this one not doing much the passing game not doing much Ryan tanah Hill not able to

Lead this team back to a tying field goal in a back and forth game but again as goes Derrik Henry so goes this team so goes fantasy teams not so much Ryan tanah Hill as well I don’t know what’s next for this Titans team but they have

A game against Houston they have a game against Jacksonville left so they can still determine who wins this NFC South Division that seemingly nobody wants to win we move on in week 16 and we move on to a game that saw maybe the gas run out for these Indianapolis Colts Indianapolis loses at

Atlanta 29-10 and now they have a tougher road to the playoffs after it seemed like things were coming up roses for them looking ahead at their schedule Garder mry without Michael Pitman against a decent pass defense really struggles in this one they did have a good opening drive that Jonathan Taylor finished with

A touchdown and that’s about all Jonathan Taylor did in this one so hopefully you survived Jonathan Taylor’s game and you will get a chance next week as Indianapolis goes to Houston I’m sorry Indianapolis goes has the Vegas Raiders coming maybe a better matchup and maybe they can get Michael pit

Back it looked like he was going to be playing this one as a Friday and it seems like he went backwards in the concussion protocol maybe an ominous sign as this team is trying to make a surprise push to the playoffs here speaking of surprise pushes here Atlanta

Maybe a surprise push to save Arthur Smith’s job I don’t know but you did see Arthur Smith actually go back to Bean Robinson the seven catches 12 carries 122 total yards no touchdown but if you went back to bejn Robinson you had to be happy with this result Taylor hinei

Really looked like the Desmond Ritter game plan here and Desmond Ritter throwing a lot to tight ends and running backs that’s what Taylor Hani did not as much to Drake London man you know Drake London is a good player in these game in this game the three catches he got tough

To bring down tough customer at the catch point but not enough volume here as Atlanta was able to control this game Kyle pittz comes out with a long touchdown early enough another catch and then only one other short catch for the rest of the game so you’re not at first

You thought you might have regretted benching him now well he was probably better than the option you put in but not enough that it’s going to haunt you for the offseason what might haunt us for the offseason again is if Arthur Smith can somehow sneak into the

Playoffs here save his job and uh this one could have been a little better hinei LED some field goal drives Tyler aler had a long touchdown run so the fantasy players we like for the Falcons not coming through with the massive games and they head to Chicago next week

As we see again the big story for Fantasy not so much will they make the playoffs but will they save Arthur Smith’s job did week 16 save your fantasy season well it helped if you had players in the Detroit at Minnesota game uh this one was a high-scoring game as expected and

A game where the Lions clinch their first playoff birth uh of the home game in 30 years Ford Field will indeed host its first playoff game I look forward for all of you Lions fans and hey it may not be until the division round more on that Jared gof avoids the big mistake

Passes the test against Brian flores’s defense and this one they sweat down to the end here and if they had lost this game well not even a playoff spot was assured but instead now a division title and a potential number one seed depending on how things shake out of

Course there was a lot of am Ross Brown of course there was a lot of the running game but we’re seeing jir Gibbs Jo yeah he can be a short yardage running back an effective short yardage running back so he’s the running back one David mcgomery is the running back to tough

Match up against Dallas next week but both of them are definitely going to be lineup Worthy Sam leor didn’t do as much for us in this one can’t really complain if you made it this far he was a big reason why he’ll be back in your lineup next week Jameson Williams six targets

Five catches only 43 yards but something to watch here you’re looking for what heck Flex next week against Dallas we did see you can get uh pass protection to throw deep against Dallas we’re seeing in the Miami Dallas game today perhaps you could make something happen there but Jared Goff despite some shaky

Moments leading up to this game doesn’t make the big mistake again going to Dallas if Detroit can win their last two games which includes Dallas and San Francisco loses against Baltimore on Christmas night the road to the Super Bowl will go through Detroit will not go through Minnesota Nick Mullins well depending on

Your interception dings uh maybe had a big game 411 yards two touchdowns four interceptions and he lost T.J Hawkinson and Jordan Addison during this game so what you see and what you like about MC Mullins there was a point in this game where it seemed like maybe he should be

Benched uh he was making some very poor decisions and looked like he was really out there winging it but because he was out there winging it he kept going to Justin Jefferson and Justin Jefferson has been a rough ride for the teams that took Justin Jefferson in the first round

With the number one pick because of injuries because of he’s back he’s not back but if you’re still alive then he probably helped you stay alive until next week with Addison going out with hackinson going out it was KJ Osborne with a solid game we’ll talk about him

On the waiver wire show and Brandon Powell or at least you’ll see him in the waiver wire column not sure we’ll have a waver wire show on Tuesday we’ll see folks uh holiday week hope you’re all having a tremendous holiday time leading up here on Christmas Eve Ty Chandler

It’ss a touchdown if you went with him and that’s about it as Minnesota was trailing or it was a back and forth game trailing in the second half they didn’t really rely on the run with Chandler like they did last week even though Alexander Madison was active Chandler

Got the work didn’t really help your fantasy teams now Minnesota is in the seven and eight scramble a lot of teams at seven and eight including Green Bay so next week with Minnesota and Green Bay play we can look at that as a pre-playoff game the loser of that one’s

