Matthew Berry's Love/Hate Week 16: Your Fantasy Football Lifeline!
Hello, fantasy football enthusiasts! Welcome back to another thrilling edition of Matthew Berry's Love/Hate Week. We're in Week 16, the final stretch of the regular season, and the pressure is on. But don't worry, Matthew's got your back with his signature mix of insight, humor, and just the right amount of snark. Let's dive in! Guys, explore more in Guides And Explainers and matthew berry love hate week 16.
Love: The Unsung Heroes
Josh Jacobs, RB, Las Vegas Raiders
Listen up, folks! Josh Jacobs is back, and he's ready to carry your team to the fantasy promised land.
Jacobs returned from injury in Week 15, rushing for 85 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries. With the Raiders still in the playoff hunt, Jacobs is set to receive a healthy workload. His matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 16 isn't the most enticing, but Jacobs' talent and volume make him a must-start. Don't overthink it, start Jacobs with confidence.
Darnell Mooney, WR, Chicago Bears
Alright, let's talk about Darnell Mooney. This guy has been a revelation for the Bears, and he's primed for a big finish.
Mooney has topped 90 receiving yards in three of his past four games, and he's developed a solid connection with QB Justin Fields. In Week 16, the Bears face the Seattle Seahawks, who have struggled against the pass. Mooney is a WR3 with WR2 upside this week, and he's a great option in DFS tournaments.
Hate: The Disappointments
Derrick Henry, RB, Tennessee Titans
Okay, let's address the elephant in the room. Derrick Henry has been anything but the fantasy beast we've come to expect.
Henry has failed to reach 100 rushing yards in his past four games, and he's scored just two touchdowns in that span. The Titans' offensive line has been a mess, and Henry's workload has been inconsistent. In Week 16, Henry faces the Miami Dolphins, who have been tough against the run. Bench Henry if you can, or at least temper your expectations.
Tee Higgins, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
Tee Higgins has been a disappointment for fantasy managers this season, and there's no sign of things turning around.
Higgins has topped 60 receiving yards just once in his past seven games, and he's scored only two touchdowns on the year. The Bengals' passing game has been a mess, and Higgins' target share has been inconsistent. In Week 16, Higgins faces the Baltimore Ravens, who have been tough against the pass. Higgins is a risky start this week, and he's better left on your bench.
Sleepers: The Hidden Gems
Sam Ehlinger, QB, Indianapolis Colts
Alright, let's talk about Sam Ehlinger. This guy has been a revelation for the Colts, and he's primed for a big finish.
Ehlinger has played well in his two starts, throwing for 464 yards, three touchdowns, and just one interception. He's also added 104 rushing yards and a touchdown. In Week 16, Ehlinger faces the Los Angeles Chargers, who have struggled against the pass. Ehlinger is a low-end QB1 this week, and he's a great option in DFS tournaments.
Rashod Bateman, WR, Baltimore Ravens
Rashod Bateman has been a revelation for the Ravens, and he's primed for a big finish.
Bateman has topped 70 receiving yards in three of his past four games, and he's developed a solid connection with QB Lamar Jackson. In Week 16, the Ravens face the Cincinnati Bengals, who have struggled against the pass. Bateman is a WR3 with WR2 upside this week, and he's a great option in DFS tournaments.
