DeAndre Hopkins scores against the Jags.

Hopkins couldn’t get much going for a lot of the game against the great Jaguars corners, but he eventually beat Jalen Ramsey on a go route for a 40-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Overall, Hopkins had four receptions (on 13 targets) for 80 yards and the score in the Week 15 loss. The target monster is an obvious WR1 next week against the Steelers.

Lamar Miller gets 11 touches in Texans’ loss.

Against an elite Jaguars defense in a blowout loss, Miller didn’t really play a full game with a full workload. Miller carried nine times for 32 yards along with two receptions for one yard in the loss, as it was a season-low in both touches and yardage (and his first time without double-digit carries in a game this season). Clearly, this was less than ideal for fantasy owners that decided to insert him into their lineup, but Miller should still be a fine option on Christmas in what should be a more favorable matchup against the Steelers.

Kyle Rudolph scores in Week 15 win.

Rudolph was doubtful and then upgraded to questionable against Cincinnati, and fantasy owners that rolled with him were rewarded with a one-yard score in the fourth quarter. Rudolph should be healthier for a matchup with Green Bay on Saturday night, and he’s a definite TE1 after Carolina’s Greg Olsen just broke out against them.

Adam Thielen has quiet day as Vikings dominate.

Thielen caught three passes for 30 yards, both of which are his lowest of the season. Fantasy owners shouldn’t be worried about their WR1 for the fantasy championship, though, as the Vikings didn’t air it out much because they didn’t have to. Carrying a season line of 83/1,191/4 into Week 16, Thielen should bounce back against the Packers.

Alfred Blue leads the Texans in Week 15 rushing.

Blue received most of the backfield work in a lopsided win for the Jaguars, carrying 12 times for 55 yards. Overall, he ran the ball well, but Blue probably won’t get as many opportunities in closer games. He’s not a recommended FLEX for Christmas day against the Steelers.

Stefon Diggs catches 20-yard touchdown in Week 15 win.

It came on a contested catch in the end zone, and Diggs finished with five receptions for 30 yards and the score. He also rushed once for seven yards. Diggs gets a good matchup with the Packers on Saturday night, and he should be ranked as a low-end WR2 for the fantasy championship.

Texans offense struggles against the Jaguars.

Jacksonville was all over Houston’s offense throughout the Week 15 matchup, not allowing T.J. Yates and the passing offense to get much going. Yates was 12/31 for 128 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and one fumble lost in the loss. The score came on a nice 40-yard throw to DeAndre Hopkins for Houston’s only points of the game. Yates should’ve have as much trouble on Christmas day against the Steelers, but he’s not a recommended fantasy option.
