Matt Asiata: Every season has unheralded fantasy options emerge in during the playoff season and this season is no different. A big game against Baltimore awaits the Patriots in Week 16, so expect more of the same from our guy Julian. That is a 25 point per game average in PPR leagues, which is flat out nutty. Edelman is now averaging 9.3 catches, 103.5 yards and a touchdown over New England’s last four games. Edelman was targeted 19 times by Tom Brady and he snagged 13 of those throws for 139 yards and a touchdown. Julian Edelman: With Rob Gronkowski out for the season and Shane Vereen rendered ineffective on Sunday, Edelman and fellow wide receiver Danny Amendola did the heavy lifting as New England fell just short of another stunning late game comeback. The effort was aided by Donald Brown’s early exit on Sunday with a “stinger,” so keep an eye on the health of Brown this week if you are considering torturing yourself in Week 16 by starting Richardson. Now that dear old T-Rich is buried on fantasy benches and posted up on fantasy waiver wires, he decided Week 15 would be a nice opportunity for a useful performance as he rushed for 64 yards and added another 38 yards and a score through the air. Trent Richardson: In the strangest recap blurb of the 2013 season, let’s take a look at the most eye-roll worthy performance of the 2013 season. Cutler and the Bears get the Philadelphia defense in Week 16 and if Philly’s putrid attempt at containing Matt Cassel on Sunday is any indication, it should be a big week for Cutler. Cutler used his crazy weapons wisely, as both Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery topped 70 yards receiving and reeled in touchdown catches. Jay Cutler: As Josh McCown and his fantasy owners sadly looked on from the sidelines, Jay Cutler had a nice return to action on Sunday, as he threw for 265 yards and three scores against Cleveland. Week 16 should be another useful week for Kirk, as the train wreck Dallas Cowboys come to D.C. The game was a bit of a turnover-fest, with Cousins contributing two interceptions and a fumble to Washington’s seven turnovers, but it was a nice fantasy afternoon for desperate fake footballers who started Cousins.

Kirk Cousins: Mike Shanahan’s safety replacement played injury free on Sunday, so let’s consider this a victory for Shanny and the ‘Skins! Hooray! Cousins played a solid game on Sunday against a pillow soft defense as he threw for 381 yards and three scores. Lynch owners should send the San Francisco 49ers a thank you card, as their Week 15 win guaranteed that Lynch and the Seattle starters won’t be benched at all in Week 16, as Seattle still has yet to lock up the NFC’s #1 seed. Tack that onto 47 rushing yards and a score and you’ve got yourself a nice fantasy effort. Lynch set season-highs in targets and receptions (six) on his way to 73 receiving yards. Marshawn Lynch: Beast Mode had a solid outing as Seattle skunked the New York Giants, and surprisingly did most of his work in the passing game. This is a game that Charles owners, and more likely owners of teams facing JC this week, will remember for quite some time. Every fantasy owner who employs Charles on their fake football squadron is counting his or her lucky stars today, as this 51.5 point (standard league) effort surely led mountains of teams to playoff victory. Hold on one second…oh, he had a few catches? Eight? For 195 yards and FOUR more touchdowns? In a performance for the ages, our main man JC Superstar gashed the Oakland defense for 215 total yards and five scores. Jamaal Charles: Well, JC only had eight carries for 20 yards and a touchdown on Sunday. If JC sent you and your team packing, keep your head up and know that we’ll be here to get you ready for 2014! Whether your fantasy team won, lost, or was deemed ineligible for starting too many Buffalo Bills, buckle up as we scope out the highlights and lowlights from Week 15: Week 15 was another exciting week as plenty of players stepped up and led fake squads to victory, led by the amazing Jamaal Charles.
