Fantasy Football Player Notes

Week 15 Rankings

Jahmyr Gibbs Note
Jahmyr Gibbs photo 1. Jahmyr Gibbs RB - DET (at LAR)
Gibbs has three touchdowns in three of his last five games. This is some early-season Jonathan Taylor kind of stuff. Even with David Montgomery mixing in for a handful of carries, Gibbs is the engine of this offense. With double-digit carries in all but two games this season, he is getting plenty of touches for his efficient running style. This week, they have a tough matchup against the Rams, who are allowing the third-fewest fantasy points and fourth-lowest yards per carry to the RB position. Thankfully, Gibbs has also seen seven or more targets in three of his last four games, providing a concrete foundation for fantasy. Keep riding the hot hand right into your fantasy playoffs.

Christian McCaffrey Note
Christian McCaffrey photo 2. Christian McCaffrey RB - SF (vs . TEN)
With Jonathan Taylor taking a step back over the last few weeks, CMC has closed the gap for the RB1 on the season. Coming out of his bye week, CMC only has two weeks outside the top 12 at the position. The 49ers now face arguably the worst team in the league, the Titans. Outside of Jeffrey Simmons, this defense's only accolade is a participation award. Averaging the seventh most fantasy points to the position, the 49ers should dominate this game from start to finish. We know they aren't afraid to give CMC all the work, making him an incredible play this week. There is a world where they get a large enough lead to mix in Brian Robinson, but that would be after CMC finds the endzone a couple of times.

Derrick Henry Note
Derrick Henry photo 3. Derrick Henry RB - BAL (at CIN)
The Ravens dropped a massive game against the Steelers last week. This team decided to only show up in the second half, but couldn't complete the comeback. Thankfully, Henry had a decent day with 101 total yards. The good news from last week was that Lamar Jackson looked the best he has in the last three weeks. The healthier Lamar is, the better the entire offense is. With pretty much "must-win" games to close out the season, Lamar and Henry should dominate an abysmal Bengals defense this week. Two weeks ago, the Bengals stunned the Ravens and forced five turnovers. Nearly totalling their total turnovers on the season in one game won't happen again. Despite the loss, the Ravens are heating up, and the Bengals don't have an answer for King Henry this week.

Bijan Robinson Note
Bijan Robinson photo 4. Bijan Robinson RB - ATL (at TB)
Bijan Robinson has slowly become the latest superstar talent to be limited by situation. Watching the production of Christian McCaffrey, De'Von Achane, Jonathan Taylor, and Jahmyr Gibbs has Robinson owners begging for better usage. After all, Bijan makes highlight reel plays each week, despite only being a decent RB1 for fantasy. Thankfully, the Falcons take on the Buccaneers and Cardinals over their next two weeks. Bijan played the Bucs back in Week 1, where he had six receptions for 100 yards and a score. Over the last five weeks, the Bucs have allowed the second-most receiving yards and the most receiving TDs to opposing RBs. Add in his roughly 20 carries, and we have a recipe for a big fantasy week from the third-year back.

De'Von Achane Note
De'Von Achane photo 5. De'Von Achane RB - MIA (at PIT)
Last week, Achane stretched his RB1 weekly finish streak to six consecutive games. Oh, and he only played 34% of snaps before leaving with a rib injury. That's wild. Thankfully, players are often able to return the following week after rib injuries. As a result, Achane should be back to his RB1 ways this week against the Steelers. That said, it will be worth monitoring his practice reports throughout the week. Two weeks ago, the Steelers allowed the most rushing yards to a road team in their franchise's history. Last week, the Ravens had 217 total rushing yards. With Derrick Henry and Keaton Mitchell combining for 170 of them. As long as Achane is healthy, he has been unstoppable regardless of the matchup.
5 days ago
James Cook III Note
James Cook III photo 6. James Cook III RB - BUF (at NE)
Coming off his fourth straight 100-plus yard game, James Cook continues to have a great season. Unfortunately, he faces the Patriots' defense this week. The Patriots have been one of the best run defenses all season, and have allowed the fourth fewest fantasy points to the position over the last five weeks. Thankfully, Cook has started to see an increase in usage as a receiving weapon. With 30 receiving yards in each of his last two outings, his already solid fantasy floor has been even better. With the Patriots and Browns over the next two weeks, the schedule is very tough. However, when you are the lead back on a Josh Allen-led offense, there is always a path for big fantasy finishes.

Saquon Barkley Note
Saquon Barkley photo 7. Saquon Barkley RB - PHI (vs . LV)
Jaxon Smith-Njigba Note
Jaxon Smith-Njigba photo 8. Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR - SEA (vs . IND)
After his only down week of the season, JSN bounced back with two touchdowns and 91 yards on seven receptions. This is the JSN we had come to expect this season, leading the league in receiving yards (by 242 yards). This week, they face the Colts, who may be starting 44-year-old Philip Rivers under center. The Seattle defence should feast this week, and there is a chance they'll try to run the clock as early as the first quarter. Either way, if they are going to pass, it's going to JSN. The Colts have allowed the tenth most fantasy points to the position over the last five weeks and don't have an answer for JSN with Sauce Gardner out.
4 days ago
Ja'Marr Chase Note
Ja'Marr Chase photo 9. Ja'Marr Chase WR - CIN (vs . BAL)
Coming off a mediocre performance against Buffalo, Chase looks to bounce back against a team he has dominated in the past. Chase has a storied history against the Ravens, highlighted by last year's two incredible games, where he combined for 21 receptions, 457 yards, and five touchdowns. Two weeks ago, he caught seven of 14 targets for 110 yards. With the Ravens dropping two crucial divisional games over their last two weeks, this should be a great game in Cincinnati. Chase hasn't caught a touchdown since Week 7 and is primed to change that in this matchup. Forget last week, and hope Chase can have a vintage performance against the Ravens.

Jonathan Taylor Note
Jonathan Taylor photo 10. Jonathan Taylor RB - IND (at SEA)
Turns out, LT and JT aren't the same. After starting the season rivalling the great Ladanian Thomlinson, Jonathan Taylor and the Colts have slowed down. To make matters worse, Daniel Jones suffered a devastating Achilles injury in their Week 14 game. With Anthony Richardson still recovering from his fractured face, rookie Riley Leonard will get the start. This will likely mean that Taylor should see ridiculous volume against this week, but they are playing the Seahawks. Not only is Seattle allowing the fifth fewest fantasy points to opposing RBs over the last five weeks, but we all saw what they did to the last rookie QB they faced. Although Leonard was a better prospect than Max Brosmer, it's hard to look at Brosmer's 126 yards and four interceptions and not be a little worried. Taylor got you this far, so you have to keep riding him even in a terrible matchup.
5 days ago
Puka Nacua Note
Puka Nacua photo 11. Puka Nacua WR - LAR (vs . DET)
He finally found the endzone. After four straight weeks of WR2 production, I dared to call him a WR2 heading into last week. Well, 167 yards and two scores have me still wiping egg from my face. Turns out, Davante Adams can't score touchdowns each week. As a result, adding touchdowns to Puka's already elite yardage totals shows us why he is one of the best in the league. The Rams, facing the Lions in Week 15, might be the fantasy game of the week. With two powerhouse offenses, we could be in line for massive fantasy finishes. If there was ever a matchup for Puka to start a touchdown streak, it may be this one. However, even if he doesn't find paydirt, he is locked into great usage and yardage totals.
4 days ago
Bucky Irving Note
Bucky Irving photo 12. Bucky Irving RB - TB (vs . ATL)
Two weeks back from his injury, Irving has posted back-to-back 15.1 Half PPR fantasy points in each game. Scoring both through the air and on the ground since his return, it is clear the Bucs missed their lead back. However, since returning, they have incorporated all three backs, with Irving hovering around 50% of snaps each of the last two games. Considering he is still seeing 15-plus carries and a couple of targets each game, he remains a great option for fantasy. This week, they face the Falcons, who have been slightly below average at stopping opposing backs over the last five weeks. With the limited snaps, Bucky is a low-end RB1 again this week.
5 days ago
Josh Jacobs Note
Josh Jacobs photo 13. Josh Jacobs RB - GB (at DEN)
The world is back to normal, as Jacobs found the endzone for the first time since Week 10. After scoring 11 touchdowns in his first 10 games, it had become something fantasy managers could rely on each week. We also saw Jacobs play more snaps than he did in Week 13 when he was coming off his injury, which is a good sign. Unfortunately, the Packers go from a huge divisional win against the Bears to taking on the 11-2 Broncos. Riding their defense to 11 wins has not been a fluke. This defense has stifled some of the league's best offenses this season and has held RBs to the fewest fantasy points over the last five weeks. Averaging only 61 rushing yards to RBs over that span, it may be a tough day at the office for one of the league's most consistent backs.
5 days ago
Travis Etienne Jr. Note
Travis Etienne Jr. photo 14. Travis Etienne Jr. RB - JAC (vs . NYJ)
Travis Etienne has quietly been the RB11 on the season. With five top 12 finishes over his last six games, Etienne continues to be a great value for fantasy managers. With Bayshul Tuten fumbling early last game, Etienne played his most snaps of the season with 72%. Out of college, Tuten had fumbling issues, giving Etienne even more confidence with the coaches. This week, he faces the Jets, who are allowing the second-most fantasy points to RBs over the last five weeks. There is always a chance that Tuten steals the goal-line work, but Etienne remains a locked-in, low-end RB1 this week.

