Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 14 Rankings
|
1.
Christian McCaffrey
RB - SF (vs . SEA)
McCaffrey remains the RB1 in fantasy, ranking second in snap share, fourth in opportunity share, second in weighted opportunity, and first in red zone touches. In his last meeting with this defense, he finished with 24 touches and 139 total yards (two scores). McCaffrey should have no issues burning this run defense down again in Week 14. Since Week 8, Seattle has allowed the fifth-highest explosive run rate, the sixth-most missed tackles per attempt, and the highest yards after contact per attempt. Week 14 Positional Value: THE RB1

2.
Tyreek Hill
WR - MIA (vs . TEN)
Do you need any real analysis to start Hill? I didn't think so. He is THE WR1 in fantasy, ranking second in targets, first in target share, third in deep targets, and second in red zone targets. Week 14 Positional Value THE WR1

3.
Zack Moss
RB - IND (at CIN)
In his first game back in the starter's chair, Moss received the type of workload that we anticipated with 94% of the snaps played, 21 touches, and 57 total yards. The only problem is that he didn't do much with it. Moss should bounce back this week. Among 58 qualifying backs, Moss ranks 21st in missed tackles forced per attempt and 13th in yards after contact per attempt. The Bengals have had a putrid run defense this season. Since Week 8, they have allowed the ninth-highest explosive run rate, the seventh-most missed tackles per attempt, and the seventh-highest yards per carry to zone runs (Moss 79.4% zone). Cincinnati has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points this season via rushing. Week 14 Positional Value: RB1

4.
Alvin Kamara
RB - NO (vs . CAR)
Over the last two weeks, Kamara has played 58-64% of the snaps, averaging 19.5 touches and 114 total yards. Kamara is the RB4 in fantasy, ranking sixth in opportunity share, seventh in weighted opportunities, and 16th in red zone touches. Since Week 8, he has shown some life in his tackle-breaking, but it's still not pretty. Among 36 qualifying backs, he ranks 24th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 28th in yards after contact per attempt. Since Week 8, Carolina has allowed the third-most rushing touchdowns, the fourth-highest rate of missed tackles per attempt, and the 13th-highest explosive run rate. Kamara is a lock for 15-20 touches in a plus matchup. Week 14 Positional Value: RB1
|
|
5.
CeeDee Lamb
WR - DAL (vs . PHI)
Lamb has been untouchable since Week 6. Over his last seven games, he ranks third in target share (31.6%), 14th in air-yard share (40.5%), and fifth in first read share (37.6%). Since Week 6, he has had a whopping 12 red zone targets. All I can say is good luck to Darius Slay and James Bradberry. Week 14 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
6.
Bijan Robinson
RB - ATL (vs . TB)
Over the last three games, Robinson has played 63-75% of the snaps, averaging 21 touches and 102.7 total yards per game. In those three games, he has handled 80% of the backfield red zone opportunities. Robinson ranks sixth in missed tackles forced per attempt and 27th in yards after contact per attempt. His offensive line has improved some, but still, they remain an average run-blocking unit, ranking 17th in adjusted yards before contact per attempt since Week 9. This week could be the Bijan blow-up game. Since Week 8, Tampa Bay's run defense has fallen off a cliff with the seventh-lowest stuff rate, eighth-highest missed tackle per attempt rate, and the second-highest zone success rate allowed (Robinson 62.9% zone). Vita Vea is also banged up (toe) and has been listed as questionable, which also improves Robinson's outlook on the ground. Robinson should see 20-25 touches this week as a locked-in RB1. Week 14 Positional Value: RB1
|
|
7.
