Jordan Leggett catches one pass in Week 16.

Leggett gained nine yards on his lone reception against the Packers. Leggett is not a recommended fantasy option heading into Week 17 against the Patriots.

Jarvis Landry shows off arm in win over the Bengals.

Landry caught four passes for 47 yards, rushed once for six yards, and uncorked a 63-yard bomb to Breshad Perriman on his only pass attempt. The receiving numbers haven’t been there for Landry as he carries a 74/874/3 line into the season finale, but Cleveland has played with a ton of fire, and they will look to get over .500 next week and bring the momentum into 2019. The 26-year-old will be a capped-ceiling FLEX against Baltimore next Sunday.

Jermaine Kearse catches four passes in Week 16.

Kearse gained 55 yards on his four receptions versus Green Bay. The veteran receiver left the game with an Achilles injury, so hopefully it’s not a serious ailment that will keep him out into next season. He’s unlikely to play in Week 17, though.

Chris Herndon scores against Green Bay.

Herndon caught six passes for 82 yards and a touchdown in the Jets’ Week 16 loss. The score came when Herndon was wide-open in the flat for five yards, but the rookie tight end’s highlight was a fantastic one-handed grab in traffic to set up an Elijah McGuire touchdown; it was one of the catches of the year. Herndon now has four touchdowns this season, and he’ll look to finish his strong rookie season on a high note next week against the Patriots. He had 57 yards against New England earlier this season.

Baker Mayfield, Browns improve to 7-7-1 with win over the Bengals.

Mayfield was 27/37 for 284 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions, also adding six carries for 16 yards. The scores all came in the red zone, first to David Njoku on a jump ball from three yards away, then to Darren Fells on a well-placed throw along the boundary on a scramble from one yard away, and finally to Rashard Higgins on a 17-yard catch-and-run. He also added a 66-yard pass to Njoku that sealed the game for good measure. Mayfield was consistent with his accuracy all afternoon, and Cleveland is now 5-2 under interim head coach Gregg Williams, who will have a real chance to get the team over .500 next week in Baltimore. The Browns will certainly be determined as they look to play spoiler, but consider Baker a low-end QB2 for a tough matchup.

Robby Anderson stays hot in Week 16.

Following up 4/76/1 and 7/96/1 outings the last two games, Anderson had another strong week against the Packers, catching nine passes for 140 yards and a touchdown. The touchdown came when Anderson got wide-open deep on a fake screen for 33 yards. You can bet the Patriots will attempt to shut down Anderson, who was held to 22 yards in their first matchup, in the season finale next week; but he has some upside if you want to roll with him in fantasy championship lineups.

Trenton Cannon gets three touches against the Packers.

Cannon had two carries for four yards and one reception for five yards in the Jets’ Week 16 loss. Elijah Mcguire (17 touches, two touchdowns) is obviously the running back to play for the Jets heading into the season finale next week versus New England.
