NFL Fantasy tips for Week 16
Wednesday 23 December 2015 17:18, UK
It might be Christmas and cold in some parts of the world, but a lot of the USA is sweltering from a late season heatwave.
Also in a heatwave is the NFL, where the Carolina Panthers are still trying to remain unbeaten and everyone else battles it out for play-off placings.
But should Cam Newton and his colleagues be on your fantasy team? Alex Ferguson has more...
Quarterback: Cam Newton (Carolina Panthers)
Newton's going to be the MVP, the Panthers are unbeaten and his head coach Ron Rivera want to keep a strong team going into the play-offs. That'll do for us. If you think Rivera's lying, how about picking Ben Roethisberger against Baltimore? There's no hotter quarterback right now (apart from Newton).
Running Back: DeAngelo Williams (Pittsburgh)
Williams had been a sensation. He'll get the carries against Baltimore and probably help himself to a touchdown.
Running Back: Charcandrick West (Kansas City Chiefs)
The biggest bargain of the season should be nicely set up against a porous Cleveland Browns run 'D', which is apparently meant to stop somebody. And the Chiefs are on fire, too.
Wide Receiver: Allen Robinson (Jacksonville Jaguars)
He's playing against New Orleans. Deal.
Wide Receiver: Antonio Brown (Pittsburgh)
After a wonderful 15 catch performance against Denver, "Downtown" is primed for a good return against a Baltimore team playing for nothing but draft picks.
Tight End: Gary Barnidge (Cleveland Browns)
Another candidate for undervalued player of the year, Barnidge has been phenomenal for a poor Cleveland offence. He's also helped to make Johnny Manziel a good quarterback.
Defence: Carolina Panthers
This could be a shoot-out, but we still believe Falcons QB Matt Ryan will be good for an interception or two. Or three.
Kicker: Stephen Gostkowski (New England Patriots)
If Gostowski can return another 10 points this week, we'll take it. If you don't have the budget for a $3m kicker, how about Gano of Carolina or Santos of KC?