Josh Jacobs
RB - LV (vs . MIN)
Jacobs is the RB12 in fantasy, ranking fifth in snap share, second in opportunity share, and first in weighted opportunities. Since Week 9, he has averaged 23.6 touches and 100.3 total yards. Under his new head coach, he has finished as the RB3, RB21, RB37, and RB5 in weekly scoring. Jacobs remains the billboard king of volume because his efficiency metrics have remained in the toilet. Among 58 qualifying backs, he ranks 45th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 51st in yards after contact per attempt. Jacobs will need all the volume he can get this week against a strong Vikings run defense. Since Week 9, Minnesota has allowed the lowest explosive run rate, the second-lowest rushing touchdown rate, and the fifth-lowest rushing yards per game. Week 14 Positional Value: RB1/2
|
|
8.
De'Von Achane
RB - MIA (vs . TEN)
Achane returned last week to reclaim his spot as the lead back for Miami. He played 61% of the snaps, handling 20 touches and churning out 103 total yards. Among 58 qualifying backs, Achane ranks top-two in explosive run rate, missed tackles forced per attempt, and yards after contact per attempt. Achane should have no problems steamrolling a neutral matchup against the Titans. Since Week 8, Tennessee has allowed the 14th-highest explosive run rate and the 13th-highest yards after contact per attempt. Week 14 Positional Value: RB1/2
|
|
9.
Saquon Barkley
RB - NYG (vs . GB)
Barkley is the RB9 in fantasy points per game. He ranks third in snap share and opportunity share while also sitting eighth in weighted opportunities. Since Week 6, he has averaged 22.1 touches and 101.4 total yards. Barkley ranks 24th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 21st in yards after contact per attempt. Barkley should run wild this week. Since Week 7, the Packers have allowed the seventh-highest explosive run rate, the ninth-most missed tackles allowed per attempt, and the fifth-highest yards after contact per attempt. Week 14 Positional Value: RB1
|
|
10.
Austin Ekeler
RB - LAC (vs . DEN)
Ekeler is the RB15 in fantasy, ranking tenth in opportunity share, 21st in weighted opportunities, and 16th in red zone touches. Since Week 6, he has averaged 17.2 touches and 72.1 total yards. At this juncture, I don't know if we will see the 2022 version of Ekeler this season. He has looked a step slow all season. This could be due to the ankle sprain or volume adding up. Among 58 qualifying backs, he ranks 36th in explosive run rate and 52nd in missed tackles forced per attempt. At this point, the hope is that Denver will be the magic elixir to get Ekeler jump-started again. Since Week 8, Denver has allowed the sixth-highest explosive run rate and the tenth-highest missed tackles per attempt and yards after contact per attempt. Week 14 Positional Value: RB1/2
|
|
11.
Rachaad White
RB - TB (at ATL)
White is the RB10 in fantasy, with his pass game role and volume doing the heavy lifting for his fantasy value. White is sixth in snap share, ninth in opportunity share, and fourth in weighted opportunities. He has averaged 18.5 touches and 85.8 total yards. The last time he faced this defense, he finished with 19 touches and 99 total yards (65 receiving yards) as the RB12 for the week. Among 58 qualifying backs, he ranks 51st in missed tackles forced per attempt and 52nd in yards after contact per attempt. He continues to be below-average as a tackle breaker, but Tampa Bay doesn't have a back on this roster talented enough to take his job or eat into his workload. White should continue to chug along as an RB1 this week against an Atlanta run defense that, since Week 8, has the 12th-lowest stuff rate, the 12th-highest missed tackle rate per attempt, and the ninth-highest yards after contact per attempt allowed. Week 14 Positional Value: RB1
|
|
12.
Kyren Williams
RB - LAR (at BAL)
Since his return to the lineup, Williams has blown run defenses apart, averaging 23 touches and 158 total yards with weekly finishes as the RB1 and RB9. Williams ranks 16th in explosive run rate, 18th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 19th in yards after contact per attempt. Williams played 94% of the snaps last week. Williams is in a low-key SMASH SPOT this week. Baltimore, since Week 8, has been gashed by gap runs and has fielded an overrated run defense. Since Week 8, they have had the eighth-lowest stuff rate while allowing the fifth-highest missed tackles per attempt, the 12th-highest yards after contact per attempt, and the sixth-highest yards per carry to gap runs (5.02). 67.2% of Williams' runs have been on gap plays. Week 14 Positional Value: RB1
|
|
13.
