  • AJ Barner TE | SEA

    Seahawks' AJ Barner: Touchdown drought continues

    Barner caught three of six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 18-16 win over the Colts.

    Barner has been targeted 19 times over the last four weeks, turning in 12 receptions for 107 yards and no touchdowns. After starting the season with four touchdowns through the first five games, Barner has been kept out of the end zone for nine straight contests. The second-year tight end remains the Seahawks' clear No. 1 at the position however, especially with rookie Elijah Arroyo (knee) done for the rest of the regular season.

  • Broncos' Jaleel McLaughlin: Minimal usage in win

    McLaughlin rushed two times for four yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Packers.

    McLaughlin continued to operate as Denver's No. 2 running back while playing just nine of the Broncos' 68 offensive snaps against Green Bay. Meanwhile, teammate RJ Harvey dominated the running back snap share, playing 46 snaps in the contest. The 25-year-old McLaughlin does not hold much fantasy value based on his limited usage in Denver's offense, though he remains a solid insurance policy if Harvey were to be sidelined by an injury down the stretch. Up next for the Broncos is a Week 16 home matchup against the Jaguars.

  • Jaylon Johnson CB | CHI

    Bears' Jaylon Johnson: Picks off pass in victory

    Johnson recorded one solo tackle and one interception in the Bears' 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Johnson is averaging 1.5 tackles per game this season, and this interception was his first of the year. With minimal tackle production, he remains off the IDP radar unless his usage or involvement increases.

  • Bears' C.J. Gardner-Johnson: Extends interception streak

    Gardner-Johnson intercepted a pass and added four tackles (three solo) in the Bears' 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Gardner-Johnson has interceptions in back-to-back contests and now has three on the season to go along with 3.0 sacks. With inconsistent tackle totals but frequent splash plays, he remains a big-play-dependent IDP with spike-week upside.

  • Bears' Gervon Dexter: Adds another sack in win

    Dexter recorded 1.0 sacks in the Bears' 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Dexter now has 5.0 sacks this season while recording two or fewer tackles in all but four games. His reliance on sack production makes him a boom-or-bust IDP option from the interior defensive line.

  • Grady Jarrett DT | CHI

    Bears' Grady Jarrett: Breaks through with first sack

    Jarrett posted four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the Bears' 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Jarrett recorded his first sack of the season while continuing to post between two and four tackles in nearly every contest. Despite consistent snap counts at defensive tackle, his limited statistical ceiling keeps him in the low-floor IDP tier.

  • Austin Booker DE | CHI

    Bears' Austin Booker: Registers multiple sacks in victory

    Booker recorded four tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks, in the Bears' 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Booker now has 3.0 sacks in eight games, though the two Sunday were his first since his first action of the season in Week 9. With limited tackle volume most weeks, he profiles as a low-floor IDP who provides value primarily when he reaches the sack column.

  • Cedric Tillman WR | CLE

    Browns' Cedric Tillman: Limited snap count in loss

    Tillman was not targeted over seven snaps in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Chicago in Week 15.

    Tillman battled a concussion and a rib injury during the practice week but was eventually cleared and allowed to suit up. The snap volume indicates he may not have been 100 percent, however. Tillman normally is the No. 2 wideout behind Jerry Jeudy, but he saw less action Sunday than depth WRs Malachi Corley (15 snaps) and Gage Larvadain (31),

  • Bears' D'Marco Jackson: Huge performance in victory

    Jackson posted seven tackles, including two solo, with one interception and 1.0 sacks in the Bears' 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Jackson has delivered highly variable tackle totals in four games as a starter, ranging from three to 15 stops, and this marked his first sack of the season. As long as he remains in an expanded role, his mix of splash plays and inconsistency makes him a volatile IDP option.

  • T.J. Edwards LB | CHI

    Bears' T.J. Edwards: Another steady outing

    Edwards recorded nine tackles, including five solo, in the Bears' 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Edwards has now posted more than seven tackles twice over his last seven games while never falling below four stops in any contest this season. His dependable tackle floor keeps him in the moderate-floor IDP range on a weekly basis.
