This is a tough week to make decisions. There are an abundance of receivers who seem like great plays and a lack of tight ends. Week 16’s initial lineup centers around those receivers and Christian McCaffrey.

The only plaers not discussed above were Josh Gordon and Elijah McGuire. Gordon gets a Bills defense that features a strong secondary. However he’s coming off a rough few weeks and I expect Tom Brady to look his way early on deep balls to keep the Bills defense honest. McGuire is the lead guy on the Jets who have some fight in them. He gets a Packers team that looks to have quit on the season. Finally the Browns defense plays a Bengals offense with Jeff Driskel on the road. Cleveland’s defense has been electric against weak opponents all season and that should not change this weekend.

Check back on Sunday for another iteration of this piece with injury and status updates.
