Fantasy: 5 last-minute additions poised for big games in Week 16

Each week, we take a look at five last-minute additions for your fantasy team heading into Sunday.

C.J. Anderson, RB, Rams

at Cardinals

Anderson reportedly has a chance to start Week 16 after being signed by the Rams earlier in the week with Todd Gurley expected to be a game-time decision due to a knee injury. Justin Davis and John Kelly are the Rams' other options in the event Gurley is forced to sit. They've combined for just four carries on the year.

Anderson, a former 1,000-yard rusher, hasn't played since he was released by the Carolina Panthers following Week 10. He carried the ball just 24 times over nine games for 104 yards. His lone catch of the season is a 24-yard touchdown.

Only two teams allow more rushing yards per game than the Cardinals' 144.9, and none have allowed more than their 20 scores on the ground.

Phillip Dorsett, WR, Patriots

vs. Bills

Dorsett saw seven targets in three of his first four games this season. He made 16 catches for 165 yards and two touchdowns over that time before having his role reduced following the Patriots' acquisition of Josh Gordon. The former first-round pick of the Indianapolis Colts played just two offensive snaps last week, according to Football Outsiders.

Now there's room for Dorsett to get more work with Gordon suspended indefinitely for violating the terms of his reinstatement. The Patriots' official depth chart lists Chris Hogan and Julian Edelman as the starting wideouts but Dorsett has proven to be a reliable option this season with a catch rate of 84.4 percent, albeit at an average length of reception of just 9.5 yards.

The Patriots could try changing some things up in the passing game after scoring just 10 points last week in a second consecutive loss.

Zach Zenner, RB, Lions

vs. Vikings

Lions running back LeGarrette Blount is questionable for the Week 16 game against the Vikings due to a calf problem, likely putting Zenner in line for a second straight start. The 27-year-old has taken 22 carries for 99 yards and two touchdowns over the past two weeks.

Zenner should receive his biggest workload of the season as he'll enter the contest with little competition for both carries and work in the passing game. He caught three of four targets last week and his role will grow with wide receiver Bruce Ellington ruled out with a hamstring issue.

The Vikings have allowed 6.2 targets and 51.1 receiving yards per game to pass-catching running backs and rank 31st by DVOA.

Kapri Bibbs, RB, Packers

at Jets

Bibbs was claimed off waivers Monday following his release from the Washington Redskins and could be thrust into a significant role behind Jamaal Williams after Aaron Jones was placed on injured reserve.

The 25-year-old received just 20 carries with Washington this season but turned those touches into 101 yards and three scores while adding 13 receptions for 102 yards and another touchdown.

Jones had received at least three targets in each of his last six games before suffering the injury in Week 15. Williams has caught just 62.1 percent of his targets this season at an average of 7.4 yards per catch, leaving the pass-catching role available for Bibbs to take over for the final two games.

Tim Patrick, WR, Broncos

at Raiders

Patrick has become one of Case Keenum's favorite targets, catching 12 of 18 looks over the last two games following the loss of Emmanuel Sanders. He's racked up 150 yards but has been held out of the end zone.

The 6-foot-5 wideout holds a significant matchup advantage but has received just one red-zone target on the year. Patrick, however, is averaging 13.9 yards per catch with longs of more than 20 yards in each of his last two outings.

The Raiders' pass defense ranks last in the league with 32 touchdowns allowed on the year and tied for second last by allowing 8.2 yards per passing attempt, giving hope that Patrick can finally break off a big play for a score.
