Player Note on Elijah Moore (WR - CLE)
Moore had 12 targets and 10 fantasy points, as he has an excellent connection with new Browns QB, Joe Flacco. Moore is an upside WR3 against a Jags D that is 28th against fantasy receivers.
Player Note on Diontae Johnson (WR - PIT)
Johnson was one of the few Steelers that had a decent fantasy day in Week 13, finishing with 11 fantasy points. He is a low-end WR3 against a Patriots D that is 22nd against fantasy receivers.
Player Note on Garrett Wilson (WR - NYJ)
Wilson has only 21 fantasy points over his last 3 games. He is an out of this world talent, but a boom / bust WR3 with one of the worst QB situations in the NFL.
Player Note on Jayden Reed (WR - GB)
Reed had a streak of 3-straight double-digit fantasy point totals snapped with 4 points against the Giants. Reed should rebound as a WR3 against a Giants D that is 29th against fantasy receivers.
Player Note on DeAndre Hopkins (WR - TEN)
Hopkins has scored 14, 6, and 16 points in his last 3 fantasy games. He is a high-end WR3 against a Dolphins team that is 18th against fantasy receivers.
Player Note on Brandin Cooks (WR - DAL)
Cooks has scored at least 15 fantasy points in 3 of his last 4 games, Cooks is a WR2 against an Eagles D that is 32nd against fantasy receivers.
Player Note on Zay Flowers (WR - BAL)
Flowers had 21 fantasy points in his last game before the bye week. He is a low-end WR2 to high-end flex option against a Rams D that is 10th against fantasy receivers.
Player Note on Rashee Rice (WR - KC)
Rice has 31 fantasy points over his last 2 games, he is a WR2 against a Bills D that is 11th against fantasy receivers.
Player Note on Calvin Ridley (WR - JAC)
Ridley should see a ton of targets with Christian Kirk out, but Ridley is likely not going to have Trevor Lawrence behind center. Ridley is a boom / bust WR2 against a Browns D that is 3rd against fantasy receivers.
Player Note on Courtland Sutton (WR - DEN)
Sutton rebounded from scoring 8 points in Week 12 to having 15 points last week. Sutton has been very consistent in recent weeks, he is a WR2 against a Chargers D that is 30th against fantasy receivers.

News Reaction on Carson Palmer (QB - FA) - Carson Palmer retires
Palmer only played 7 games this year and he had only 1,978 yards passing, 9 passing touchdowns, 7 picks and a QB rating of 84.4. He was averaging only 19.5 fantasy points per game. The Cardinals were going to need to find their quarterback of the future in the 2018 NFL Draft, regardless of whether Palmer retired. Hopefully they will make a great choice, because the Cardinals have a lot of good skill position players that would benefit from better QB play than they experienced in 2017.
News Reaction on Aaron Rodgers (QB - NYJ) - Aaron Rodgers taking snaps at practice
I think a lot depends on how the Packers do in the next few weeks. If they are eliminated from playoff contention by the time Rodgers is eligible to return, it makes no sense for the Packers to bring him back and risk an injury in a lost season. If they are still alive, they will bring him back in an attempt to save their season. Rodgers is worth a bench stash in all leagues. He is an elite QB1 when healthy and could help a team in the fantasy playoffs.
News Reaction on Tyrod Taylor (QB - NYG) - Tyrod Taylor BENCHED for Week 11
Taylor was efficient with a 64.2 completion percentage and 91.4 QB rating. The problem is the fantasy production was nonexistent with 10 touchdowns passes in 9 games and only 187.1 pass yards per game.
Peterman had experience playing in a pro style offense in college. We don't know if he will be ready to play at the NFL level, so take a wait and see approach with all players not named RB LeSean McCoy. They could improve or regress, it just depends if Peterman is up to the task this year.
