Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 16 Half PPR Rankings

16.
Trey McBride
TE - (vs . ATL)
You may think you know that McBride is having a good year, but here are a few stats that put his performance in perspective. Currently, McBride has 41 more targets, 28 more receptions, and 274 more yards than the next highest TEs. The gap in fantasy points between McBride and the next best fantasy TE (Travis Kelce) is equivalent to the gap between Kelce and the TE 25 (Darren Waller). As a result, the fact that he plays the Falcons this week shouldn't matter. Even though the Falcons have been the third-best defense against fantasy TEs on the season, they drop to the 12th-fewest over the last five weeks. Don't worry about any of that. McBride is a true fantasy X factor this year.

Michael Wilson
WR - (vs . ATL)
Despite being outmatched against the Texans' defense, Michael Wilson managed to come through with 54 yards and a score. Considering he had 11 targets, fantasy managers may have expected more, but this Texans defense is incredible. Thankfully, Wilson has a better matchup against the Falcons in Week 15. Last week, Buccaneers' receivers combined for 234 yards against the Falcons. On the season, they are allowing the seventh most fantasy points to the receiver position. It's going to be fascinating to see Wilson's usage once Marvin Harrison Jr. returns, but until then, Wilson remains a low-end WR1.
