Good morning. If you lost in your fantasy league, remember that it’s all luck, randomness and variance.

If you won in Week 15, don’t forget how much skill and strategy goes into this. You truly are better than your leaguemates.

Good news for: Anyone who stashed Rashee Rice. The former waiver-wire, late round pick is looking like a league winner with zero meaningful competition in the Chiefs’ wide receiver room 👇️ 

TRIVIA

RANKINGS

Gus Edwards rises to RB25. Rookie phenom Keaton Mitchell tore his ACL, so it’ll be Edwards and Justice Hill leading the charge once again. The Gus Bus scored 9 touchdowns in a 5-game span before Mitchell’s emergence and should be a solid RB2 going forward.

Stefon Diggs falls to WR8. He’s still a must-start stud, but Diggs managers haven’t gotten what they paid for lately. With Buffalo spreading the ball around more — including a heavier dose of James Cook — Diggs has only eclipsed double-digit fantasy points once in his last 5 games.

Our rest-of-season 0.5 PPR rankings were updated early this morning 👇️ 

WAIVER WIRE

Running Back

Ty Chandler is probably taken but a must-add. “He finished with 26 touches, 132 rushing yards and 24.7 fantasy points against Cincinnati, the Vikings first 100-yard rusher since Week 10 of last season. He can be considered as an RB2 if Mattison remains out for Week 16. If Mattison returns, Chandler should still be considered a flex option,” per Eric Moody of ESPN.

Colts RBs Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson were both effective after Zack Moss left with an arm injury. Sermon led the pair in rushing attempts (17) and rushing yards (88), while averaging 5.2 yards per attempt.

The 23-year old Goodson has juice, rushing for 69 yards on 11 carries while averaging 6.3 yards per attempt. Zack Moss and Jonathan Taylor are both reportedly going to try to play this week, but Sermon and Goodson should be stashed. We’d prefer the younger, 4.42-speed Goodson, whom Matt Waldman compared to Austin Ekeler 👀 

Zamir White is worth a stash with Josh Jacobs’ status for this week still undetermined. Last Thursday, White had 85 total yards and one TD in an (insane) Raiders win. While he split snaps with Ameer Abdullah, White is likely to see more work — especially near the goal line. Temper expectations: the Raiders are unlikely to be in a winning gamescript against the Chiefs this week, which could mean more Abdullah.

Jerick McKinnon remains a high-upside option even with “Isiah Pacheco trending toward a return in Week 16”. Both were excellent in the closing weeks last season; McKinnon scored 9 TDs in the final six games in 2022. He's generally on the field in high-value scenarios,” per Andy Behrens of Yahoo.

Tyjae Spears impresses every time he touches the ball. An impatient owner may have dropped Spears, who has FLEX appeal against a Seattle defense that’s 5th worst in the league at defending RBs, per Pat Fitzmaurice of FantasyPros.

• Chase Brown is averaging 4.5 yards per carry in limited work behind Joe Mixon (3.9 YPC). He’ll need Mixon to miss time to see a massive workload, but Brown can take it to the house at any moment. At least one Bengals fan think he’s the best RB they have.

• D’Onta Foreman has scored 9+ FP in every Bears win he’s played in, per John Hansen of Fantasy Points. With a matchup against the 3-11 Cardinals, he’s a worthy streaming candidate.

• Gus Edwards is likely owned, but it’s worth checking.

• Justice Hill is also worth an add, as he’s likely to be the primary passing down back.
