The offense was out of sync, and only handed the ball off to a running back 12 times. It was an odd decision in a game where the Atlanta pa s rush played above expectations, especially rookie , and their run defense showed a number of cracks. just couldn't get much down today, outside of a few clutch runs. With the interior pre sure throwing him off, he sailed a few throws in a fashion more akin to his pre-2015 play. also mi sed stretches of this game, and that proved to be a big difference for this offense.

The delight of all big-arm quarterback traditionalists had 2.67 yards per attempt heading into the second half. was a ma sive disappointment after a steady growth of targets. He caught zero pa ses this game. There was some garbage time production, including nine catches from and 's first career touchdown.

Cousins carved up the secondary, making some beautiful throws and spreading the wealth to his playmakers, particularly (who had a monster day). Cousins still made some ill-advised throws, but for the most part he was sharp and delivered a dynamite performance for fantasy owners who streamed him in their championship. With ruled out with a hip injury, most figured would see a big increase in touches. And they were wrong, as the team had Cousins dump off pa ses to to serve as the running game. This is what we get for thinking the Washington backfield could finally be usable in fantasy. With Thomas and Reed dominating targets, 's revenge was limited to just a handful of catches.For what it's worth, has played pretty well of late. Unfortunately that doesn't really matter in fantasy, as no one was starting him or his pa s-catchers, save . Bradford mi sed Ertz on what would have been a long touchdown, and Ertz fumbled later on, depre sing the fantasy value of an otherwise solid outing (12 rec, 114 yards, 16 targets).

Beyond that, it was a fairly pedestrian night for the rest of the Silver and Black. couldn't reach 16 points and couldn't crack double digits despite his touchdown reception.

The pa s-catchers couldn't get open and struggled with drops. fumbled. looked skittish, was sacked eight times, and threw an uncharacteristic red-zone interception. looked OK, though, averaging five yards per carry and scoring on a 28-yard touchdown reception. So there's that. and co. all delivered in fantasy, though they didn't reach their potential as the Arizona defense scored two touchdowns and completely demolished the . Neverthele s, , and all found the end zone, while cro sed the century mark in receiving yards for the fifth time in his last seven games. This offense carried plenty of fantasy teams to championship contests, and unlike others this week (, , , ) they delivered.

The more high-risk players though, like (28 total yards), (20 total yards) and (33 total yards), proved why they're considered high risk with lackluster fantasy outings. Wilson was Seattle's leading rusher with just 39 yards and saved some face with a garbage time touchdown pa s to with fewer than 20 seconds remaining in the game. Thanks to the getting out to an early lead with a scoop-and-score on defense, the game script went in Gurley's favor and St. Louis fed him the ball 19 times. He made the most of it against the tough run defense. Baldwin kept his scoring streak alive, this marking his fifth straight contest with a touchdown and his eleventh score in the last five games.

Robinson gained steady yards after the catch, and took one big play for a 90-yard touchdown. Hurns, and even came through in the red zone. turned out to be exactly what was for this team. Plenty of usage, but is just a RB2 with the pa sing game being the focal point.Playing through plantar fasciitis, took snaps from the shotgun and played very well. He fired deep bombs early to , who closed out a late season breakout campaign. He was really the only wide receiver or tight end to bust up the stat sheet for New Orleans. The true catalyst for today's second half closer was . After being out of the league for several years, Hightower is on a mi sion to make the most of his opportunity. He nearly pushed 200 total yards today, and looked as good as his stats indicate. Hightower made defenders mi s in space, and finished runs with power.

By the time the second half and overtime arrived, his flaws were already on display. He managed to loft a touchdown to on one of the first drives to appease the fantasy owners who braved the Denver secondary. Other than that, there was not much fantasy production to be had through the air. It seems the think that just because the weather is cold they need to establish . He had another poor game, while po se sed the greater stylistic advantage as a slashing running back against the Denver defense. Neither did much for fantasy, and we have to hope this situation changes in some fashion for either to recoup value in 2016. also showed his flaws in this game, but unlike McCarron, he heated up late when it counted. He uncorked a few nice pa ses to his receivers, with working deep and handling the underneath game. That seems to be the consistent usage of the two with Osweiler under center. Thomas averaged 10.1 yards per catch, and Sanders 12.4 over the last four weeks. We'll look for one last indicator of whether that is an accurate a se sment next week, if Osweiler starts, should the bring him back as the starter next season. ripped off another long touchdown run in a primetime game. Instead of looking at it with disgust because it was too late to help your fantasy team, take it as a sign that the last chapter of his fantasy relevance is not written yet.