Javonte Williams Note

Kyren Williams Note
Kyren Williams photo 16. Kyren Williams RB - LAR (vs . DET)
Chase Brown Note
Chase Brown photo 17. Chase Brown RB - CIN (vs . BAL)
After six straight 100-yard games, Brown crashed back to earth with 35 total yards against the Bills. Thankfully, he found the endzone twice, carrying him to a top 10 finish on the week. His stretch of high-yardage games and ability to find the endzone is what provides Brown with RB1 fantasy value. Especially with Joe Burrow back under center, this offense is only going to get better. This week, they face the Ravens, who are desperate for a win. On the season, this has been a good matchup for fantasy backs; however, over the last five weeks, they have allowed the ninth fewest fantasy points to the position. It may not be the matchup we had hoped for, but Brown's lead role in this offence makes him a low-end RB1 every week.
5 days ago
Quinshon Judkins Note
Quinshon Judkins photo 18. Quinshon Judkins RB - CLE (at CHI)
Quinshon Judkins is the RB22 in fantasy points per game, averaging 19.7 touches and 77.5 total yards. Among 57 qualifying backs, he ranks 37th in explosive run rate, 28th in missed tackle rate, and 25th in yards after contact per attempt. Judkins should post RB2 numbers again this week against a soft Chicago run defense. Since Week 10, Chicago has allowed the ninth-most rushing yards per game, the third-highest explosive run rate, the most yards before contact per attempt, and logged the second-lowest stuff rate.
3 days ago
Nico Collins Note
Nico Collins photo 19. Nico Collins WR - HOU (vs . ARI)
The Texans have two components: an elite defense, and Nico Collins. With those two pieces, they have been cruising past some of the league's best teams over the last few weeks. With eight or more targets in all but one of his last seven games, CJ. Stroud relies on Collins to move the chains each week. Unfortunately, he only has one receiving touchdown over that span, but he has five games with over 75 receiving yards. As a result, he is a rock-solid WR1 with week-winning upside if he finds the endzone. This week, they play the Cardinals, who just allowed Puka Nacua to have 167 yards and two scores. It's a great matchup for the Texans' star, and he is a locked-in WR1 once agains this week.
4 days ago
RJ Harvey Note
RJ Harvey photo 20. RJ Harvey RB - DEN (vs . GB)
Since assuming the starting job, Harvey has averaged 17.7 touches and 70.7 total yards with weekly finishes as the RB37, RB4, and RB2 in weekly scoring. Last week, he set season-highs with a 68.1% snap rate, a 48.8% route share, and a 15.8% target share. Since Week 11, Harvey has had a 10.7% target share with 24 receiving yards per game and 1.57 yards per route run. Since Week 11, among 45 qualifying backs, Harvey has ranked 32nd in explosive run rate, fifth in rushing success rate, and 15th in missed tackle rate. The Packers remain a hellacious defense to face for running backs. Harvey will need all of the volume and touchdown equity he can get his hands on this week. Since Week 10, Green Bay has allowed the 11th-lowest explosive run rate, the fourth-lowest missed tackle rate, and the tenth-fewest yards after contact per attempt.
3 days ago
Davante Adams Note
Davante Adams photo 21. Davante Adams WR - LAR (vs . DET)
We all knew that if Adams' failed to find the endzone, it was going to be a tough week for his fantasy managers. However, the connection with Matthew Stafford has been so automatic, that Adams not scoring seemed impossible. Somehow, in a game where the Rams dropped 45 points, Adams did not score. Thankfully, he has a perfect matchup in Week 15. The Lions have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing receivers over the last five weeks. Over this span, they have averaged 178.5 yards and 1.5 touchdowns to the position each game. In a game that has shootout written all over it, Adams should bounce back and be a locked-in WR1 for fantasy heading into the fantasy playoffs.
4 days ago
George Pickens Note
George Pickens photo 22. George Pickens WR - DAL (vs . MIN)
It finally appeared that Pickens' attitude was no longer an issue with his new team. Unfortunately, they popped back up in a tough loss last week to the Lions. Looking like he was still at practice, walking through the game plan, Pickens only had five catches for 37 yards and a fumble. Down weeks happen to all receivers, but for it to happen against the defense allowing the most fantasy points to opposing wideouts? I didn't see that coming. This week, he has a chance to redeem himself against a decent Vikings defense. This defense is coming off a shutout win against the Commanders, and has allowed the third fewest fantasy points and fewest touchdowns to the receiver position over the last five weeks. With CeeDee Lamb's availability up in the air after suffering a concussion last Thursday, Pickens may need to step up if the Cowboys want to bounce back. Hopefully, this means he runs his routes at full speed and is the WR1 for fantasy that we've seen all season.
4 days ago
Amon-Ra St. Brown Note
Amon-Ra St. Brown photo 23. Amon-Ra St. Brown WR - DET (at LAR)
ARSB playing last week after injuring his ankle in Week 13 was one of the most surprising recoveries I can remember. After spraining his ankle, it appeared incredibly unlikely he would suit up against the Cowboys. Despite this, he was ruled to be active an hour before kickoff and caught six passes for 92 yards. On the season, he has been one of the most reliable fantasy options. This week, he faces the Rams in a game that is primed for fantasy fireworks. The Rams' defensive strength is their defensive line; however, their secondary is near league average in fantasy points allowed to the WR position over the last five weeks. With a guaranteed hearty dose of targets, ARSB is locked in for another WR1 week.
4 days ago
Woody Marks Note
Woody Marks photo 24. Woody Marks RB - HOU (vs . ARI)
Woody Marks has been an RB3 receiving workhorse RB2 usage. Since Week 10, he has had a 71.1% snap share with 20 touches per game and 69 total yards per game as the RB35 in fantasy points per game. The big issue that has been holding down Marks' fantasy production outside of efficiency and the offensive ecosystem has been touchdowns (or lack thereof). In his last five games, he has only two scores. Add another touchdown or two on top of his volume over the last five weeks, and he's a strong mid-tier RB2 in fantasy points per game. Marks could have a monster Week 15 performance. The Arizona run defense has been competing with the pass defense for which unit can falter the most over the last few weeks. Since Week 10, Arizona has allowed the fifth-highest explosive run rate, the fourth-most rushing yards per game, the highest missed tackle rate, and the ninth-most yards after contact per attempt.
3 days ago
Ashton Jeanty Note
Ashton Jeanty photo 25. Ashton Jeanty RB - LV (at PHI)
Ashton Jeanty is the RB16 in fantasy points per game, averaging 18.2 touches and 71.1 total yards. Since Week 9, his passing game usage has helped raise his weekly floor and ceiling with a 17.4% target share, 28.8 receiving yards per game, and 1.18 yards per route run. Among 57 qualifying backs, Jeanty ranks 14th in missed tackle rate and 34th in yards after contact per attempt. Jeanty is a volume-based RB2 with a nice matchup this week. Since Week 10, Philly's run defense has struggled, allowing the fifth-most rushing yards per game, the sixth-highest explosive run rate, and the 12th-most yards before contact per attempt.
3 days ago
Rashee Rice Note
Rashee Rice photo 26. Rashee Rice WR - KC (vs . LAC)
Rice may be a great fantasy receiver, but last week we saw the issue of the Chiefs not having a true WR1 against the Texans. In a massive game for their playoff hopes, the Chiefs were dominated by the Texans' defense. Unfortunately, the road doesn't get a lot easier as they face the Chargers in Week 15. The Chargers have allowed teh fourth fewest fantasy points to opposing WRs over the last five weeks. Averaging less than 100 yards and 0.4 toucdowns per game to receivers, this defense is likely salivating at the chance to put the Chiefs' playoff hopes to bed. As Patrick Mahomes' top target, he will always see enough volume to come through for fantasy. Start him as a low-end WR1 this week.
4 days ago
TreVeyon Henderson Note
TreVeyon Henderson photo 27. TreVeyon Henderson RB - NE (vs . BUF)
In the Patriots' last game, we saw TreVeyon Henderson take a step back with Rhamondre Stevenson reclaiming his lead back role for the team. Henderson finished with 14 touches, 86 total yards, a 47.6% snap rate, a 41.7% route share, and a 12.9% target share. Henderson split the red zone work with Stevenson evenly as both backs had two red zone rushing attempts. It's a coin flip for volume between the two this week which adds a layer of volatility when projecting Hendrson's Week 15 outlook. I've been encouraged by Henderson's efficiency marks since Week 9, though. Since Week 9, among 51 qualifying backs, Henderson has been 14th in explosive run rate and 24th in missed tackle rate. Those are huge leaps from where he began the season. Henderson should find running room this week against what's still a weak Bills run defense. Since Week 10, Buffalo has allowed the 13th-highest explosive run rate, the seventh-highest missed tackle rate, and the fourth-most yards after contact per attempt.
3 days ago
Breece Hall Note
Breece Hall photo 28. Breece Hall RB - NYJ (at JAC)
Breece Hall is a volume-based RB2 in a rough spot this week. Hall is the RB18 in fantasy points per game with 17.8 touches and 91.3 total yards per game this season. Among 57 qualifying backs, he ranks seventh in explosive run rate and 19th in missed tackle rate. Hall could see 15-20 touches this week, but he might not sniff the endzone with Brady Cook directing the offense. The Jags have also not been kind to backs this season. Since Week 10, Jacksonville has allowed the fewest rushing yards per game, the second-lowest missed tackle rate, and the fourth-fewest yards before contact per attempt.
1 day ago
A.J. Brown Note
A.J. Brown photo 29. A.J. Brown WR - PHI (vs . LV)
I hope the Eagles have one of those Men in Black memory erasers in their locker room, because they really need to forget about last week. Thankfully, AJ. Brown managed to come through for his third straight week of at least 100 yards. For whatever reason, something has started to click between Brown and Jalen Hurts, making him a reliable WR1 in fantasy once again. This week, they play the Raiders, who are a pass-funnel defense. On paper, the Raiders are around league average against fantasy receivers. However, this is likely skewed due to the amount of negative gamescripts they find themselves in. Outside of Maxx Crosby, this defense has no one that can compete with the talent on the Eagles. Unless Saqoun Barkley has a massive day (which hasn't been the case this season), Brown should easily find his way to a fourth consecutive 100-yard game.
4 days ago
Kenneth Walker III Note
Kenneth Walker III photo 30. Kenneth Walker III RB - SEA (vs . IND)
The Seattle backfield has been an exhausting situation to attempt to project all season. Even when we think we have it figured out, the offensive line can't block, or the game script goes awry. It has been maddening. Since Week 11, Walker has had a 54.1% snap rate and 40.4% route share with a 9.5% target share. He has averaged 15 touches and 78.6 total yards with eight red zone rushing attempts (Zach Charbonnet had ten). Among 57 qualifying backs, Walker remains one of the best tackle breakers in the NFL, sitting at fourth in explosive run rate and second in missed tackle rate. Walker will be running uphill again this week. Since Week 10, Indy has allowed the seventh-lowest explosive run rate, the eighth-lowest missed tackle rate, and the sixth-fewest yards after contact per attempt.

