Davante Adams scores game-winning touchdown in Week 16.

Adams caught 11 passes for 71 yards and a touchdown in the Packers’ overtime win over the Jets. The overtime score was a 16-yarder on a post route after some craziness with penalties got Green Bay in position for the touchdown. The 11 receptions were a season-high for Adams, who next faces a Lions team he hit for a 9/140/1 line back in Week 5.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling catches five passes against the Jets.

Valdes-Scantling gained 75 yards on his five receptions in the Packers’ Week 16 overtime win. This was Valdes-Scantling’s highest receiving total since Week 9, so it’s good to see the rookie build some momentum heading into the season finale next week against the Lions.

Equanimeous St. Brown catches all five targets in Week 16.

St. Brown gained a team-high 94 yards on his five receptions against the Jets. He left to be evaluated for a concussion late in the game, so it appears the rookie receiver might be in concussion protocol heading into Week 17. We’ll monitor his status leading up to the finale against Detroit.

Jamaal Williams scores against the Jets.

Williams carried 15 times for 95 yards and a touchdown along with six receptions for 61 yards in the Packers’ Week 16 overtime win. The second-year running back had an excellent all-around showing as a runner, receiver, and pass protector throughout the game, and he handled all the touches in the backfield for Green Bay. The Lions aren’t an easy matchup to conclude the regular season, but Williams is at least a strong RB2 option with fantasy titles on the line in Week 17.

Aaron Rodgers goes over 400 yards with four touchdowns in Week 16.

Rodgers was 37/55 for 442 yards and two touchdowns along with five carries for 32 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers’ overtime win over the Jets. Rodgers led Green Bay to 18 fourth-quarter points to force overtime before leading the team to a game-winning touchdown drive in overtime, hitting Davante Adams for a 16-yard touchdown on a post route in the end zone. This season has been disappointing overall for Rodgers and fantasy owners, but the former MVP probably led a lot of people into a good position for fantasy titles if they are owners in title games. Rodgers faces the Lions to conclude the regular season and will remain a QB1 option in lineups.

Noah Brown catches one pass against the Bucs.

Brown gained six yards on his lone Week 16 reception. The talented receiver might get a good amount of playing time to conclude the regular season depending on how the Cowboys, locked into the No. 4 seed, play things, but there should be better options for your championship fantasy lineups.

Blake Jarwin catches two passes in Week 16.

Jarwin gained eight yards on his two receptions versus Tampa Bay. He’s not a recommended fantasy option for Week 17.
