NYG - More records for Odell Beckham
Source: The Associated Press
New York Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr. posted eight receptions for 148 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the Week 16 game against the St. Louis Rams. He set a franchise rookie record with his 10th and 11th touchdown grabs, and he shattered another rookie mark for receptions while topping 1,000 yards. Beckham has had at least 90 yards receiving in eight consecutive games and could tie the NFL record of nine straight by Dallas Cowboys WR Michael Irvin in 1995.

Lynch has since entered the game, but he joins Joique Bell on the surprise Week 16 drama list. Lynch needs as many touches as he can get to make a decent stat line against the stiff Cardinals defense.

15 weeks ago, it was looking like Harvin was going to be a star in Seattle. Now he can't finish a game for the Jets. Things move fast.

Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo was removed early in the Week 16 game against the Indianapolis Colts with his team up 35-0 early in the fourth quarter. He finished 18 of 20 for 218 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Romo was nearly flawless and came through for his fantasy owners in a way few QB1s did (so far) in Week 16. He'll have a chance to exorcise some of his playoff demons.

HOU - WR Andre Johnson reaches milestone

Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson posted six catches for 65 yards in the Week 16 game against the Baltimore Ravens, giving him 1,002 receptions for his career. He is the 10th player in NFL history to accomplish the feat.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Johnson came out hot but the Texans offense didn't need to push the issue with the lead for the whole game. This is probably the last year that Andre Johnson will be drafted as a fantasy starter with the QB uncertainty in Houston next year.

Luck was the last of the elite QB names to run into a brick wall in the fantasy playoffs. The Colts having a down game because they had nothing to gain could have been foreseen, but this was worse than anything we could have imagined when projecting the day for Luck and his receivers.

Stafford threw two red zone interceptions and fumbled away a matchup that Drew Brees and Tony Romo dominated in recent weeks. He'll still have a chance to win the division if he can win at Lambeau next week.

Bell was benched in the first quarter, but picked up where he left off lately, including a touchdown run that looked too easy against a Bears defense that gave more fight than expected on most plays today.