Jameson Williams Note
Jameson Williams photo 31. Jameson Williams WR - DET (at LAR)
Rico Dowdle Note
Rico Dowdle photo 32. Rico Dowdle RB - CAR (at NO)
Despite his incredible efficiency and his standout performances this season, Dowdle took a back seat to Chuba Hubbard last week with a 43.5% snap rate, a 20.8% route share, and a 10% target share. Dowdle has outplayed Hubbard handily on a per-touch basis. Among 57 qualifying backs, Dowdle ranks 13th in explosive run rate, 17th in missed tackle rate, and sixth in yards after contact per attempt. Last week, Dowdle finished with 20 touches and 79 total yards, seeing a touch or a target on 20 of his 27 snaps played. That type of usage on a per-snap basis is difficult to maintain. You're threading a fine needle, so if Dowdle's snap count doesn't flip back in the other direction, he could become volatile, while on the surface it looked like he got an RB2-level workload in his last game. Dowdle is a strong flex and could be an RB2 this week (RB36 in Week 13). Since Week 10, New Orleans has allowed the tenth-most rushing yards per game, the 13th-most yards before contact per attempt, and the third-highest yards per carry to zone runs (Hubbard 58.6% zone).
3 days ago
Devin Neal Note
Devin Neal photo 33. Devin Neal RB - NO (vs . CAR)
Devin Neal will be the workhorse back for the Saints again this week. Over the last two weeks, he has averaged 18.5 touches and 76.5 total yards with a 76.9% snap rate as the RB36 and RB15 in weekly scoring. In those two games, Neal has had a decent 3% explosive run rate with a strong 15% missed tackle rate. He has a wonderful matchup this week as a strong RB2. Since Week 10, Carolina has allowed the eighth-most rushing yards per game, the fourth-highest missed tackle rate, and the seventh-most yards before contact per attempt.
1 day ago
Jaylen Warren Note
Jaylen Warren photo 34. Jaylen Warren RB - PIT (vs . MIA)
Since Week 12, Jaylen Warren has split the backfield work with Kenneth Gainwell, averaging 13.7 touches and 58 total yards. During those three games, Warren has had a 50.9% snap share, a 33% route share, and a 6.7% target share while seeing six red zone rushing attempts to Gainwell's seven. Overall, among 57 qualifying backs, Warren ranks fifth in missed tackle rate and 15th in yards after contact per attempt. Warren remains an RB2/3 this week with a tough matchup. Since Week 10, Miami has allowed the ninth-fewest rushing yards per game, the 14th-lowest rushing success rate, the third-lowest yards before contact per attempt, and had the sixth-highest stuff rate.

CeeDee Lamb Note
CeeDee Lamb photo 35. CeeDee Lamb WR - DAL (vs . MIN)
D'Andre Swift Note
D'Andre Swift photo 36. D'Andre Swift RB - CHI (vs . CLE)
Since Week 10, Swift has been the RB30 in fantasy points per game, averaging 16.6 touches and 97.4 total yards. He has split the red zone work, with Kyle Monangai with each player seeing five red zone rushing attempts. Overall, among 57 qualifying backs, Swift ranks tenth in explosive run rate and 19th in missed tackle rate. This week, he has another tough matchup. Yes, I know Tony Pollard ran all over Cleveland last week, but this run defense still scares me. Since Week 10, they have allowed the 14th-lowest explosive run rate, the lowest rushing success rate, and had the second-highest stuff rate. Swift is a volume-based RB2/3.
3 days ago
George Kittle Note
George Kittle photo 37. George Kittle TE - SF (vs . TEN)
Since his return in Week 7, Kittle has four weeks inside the top six at the position and has scored four touchdowns over that stretch. If you have managed to hold onto Kittle through his injury and made the playoffs, Kittle has a great schedule ahead. Starting with the Titans, who have allowed the seventh most fantasy points to the position since Week 9. This includes the sixth-most yards and sixth-most touchdowns to TEs over that stretch. With Trey McBride having two tough matchups ahead, there is an argument to be made for Kittle to be the TE1 over the next bit.
3 days ago
Tyrone Tracy Jr. Note
Tyrone Tracy Jr. photo 38. Tyrone Tracy Jr. RB - NYG (vs . WAS)
Tyrone Tracy opened the week with a full practice (hip). Tracy sustained the hip injury in Week 13 and was forced to leave the game, so the full practice to open the week was nice to see. I expect that Tracy will be a full go this week and return to the role we saw him operate in for Week 12. Against the Lions, he played 70.7% of the snaps with 23 touches and 130 total yards. He was the Giants' clear lead back. Tracy has been a volume play that has lacked efficiency with his 2.7% explosive run rate, his 7% missed tackle rate, and 2.04 yards after contact per attempt. Tracy could easily be an RB2 this week, though, against the Commanders' Swiss cheese run defense. Since Week 10, Washington has allowed the second-most rushing yards per game, the fourth-highest explosive run rate, and the fifth-highest missed tackle rate.
3 days ago
Aaron Jones Sr. Note
Aaron Jones Sr. photo 39. Aaron Jones Sr. RB - MIN (at DAL)
Since Week 10, Aaron Jones has averaged a 57.1% snap rate with 13.4 touches and 61.6 total yards. He has been Minnesota's lead back with Jordan Mason helping out on early downs. Jones hasn't been impressive as a rusher this season, with only a 7% missed tackle rate and 1.98 yards after contact per attempt. Jones runs into an improved Dallas run defense this week, which renders him a flex play only. Since the arrival of Quinnen Williams, Dallas has allowed the second-fewest rushing yards per game, the 12th-fewest yards before contact per attempt, and had the tenth-best stuff rate.
3 days ago
Trey McBride Note
Trey McBride photo 40. Trey McBride TE - ARI (at HOU)
For the first time since Week 5, McBride finished outside of the top six at the position. A stretch of seven games finishing within the top six, with six games within the top three, is unheard of. Unfortunately, he has two very difficult matchups coming up against the Texans and Falcons. However, the Bengals in championship week will likely single-handedly win people their leagues. However, we have to get there first. On the season, the Texans are allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to the TE position and less than 40 yards per game. Last week, they held Travis Kelce to one catch for eight yards. It may be a very tough matchup, but McBride is a different beast at the position. Start him with confidence despite the difficult matchup this week.
3 days ago
Jaylen Waddle Note
Jaylen Waddle photo 41. Jaylen Waddle WR - MIA (at PIT)
After two down weeks, Waddle bounced back with a WR10 finish in Week 14. Finishing with 50 receiving yards and a score, his 21-yard rush was icing for fantasy managers. This week, the Dolphins face the Steelers, who are allowing the 11th most fantasy points to the WR position over the last five weeks. This includes last week, when they allowed Zay Flowers to have eight catches for 124 yards. Waddle may not be the WR1 we had hoped for without Tyreek Hill, but his usage as the team's top target makes him a fringe WR1 in a plus matchup this week.
4 days ago
Michael Wilson Note
Michael Wilson photo 42. Michael Wilson WR - ARI (at HOU)
It's finally time for Michael Wilson to enter the WR1 discussion. Call the Cardinals offense a PPR scam, maybe even call them a joke, but take their fantasy production seriously. In three of his last four games, he has combined for 49 targets, 36 receptions, and 445 yards. That's an average of 16.3 targets, 12 receptions, and 148.3 yards over those games. Unfortunately, he only has one touchdown in his last four games, but the yardage and targets are out of this world. Regardless of whether Marvin Harrison Jr. comes back, Wilson is a must-start player in all formats. Unfortunately, his WR1 ability will be put to the test this week against Derek Stingley Jr. and an incredible Texans defense. Maybe temper expectations for this week, but he should still find a way to get enough targets to come through for fantasy.
4 days ago
Omarion Hampton Note
Omarion Hampton photo 43. Omarion Hampton RB - LAC (at KC)
In his first game back, Hampton had a 31% snap rate, seeing 15 touches on 22 snaps and finishing with 67 total yards and a score. Hampton had a 17.1% route share and 7.7% target share while being the goal-line back with five red-zone rushing attempts. Hampton will likely see his role grow this week, and it'll be a more even split with Kimani Vidal. That still only makes Hampton an RB2/3 with a bad matchup. Since Week 10, Kansas City has allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game, the tenth-lowest explosive run rate, the third-lowest missed tackle rate, and the fewest yards after contact per attempt.

Justin Jefferson Note
Justin Jefferson photo 44. Justin Jefferson WR - MIN (at DAL)
In JJ McCarthy's seven games with Justin Jefferson this season, he has two WR2 weekly finishes (WR18, WR20) with a 29.1% target share, 47 receiving yards per game, 1.62 yards per route run, and a 34.1% first-read share. In those seven games, he has seven red zone targets and nine deep targets. Last week was a disappointing game for Jefferson, no doubt. This is the volatility that we unfortunately see with a young quarterback who has been struggling and trying to find his NFL legs. Jefferson is a volatile play again this week with a nice matchup. Since Week 10, Dallas has allowed the 11th-most PPR points per target and the fifth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Note
Chris Rodriguez Jr. photo 45. Chris Rodriguez Jr. RB - WAS (at NYG)
Chris Rodriguez is a touchdown-dependent flex again this week with a nice matchup. Since Week 11, he has averaged 12.3 touches and 59.3 total yards as Washington's backfield leader. During that span, he has had 64.2% of the running back red zone carries. Rodriguez has only two targets, one reception, and six receiving yards this season, so if you're playing him, just understand that he offers nothing through the air. He has been quite good as a rusher, though. Among 57 qualifying rushers, he ranks 33rd in explosive run rate and first in yards after contact per attempt. The Giants remain a horrendous run defense. Since Week 10, they have allowed the most rushing yards per game, the highest explosive run rate, the third-highest missed tackle rate, and the most yards after contact per attempt. Rodriguez is dealing with a groin issue. He had limited practice sessions on Thursday and Friday. He has been listed as questionable.

Tetairoa McMillan Note
Tetairoa McMillan photo 46. Tetairoa McMillan WR - CAR (at NO)
Tetairoa McMillan is the WR18 in fantasy points per game with a 23.5% target share, 63.5 receiving yards per game, 2.02 yards per route run, and a 28.2% first-read share. He leads the team with 14 red zone targets and 16 deep targets. This week, he faces a Saints' secondary that, since Week 6, has had the third-highest single high rate (60.3%). Against single high, McMillan has seen his target share rise to 26.4% with 2.19 yards per route run and a 32.3% first-read share. McMillan has a tough matchup that he'll have to overcome while also dealing with Bryce Young's yo-yo style of quarterback play. Since Week 10, the Saints have held perimeter wide receivers to the eight-fewest PPR points per target and the lowest passer rating when targeted.

Terry McLaurin Note
Terry McLaurin photo 47. Terry McLaurin WR - WAS (at NYG)
In his six games played this season, McLaurin has two top 24 weekly finishes (WR8, WR20) with seven red zone targets and seven deep targets. McLaurin has a 19.8% target share with 2.15 yards per route run and a 26.2% first-read share. If Marcus Mariota is looking to stretch the field, McLaurin (13.7 aDOT) should have a strong game this week. New York has allowed the seventh-highest deep ball completion rate, the third-most deep passing yards per game, and the eighth-highest passer rating to downfield passing. This feels like a nice bounce-back spot for McLaurin. Since Week 10, New York has allowed the 11th-most fantasy points per game and ranked 16th in receiving yards per game against perimeter wide receivers.

