Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was surgical in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals, completing 22 of 29 passes for 260 yards and three touchdowns while adding six carries for 10 yards on the ground. Stroud threw a 57-yard touchdown to wide receiver Nico Collins on his first throw of the game and continued to operate efficiently for the rest of the game. The 24-year-old signal-caller has played well since returning in Week 13 from a multi-game absence due to a concussion. He's totalled 738 passing yards, four touchdowns, and one interception over that time. Stroud will look to continue his strong stretch of production in a plus Week 16 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy delivered another encouraging outing in Sunday night's win over the Dallas Cowboys, completing 15 of 24 passes for 250 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception while adding four carries for 15 yards and another score on the ground. McCarthy threw an interception on his first pass of the game, but he settled in nicely afterwards and had arguably his best game as a pro. McCarthy has established a legitimate connection with Jalen Nailor, as they connected for two scores, while he continues to struggle to get on the same page with top wideout Justin Jefferson. The second-year quarterback has totaled 413 passing yards, 34 rushing yards, and six total touchdowns with one turnover over the past two weeks. McCarthy will look to build on his recent improvement in Week 16 in another great matchup against the New York Giants on the road.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins recorded three receptions (four targets) for 85 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Collins got the scoring started early for the Texans, hauling in a 57-yard touchdown on the second play from scrimmage. The star wideout joins a crew of legendary wide receivers with three or more seasons recording at least 1,000 receiving yards with the Texans, alongside DeAndre Hopkins and Andre Johnson. The 26-year-old was quiet for most of the game after his long touchdown, but he later connected with quarterback C.J. Stroud for a four-yard touchdown with just over three minutes remaining in the game. Collins has been one of the best wide receivers in fantasy football over the second half of the season and will look to stay hot next week against the Las Vegas Raiders.

For the second straight week, Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert made his fantasy managers smile. He caught six of his seven targets for a team-high 70 yards and two touchdowns in the 31-0 blowout win over the visiting Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15. The big performance comes less than a week after the 30-year-old veteran caught eight of 10 targets for 78 yards in Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. This was Goedert's third two-touchdown performance in 2025 and his first time finding the end zone since he had two TDs on Oct. 26 against the New York Giants. Both of his trips to paydirt against Vegas came on short goal-line shovel passes from quarterback Jalen Hurts. Like most TEs in the league, Goedert has had his moments of inconsistency, but he's trending up at the right time for fantasy managers, and he'll be a clear TE1 for a juicy Week 16 matchup versus the division-rival Commanders.
