Willie Snead catches 23-yard pass in win over the Jets.

It was his only reception of the game. Snead isn’t a fantasy option with Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara being so heavily involved as receivers, so he can be ignored in Week 16 against the Falcons.

Michael Thomas goes for 9/93/1 in win over the Jets.

Thomas had a strong day, but it could have been a huge one, as he had a touchdown overturned because his foot was out of bounds, and was also short of the goal line by inches on another occasion. Still, he’s coming through for fantasy owners in the playoffs, and he should continue to remain a solid WR1 option on Christmas Eve against the Falcons.

Alvin Kamara totals 89 yards and a touchdown in win over the Jets.

Kamara rushed 12 times for 44 yards and caught six passes for 45 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown. Outside of the touchdown reception, New York did a nice job gang tackling the rookie, but he still came away with a really good fantasy day. Kamara will likely be the focal point of the offense on Christmas Eve against the Falcons, as he was featured on the first drive of their first meeting before leaving with a concussion. He might be the top play in PPR leagues for Week 16.

Mark Ingram scores twice in win over the Jets.

Ingram rushed 12 times for 74 yards and two scores, including the highlight 50-yard touchdown run to seal the game. He also caught five passes for 77 yards. Both of the Saints’ dynamic backs continue to produce, and there’s no reason that shouldn’t continue on Christmas Eve against the Falcons. Consider Ingram a high/mid RB1 option for the fantasy championship.

Drew Brees, Saints improve to 10-4 with 31-19 win over the Jets.

Brees was 26/36 for 285 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The first score was an easy 10-yard throw to Alvin Kamara across the middle, and the second was a four-yarder to Michael Thomas. He also had another touchdown overturned on review where Thomas couldn’t get his foot in bounds, but overall, it was a solid day. Brees will face that Falcons on Christmas Eve in what expects to be a hotly-contested game, and he should stay in lineups as a solid QB1 for the fantasy championship.

JoJo Natson handles two touches in loss to New Orleans.

Natson caught a 19-yard pass and rushed once for 15 yards. The undrafted rookie has just three total touches this year, so he probably won’t make a big impact in the fantasy championship. Keep him on the waiver wire.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins has quiet Week 15 as Jets fall to 5-9.

Seferian-Jenkins caught two passes for 13 yards, though he did nearly make an unbelievable, one-handed catch that he was interfered with on. ASJ had a brief stint as a TE1 option this season, but he can be dropped with Bryce Petty in at quarterback for the injured Josh McCown.
