Curtis Samuel catches one pass for 17 yards in loss to the Saints.

He also rushed twice for eight yards. Overall, Carolina’s offense was basically all Christian McCaffrey, and Cam Newton’s only accurate pass that wasn’t underneath was to Samuel in the first half. The matchup next Sunday is tremendous against Atlanta, but it might be best to avoid everyone other than McCaffrey in lineups for the fantasy championship.

Larry Fitzgerald caught seven passes for 82 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Falcons.

Fitzgerald led the team in receiving on eight targets, but it didn’t prevent Arizona from getting blown out, 40-14. Perhaps the legendary receiver will have a performance to remember in what could be his final home game next week, but Fitz won’t be a highly recommended fantasy option against the Rams, who held him to three receptions for 28 yards earlier this year.

Zach Line gets two carries against the Panthers.

Line gained six yards on his two attempts in the Saints’ Week 15 win. One carry was deemed a first down, but he appeared very obviously short of the yardage to gain on a play Carolina probably should’ve challenged. Line is not a fantasy option as more of a real-life contributor for the Saints.

Gus Edwards scores in Ravens’ Week 15 win.

Edwards carried 19 times for 104 yards and a touchdown in the home win against the Buccaneers. The touchdown came up the gut on a play Edwards has constantly been picking up positive yardage on, with the help of Lamar Jackson’s speed stressing the defense on potential quarterback keepers. Edwards now has over 100 yards in three of his last five games, and he’ll be a strong option in fantasy championship weeks this Saturday night against the Chargers.

Taysom Hill gets one carry in Saints’ win.

Hill took his lone rushing attempt 17 yards, and he again worked as a Swiss Army knife that worked as a decoy, lead blocker, and contributor on special teams. Hill is a much better real-life asset for New Orleans than he is a fantasy asset for now.

Adam Humphries catches four passes in Bucs’ loss.

Humphries gained 23 yards on his four receptions versus Baltimore. This is Humphries’ lowest receiving total since Week 2, but he had a tough matchup against one of the league’s best defenses. Humphries will look to have a stronger showing against the Cowboys in Week 16, but he’s not a highly-recommended fantasy option in championships.

D.J. Moore caught two passes for 12 yards in Monday night’s loss to New Orleans.

He also rushed once for 22 yards, but lost a costly fumble at the end of the run. On the bright side, Moore continues to operate as an every-down player alongside Curtis Samuel, but Cam Newton has seen his effectiveness as a passer fall off a cliff in recent weeks. Carolina’s first-round pick gets a cupcake matchup against the Falcons next Sunday, but he’s better treated as a FLEX option than low-end WR2.