Going to have a tough road the winner is going to have a much easier road to make the playoffs this game which was basically a game for the division for Minnesota to stay alive for Detroit to a lot of Thrills in this one and certainly a game that for Fantasy lived

Up to billing a game that very much exceeded billing for Fantasy our last early game of week 16 Green Bay at Carolina and Green Bay does escape with the win here Green Bay Jordan love massive game helping a lot of two quarterback superflex leagues teams go

On and had a good enough start that if even if you went with him over just about anybody in your one quarterback League you were happy he had two passing touchdowns one running touchdown against a team that had a good pass defense on paper statistically was that because

They trailed so much they trailed a lot in this one but Jordan LOL had a good game Aaron Jones finally looked healthy in this one didn’t get a touchdown uh didn’t have a massive fantasy result could have been a lot bigger uh AJ Dylan vultured a touchdown Jordan love vter a

Touchdown so kind of a bad beat if you had Aaron Jones in lost because he made the right move he looked terrific Romeo dos Last Man Standing as no Jaden Reed no Christian Watson Davian Wix goes out after scoring a touchdown at least with a chest injury so dos had a good game

Tucker craft is here to stay maybe when Luke Musgrave is healthy we might not be able to start either one of these guys but we know he’s a player we end up with Bo Melton former draft pick of Seattle late round pick making a contribution here as all of these wide receivers go

Down kind of Leap Frogs Malik Heath and Samari Tor here uh and very deep Le you’re watching that and again Green Bay staying alive and a win at Minnesota next week would help their cause Bryce young was it a game that really gives us

A lot of Hope was it a game that had oh that’s what a number one overall pick looks like Vibes n but you did see some good Mobility you saw him hanging in and making some throws you also saw him not able to make certain throws but you most

Importantly saw a near win well he most importantly saw a 300 yard passing game two touchdowns no interceptions uh ran for 17 yards did kept his team in it and forced Jordan love to lead a field goal Drive late after tying this one back up

At 30 DJ CH with two touchdowns not in anyone’s lineup but at least for him showing teams that maybe he has more left after an offseason surgery they hoped would bring him back to form not Jonathan Mingo who had for a few weeks at least looked like the number one

Target Adam thel did enough if he put him in and caught one that set up a potential field goal attempt but Bryce young was about one or two seconds late th didn’t hand the ball to the ref right away I don’t know if we could put that

On him but uh we saw also Tommy tremble coming on here something to watch for the future juuba Hub at least got a touchdown Smith marett getting the touchdown on a run to a secret weapon uh it wasn’t Lisa Chanel for this team that worked out it was Smith Mar set as that

Wide receiver who can also take some carries out of the backfield Chicago’s happy here again weekly reminder they’re holding Carolina’s first round pick which looks like the number one overall pick as Carolina goes to Jacksonville as we get ready to tuck ourselves in and wait for Santa Claus or

However else we enjoy this time with people that we love and care about at this holiday season I want to just touch on real quickly what’s going on in the late game games the Bucks are blowing out the Jags again nobody wants to win this division you’re counting on any

Jaguars it is a rough rough time for you in your fantasy league we’ll see if we can get some garbage time production Baker Mayfield continues to Surge Shad white gets a touchdown Mike Evans two touchdowns here the Bucks uh controller Destiny and if they can beat New Orleans

Next week this will probably be their division Cardinals in the bucks at halftime Kyler Murray not doing anything to make the Cardinals want to invest in him for the future or make anybody want to trade for him Justin Fields doing things to make the Bears want to invest

To him for the future is that the right move we’ll be talking about that a lot over the next few months we also saw James Connor get a receiving touchdown here still running the ball well so if you stuck with James Connor you’re happy with what you got so far not so much

Kyler Murray in the passing game but Kyler Murray has still done something in this one it’s Justin fields and Cole KT GJ Moore gets banged up in this one you’re not going to get much out of him sorry you are going to get a 100 yard

Game out of KT a rushing touchdown out of khil Herbert if you went with him with Dante Foreman being announced out for this one so Herbert getting his shot as this backfield continues to stay in motion and the Bears again with or without Justin Fields pretty exciting

Future for this Bears team and all their draft assets Cowboys start fast here with the dolphins coming on it was CD with just an amazing tremendous play which is routine for him not much else happening as the Miami defense B Fango every day looking good this defense

Holding the Cowboys as of right now to7 Point first half Tu aunga vioa not so much going deep to Tyreek Hill although Hill had one that could have been a long touchdown Clank off his hands there was a deep ball to Jaylen wad but actually he’s been getting it to Cedric Wilson

And Duram SMI Robbie chosen spreading it around here against the Cowboys defense and moer in this one comes out has his lineman tackle him at the goal line and land on him does come back in and get a receiving touchdown in the first half over 20 touchdowns now for him hope

Everybody gets what they want in their fantasy matchups hope everybody gets what they want in terms of the people the love and feeling like you can look around on Christmas day whether you celebrate Christmas or not and feel good about your life I know I feel good about
