Keith Kirkwood catches two passes in Week 15.

Kirkwood’s receptions went for 21 and 19 yards, as he made a catch early in the game then made a key clutch catch late for a first down. Overall, he had two receptions for 40 yards in the Saints’ Monday night win. Kirkwood is not a highly-recommended fantasy option heading into championship matchups.

Willie Snead catches five passes in Week 15.

Snead gained a team-high 58 yards on his five receptions against the Chargers. None of Baltimore’s receivers are highly-recommended fantasy options at the moment, but Snead probably offers the highest floor of the bunch right now.

Michael Thomas catches seven passes against the Panthers.

Thomas gained 49 yards on his seven receptions in the Saints’ Week 15 victory, as Carolina did a relatively good job of limiting him and New Orleans’ passing game. However, Thomas did make some key catches throughout the night and probably played better than the numbers indicate. Thomas has been held under 50 yards in three of the last four games, so fantasy owners will obviously be hoping for huge explosive games to end the season with fantasy titles on the line these last two games.

Chris Moore scores in Week 15.

Moore caught one pass for five yards and a touchdown along with one carry for -5 yards against the Bucs. The score came on a pop pass deep in the red zone. Moore is a better real-life contributor than fantasy asset, and he’s difficult to trust in lineups heading into Week 16.

Tommylee Lewis gets one offensive touch in Week 15.

Lewis received a jet-sweep handoff with the Saints attempting to run out the clock late in the game, and he took it for four yards before getting hit and fumbling out of the end zone for a touchback while trying to extend for a touchdown. It was a mistake by Lewis, but his defense made a stop and bailed him out as the Saints completed a good team win. Lewis is not a recommended fantasy option at the moment.

Kenneth Dixon gets 12 touches against the Buccaneers.

Dixon carried 11 times for 48 yards and caught one pass for two yards in the Ravens’ Week 15 victory. Dixon ran the ball well, but it was Gus Edwards that again led Baltimore’s backfield. Dixon is more of a deeper-league FLEX option entering fantasy championships.

Matt Ryan, Falcons blow out the Cardinals, 40-14.

Ryan was 22/36 for 231 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions, also adding three carries for 18 yards and another score. The game was a good sign for Atlanta in a trying season, as it was basically a glimpse of what could have been in 2018. Ryan’s first score was a 21-yard throw to Julio Jones at the end of the first half, and he later found Justin Hardy from five yards away. The former MVP of the league gets a couple cupcake matchups (@ CAR, @ TB) to close out the year, so he will be on the QB1 map for the fantasy championship.