Kyle Monangai Note
Kyle Monangai photo 48. Kyle Monangai RB - CHI (vs . CLE)
Since Week 10, Kyle Monangai has been the RB28 in fantasy points per game, averaging 13.8 touches and 60 total yards. He has added little receiving value during this stretch, with only two receptions and 14 receiving yards total. Monangai has been a steamroller on early downs, though. Among 57 qualifying backs, he ranks 19th in explosive run rate and 20th in yards after contact per attempt. Monangai has split the red zone usage with D'Andre Swift, with each back seeing five red zone rushing attempts. This week, he has another tough matchup. Yes, I know Tony Pollard ran all over Cleveland last week, but this run defense still scares me. Since Week 10, they have allowed the 14th-lowest explosive run rate, the lowest rushing success rate, and had the second-highest stuff rate. Monangai is a volume-based RB2/3.

Zay Flowers Note
Zay Flowers photo 49. Zay Flowers WR - BAL (at CIN)
Zay Flowers exploded last week with his first 100-yard receiving game since Week 1. Flowers is the WR27 in fantasy points per game with a 26.7% target share, 68.5 receiving yards per game, 2.32 yards per route run, and a 33.3% first-read share. Flowers leads the team with 15 deep targets, but he has only seven red zone targets, which is tied for second on the team. The last time Flowers faced the Bengals, DJ Turner followed him on 62.9% of his routes, holding him to two targets and zero receiving yards in his coverage. Turner has shadowed six times this season, following Flowers, DK Metcalf (twice), Justin Jefferson, Romeo Doubs, and Gabe Davis on 62.9-90.3% of their routes, holding each receiver to 45 or fewer scoreless receiving yards. I'm worried about Flowers this week. Even if Turner isn't in his back pocket for most of the game, we also need to talk about the fact that the last time Cincy played Baltimore, they utilized two high with 52.6% of their defensive snaps. Against two high, Flowers has had a 23.1% target share, 1.68 yards per route run, and a 30.5% first-read share. The market share against two high remains high, but the efficiency dip isn't great. Flowers could still finish with a solid stat line, but I doubt it will be a boom week.

Chuba Hubbard Note
Chuba Hubbard photo 50. Chuba Hubbard RB - CAR (at NO)
In Carolina's last game, Chuba Hubbard reclaimed the lead back role with a 58.1% snap rate, a 54.2% route share, and a 10% target share. Hubbard finished with 19 touches and 124 total yards as the RB5 for the week. Hubbard's lack of efficiency has been startling, especially with Carolina's insistence on reinstalling him as the lead back. Among 57 qualifying backs, he has zero explosive runs and ranks 54th in missed tackle rate and 55th in yards after contact per attempt. Hubbard could still have a nice day against a burnable Saints' run defense. Since Week 10, New Orleans has allowed the tenth-most rushing yards per game, the 13th-most yards before contact per attempt, and the third-highest yards per carry to zone runs (Hubbard 58.6% zone).

DK Metcalf Note
DK Metcalf photo 51. DK Metcalf WR - PIT (vs . MIA)
DK Metcalf is the WR25 in fantasy points per game with a 22.2% target share with 57.9 receiving yards per game, 2.04 yards per route run, and a 28.7% first-read share. Metcalf leads the team with 13 red zone targets and 16 deep targets. This week, he faces a Dolphins' secondary that, since Week 13, has had the third-highest two-high rate (68.2%). Against two high, Metcalf has seen his target share dip to 16.7% with 1.67 yards per route run and a 22% first-read share. Metcalf's decreased efficiency against two high has been an issue dating back to his Seattle days. He remains a solid WR3. Since Week 10, Miami has allowed the 15th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers while ranking 17th in fantasy points per game surrendered to the position.

Christian Watson Note
Christian Watson photo 52. Christian Watson WR - GB (at DEN)
Christian Watson or Romeo Doubs will see the Patrick Surtain shadow treatment this week. Surtain has shadowed five times this season, following A.J. Brown, Calvin Ridley, Quentin Johnston, Terry McLaurin, and Ja'Marr Chase on 64.3-94.7% of their routes. Only McLaurin scored a touchdown with Surtain in tow, but none of those receivers surpassed 61 receiving yards with Surtain following them. Since Week 10, Christian Watson has been the WR13 in fantasy points per game with a 21.6% target share, 61.8 receiving yards per game, 2.49 yards per route run, and a 28.4% first-read share. In those five games, Watson has had two red zone targets and 11 deep targets. Since Week 8, Denver has utilized two high at the ninth-highest rate (57.1%). Since Week 10, against two high, Watson has ranked second on the team with a 17.2% target share with 2.26 yards per route run (leads the team) and a 25.7% first-read share. If Surtain doesn't follow Watson, I expect him to see a bump in usage, but I lean that he'll be the one that Surtain follows. I'm worried about his outlook this week with Surtain on him. Since Week 8, Denver has allowed the sixth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers while also holding them to the 14th-fewest PPR points per target.

Chris Olave Note
Chris Olave photo 53. Chris Olave WR - NO (vs . CAR)
Since Week 9, with Tyler Shough under center, Olave has been the WR22 in fantasy points per game with a 22.4% target share, 61.6 receiving yards per game, 1.95 yards per route run, and a 31.3% first-read share. In those five games, Olave has four end zone targets and ten deep targets. This week, he faces a Carolina pass defense that, since Week 8, has utilized single high at the seventh-highest rate (58.5%). Since Week 9, against single high, Olave has had a 26.5% first-read share with 2.19 yards per route run and a 31.3% first-read share. Olave is a strong WR1/2 again this week. Since Week 10, Carolina has allowed the seventh-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

Tony Pollard Note
Tony Pollard photo 54. Tony Pollard RB - TEN (at SF)
Last week, Tony Pollard reclaimed his lead back role with a 59.4% snap rate and 25 of the 33 running back carries. He didn't play much on passing downs with only a 10.3% route share, so he could get game-scripted out this week if (or when) the 49ers run away with the game. Pollard finished with 25 carries and 161 rushing yards (two scores). It was his highest carry total of the season and his first 100-yard rushing day in 2025. Among 57 qualifying backs, Pollard ranks 36th in explosive run rate and 26th in yards after contact per attempt. Pollard could have another nice day if the Titans lean on the run. Since Week 10, the 49ers have allowed the third-highest rushing success rate, the eighth-highest missed tackle rate, the eighth-highest yards after contact per attempt, and had the third-lowest stuff rate.

DeVonta Smith Note
DeVonta Smith photo 55. DeVonta Smith WR - PHI (vs . LV)
DeVonta Smith is the WR22 in fantasy points per game, drawing a 24.9% target share with 64.5 receiving yards per game, with 2.02 yards per route run, and a 30.9% first-read share. Smith has eight red zone targets this season and is tied for the team lead with 19 deep targets. This week, he faces a Raiders' secondary that, since Week 9, has had the second-highest single high rate (62.1%). A.J. Brown has led the way for the Philly passing attack, but Smith has been involved heavily as well with a 23.2% target share, 1.93 yards per route run, and a 28.8% first-read share. Since Week 10, the Raiders have allowed the 11th-most PPR points per target to slot receivers. Smith remains in the WR2/3 bucket for Week 15

Jauan Jennings Note
Jauan Jennings photo 56. Jauan Jennings WR - SF (vs . TEN)
Since Week 9, Jauan Jennings has been the WR20 in fantasy points per game with a 21.2% target share, 49.2 receiving yards per game, 1.92 yards per route run, and a 30.7% first-read share. In those five games, he has had six red zone targets and four deep targets. He has been the clear WR2 in the offense even since Ricky Pearsall has been back in the lineup. Since Week 10, Tennessee has allowed the eighth-most receiving yards per game and the third-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Jennings should smash again this week.

Jakobi Meyers Note
Jakobi Meyers photo 57. Jakobi Meyers WR - JAC (vs . NYJ)
Since Week 11, Jakobi Meyers has been the Jags' unquestioned WR1 with a 24.5% target share, 60.8 receiving yards per game, 2.29 yards per route run, and a 29.9% first-read share. In those four games, he has had six red zone targets and one deep target. He's a strong WR2/3 again this week. Since Week 10, New York has ranked 16th in PPR points per target against perimeter wide receivers.

Devin Singletary Note

Rhamondre Stevenson Note
Rhamondre Stevenson photo 59. Rhamondre Stevenson RB - NE (vs . BUF)
In New England's last game, Stevenson reclaimed his lead-back role with a 60.3% snap rate, 15 touches, and 80 total yards. He split the red zone work with TreVeyon Henderson, with each player receiving two red zone rushing attempts. In Week 13, Stevenson also led the team with a 58.3% route share while kicking in a 9.7% target share. Among 57 qualifying backs this season, Stevenson ranks seventh in missed tackle rate and 33rd in yards after contact per attempt. We'll see how the backfield shakes out this week, but Stevenson should remain an integral part of the offensive game plan as a strong flex play. Since Week 10, Buffalo has allowed the 13th-highest explosive run rate, the seventh-highest missed tackle rate, and the fourth-most yards after contact per attempt.

Deebo Samuel Sr. Note
Deebo Samuel Sr. photo 60. Deebo Samuel Sr. WR - WAS (at NYG)
Deebo Samuel is the WR22 in fantasy points per game with a 23.1% target share, 46.8 receiving yards per game, 1.69 yards per route run, and a 27.8% first-read share. He has 12 red zone targets and seven deep targets this season. Samuel could also have a strong day this week against a New York secondary that, since Week 10, has allowed the most PPR points per target and the ninth-most receiving yards per game to slot receivers.

Emeka Egbuka Note
Emeka Egbuka photo 61. Emeka Egbuka WR - TB (vs . ATL)
Well, so much for the bounce back that I forecasted last week. Emeka Egbuka had nine targets that he turned into two receptions for 15 receiving yards. Since Week 7, he has had only two outings that landed him inside the top-36 for wide receiver weekly scoring (WR5, WR32). Since Week 7, he has had a 28.7% target share and a 36.4% first-read share that he has turned into only 48.1 receiving yards per game and 1.42 yards per route run. In those seven games, he has had eight red zone targets and six deep targets. Not all of Egbuka's struggles can be laid at his feet, as during this stretch, only 50% of his targets have been catchable. Much of this has been related to Baker Mayfield's struggles. Hopefully, with the Bucs at full strength in the wide receiver room this week, Egbuka can have a bounce-back game with Mayfield playing better. With the improved target competition, I do expect his market share in the offense to fall. Egbuka falls into the WR2/3 or flex territory this week. Since Week 10, Atlanta has allowed the second-most PPR points per target and the third-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Courtland Sutton Note
Courtland Sutton photo 62. Courtland Sutton WR - DEN (vs . GB)
Courtland Sutton is the WR23 in fantasy points per game with an 18.5% target share, 59.5 receiving yards per game, 1.89 yards per route run, and a 23.4% first-read share. Sutton is second on the team in red zone targets (ten) and deep targets (13). Sutton is headed for a down game this week. Since Week 12, Green Bay has utilized two high at the second-highest rate (69.5%). Against two high, Sutton's numbers have suffered with a 14% target share with 1.37 yards per route run and a 17.4% first-read share. Since Week 10, Green Bay has allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game and the 14th-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Sutton needs a touchdown to save his fantasy day in Week 15.

