Durham Smythe catches one pass in Week 16 loss.

It went for nine yards. The rookie can stay on the waiver wire.

DeVante Parker caught two passes for 13 yards in Sunday’s loss to Jacksonville.

Parker actually led all perimeter receivers in receptions and yards, but it was obviously not a productive day with Ryan Tannehill completing just 15 passes. We can probably assume Parker will be playing elsewhere in 2019, but he will look to make an impact next week in Buffalo for the season finale. Consider him a FLEX option in deeper leagues.

Dak Prescott plays well in Cowboys’ Week 16 win to clinch the NFC East

Prescott was 20/25 for 161 yards and a touchdown along with four carries for two yards and a touchdown against the Buccaneers. The rushing score was on either a zone-read or a designed quarterback keeper where he basically walked in. The passing score was a nice fade to Michael Gallup in the end zone. The Cowboys are locked into the No. 4 seed in the NFC after their division title, so there’s a chance we don’t see Dak in Week 17.

Danny Amendola caught three passes for 40 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Jags.

He also rushed once for a loss of two yards. Amendola ended up leading the team in receiving, but he only saw three targets in a 17-7 defeat. Even in PPR leagues, fantasy owners are better off looking elsewhere for the season finale.

Brandon Bolden finds the end zone in loss to the Jaguars.

Bolden rushed four times for nine yards, also adding a four-yard receiving touchdown on the game’s opening possession. The play was a well-designed shovel pass, but the offense unfortunately ended there for Miami as their playoff hopes were dashed. Bolden will get some opportunities next week, but he’s not a recommended fantasy option.

Cameron Brate catches two passes against the Cowboys.

Brate gained eight yards on his two receptions in the Bucs’ Week 16 loss. Brate has basically needed a touchdown to deliver weekly fantasy value this season, but he did score against his final opponent of the year, the Falcons, back in Week 6.

Kalen Ballage handles six touches in Week 16 loss.

Ballage was thought to be set for a heavy workload following Frank Gore’s season-ending foot injury, but the rookie rushed just four times for ten yards, also adding two receptions for 39 yards. Buffalo can be attacked on the ground, but Ballage will carry definite risk for the season finale as he splits time in Adam Gase’s offense.
