Week 16 is a magical time, something that all fantasy players strive for, yet so very few reach. Jordan Poyer Jersey .Of course, with daily fantasy sports, more players are in during championship week. The same advice and logic applies to all the matchups -- be prepared for anything and everything.TY MONTGOMERY IS A FANTASY FORCETake Ty Montgomery, for example.The Green Bay wide receiver-turned-running back ran 16 times for 162 yards and two touchdowns, adding two receptions for one yard through the air.Its tough to remember a time when a wide receiver was named a teams starting running back midway through the season and then put on such a dominating performance. But do approach Montgomery with a tiny degree of caution heading into your championship game -the Bears on Sunday were ravaged with defensive injuries and had given up at least 100 rushing yards to opposing backs in the previous four games. Week 16 brings a date with the Vikings, who have been a tougher defensive unit throughout the season.MATT MOORE AND MATT BARKLEY ARE FANTASY RELEVANTOn Saturday night, Matt Moore led the Dolphins to a 34-13 victory over the Jets, throwing four touchdowns on just 18 pass attempts. Sunday, Matt Barkley threw for 362 yards and two touchdowns against the Packers.If your fantasy team has made it this far, theres probably little need for a waiver wire quarterback, but daily fantasy players may want to take a closer look at the duo. Moore has a talented set of receivers in DeVante Parker, Jarvis Landry, and Kenny Stills, as well as a running back in Jay Ajayi who can keep defenses honest.Barkley, meanwhile, should continue to benefit from the presence of Alshon Jeffery, who returned from a four-game suspension to catch six balls off nine targets for 89 yards and a touchdown.There is plenty of risk to be had with Moore and Barkley, but fantasy players can justify nearly any move given this blanket statement: weird things happen in Weeks 16 and 17. At the very least, Moore and Barkley have some solid logic behind them, as well.MISCELLANEOUS- The Jaguars fired Gus Bradley Sunday, but did not name an interim coach. Its likely to be offensive line coach Doug Marrone or defensive backs coach DeWayne Walker.Marrone is a sharp offensive mind and isnt afraid to make bold moves (two examples -- his Pinstripe Bowl game plan while coaching Syracuse and his infamous exit from the Buffalo Bills). If given a chance to show why he should be head coach next season, he could try some razzle dazzle with the teams ultra-talented wide receiving corps, pointing to a possible late-season surge for Allen Robinson, who has been brutally underutilized in 2016.- Teams have easily padded fantasy stats against the 49ers defense this season, especially in the run game. So Week 16 against Los Angeles should make for an interesting game. The Rams have struggled all season offensively, but they do have plenty of talent -- from Todd Gurley to Tavon Austin -- and a new head coach in John Fassel.In a fun twist, Gurley currently has 778 rushing yards on the season. If he can manage about 130 against the 49ers (A number not totally out of the question, despite Gurley failing to reach 100 rushing yards in a game all season), hell likely be pushing hard in Week 17 to hit the 1,000-yard mark on the season.- If Tom Savage starts for the Texans in Week 16, expect more good things from DeAndre Hopkins, who was targeted 17 times (catching eight passes for 87 yards) in Sundays win over Jacksonville. Only two of those targets came from Brock Osweiler, who was benched in the second quarter.- Justin Forsetts 10 carries for 37 yards dont exactly jump out of the box score, but when held against Devontae Bookers six carries for 17 yards, they tell a greater story -- Forsett looks to be the main back in Denver now, after two weeks of leading the team in carries. His fantasy usefulness, however, will be somewhat limited, as the Broncos have fairly rough games ahead against the Chiefs and Raiders.- One quick scheduling note: Week 16 features almost all of the games on Saturday (Christmas Eve), with two games on Sunday, one on Monday, and one on Thursday.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com Tyrod Taylor Jersey . -- Stanfords Kevin Danser knelt on one knee and hardly moved on the sideline as Michigan State celebrated its Rose Bowl victory and his Cardinal teammates made their way to the locker room. E.J. Gaines Jersey . Takahashi, who had a 10-point lead after the short program, received 268.31 points after the free skate to finish 15 points ahead of second-place Nobunari Oda. http://www.cheapbillsjerseyselite.com/?tag=cheap-stephen-hauschka-jersey . The Browns coaching search remains incomplete. Baltimore Ravens tight end Benjamin Watson spent enough time working with the NFL this year on its message to players about conduct that he wasnt expecting to be so personally engaged by it. Yet there he was, after the Ravens mandatory training hour last week, discussing childrens safety -- and guns.This is the third year the NFL has had social responsibility training, but its the first time the league added a discussion about gun ownership and the importance of safe storage of weapons.We hear these horror stories all the time about a child that finds a firearm and who shoots and hurts themselves, or kills someone else, Watson said. And youd hate for that to happen because its so preventable. Im glad they added that myself, as a father of five.This season, the training was pared down and changed as the league shifts from responding to the Ray Rice situation and domestic violence to a more interactive format. Players viewed videos (one, for example, showed a drunken driver swerving a car all over the road) and were asked to discuss.Weve never presented the issue from a social responsibility perspective before, said Anna Isaacson, the NFLs vice president of social responsibility. These were crucial societal issues that people just didnt know enough about, and we felt that it was our duty, and it was the right thing to do, to make sure that everyone in the NFL family had the same knowledge, so that we were all on an even playing field and we all had the same information.This year in the offseason, Denvers Aqib Talib suffered a gunshot wound in Dallas, and former Saints defensive end Will Smith was shot and killed?during a traffic altercation in New Orleans.Ever since Plaxico Burress shot himself in the leg when he was a wide receiver for the Giants, NFL teams have hosted presentations by law enforcement officials about local laws on owning and carrying weapons. Burress, who was not licensed to carry a concealed weapon in New York, served 20 months in jail.The NFL has recommended that players stay away from gun ownership, but Sean Taylors 2007 death during a robbery at home still lingers, and NFL players know they can be targeted for their wealth.Because of the Second Amendment, Watson ssaid, the NFL cant tell you [that] you cant have a gun, because youre a citizen of this country. Patrick DiMarco Jersey. So the league is discussing gun safety through the prism of child shooting tragedies.About a third of teams have completed the sessions. Parts of the presentations still focus on domestic violence. Watson is featured in one of the videos, discussing a moment when he saw a woman in a convenience store. She appeared to be hurt and was lingering inside, apparently to avoid returning to a car and its driver.The discussion follows. Could he really assume violence had occurred? Should he have called anyone? What was his obligation to that woman? What would he risk for intervening?He spoke from the heart and its a real situation. People can imagine being in that situation and not knowing what to do, Isaacson said. What Ive heard from the feedback is, thats really hard. The point of that video is to spark that ongoing dialogue because theres no solution, theres no easy answer. ... Its important that we think through them.Of the sessions Watson said, Having a conversation is a way to engage in a nonthreatening manner.The NFLs previous training on domestic violence emphasized dos and donts. Players were presented with statistics and a discussion of the definition of consent in sexual situations.But there was some negative feedback from players who felt it was a bit patronizing and targeted them for an issue they might never intersect with.Watson discussed it with his wife, Kirsten.My wife, in her wisdom, told me, No matter the reason theyre doing it, if it changes one mans mind as hes about to hurt his wife or girlfriend, then its worth it, Watson said.Watson, who is entering his 13th NFL season, said he has seen change since the league began frankly discussing violence -- not just among players, but as a whole in the culture. And he emphasized that continuing the training is important, given how often new players come into the league.We were moving at lightning speed, Isaacson said of that first year. Weve spent a full year planning for this years education.