Brock Bowers Note
Brock Bowers photo 63. Brock Bowers TE - LV (at PHI)
There are two sides to every story, but there may be zero right answers. This is the case with Bowers, as we now have Kenny Pickett coming in for Geno Smith this week. We all know that Bowers is one of the elite talents at the position, but we also know the Raiders are an absolute mess. Last week, with Geno playing three quarters and Pickett coming in to finish the game, Bowers managed to score his third touchdown in the last two weeks and catch four passes for 46 yards. Touchdowns may be hard to come by with Pickett under center, but you can't sit a player like Bowers. Thankfully, his involvement provides a decent fantasy floor, and managers will have to hope he can keep his touchdown streak going.

Wan'Dale Robinson Note
Wan'Dale Robinson photo 64. Wan'Dale Robinson WR - NYG (vs . WAS)
Wan'Dale Robinson is having a wonderful breakout season as the WR20 in fantasy points per game with a 25.9% target share with 63.7 receiving yards per game, 1.90 yards per route run, and a 30.9% first-read share. Robinson should have another strong game this week. Since Week 11, Washington has led the NFL in two high rate (70%!). Against two high, Robinson has maintained strong usage with a 25.6% target share, 1.81 yards per route run, and a 32.2% first-read share. Since Week 10, Washington has allowed the sixth-most PPR points per target and the 12th-most receiving yards per game to slot receivers.

Stefon Diggs Note
Stefon Diggs photo 65. Stefon Diggs WR - NE (vs . BUF)
Since Week 12, Stefon Diggs has seen his usage dip again with a 53.3% route share, a 10.6% target share, and a 12.8% first-read share. Diggs may continue to see this limited usage coming out of the bye, but I expect his usage to increase in a massive game against his former employer. Overall, Diggs has a 64.4% route share, a 20.1% target share, 54.2 receiving yards per game, 2.30 yards per route run, and a 22% first-read share. Diggs is second on the team with 11 red zone targets and eight deep targets. This week, he faces a Bills' secondary that has the third-highest two-high rate (57.2%). Against two high, Diggs has had a 22.8% target share, 2.04 yards per route run, and a 26.9% first-read share. The biggest worry for Diggs this week is that he could get shadowed by Christian Benford. This season, Benford has followed DK Metcalf, Nico Collins, Tetairoa McMillan, Ja'Marr Chase, Drake London, Chris Olave, and Tyreek Hill on 61.3-72.7% of their routes. Only Olave and Hill scored touchdowns in his primary coverage, but none of those receivers surpassed 43 receiving yards with Benford in coverage. Diggs has a wide range of outcomes in Week 15.

Kareem Hunt Note
Kareem Hunt photo 66. Kareem Hunt RB - KC (vs . LAC)
Kareem Hunt is a volume-based RB2 this week. Since Week 9, he has had a 70.5% snap rate while averaging 17.2 touches and 71.4 total yards. Hunt has only a 1.4% explosive run rate, an 11% missed tackle rate, and 2.17 yards after contact per attempt, but that hasn't stopped Kansas City from running him out there as their lead back weekly. I don't understand it, but at Week 15, I don't expect it to change. The Chargers' run defense continues to be a weak point of their defense. Since Week 10, the Bolts have allowed the 13th-highest rushing success rate, the second-highest missed tackle rate, the ninth-most yards before contact per attempt, and ranked 16th in stuff rate.
3 days ago
Ladd McConkey Note
Ladd McConkey photo 67. Ladd McConkey WR - LAC (at KC)
Last week, Ladd McConkey led the team with a 19.2% target share, which amounted to only five targets that he turned into one reception and 12 receiving yards. The entire Bolts' passing attack has to be downgraded with the passing volume in question. This week, he'll lead the way again versus Kansas City's two-high coverage. Since Week 11, Kansas City has had the third-highest two-high rate (62.2%). Since Week 6, against two high, McConkey has had a 24% target share with 1.19 yards per route run and a 24% first-read share (leads the team). McConkey's dip in efficiency versus two high is concerning, especially when you also consider that Kansas City has been good against slot receivers. Since Week 10, Kansas City has allowed the fourth-fewest PPR points per target and the eighth-fewest receiving yards per game to the position. If you have to play him this week, I get it, but don't expect a massive stat line.

Kenneth Gainwell Note
Kenneth Gainwell photo 68. Kenneth Gainwell RB - PIT (vs . MIA)
Since Week 12, Kenneth Gainwell has split the backfield work with Jaylen Warren taking the lead in the red zone and with passing work. Since Week 12, he has averaged 11 touches and 69.6 total yards with a 48.9% snap share, a 48.9% route share, and 15.7% target share. During this stretch, he has had seven red zone rushing attempts (Warren, six). Overall, among 57 qualifying backs, he ranks 26th in missed tackle rate and 31st in explosive run rate. Gainwell is a PPR flex this week with a tough matchup. Since Week 10, Miami has allowed the ninth-fewest rushing yards per game, the 14th-lowest rushing success rate, the third-lowest yards before contact per attempt, and had the sixth-highest stuff rate.

Brian Thomas Jr. Note
Brian Thomas Jr. photo 69. Brian Thomas Jr. WR - JAC (vs . NYJ)
Since Week 13, Brian Thomas Jr. has become the field-stretching component of the passing attack with a 21.8 aDOT, 15.5% target share, 57.5 receiving yards per game, 2.13 yards per route run, and a 22.5% first-read share. In these two games, 55.5% of his target volume has come via deep targets, while he has seen zero end zone or red zone targets. This isn't a great matchup for downfield passing. Since Week 9, the Jets have allowed the 13th-lowest deep ball completion rate, the sixth-fewest deep passing yards per game, and ranked 16th in passer rating versus deep passing. Thomas Jr. is a volatile flex option. Since Week 10, New York has ranked 16th in PPR points per target against perimeter wide receivers.

Blake Corum Note
Blake Corum photo 70. Blake Corum RB - LAR (vs . DET)
Blake Corum exploded last week in a good matchup in his part-time role with a 31.4% snap rate, 13 touches, and 131 total yards (two touchdowns). Since Week 7, he has averaged 10.7 touches and 56.9 total yards with a 32.8% snap rate. Among 57 qualifying backs, Corum ranks second in explosive run rate, sixth in missed tackle rate, and 23rd in yards after contact per attempt. Corum will likely see 8-12 touches this week, but he'll need a touchdown to pay off as a flex play with a rough matchup. Since Week 10, Detroit has limited backs to the second-lowest explosive run rate, the 11th-lowest rushing success rate, the fifth-fewest yards after contact per attempt, and the 12th-fewest yards before contact per attempt.

David Montgomery Note
David Montgomery photo 71. David Montgomery RB - DET (at LAR)
David Montgomery is a touchdown-dependent flex play again this week. Since Week 11, he has averaged 8.1 touches and 48.8 total yards with a 35.3% snap rate. Montgomery has still been effective on a per-carry basis. Among 57 qualifying backs, he ranks 27th in explosive run rate and 11th in yards after contact per attempt. Montgomery will have a tough time with his early down grinding this week. Since Week 10, the Rams have allowed the 12th-fewest rushing yards per game, the fifth-lowest explosive run rate, the tenth-lowest rushing success rate, and the ninth-lowest yards before contact per attempt. Montgomery needs a touchdown to pay off for fantasy this week.

Kyle Pitts Sr. Note
Kyle Pitts Sr. photo 72. Kyle Pitts Sr. TE - ATL (at TB)
Have we seen a turning point for Kyle Pitts? With back-to-back top-seven finishes at the position for the first time in his career, the Falcons are starting to use him differently. Either the team has decided to change his role, or this is a direct result of Drake London missing time. This week, London is already ruled out, setting up Pitts for another decent game. The Falcons take on the Bucs in a divisional showdown this Thursday. Over the last five weeks, the Bucs have been hovering around league average in fantasy points allowed to the TE. That said, we know that the Bucs' secondary can be exploited, and Pitts' receiver traits may be able to take advantage of the matchup. Keep riding high off of his 82 and 90-yard games this week.

Jordan Addison Note
Jordan Addison photo 73. Jordan Addison WR - MIN (at DAL)
In Jordan Addison's five games with McCarthy under center, he hasn't finished better than WR30 in any week, with only two top-36 weekly finishes (WR30, WR31). In those five games, he has had a 17.7% target share with 33 receiving yards per game, 1.15 yards per route run, and a 24% first-read share. In that same five-game sample, he has had two red zone targets and eight deep targets. He draws another plus matchup that renders him a low-end flex again this week. Since Week 10, Dallas has allowed the 11th-most PPR points per target and the fifth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Zach Charbonnet Note
Zach Charbonnet photo 74. Zach Charbonnet RB - SEA (vs . IND)
Since Week 11, Zach Charbonnet has averaged 10.5 touches with 50 total yards per game while leading the way with ten red zone rushing attempts. During that span, he has had a 40.2% snap rate with a 25% route share and a 4.0% target share. Among 57 qualifying backs, Charbonnet ranks ninth in yards after contact per attempt and 15th in missed tackle rate. Charbonnet remains a touchdown-or-bust flex play. Since Week 10, Indy has allowed the seventh-lowest explosive run rate, the eighth-lowest missed tackle rate, and the sixth-fewest yards after contact per attempt.

Over the last two games, Godwin has had a 70.6% route share with a 20.7% target share, 66.5 receiving yards per game, 2.77 yards per route run, and a 22.2% first-read share. In those two games, he has had two red zone targets and one deep target. Godwin was the WR33 and WR27 in weekly scoring. Godwin is a strong WR3/flex. Since Week 10, Atlanta has allowed the 14th-most PPR points per target and the eighth-highest passer rating when targeted to slot receivers.

Mike Evans Note
Mike Evans photo 76. Mike Evans WR - TB (vs . ATL)
Mike Evans will be back this week. I expect him to maybe be on a snap count, but to compensate for that with a high route share, as the Bucs will just limit his workload on rushing plays if they ease him in. We have no idea what to expect in terms of usage for Evans, Chris Godwin, and Emeka Egbuka as they haven't played a game all together in 2025. In Weeks 1-3, Evans was the clear leader of the passing attack with a 27.3% target share and 35.4% first-read share, churning out 46.7 receiving yards per game with 1.56 yards per route run. In those three games, Evans had five red zone targets and six deep targets. I expect him to see plenty of high cholesterol usage this week, even in a somewhat limited role. Since Week 10, Atlanta has allowed the second-most PPR points per target and the third-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Evans is at minimum a strong flex with WR2 upside.

