Davante Adams Finds The End Zone In Week 16 Loss

Sunday, December 22, 4:31 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams caught seven of his 13 targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Adams extended his touchdown streak to four straight games with an 11-yard grab in the first quarter. Unfortunately for the Jets that would be the only touchdown they would score in the low-scoring loss to LA. Adams has been on fire of late with double-digit targets in six of his seven contests while scoring six touchdowns over that span. He will be a no-brainer WR1 in fantasy heading into a Week 17 road matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Rico Dowdle News

Rico Dowdle Held In Check By Buccaneers Sunday

Monday, December 23, 1:13 AM

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle rushed for just 23 yards on 13 carries during Sunday's Week 16 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also caught each of his three targets for an additional 28 yards through the air. Although Dowdle's pass-catching work was solid, his inefficiency on the ground counteracted some of the production he delivered through the air. Even in PPR leagues, this was Dowdle's worst fantasy outing since he took over as the Cowboys' No. 1 running back over veteran Ezekiel Elliott. The 26-year-old gets another tough matchup next week against the Philadelphia Eagles, who held Brian Robinson Jr. to just 24 rushing yards and two fumbles on Sunday.
