Alex Smith plays great in Chiefs’ Week 16 win.

Smith and the Chiefs offense continues to roll heading into the postseason, as they’ve locked up the AFC West for the second straight year with the win against Miami. In the Christmas Eve victory, Smith was 25/39 for 304 yards and one touchdown along with four carries for 13 yards. The touchdown was on a route to the post by Travis Kelce, and it could’ve been a bigger game for Smith than it was. Albert Wilson dropped a deep ball that could not have been handed to him any better, and Tyreek Hill appeared to have a touchdown on a toe-tap in the end zone, but it was curiously ruled incomplete. It’s possible Kansas City rests its starters in Week 17 with the division locked up, so Smith might not be an option in fantasy lineups.

Cameron Brate held in check as Bucs fall to 4-11.

Brate caught three passes for 13 yards in the loss. He had the position to himself with O.J. Howard out, but Brate couldn’t do much against Carolina. He will look to bounce back next Sunday against the Saints, but he will probably be off the TE1 map in the season finale.

Bobo Wilson scores first career touchdown Week 16 loss.

Wilson, an undrafted rookie out of Florida State, caught a touchdown from 18 yards out for his only reception of the game, and the first of his career. Many might know Bobo from his time on ‘Hard Knocks’ this season, and he’s still around as a special teams player and fringe receiver. He won’t be a fantasy option in Week 17.

A.J. Derby catches one pass in Week 16.

Derby worked as the primary tight end with Julius Thomas out of the lineup, as he was targeted five times, gaining 11 yards on his lone reception. Derby isn’t a recommended fantasy option for Week 17.

Jarvis Landry loses a fumble in Dolphins’ loss.

Landry remained alive as the only player this season with five receptions in every game, catching five passes for 51 yards, but overall it wasn’t a great performance in the first week of fantasy championships. Landry was also yelling back and forth with head coach Adam Gase during the game, but those things happen and it shouldn’t be much of an issue. Landry will remain a high-floor option to end the regular season against the Bills.

Adam Humphries caught three passes for 51 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Panthers.

Humphries had a nice game, and it included a 36-yard reception on a day where Jameis Winston consistently gained chunk yardage against Carolina’s defense. The slot receiver will look to surpass 500 yards on the year (22 away) in next week’s season finale against the Saints. He won’t be a recommended fantasy option.

Kenny Stills catches four passes in Week 16.

Stills was targeted six times against Kansas City, gaining 54 yards on his four receptions. He also lost a fumble in the loss. Considering Stills was held to one catch in Miami’s Week 15 matchup with Buffalo, he’s not a fantasy option to end the season next week against them.