After last week's monster performance, Fannin Jr. is the TE11 in fantasy points per game for the season. Since Week 12, with Shedeur Sanders under center, he has had a 23.9% target share with 65.7 receiving yards per game, 2.43 yards per route run, and a 25% first-read share. In those three games, he has one red zone target and two deep targets. Fannin draws another favorable matchup this week. Chicago has allowed the 12th-most receiving yards per game and the 13th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends. He's a locked-in TE1.

Mark Andrews Note
Mark Andrews photo 78. Mark Andrews TE - BAL (at CIN)
Mark Andrews has had a wildly disappointing season as the TE20 in fantasy points per game. In his last outing against Cincy, he was the TE17 for the week, securing four of his six targets with 47 receiving yards. Sadly, that is the most receiving yards Andrews has had in a game this season. Andrews has four TE1 weekly finishes this season, but they have all been fueled by touchdowns. The last time the Ravens faced the Bengals, they utilized two high with 52.6% of their defensive snaps. Against two high, Andrews has had a 15% target share with 0.77 yards per route run and a 23.2% first-read share. Andrews could have a strong game against this porous pass defense, and it wouldn't shock me, but he easily could flop again. The range of outcomes for Andrews is wide this week, which makes him tough to trust in the first round of the fantasy playoffs. Cincy has allowed the most receiving yards, yards per target, and fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Jayden Reed Note
Jayden Reed photo 80. Jayden Reed WR - GB (at DEN)
Last week, Reed stepped back into the lineup with a 65.4% route share, a 16% target share, 31 receiving yards, 1.82 yards per route run, and a 25% first-read share (tied for the team lead). Reed didn't have a red zone or deep target. Denver hasn't been a wonderful matchup for slot receivers, but with Christian Watson or Romeo Doubs getting the Patrick Surtain shadow, Reed could be more heavily involved this week. Since Week 10, Denver has allowed the 12th-fewest PPR points per target to slot receivers.

Xavier Worthy Note
Xavier Worthy photo 83. Xavier Worthy WR - KC (vs . LAC)
Since Rashee Rice's return, Worthy hasn't finished higher than WR28 in any week, and he has only two top 36 weekly finishes (WR28, WR33). Since Week 7, he has had a 15.3% target share, 44.4 receiving yards per game, 1.36 yards per route run, and a 19.4% first-read share. In those seven games, he has had three red zone targets and seven deep targets. Sit Worthy this week. Since Week 10, the Bolts have held perimeter wide receivers to the tenth-fewest PPR points per target and the 12th-fewest receiving yards per game.

Khalil Shakir Note
Khalil Shakir photo 84. Khalil Shakir WR - BUF (at NE)
Across the last two games, Shakir has seen his route share dip to 52.4% with an 11.8% target share, 10.5 receiving yards per game, and a 16.1% first-read share. In those games, he has had two red zone targets and zero deep targets. Since Week 10, New England has allowed the 14th-fewest PPR points per target and the tenth-fewest receiving yards per game to slot receivers. Shakir has been crushed by Buffalo's insistence upon utilizing a passing game by committee approach. I can't trust him in the opening week of the fantasy playoffs.

Tyler Warren Note
Tyler Warren photo 85. Tyler Warren TE - IND (at SEA)
Who doesn't love taking a shot in the dark heading into the fantasy playoffs? We know Tyler Warren is having a great rookie season. What we don't know is how Philip Rivers' return to the NFL will be. With Daniel Jones out for the rest of the season and Riley Leonard injuring his knee, it's up to the 44-year-old to try and salvage this season. Before he retired, Rivers was very friendly to the TE position. Helping Eric Ebron reach 13 touchdowns in 2018 with the Colts. It's truly anyone's guess how Rivers will be in his return, but Warren has the talent to continue to be a good fantasy option. Unless you have the safety of a known player like Brenton Strange or Kyle Pitts, you are likely locked into Warren and hoping for the best.

Luther Burden III Note
Luther Burden III photo 86. Luther Burden III WR - CHI (vs . CLE)
Since Week 12, Luther Burden has had a 54.7% route share with a 16% target share, 48.7 receiving yards per game, 2.28 yards per route run, and a 23.6% first-read share. In those three games, he has had one red zone target and zero deep targets. Burden had weekly scoring finishes of WR36, WR44, and WR25. Burden is a middling flex play again this week. The Browns have allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game and the second-fewest receiving yards per game to wide receivers this season.

Adonai Mitchell Note
Adonai Mitchell photo 87. Adonai Mitchell WR - NYJ (at JAC)
Last week, with Brady Cook under center, Mitchell had a 14.2 aDOT with a 17.6% target share, 24 receiving yards, and a 14.8% first-read share. I don't have much faith in Mitchell this week despite drawing a nice matchup on the perimeter. I don't trust Cook to get the ball to Mitchell consistently. If you are forced to consider Mitchell as a flex play this week, I get it, but outside of pure desperation mode, I'm not playing Mitchell this week. Since Week 10, Jacksonville has allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game and the sixth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Jayden Higgins Note
Jayden Higgins photo 88. Jayden Higgins WR - HOU (vs . ARI)
Since Week 10, Jayden Higgins has been the WR27 in fantasy points per game with an 18.1% target share, 46.8 receiving yards per game, 2.11 yards per route run, and a 21.6% first-read share. In those five games, he has had four red zone targets and six deep targets. This week, he faces an Arizona pass defense that has featured the fifth-highest rate of two high (57.1%). Since Week 10, against two high, Higgins has had an 18.4% target share with 2.14 yards per route run and a 22.1% first-read share. It's nice to see that his usage and efficiency have remained stable and in line with his overall numbers. Higgins is a strong WR3/flex again this week. Since Week 10, Arizona has allowed the most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

Michael Pittman Jr. Note
Michael Pittman Jr. photo 89. Michael Pittman Jr. WR - IND (at SEA)
The Colts have been highly coverage-specific with their wide receiver usage, but they have a new quarterback and face a pass defense that has flipped back and forth between single and two high this year. I'm just going to look at the Colts' receiving options with a top-down perspective this week. Pittman is the WR15 in fantasy points per game with a 21.8% target share, 53.8 receiving yards per game, 1.79 yards per route run, and a 25.4% first-read share. He ranks third on the team with ten red zone targets, and he has kicked in with seven deep targets. Pittman will struggle this week against a secondary that, since Week 10, has allowed the fewest PPR points per target and the second-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Alec Pierce Note
Alec Pierce photo 90. Alec Pierce WR - IND (at SEA)
The Colts have been highly coverage-specific with their wide receiver usage, but they have a new quarterback and face a pass defense that has flipped back and forth between single and two high this year. I'm just going to look at the Colts' receiving options with a top-down perspective this week. Alec Pierce is the WR34 in fantasy points per game with six weeks as a top-36 wide receiver in weekly scoring. Pierce has an 18.7% target share with 69.9 receiving yards per game, 2.32 yards per route run, and a 22.8% first-read share. He has only five red zone targets as his main job has been as the deep threat, with 30.3% of his target volume coming via downfield targets (18.8 aDOT). This matchup doesn't set up well for Pierce this week. Since Week 10, Seattle has allowed the fewest PPR points per target and the second-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Also, they have allowed the eighth-fewest deep passing yards per game and the fifth-lowest passer rating to downfield targets.

Brenton Strange Note
Brenton Strange photo 91. Brenton Strange TE - JAC (vs . NYJ)
Just as everyone bought into Brenton Strange last week, he tosses a dud. Last week, in a wonderful matchup, he secured only three of his six targets for 27 scoreless receiving yards. Since Week 12, he has two TE1 weekly finishes (TE4, TE7) while drawing a 17% target share with 55 receiving yards per game, 2.39 yards per route run, and a 17.7% first-read share. In those three games, he has had three red zone targets and four deep targets. This isn't the week to consider going back to Strange. Since Week 9, the Jets have allowed the 12th-fewest receiving yards per game and the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Zonovan Knight Note
Zonovan Knight photo 92. Zonovan Knight RB - ARI (at HOU)
Zonovan Knight will be Arizona's early down hammer this week. Since Week 6, Knight has been the RB29 in fantasy points per game, averaging 12.2 touches and 50.9 total yards. He has been a touchdown-dependent flex and remains that this week. He could easily get game scripted out this week if Houston jumps out to an early lead. Since Week 10, Houston has allowed the tenth-fewest rushing yards per game, the lowest missed tackle rate, and the 13th-fewest yards after contact per attempt.

Dalton Kincaid Note
Dalton Kincaid photo 93. Dalton Kincaid TE - BUF (at NE)
Last week, Dalton Kincaid had only a 41.7% route share. Sure, he paid off for fantasy with a 17.9% target share, 41 receiving yards, 2.73 yards per route run, a touchdown, and a 27.8% first-read share, but that is a tough bet to make weekly. With that limited route share, Kincaid has to get peppered with targets and hopefully score a touchdown to pay off. He's been a limited snap player all year, but a 50-60% route share is a different conversation from a player living in the 40s. Could he pay off again this week? It's possible. New England has allowed the 11th-most receiving yards per game and the 12th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends. Starting Kincaid this week depends upon your willingness to embrace risk and your options at tight end. I don't think Kincaid's knee and hamstring will be much healthier than they were last week, so he's probably looking at a similar route share range in Week 15.

Isaiah Likely Note
Isaiah Likely photo 94. Isaiah Likely TE - BAL (at CIN)
The last time Isaiah Likely faced Cincy in Week 13, he secured five of his six targets with 95 receiving yards as the TE9 for the week. In that same game, the Bengals utilized two high with 52.6% of their defensive snaps. Against two high, Likely has had a 13.8% target share with 1.41 yards per route run and a 10.5% first-read share. Likely has been the more productive tight end this season for Baltimore against two high this season, and it wouldn't be shocking to see him outproduce Mark Andrews again. Likely is a solid streaming option at tight end this week. Cincy has allowed the most receiving yards, yards per target, and fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Ricky Pearsall Note
Ricky Pearsall photo 95. Ricky Pearsall WR - SF (vs . TEN)
I don't know what Ricky Pearsall did to piss off Kyle Shanahan, but he has been a ghost since his return to the lineup. Since Week 11, Pearsall has had a 10.2% target share with 6.7 receiving yards per game and a 10.2% first-read share. In those three games, he has had two end zone targets and three deep targets. Pearsall is a dart throw flex only until we see his role in this offense reappear. Since Week 10, Tennessee has allowed the eighth-most receiving yards per game and the third-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Jennings should smash again this week.

