Matthew Stafford, Lions eliminated from playoff contention with 26-17 loss to Cincinnati.

Stafford was 19/35 for 203 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He also added a seven-yard rush, but it wasn’t enough to avoid a road upset that ends their season. The lone score for Detroit through the air came on a 33-yard catch by Eric Ebron, but the passing game struggled outside of that. Despite being eliminated from playoff contention, we’d expect a banged-up Stafford to be out there in Week 17, but he probably won’t be on the QB1 map against Green Bay.

Matt Dayes gets one carry in Week 16.

Dayes gained three yards on his lone attempt. Perhaps he’ll get more work in Week 17, but Dayes isn’t a fantasy option.

Duke Johnson Jr. gets 11 touches in Week 16.

Johnson was by far the most productive receiver for the Browns against the Bears, as he caught all seven targets for 81 yards, and he also added four carries for 20 yards. Johnson has been the most productive member of the backfield for Cleveland this year, and he’s probably a better option than Isaiah Crowell for Week 17.

Isaiah Crowell gets 13 touches in Week 16.

Crowell had 12 carries for 44 yards and one reception for -1 yards in the loss to Chicago. Despite some concerns with Crowell and Hue Jackson seeming to have a strained relationship, he worked as the primary ball-carrier for the Browns today. He’s not a great fantasy option in Week 17 against Pittsburgh.

Devin Funchess has quiet day in win over Tampa Bay.

Funchess was held to three receptions for just 11 yards, as the Panthers passing attack never really got going. The former college tight end will look to be better in the regular-season finale against the Falcons, but perhaps it’s time to downgrade him to a high-end WR2 after some recent struggles. Still, that’s worth a start for owners in the fantasy championship.

DeShone Kizer throws two interceptions as Browns drop to 0-15.

There was some snow in Chicago, but Kizer didn’t play too well in the loss. The rookie quarterback was 18/36 for 182 yards and two interceptions, along with three carries for eight yards. Kizer will attempt to help his team avoid 0-16 when they face the Steelers next weekend, and it’ll probably be Kizer’s last start for the team, as they are almost certain to bring in another quarterback this offseason.

Kaelin Clay caught two passes for 24 yards in Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers.

Clay converted a big first down in the playoff-clinching victory, but he won’t be a fantasy option in Week 17 against the Falcons.
