Taysom Hill throws one interception in Week 16.

Hill had one pass attempt against the Steelers, bombing a deep ball to the end zone for Ted Ginn Jr., but it was intercepted in double coverage. Hill showed off the big arm and has a lot of ability, but he doesn’t get enough work to be a highly-recommended fantasy option. However, perhaps he’ll draw the start and play a lot in Week 17 with the NFC’s No. 1 seed locked up for New Orleans.

Drew Brees throws one touchdown in Saints’ win over the Steelers.

Brees was 27/39 for 326 yards and one touchdown in the Week 16 victory, with the score working as the game-winning touchdown to Michael Thomas on a comeback route at the front of the end zone. It was Brees’ only touchdown of the game, but he was exceptional as usual and helped his team clinch homefield in the NFC playoffs. With a home game next week, the NFC playoffs run through New Orleans, which is going to make them tough to beat. To avoid getting rusty, it’s possible Brees and the starters still play—at least for some time—in Week 17, but we’ll see.

Tyler Higbee catches one pass in win over the Cardinals.

It went for 16 yards. Higbee can stay on the waiver wire for the season finale as Los Angles looks to earn a first-round bye.

Josh Reynolds caught two passes for 44 yards in Sunday’s win over Arizona.

Reynolds was targeted just twice, as Los Angeles was able to keep the ball on the ground against a very sub-par run defense. The No. 3 receiver in Sean McVay’s offense will look to have a bigger day in the season finale against San Francisco. Treat Reynolds as a solid FLEX option.

Eli Rogers catches one pass in Week 16.

Rodgers gained two yards on his lone reception against New Orleans. He also caught a two-point conversion. Rogers is a good real-life contributor but not an advisable fantasy option right now.

Ryan Switzer catches three passes against the Saints.

Switzer gained 18 yards on his three Week 16 receptions. The second-year receiver is a better real-life contributor than fantasy option for now.

Vance McDonald catches one pass for 49 yards in Week 16.

McDonald got past Eli Apple, who appeared to slip on the play, for a wide-open reception down the right sideline on his only catch of the day in the Steelers’ loss at New Orleans. McDonald is in the TE1 mix to end the regular season next week versus the Bengals.
