Robert Woods scores twice in win over the Cardinals.

Woods caught six passes for 89 yards and a touchdown, also adding two carries for 15 yards and another score. The highlight was a 39-yard catch-and-run to seal the game in the fourth quarter, as Woods walked the tightrope down the right sideline for six. Almost unbelievably, the USC product has now cleared 60 receiving yards in each of the past 14 games, and he will have as high a floor as anyone for the season finale against San Francisco. Woods is on the WR1 borderline in all formats.

JuJu Smith-Schuster goes over 100 yards against the Saints.

Smith-Schuster caught 11 passes for 115 yards with a fumble lost in the Steelers’ Week 16 loss. The lost fumble was a costly one for the second-year receiver, as it came on Pittsburgh’s final drive when they were looking for a go-ahead touchdown and were in position for a potential game-tying field goal. It was otherwise another exceptional game from JuJu, but you could see his frustration on the sideline after the costly mistake. Look for him to come out determined in a must-win game against the Bengals next week. The good news is he didn’t appear to be limited at all by his groin injury that had him listed as questionable coming into the game.

Gerald Everett caught five passes for 28 yards in Sunday’s win over Arizona.

He also rushed twice for 16 yards with Los Angeles doing a handful of end-arounds to get the offense going. Everett will again be ranked as a borderline top-15 option for the season finale against the 49ers.

Antonio Brown torches the Saints in Week 16.

Brown caught 14 passes (on 19 targets) for 185 yards and two touchdowns in the Steelers’ loss. The first touchdown was a three-yarder where Brown got wide-open in the corner of the end zone against a busted coverage, and the second was on a go route where he split the double team and caught a perfect strike from Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers did not shy away from Marshon Lattimore, who shadowed AB, which isn’t a surprise. Brown extended his own franchise record for touchdowns in a season, with 15 after this two-touchdown performance. Brown will remain a strong WR1 option to conclude the regular seasons next week against the Bengals.

Brandin Cooks bottled up in Week 16 win.

Dealing with Patrick Peterson for most of the day, Cooks caught three passes for 35 yards. He also rushed three times for 27 yards. The highlight for the dynamic deep threat came when he held on to a pass over the middle despite a crushing—and illegal—hit from the safety, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him rewarded next week in the regular season finale. Cooks currently has a 75/1,142/3 line and will be a high-upside WR1/WR2 against San Francisco.

Stevan Ridley fumbles in Steelers’ loss.

Ridley had three carries for four yards and a lost fumble against the Saints. It looked like Ridley might have been down before the ball came out, but it was way too difficult to overturn. The veteran running back will look to bounce back in a must-win game for Pittsburgh in Week 17.

Roosevelt Nix gets one carry in Week 16.

Nix had a four-yard carry on a fake punt in the fourth quarter. He came up about half a yard short of a first down, so it was pretty hilarious to see him do an elaborate celebration like he passed the line-to-gain. Nix is not a fantasy option.
