NFL odds Week 16: Betting results for every game
Here's a look at all the point spreads, moneylines and total Over/Unders at FOX Bet for the Week 16 NFL games.DECEMBER 25, 2022
Rashaan Evans - Ties season low with six stopsEvans recorded six tackles (two solo) during Saturday's 17-9 loss to Baltimore.
ImpactEvans tied his season low with six stops and snapped a six-game double-digit tackle streak. Despite finishing second on the team in tackles behind Richie Grant, Evans' performance Saturday was certainly disappointing given his recent string of success. In his first season with Atlanta, Evans has totaled a career-high 151 tackles, so he'll look to get back on track in Week 17 against the Cardinals.

Richie Grant - Team-high 10 tackles in lossGrant posted 10 tackles (seven solo) during Saturday's 17-9 loss to the Ravens.
ImpactGrant led the team in stops and notched his third double-digit tackle performance of the campaign. The 2021 second-round pick has yet to miss a game this season, totaling a career-high 107 tackles, seven pass defenses and two interceptions in his first year as a full-time starter.

Younghoe Koo - Perfect in lossKoo converted all three of his field-goal attempts during Saturday's 17-9 loss to the Ravens.
ImpactKoo put the Falcons on the board with a 32-yard field goal to end the first half, cutting Baltimore's lead to 14-3. He added a 34-yard field goal in the third quarter and a 37-yarder in the fourth, marking the fifth time that he's made at least three field goals in a game this season. Koo clearly benefitted Saturday from Desmond Ridder's struggles in the red zone, but the kicker's overall potential moving forward has to be limited given the Falcons have failed to score 20 or more points in six of their last seven matchups.

Avery Williams - Season-high 30 scrimmage yardsWilliams logged three carries for 16 yards and reeled in both of his targets for 14 yards during Saturday's 17-9 loss to the Ravens.
ImpactWith Caleb Huntley (Achilles) out, Williams stepped up as the Falcons' No. 3 running back and totaled five touches for just the second time this season. He made the most of his increased offensive opportunity by recording a season-high 30 yards from scrimmage while also operating as the team's primary punt and kick returner. As long as Tyler Allgeier and Cordarrelle Patterson are healthy, Williams likely remains irrelevant in standard fantasy leagues, but he's certainly a player to monitor now that he's in line for increased work during Atlanta's final two regular-season games.
