DeVonta Smith Has Six Grabs In Week 16

Sunday, December 22, 6:54 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith had six catches for 51 yards in Sunday's three-point loss to the Commanders. The 26-year-old had a touchdown in each of the previous two games heading into Week 16. Although he didn't find the end zone in this one, he still had a decent showing, especially with Kenny Pickett taking over for Jalen Hurts (concussion). With the Eagles losing their third game this season, the team will look to turn it around versus the Cowboys in Week 17. Regardless of who is under center, Smith remains a must-start.

Chig Okonkwo Leads Titans With 81 Receiving Yards Against Colts

Sunday, December 22, 6:45 PM

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo caught nine receptions for 81 yards in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Indianapolis Colts Sunday, which was good for most on the team in both stats. Okonkwo set a new season high for targets in Week 16, leading the team with 11-;more than double the next-highest. This surpasses his previous single-game high, 10 last week against the Bengals. Okonkwo is bursting onto the scene late in the year, appearing to be Mason Rudolph's favorite option in the passing game. It's worth monitoring Tennessee's quarterback situation in the future, but if this duo can stick together, it feels very promising for Okonkwo. Fantasy managers can view him as a TE1/TE2 for the rest of the fantasy playoffs. The 25-year-old is on the streaming radar and borderline TE1 in a plus matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17.
