Fantasy Football News & Rumors

Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.

Kendre Miller tallies 46 yards in Week 15 loss
Kendre Miller rushed for 46 yards on nine carries in the Saints 20-19 loss to the Commanders. He did not record a reception on his lone target.

Fantasy Impact

Miller saw an increase in touches after Alvin Kamara exited the game with a groin injury. Kamara and the Saints will have an extra day to heal up ahead of a Monday night game against the Packers. If Kamara cannot suit up, Miller should serve as the starting running back in Week 16.

Brenton Strange has huge game against Jets
Brenton Strange caught 11 of 12 targets for 73 yards in the Jaguars’ 32-25 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

It was by far a season-high in targets, receptions, and yards for Strange, who was filling in for the injured Evan Engram. He was confined to only short gains, his longest reception was nine yards, but he made up for it with sheer volume. He could be an interesting play next week against the Raiders.

Rashod Bateman finds the end zone twice in Week 15 win
Rashod Bateman caught 3-of-5 targets for 80 yards and two touchdowns in the Ravens 35-15 win over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Bateman found the end zone on receptions of 20 and 49-yards in the second quarter. His two touchdown performance marked a new season best, and was a welcome return for fantasy managers after Bateman did not log a target in the loss to the Eagles in Week 14. Bateman and the Ravens will take on the Steelers in Week 16.
