Dion Sims catches one pass in Week 16.

Sims gained 24 yards on his lone reception (three targets) in the win over Cleveland. He’s not a fantasy option right now.

Andy Dalton, Bengals spoil Detroit’s playoff chances with 26-17 win.

Dalton was 27/41 for 238 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He connected with C.J. Uzomah from one yard away for his only score, but it was enough to play spoiler in Week 16. They will look to do the same on the road next week against the 9-6 Ravens, but Dalton won’t be a recommended fantasy option against their elite defense.

Kendall Wright catches four passes in Bears’ win.

Wright was targeted a team-high six times against the Browns, gaining 27 yards on his four receptions. The slot receiver might be the best option of the Chicago receivers next week against the Vikings, but he’s difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Golden Tate gets shutdown in Week 16 loss.

Tate caught three passes for just 14 yards, and Detroit was eliminated from playoff contention after the road upset. The slot receiver has some work to do if he wants to reach 1,000 yards this year, but the good news is that he faces a Green Bay team that he has a season-high 113 yards against. Still, Tate will probably be just a FLEX in standard leagues with a boost to the WR2 ranks for PPR leagues in Week 17.

Josh Bellamy gets four targets against the Browns.

Bellamy caught three passes for 49 yards in the Week 16 win. He’s not a fantasy option, but Bellamy now has at least 49 yards in each of the last three games.

Benny Cunningham leads the Bears in Week 16 receiving.

Cunningham was targeted twice against the Browns, but he gained 62 yards (including a long reception of 40 yards). His long reception set up a 16-yard Jordan Howard touchdown in the third quarter, and it’s great to see Cunningham continuing to chip in for the Bears on offense.

Cincinnati keeps Kenny Golladay in front as Lions are eliminated from playoff contention.

Golladay caught four passes for 28 yards in the 26-17 loss. The rookie hasn’t gotten deep in recent weeks, but he will look to do so in the regular-season finale against Green Bay. Still, he’s nothing more than a lottery-ticket option for those looking for upside in the fantasy championship.
