🏈 Fantasy Football Rankings

It's time to win your leagues in the fantasy playoffs by taking a look at our weekly fantasy football rankings.

Frank Ammirante finished No. 6 in fantasy football rankings in the FantasyPros Accuracy contest, so be sure to use these ranks to help draft your teams.

Here’s a preview of who Frank loves this week:

• Aaron Rodgers just put up 30.1 fantasy points against the Jaguars. We could see more strong production vs a Rams defense that ranks 24th in fantasy PPG allowed to QBs in the last four weeks.

• Jahmyr Gibbs is likely going to be the most valuable player in fantasy football with David Montgomery out. Think back to last season when he destroyed the Raiders for 189 total yards without Monty.

• Brian Thomas Jr. is averaging 18.9 fantasy PPG (WR8) since the Jaguars' Week 12 bye. You can fire up this stud rookie with confidence as a WR1 (top-12).

• Look for Brenton Strange to continue to get peppered with underneath targets from Mac Jones (12 targets in Week 15).

• Jalen McMillan has found his groove for the Bucs, scoring three touchdowns in his last two games. Fire him up against the Cowboys as a boom-or-bust FLEX play.

🏈 CFP National Championship Odds 2025

After a grueling regular season, the College Football Playoff is here.

For the first time ever, 12 teams will duke it out in the single-elimination bracket for a chance to win the CFP National Championship.

Will one of the top-four seeds reign supreme? Or will a team that didn’t win its conference make a run from the first round to the title game?

Below, I’ll assess the latest betting odds to make my 2025 CFP National Championship predictions.

🏀 NBA Props

Don’t miss out on our NBA Props — here’s a preview for you:

Jalen Suggs: Under 19.5 Points (-105) vs Thunder

DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 Unit

The Magic are relying on Jalen Suggs to carry the offense with Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero sidelined, but this is a tough spot vs the Thunder.

Oklahoma City ranks 1st in defensive rating, per NBA.com.

There's a good chance that Suggs has a tough day shooting from the field in this one, which will make it harder to eclipse his 19.5 points prop.

This game has a 212-point total, which is the lowest on the slate.

We'll fade Suggs in this tough spot.

🏈 Week 16 SNF Buccaneers vs Cowboys

The Week 16 edition of Sunday Night Football will see Baker Mayfield and the NFC South-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-6) visit AT&T Stadium to take on the Dallas Cowboys (6-8) in an intriguing NFC showdown.

The Bucs enter this matchup on a four-game winning streak after throttling the Chargers 40-17 in Los Angeles on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are coming off a 30-14 victory over the Panthers in Carolina, which kept them mathematically alive in the NFC Wild Card race.

SNF Score Prediction: Buccaneers 27, Cowboys 24

These teams have played well over the last month, so this game should be competitive until the final whistle.

To Mike McCarthy's credit, the Cowboys haven't quit despite difficult circumstances. Injuries to Dak Prescott and others have derailed Dallas' campaign, but Cooper Rush has kept the train on the tracks over the last month, leading America's Team to wins over the Commanders, Giants, and Panthers. And if not for a special teams blunder against the Bengals, the Cowboys could be on a four-game winning streak of their own.

Still, I like the Buccaneers to ultimately prevail in this SNF contest. Baker Mayfield (288 passing yards, 4 TDs) and Mike Evans (159 receiving yards, 2 TDs) torched one of the league's best defenses last week. The backfield combo of Rachaad White and Bucky Irving should have plenty of success on the ground against a Dallas defense allowing 4.8 yards per carry, tied for the fourth-highest mark in the NFL.

SNF Over/Under Pick: Buccaneers @ Cowboys Over 48.5 Points (-108)

SNF Unders have been on a roll this season, but I'm expecting a higher-scoring environment in this matchup between the Buccaneers and Cowboys.

Tampa Bay has scored 26 or more points in each of its last four contests, including its 40-point outburst last week. Dallas has put up at least 20 in each of its previous four games and reached the 30s on two occasions.

Brian Schottenheimer's offense also operates at the fastest pace in the NFL (26.7 seconds per play), so Dallas' scoring drives should be of the shorter variety.
