The Christmas Eve slate of games came with its share of both naughty and nice stat lines. Unfortunately, many players (especially the pass catchers and kickers) were hampered by extremely cold conditions. Just ask anyone who started Saints and Browns players. Also, some of the top scorers weren’t fantasy relevant. In fact, players like Shane Zylstra, Kendrick Bourne, Isaiah Hodgins and Trenton Irwin, who haven’t even sniffed most fantasy rosters, were among the best players based on points.
On the bright side, we did see some huge performances from quarterbacks the likes of Dak Prescott, Kirk Cousins, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow and Josh Allen. Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry also shined, and a pair of Panthers backs made mincemeat of the Lions defense. We also had a number of big-name wideouts and tight ends put up great totals that no doubt pushed fantasy fans to a title berth.
With that being said, let’s start our fantasy football whip around Saturday’s action in Minnesota, where a certain tight end gave his fantasy managers a great present.
