Huge day tomorrow. Huge, huge, huge. So let's get into it: the most notable fantasy storyline for each Sunday team:
Chiefs -- The return of Marquise "Hollywood" Brown, who might be more of a name than a fantasy talent at this stage. His average yards-per-target and yards-after-catch have each dropped continually since 2019, reaching season-lows last season. Will his presence be a noticeable net-negative for DeAndre Hopkins and/or Xavier Worthy?
Texans -- C.J. Stroud has five TD passes in his last three games; he had only two in his prior five games. That's . . . improvement. Can he finish strong?
Ravens -- Derrick Henry hasn't topped 14.1 fantasy points in any of his last five games, after exceeding 14.1 in his prior eight contests. Not coincidentally, he hasn't scored in his last three games . . . after scoring in each of his previous 11 contests.
Steelers -- Russell Wilson gets (and deserves) a lot of credit for Pittsburgh's success. But in fantasy he's scored less than 14 points in three of his last five games, and 16.0 in a fourth. Only one blow-up performance since Week 8.
Panthers -- Will Jalen Coker continue to earn enough targets to be deep-league streamable?
Cardinals -- Kyler Murray has career-lows in targets per game and carries per game. But he's averaging a career-high 7.2 yards per carry. Is he doing a better job picking and choosing optimal moments to run? Or is there untapped upside?
Commanders -- A potential statement game for Jayden Daniels, who mustered only 13.4 fantasy points in his first matchup against Philly. He's been on fire since then. Is he a safe must-start?
Eagles -- On the road, Jalen Hurts is averaging 4.4 fewer targets, 37 fewer passing yards, 3.6 fewer carries, and 19 fewer rushing yards per game. Not a big deal, and in the fantasy playoffs, it might matter.
Jets -- Is it at all possible that Isaiah Davis is the better dynasty stash than Braelon Allen?
Rams -- How will Cooper Kupp respond after his zero-target outing?
Colts -- Anthony Richardson scored more fantasy points in Weeks 11, 12, 13, and 15 than he did in any of his previous five games. Is he turning a corner?
Titans -- What impact, if any, will Mason Rudolph have on this offense?
Bengals -- Four seemingly obvious must-start options, so nothing notable to share/ask. But Ja'Marr Chase is on pace to have one of the best fantasy WR campaigns in history.
Browns -- Will this offense mostly shut down with Dorian Thompson-Robinson at the helm?
Bears -- Who will lead this WR corps, and is there room for more than one wideout to be relevant?
Lions -- How much more work will Jahmyr Gibbs get, or will Detroit play it safe?
Falcons -- Michael Penix's debut. A lot could go right, and a lot could go wrong.
Giants -- Tyrone Tracy has run relatively poorly the past three weeks. A blip or a rookie wall?
Seahawks -- Is D.K. Metcalf still startable? He's cleared 10.6 fantasy points only twice in his last eight contests.
Vikings -- T.J. Hockenson hasn't scored in seven outings this year, which is a statistical oddity, especially considering Minnesota's averaged 25.9 points per game during that stretch.
Dolphins -- Is sixth-round rookie Malik Washington at all streamable?
49ers -- Is Deebo Samuel droppable at this point?
Raiders -- Sincere McCormick crashed last weekend after a strong opening to his career. Will he still get plenty of run?
Jaguars -- Travis Etienne vs. Tank Bigsby, possibly for the final week of the season.
Bills -- Is talented TE Dalton Kincaid a breakout candidate after co-leading Buffalo with seven targets in Week 15?
Patriots -- Demario Douglas is still clinging to semi-relevance.
Cowboys -- As with previous weeks, how much can/should we trust Cooper Rush?
Buccaneers -- For the 11th or 12th time, Bucky Irving versus Rachaad White.
