Impressive Performances

Brandin Cooks - 7 receptions, 186 yards, 2 TD

I have Cooks on my season long team, and that was an extremely fun performance to watch. Brees targeted him heavily, and he was getting open with ease. He can blow the top off the defense or catch a slant and take it up-field. I expect the Saints to force the ball to him and he should be in for a good end of year.

Devonta Freeman - 139 rushing yard, 3 TD

Freeman and Coleman were both owned today, but the starter ended up having the big game. His yard total wasn't crazy, but he got into the end zone 3 times. Looking forward, he takes on the Panthers and Saints, which are both match ups that Freeman can exploit. He remains a good option across the board.

Drew Brees - 389 yards - 4 TD

Brees was back to his normal self after an off week against the Buccaneers. You can look forward to Brees finishing off the season strong, and he is always a fantastic option at home in cash games.

LeSean McCoy - 153 rushing yards, 2 TD

McCoy was off to the races against the Browns, and finished the 1st half just short of 100 yards. He added 2 touchdowns in the 2nd half, which catapulted him into a great day. Mike Gillislee also vultured a TD, so he could of had 3. He has 2 decent match ups down the stretch, and is definitely in play.

Notable Performances - Ezekiel Elliot, David Johnson, Cameron Brate, Nick Novak, Lamar Miller

Under-achievers

Antonio Gates - 1 catch, 11 yards

Everyone expctd Gates to come out and get targeted a ton against the weak Raiders defense. Instead, he got the fewest targets he has seen since week 3. Before this week, he was targeted 9 times or more in 5 of the last 6 weeks. He should go under owned, and could be in for a good day against the lowly Browns defense.

Mike Evans - 4 catches, 59 yards

I don't like targeting receivers against the Cowboys, so I luckily got away from this. That is mostly due to Ezekiel Elliot and him just controlling the ball all game. Evans still had the upside, and I wouldn't of been surprised if he caught a TD. He is still the same guy and is a great play across the board against the Saints.

Looking Forward to week 16
