Michael Penix Jr.'s expected starting role presents an opportunity for the Falcons' receivers to regain fantasy value with his aggressive play style.

Deep dives

Targeting Key Players for Week 16

Tajay Spears is highlighted as a valuable player to acquire ahead of Week 16. With Tony Pollard struggling with an ankle injury and the potential for limited action, Spears's performance—92 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on just ten touches last week—suggests he could take on a larger role. The upcoming matchups against the Colts and Jaguars are favorable, as both teams rank in the top ten for fantasy points allowed to running backs. For those in leagues where Spears is still available, he presents an exciting option as an upside RB3 or flex player.
