NFL Weekly Preview Week 16 2024: Key Injuries, Difference Makers & Projected Upsets

We are headed into the sixteenth week of the season. Here are the key injuries, fantasy stars and projected upsets.

Key Injuries

Among the players not playing Week 16 or the remainder of the regular season are Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo of Seoul, South Korea (hip), Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb of Cedartown, Georgia (broken foot), Miami Dolphins wide receiver Grant DuBose of Montgomery, Alabama (shoulder), and  Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery of Cincinnati, Ohio (torn medial collateral ligament). This is the second straight year Chubb went on the injury reserve. Last year he had a season ending knee injury in week two.


Fantasy Stars

The top rated quarterback of the week is once again Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen of Firebaugh, California. Well, he has simply been on fire. Two weeks ago he had a record 57.88 fantasy points, and then last week beat the Detroit Lions 48-42 in the highest scoring game of the year. This week against the New England Patriots, Allen is projected to get 268 yards passing, 37 yards rushing and two touchdowns. At running back, the top rated player is Jahmyr Gibbs of Dalton, Georgia, who will have a lot of carries for the Lions with Montgomery out. He is projected to get 122 total yards (95 yards rushing, 27 yards receiving and one touchdown) against the Chicago Bears. At wide receiver, Ja’Marr Chase of Harvey, Louisiana is projected to get seven catches for 94 yards and one touchdown against the Cleveland Browns for the Cincinnati Bengals.


Projected Upsets

I picked two underdogs last week in Tampa Bay and the Los Angeles Rams. This week I like Seattle over Minnesota, as the Seahawks have had more time to prepare. I also like Jacksonville and San Francisco for the same reasons in terms of time of preparation. The Jaguars play the Las Vegas Raiders and the 49ers play the Miami Dolphins.
