Top Performers at WR

Eric Decker-Denver Broncos: Decker caught two of Peyton Manning’s TDs finishing with another big game with Wes Welker still sidelined. He had 10 catches on the day while being targeted 16 times while accumulating 131 yards.

A.J. Green-Cincinnati Bengals: Green was Andy Dalton’s chief target and he turned it into a big game against the Vikings. Green had a pair of touchdowns as part of his seven-catch, 97-yard performance.

Pierre Garcon-Washington Redskins: Against Dallas’s suspect secondary, Garcon continued to play like a #1 receiver for Washington regardless of who the QB was. This week he connected with Kirk Cousins for a big game finishing with a touchdown and 144 yards on 11 catches.

Demaryius Thomas-Denver Broncos: Thomas was Peyton’s other main target today finishing with 123 yards and a touchdown on his eight catches.

Nate Washington-Tennessee Titans: Although he’s been inconsistent this season, Washington had a big game against Jacksonville putting up 117 yards and a touchdown on his six catches in week 16.

David Nelson-New York Jets: Nelson was the only other receiver besides Green and Decker with multiple touchdowns. Although almost no one fantasy owners had him he caught four passes for 33 yards and his pair of scores.
