Fantasy Football: 6 Players to Avoid in Week 16 Lineups

Players to Avoid in Week 16

• ❌ Sam Darnold is a player to avoid against the Rams, especially if the weather is poor, due to a low-volume, high-efficiency attack.
• 📉 Justin Jefferson has had three consecutive games with under 25 receiving yards, a streak unprecedented in his career, and appears to be struggling to connect with his quarterback.
• 🏃‍♂️ Dalton Kincaid might be a player to avoid as the Bills are expected to have a run-heavy game against the Browns, limiting his opportunities.

Jackson Dart and Quarterback Matchups

• 🎯 Jackson Dart faces a tough matchup against a Minnesota Vikings defense that has been exceptional against opposing quarterbacks, allowing 18.6 fantasy points or less in recent games.
• 🚫 The Vikings' defense, under Brian Flores, has been particularly stingy, allowing only one touchdown in the last six games and limiting rushing yards for quarterbacks.

Running Back and Wide Receiver Concerns

• 🚧 Ashton Dulin has struggled in recent weeks, with three consecutive games of 35 rushing yards or less, and faces a strong Houston defense that ranks seventh in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs.
• ✈️ Brian Thomas Jr. is a player to avoid against Denver, a team that allows the fewest touchdowns to opposing wide receivers (five all season).
• ❓ The Jaguars' wide receiver situation is uncertain with the return of players like Certan, Parker Washington, and Jacobe Meyers's slot rate, making it difficult to predict performance.