Jerry Jeudy Note
Jerry Jeudy photo 96. Jerry Jeudy WR - CLE (at CHI)
Jerry Jeudy had his second-best game of the season last week with 76 receiving yards (one touchdown) and a WR15 finish for the week. Since Week 12, he has had a 13.6% target share with a 29.6% air-yard share, 47 receiving yards per game, 1.70 yards per route run, and an 18.2% first-read share. In those three games, Jeudy has zero red zone targets and three deep targets. Jeudy is back to low-end flex territory this week. Since Week 10, Chicago has allowed the tenth-fewest receiving yards per game and the ninth-fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

Theo Johnson Note
Theo Johnson photo 97. Theo Johnson TE - NYG (vs . WAS)
With Jaxson Dart under center, Theo Johnson has been the TE12 in fantasy points per game with five top-12 finishes among tight ends in weekly scoring. Since Week 4, Johnson has had a 19.1% target share with 40.7 receiving yards per game, 1.49 yards per route run, and a 22.5% first-read share. In those 10 games, he has had nine red-zone targets, four deep targets, and five receiving touchdowns. Johnson could easily be a TE1 again this week. Washington has allowed the ninth-most receiving yards, the second-highest yards per target, and the fifth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Jake Ferguson Note
Jake Ferguson photo 98. Jake Ferguson TE - DAL (vs . MIN)
Jake Ferguson is the TE5 in fantasy points per game with an 18.3% target share, 42.6 receiving yards per game, 1.40 yards per route run, and a 20.3% first-read share. Ferguson ranks second amongst tight ends in red zone targets with 21, while also seeing four deep targets. The Vikings are a middle-of-the-road matchup that Ferguson could exploit this week. Minnesota has allowed the 14th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends while ranking 17th in receiving yards per game. Ferguson is dealing with a calf injury. He didn't practice on Thursday, but he had limited practices on Wednesday and Friday. He has been listed as questionable. If you're depending on Ferguson this week, make sure you have a backup plan at tight end. With this game not kicking off until Sunday night, you might be left picking up Pat Freiermuth or Jonnu Smith as an emergency play.

Darnell Mooney Note
Darnell Mooney photo 99. Darnell Mooney WR - ATL (at TB)
Since Week 12, without Drake London, Darnell Mooney has only once finished higher than WR69 in weekly scoring. In those three games, Mooney has had a 14% target share with 35 receiving yards per game, 1.40 yards per route run, and a 19.6% first-read share. Since Week 12, he has had three red zone targets and two deep targets. It's been surprising how much he has struggled to command a high market share in the Atlanta passing offense with only Kyle Pitts to deal with weekly. He's a decent flex play this week with a good matchup. Since Week 10, Tampa Bay has allowed the 12th-most receiving yards per game and the 13th-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Hunter Henry Note
Hunter Henry photo 100. Hunter Henry TE - NE (vs . BUF)
Hunter Henry is the TE12 in fantasy points per game with four TE1 weekly outings. Henry has a 17% target share with 46.9 receiving yards per game, 1.76 yards per route run, and a 19.3% first-read share. Henry leads the team with 16 red zone targets while also seeing six deep targets. This isn't a week to plug Henry into the starting lineup. The Bills have been an elite team at covering tight ends for the last few seasons, and this one isn't any different. Buffalo has allowed the second-fewest receiving yards per game and the second-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Quentin Johnston Note
Quentin Johnston photo 101. Quentin Johnston WR - LAC (at KC)
Sit Quentin Johnston this week. Two high coverage has been his kryptonite all season. Since Week 11, Kansas City has had the third-highest two-high rate (62.2%). Since Week 6, against two high, Johnston has had a 10.9% target share, 0.55 yards per route run, and a 13.8% first-read share. The Bolts will likely limit their passing volume again this week, and if Johnston is only a tertiary piece of a limited passing attack, he's likely to disappoint.
3 days ago
Troy Franklin Note
Troy Franklin photo 102. Troy Franklin WR - DEN (vs . GB)
Last week, Troy Franklin's route share fell off the table to 39.5% and he had only a 10.5% target share. Franklin hasn't been an 80-85% route share receiver this season, but even in Week 13, when people were worried about his usage, he had a 68.8% route share, which has been pretty much his baseline this season. Franklin is off the flex radar this week after the dip in his playing time and the tough matchup this week. Since Week 12, Green Bay has utilized two high at the second-highest rate (69.5%). Against two high, Franklin's target share has only been 14.8% with 0.95 yards per route run. That's not good enough to justify blind faith and playing him this week. Since Week 10, Green Bay has allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game and the 14th-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Juwan Johnson Note
Juwan Johnson photo 103. Juwan Johnson TE - NO (vs . CAR)
Since Week 9, with Tyler Shough under center, Juwan Johnson has been the TE8 in fantasy points per game with a 17.3% target share, 49.2 receiving yards per game, 1.94 yards per route run, and an 18.8% first-read share. In those five games, Johnson has had two red zone targets and one deep target. This week, he faces a Carolina pass defense that, since Week 8, has utilized single high at the seventh-highest rate (58.5%). Since Week 9, against single high, Johnson has had a 20.6% target share with 1.75 yards per route run and a 22.9% first-read share. Johnson could easily be a TE1 again this week. Carolina has allowed the sixth-most receiving yards per game and the tenth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Dalton Schultz Note

Since Week 3, Dalton Schultz has been the TE13 in fantasy points per game with an 18.2% target share, 47 receiving yards per game, 1.53 yards per route run, and a 19.2% first-read share. In those 11 games, he has had seven red zone targets, five deep targets, and only one touchdown. Schultz is a strong TE1 this week. The Cardinals have allowed the tenth-most receiving yards per game, the eighth-highest yards per target, and the eighth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
3 days ago
DJ Moore Note
DJ Moore photo 105. DJ Moore WR - CHI (vs . CLE)
D.J. Moore has been an utter disappointment this season as the WR46 in fantasy points per game, with only four games this season as a top 36 wide receiver in weekly scoring. Chicago has been trying to get him more involved over the last three games, as he has had five red zone targets. Moore has a 14.4% target share with 38.3 receiving yards per game, 1.28 yards per route run, and a 17.3% first-read share. This week, he faces a Cleveland secondary that has the highest single high rate in the NFL (66.6%). Against single high, Moore has a 13.9% target share with 1.22 yards per route run and a 16.8% first-read share. Moore is a middling flex play again this week. Since Week 10, Cleveland has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per target and the fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers, but it'll help that Denzel Ward is out this week.
1 day ago
Romeo Doubs Note
Romeo Doubs photo 106. Romeo Doubs WR - GB (at DEN)
Christian Watson or Romeo Doubs will see the Patrick Surtain shadow treatment this week. Surtain has shadowed five times this season, following A.J. Brown, Calvin Ridley, Quentin Johnston, Terry McLaurin, and Ja'Marr Chase on 64.3-94.7% of their routes. Only McLaurin scored a touchdown with Surtain in tow, but none of those receivers surpassed 61 receiving yards with Surtain following them. Since Week 10, Doubs has had a 15.1% target share with 20.2 receiving yards per game with 0.96 yards per route run, and a 16% first-read share. In those five games, he has had four red zone targets and two deep targets. Since Week 8, Denver has utilized two high at the ninth-highest rate (57.1%). Since Week 10, against two high, Doubs has had a team-leading 18.8% target share with 1.73 yards per route run and a 17.1% first-read share. I lean that out of the two players, Watson is more likely to get the Surtain treatment this week. If I'm right, Doubs should see a bump in work. Since Week 8, Denver has allowed the sixth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers while also holding them to the 14th-fewest PPR points per target.
3 days ago
Darius Slayton Note
Darius Slayton photo 107. Darius Slayton WR - NYG (vs . WAS)
Since Week 5, Darius Slayton has had a 13.9% target share with 45.3 receiving yards per game, 1.80 yards per route run, a 14.5-yard average depth of target, and a 17.5% first-read share, per Fantasy Points Data. In those six games, he has had one red-zone target, eight deep targets, and three top-36 finishes in weekly scoring (WR34, WR27, WR19). Slayton is a strong flex play this week against the Commanders. His downfield role should come in handy for Jaxson Dart. Washington has allowed the third-highest completion rate and the second-highest passer rating on deep passes. Since Week 10, Washington has also allowed the fifth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
3 days ago
Kayshon Boutte Note
Kayshon Boutte photo 108. Kayshon Boutte WR - NE (vs . BUF)
Kayshon Boutte has been a weekly flex option with a high ceiling, with five top 24 weekly finishes this season. That has been because of his downfield role and touchdown scoring prowess. Boutte has ten deep targets and six touchdowns despite only seeing two red zone targets this season. Boutte is in play again this week as a volatile but high upside flex play. Since Week 9, Buffalo has allowed the ninth-highest deep completion rate and the eighth-most deep passing yards per game.

Kimani Vidal Note
Kimani Vidal photo 109. Kimani Vidal RB - LAC (at KC)
Last week, Kimani Vidal retained his lead back role with a 69% snap share, a 56.1% route share, and an 11.5% target share. He finished with 15 touches and 104 total yards. He only saw one red zone rushing attempt while Omarion Hampton had five. I expect Hampton's snap count to rise this week, so Vidal is a regulated to middling flex territory with a poor matchup. Since Week 10, Kansas City has allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game, the tenth-lowest explosive run rate, the third-lowest missed tackle rate, and the fewest yards after contact per attempt.
3 days ago
Keenan Allen Note
Keenan Allen photo 110. Keenan Allen WR - LAC (at KC)
Last week, Keenan Allen was third on the team with an 11.5% target share while ranking first on the team with a 23.1% first-read share. He turned that volume (three targets) into three receptions and 22 receiving yards. There's nothing pretty about this passing attack right now. This week, Allen likely fights Oronde Gadsden for the second spot in the target pecking order in a run-first offense. Since Week 11, Kansas City has had the third-highest two-high rate (62.2%). Since Week 6, against two high, Allen has ranked second on the team with a 17.8% target share with 1.83 yards per route run and a 20% first-read share. Allen is a low-end flex this week that needs a touchdown to pay off. Since Week 10, Kansas City has allowed the fourth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

Rashid Shaheed Note
Rashid Shaheed photo 112. Rashid Shaheed WR - SEA (vs . IND)
Rashid Shaheed is a dart throw flex with a good matchup. Since Week 10, Indy has utilized single high at the eighth-highest rate (60%). Since Week 11, against single high, Shaheed has had only an 11.5% target share with 1.0 yards per route run and a 10.8% first-read share, but the matchup on the perimeter is nice for him. Since Week 10, Indy has allowed the fourth-most receiving yards per game and the third-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers. I wouldn't be surprised if Shaheed pops out of the woodwork with a solid game this week.

