Dede Westbrook caught three passes for 21 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Redskins.

He also added a 20-yard rush. Westbrook has some upside, but hopefully fantasy owners don’t need to rely on him in Week 16 against the Dolphins.

Blaine Gabbert plays well in relief of Marcus Mariota (elbow) in Week 16 win.

Gabbert was 7/11 for 101 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. The veteran backup made a couple on-target intermediate throws and also threw the game-winning touchdown pass to MyCole Pruitt from one yard away in the fourth quarter. The Titans will hope Mariota is back next week in a huge game against the Colts, but if not, they will implement a run-heavy attack with opportune passes for Gabbert.

David Williams rushed five times for 32 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Redskins.

Williams hadn’t received a touch since Week 7, but he got a shot in extended action with Carlos Hyde inactive behind Leonard Fournette and T.J. Yeldon. The rookie should stay on the waiver wire, but we’ll see if he gets more opportunities over the final two weeks of a lost season.

Matthew Stafford (back) is officially questionable for Week 16.

As has been the case the last couple of weeks, Stafford should certainly be out there as he keeps up his consecutive start streak. Expect Stafford to be active when the actives and inactives are released at 11:30 AM on Sunday.

Giovani Bernard gets eight touches against the Raiders.

Bernard carried six times for seven yards and caught two passes for 25 yards in the Bengals’ Week 15 win. Bernard is not a recommended fantasy option while mixing in behind workhorse Joe Mixon.

Titans survive against the Redskins, 25-16, despite not having Marcus Mariota for the second half.

Mariota left the game at the end of the second quarter with an elbow injury, but Blaine Gabbert played well in relief to help Tennessee potentially position themselves for the No. 6 seed in the AFC. Before leaving, the starter was 10/13 for 110 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions, also adding a seven-yard carry. Of course, Mariota missed time earlier this season with a nerve issue in his arm, so hopefully he can get healthy for a possible de factor playoff game next week against the Colts. If so, he’d be on the QB2 radar.

Joe Mixon carries Bengals offense to win over the Raiders.

Mixon carried 27 times for 129 yards and two touchdowns along with two receptions for one yard in Cincinnati’s Week 15 victory. Throughout the game, Mixon gashed Oakland’s defense in a dominant showing. His first touchdown was on a fourth-and-goal run where he went low and powered into the end zone while defenders tried to stop a leaping attempt, and his second touchdown was on an outside run where he zoomed to the end zone for 15 yards. Mixon also had a career-long 47-yard run on which he put a nice juke move on Raiders safety Karl Joseph. This was one of the best games of the second-year running back’s young career, and he’s feeling it right now with back-to-back 100-yard rushing games with three scores in that span. At five rushing yards away from 1,000 on the season, Mixon will remain an excellent option in the first week of fantasy championships next Sunday against a Bengals team he had 155 total yards against in Week 12.