Colston Loveland Note
Colston Loveland photo 113. Colston Loveland TE - CHI (vs . CLE)
Since Week 10, Colston Loveland has been the TE15 in fantasy points per game with two TE1 weekly scoring outings. In those five games, he has had a 54.6% route share, a 13.8% target share, 40.2 receiving yards per game, 1.90 yards per route run, and a 14.1% first-read share. In that span, he has three red zone targets and zero deep targets. Loveland is best left on the bench this week. Cleveland has allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game and the 12th-fewest yards per target to tight ends this season.

Devaughn Vele Note
Devaughn Vele photo 114. Devaughn Vele WR - NO (vs . CAR)
Since Week 10, with Tyler Shough under center, Vele has had a 17.6% target share with 46.3 receiving yards per game, 1.35 yards per route run, and a 17.9% first-read share. In those four games, Vele has had two red zone targets and five deep targets. During that span, Vele has had one WR1 weekly finish (WR7) but sadly has been outside the top 45 wide receivers in weekly scoring in the other three games. This week, he faces a Carolina pass defense that, since Week 8, has utilized single high at the seventh-highest rate (58.5%). Since Week 10, against single high, Vele has had only a 15.1% target share with 0.89 yards per route run and an 11.1% first-read share. The market share and efficiency dips against single high drop Vele to low-end flex territory for Week 15. Since Week 10, Carolina has allowed the seventh-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

Chimere Dike Note
Chimere Dike photo 115. Chimere Dike WR - TEN (at SF)
Since Week 7, Chimere Dike has finished inside the top-36 in weekly scoring among wide receivers four times while seeing a 15.1% target share with 36.9 receiving yards per game, 1.31 yards per route run, and a 20.6% first-read share. In those seven games, he has had six red zone targets and five deep targets. Dike is a viable flex option this week. Since Week 10, the 49ers have allowed the second-most PPR points per target and the 14th-most receiving yards per game to slot receivers.

John Metchie III Note
John Metchie III photo 116. John Metchie III WR - NYJ (at JAC)
Last week, with Brady Cook under center, John Metchie had a 23.5% target share, a team-leading 29.6% first-read share, and two red zone targets. Sadly, he turned that volume into only four receptions and 34 receiving yards. I can't trust Metchie as a flex play this week with Cook slinging the rock despite the plus matchup. If you're out of other flex options this week in a deep league, I get it, but there's no way you can feel warm and cozy about playing him. Since Week 10, Jacksonville has allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game and the sixth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Dallas Goedert Note
Dallas Goedert photo 117. Dallas Goedert TE - PHI (vs . LV)
After last week's strong game, Dallas Goedert is the TE10 in fantasy points per game with an 18.1% target share, 40.1 receiving yards per game, 1.41 yards per route run, and a 19.8% first-read share. He has eight red zone targets and six deep targets. This isn't the week to auto plug Goedert into your lineups. The Raiders have been tough against tight ends, allowing the third-fewest receiving yards per game and the third-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Consider other options at tight end this week.

In those five games, Tucker has had three red zone targets and nine deep targets. Tucker is a flex option best left on the bench.

AJ Barner is a wonderful streaming option this week at tight end. Barner is the TE22 in fantasy points per game with four top-12 weekly finishes among tight ends. Barner has had a 13.1% target share with 29.7 receiving yards per game, 1.57 yards per route run, and an 11.7% first-read share. Barner has two deep targets while ranking second on the team in red zone targets (ten). Indy has allowed the third-most receiving yards per game and the eighth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Jalen Coker Note
Jalen Coker photo 123. Jalen Coker WR - CAR (at NO)
Jalen Coker is on the deep league flex radar again this week. Since Week 6, the Saints' secondary has had the third-highest single high rate (60.3%). Since Week 10, against single high, Coker has had an 18.2% target share with 2.52 yards per route run and a 28.2% first-read share. Those are strong numbers, no matter how you slice it. The worries for Coker are Bryce Young's uneven play and the improvement in the Saints' pass defense. Since Week 10, the Saints have held slot receivers to the sixth-fewest PPR points per target and the ninth-lowest passer rating when targeted.

Cooper Kupp Note
Cooper Kupp photo 124. Cooper Kupp WR - SEA (vs . IND)
Cooper Kupp is a flex option best left on the bench this week. Since Week 10, Indy has utilized single high at the eighth-highest rate (60%). Since Week 11, against single high, Kupp has had an 18% target share with 1.10 yards per route run and an 18.9% first read share. The market share against single high is encouraging, but the efficiency against the coverage type and the corner matchup isn't. Since Week 10, Indy has allowed the fifth-fewest PPR points per target and the second-lowest passer rating when targeted to slot receivers. Kenny Moore has been playing good football. Sit Kupp.

Darren Waller Note
Darren Waller photo 128. Darren Waller TE - MIA (at PIT)
Since his return to the lineup, Darren Waller has had a 60.8% route share, a 13.6% target share, 30 receiving yards per game, 1.94 yards per route run, and an 18.8% first-read share. All of those per-route metrics look solid to really damn good. The problem is that with Miami skewing so run-heavy, the market share of targets for Waller has amounted to only three targets per game. With the limited weekly raw volume now, Waller is a touchdown-or-bust streaming option. In his last two games, he has one red zone target and two deep targets. Waller is best left on the bench this week. Since Week 9, Pittsburgh has allowed the fifth-fewest yards per target, the 11th-fewest receiving yards per game, and the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Oronde Gadsden II Note
Oronde Gadsden II photo 129. Oronde Gadsden II TE - LAC (at KC)
Last week, in the Chargers' run-first offense, Gadsden had a 15.4% target share with a 7.7% first-read share. He turned his four targets into only one reception for seven yards. The lack of passing volume in this offense makes Gadsden a tough player to trust in any format. Since Week 11, Kansas City has had the third-highest two-high rate (62.2%). Since Week 6, against two high, Gadsden has ranked second on the team with a 17.8% target share with 2.08 yards per route run (leads the team) and a 20% first-read share. Gadsden is in the streaming/low-end TE1 area code this week, and that's probably a rosier outlook than he deserves, but the matchup is nice. Since Week 10, Kansas City has allowed the 13th-most receiving yards, the sixth-most yards per target, and the tenth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Elic Ayomanor Note
Elic Ayomanor photo 130. Elic Ayomanor WR - TEN (at SF)
Elic Ayomanor has finished as a top-36 wide receiver in weekly scoring since Week 3. He hasn't surpassed 15 receiving yards in a game since Week 9. It has been a tough season for Ayomanor after a promising start out of the gate. He has a 16.1% target share with 29.4 receiving yards per game, 1.01 yards per route run, and a 21.3% first-read share. He's second on the team with six red zone targets and leads the squad with ten deep targets. Ayomanor is a deep league desperation flex only. Since Week 10, the 49ers have allowed the tenth-most fantasy points per game and the 14th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

T.J. Hockenson has two TE1 weekly finishes this season, and neither happened with JJ McCarthy under center. With McCarthy chucking the rock, Hockenson's best weekly output was last week as the TE15 for the week. In his seven games with McCarthy under center, Hockenson has had a 13.7% target share (3.6 targets per game) with 16.6 receiving yards per game, 0.74 yards per route run, and a 13.2% first-read share. In those seven games, he has had only two red zone targets and zero deep targets. Hockenson is only a desperation streaming option this week. Dallas has allowed the 13th-most receiving yards and ranked 18th in fantasy points per game allowed to tight ends.

Josh Downs Note
Josh Downs photo 136. Josh Downs WR - IND (at SEA)
The Colts have been highly coverage-specific with their wide receiver usage, but they have a new quarterback and face a pass defense that has flipped back and forth between single and two high this year. I'm just going to look at the Colts' receiving options with a top-down perspective this week. Downs is the WR53 in fantasy points per game with four top 36 weekly wide receiver finishes this season. Downs has a 16.1% target share with 32.8 receiving yards per game, 1.55 yards per route run, and an 18.5% first-read share. He leads the team with 12 red zone targets while also seeing five deep targets. Riley Leonard could lean on Tyler Warren and Josh Downs heavily this week, considering the defensive matchups. Since Week 10, Seattle has allowed the 13th-most receiving yards and the 15th-most fantasy points per game to slot receivers.

Last week, Jack Bech finally got involved in the Raiders' offense with a 76.3% route share, a team-leading 18.8% target share, 50 receiving yards (led the team), 1.72 yards per route run, and a 23.5% first-read share. Bech had two red zone targets. He isn't a sexy flex option, but in deeper leagues, you could do a lot worse. Since Week 10, Philly has allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Bech could see heavy volume this week if the Raiders are in comeback mode for most of the game.

Parker Washington missed last week's game with a hip injury. He practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to a full session on Friday. He has been listed as questionable and could be back in uniform this week. In Weeks 11-12, with Jakobi Meyers playing a full-time role for Jacksonville, Washington finished as the WR66 and WR12 in weekly scoring, drawing a 17.3% target share with 45.5 receiving yards per game, 1.69 yards per route run, and a 21.6% first-read share. I expect Washington to move into a full-time slot role this week with Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers operating on the perimeter. In those two games, Washington had two red zone targets and zero deep targets. Washington is only a deep league flex play this week. Since Week 10, New York has held slot receivers to the third-fewest PPR points per target and the sixth-lowest passer rating when targeted.

Rome Odunze has been listed as questionable this week (foot) after practicing on a limited basis all week. He's dealing with a stress fracture in his foot. He didn't play last week. I have a hard time believing that he will be a full go this week with the foot still a serious issue. I also won't rule out that he will be out this week. Odunze is the WR29 in fantasy points per game, ranking first in deep targets and 21st in red zone targets among wide receivers. Odunze has a 21.9% target share with 55.1 receiving yards per game, 1.83 yards per route run, and a 26.2% first-read share. This week, he faces a Cleveland secondary that has the highest single high rate in the NFL (66.6%). Against single high, Odunze has led the team with a 22.5% target share while posting 1.79 yards per route run and a 24.8% first-read share. Since Week 10, Cleveland has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per target and the fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers, but it'll help that Denzel Ward is out this week. Odunze is just a flex play this week with the matchup and health concerns.

Emari Demercado practiced on a limited basis all week (ankle) and has been listed as questionable. I'm expecting Demercado to reclaim his role as the team's passing-down back this week. In Weeks 9-10, Demercado played 40.6% of the snaps with 11 touches and 91 total yards per game. He had a 30.8% route share and a 6.6% target share. Demercado is only a low-end flex play in deeper leagues with a horrible matchup. Houston has ranked 18th in yards per reception allowed to running backs while also holding the position to the 13th-fewest receiving yards per game. Since Week 10, Houston has allowed the tenth-fewest rushing yards per game, the lowest missed tackle rate, and the 13th-fewest yards after contact per attempt.