Tony Pollard
RB - DAL (vs . PHI)
Since Week 8, Pollard has averaged 16.8 touches and 73.2 total yards. Over his last six games, his explosiveness has returned as he has ranked fourth in explosive run rate and 12th in yards after contact per attempt. Pollard was the RB26 in weekly scoring the last time he faced this defense, as he finished with 63 total yards and zero touchdowns. Philly has also dissolved into a neutral matchup for Pollard. Since Week 8, the Eagles have allowed the fourth-highest explosive run rate while ranking 20th in missed tackles allowed per attempt and 16th in yards after contact per attempt. Week 14 Positional Value: RB2
|
|
14.
A.J. Brown
WR - PHI (at DAL)
Brown is the WR5 in fantasy points per game ranking seventh in targets, sixth in target share, and fifth in air-yard share among wideouts. He is fourth in deep targets. In Week 9 against Dallas, he secured seven of his nine targets for 66 receiving yards and a score to finish as the WR7 for the week. Brown is a weekly must-start WR1 no matter the matchup. Week 14 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
15.
Joe Mixon
RB - CIN (vs . IND)
Mixon is the RB21 in fantasy points per game. He ranks first in opportunity share, fifth in weighted opportunities, and fourth in red zone touches. Over the last three weeks he has played 64-71% of the snaps averaging 18.6 touches and 92.3 total yards. Among 58 qualifying backs, Mixon ranks 25th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 40th in yards after contact per attempt. Mixon should post another stellar stat line this week against a swiss cheese Indy run defense. Since Week 8, Indy has had the second-lowest stuff rate while also allowing the 11th-highest yards after contact per attempt, the fourth-highest yards per carry to gap runs (5.24), and the highest success rate to gap runs. 55.6% of Mixon's runs have come on gap plays. Week 14 Positional Value: RB1/2
|
|
16.
David Montgomery
RB - DET (at CHI)
Montgomery has been the early down hammer since his Week 10 return, only seeing a 22.4% route run rate and 2.9% target share. He has averaged 15.1 touches and 85.1 total yards per game in that span. Montgomery continues to crush would-be tacklers in the open field, ranking fifth in missed tackles forced per attempt and eighth in yards after contact per attempt. This week's matchup is tough for any back playing that early down role in an offense. Since Week 8, Chicago has been a very good run defense, allowing the second-fewest rushing yards per game, the fourth-lowest rushing touchdown rate, and the tenth-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Montgomery needs to spike at least one touchdown this week to pay off in fantasy. Week 14 Positional Value: RB2
|
|
17.
Amon-Ra St. Brown
WR - DET (at CHI)
St. Brown is the WR4 in fantasy as he continues to truck along with a stellar season. He's 10th in red zone targets this season, with seven in his last four games. In his last meeting with this secondary, he secured eight of his 11 targets (four red zone targets) with 77 receiving yards as the WR7 for the week. St. Brown has a 27.9% target share, a 32.9% air-yard share, 2.75 YPRR, and a 34.6% first-read share. He will run about 55% of his routes against Kyler Gordon (73% catch rate and 88.6 passer rating). St. Brown remains a locked-in weekly WR1. Week 14 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
18.
Travis Etienne Jr.
RB - JAC (at CLE)
Etienne is the RB6 in fantasy, ranking fifth in opportunity share, third in weighted opportunities, and 20th in red zone touches. He has settled into a 61-66% snap share since Week 10, averaging 16.8 touches and 67 total yards. Etienne has hit a wall recently and hasn't rolled up 100 total yards since Week 8. He has only one 100-yard rushing day all season. Etienne's efficiency has recently taken a hit. Since Week 10, among 44 qualifying backs, he ranks 24th in explosive run rate and 39th in yards after contact per attempt. I would love to say he enjoys a resurgent game against Cleveland this week, but it's not a sure thing. Last week, he should have smashed the Bengals, but he only saw 11 carries and rolled up 45 rushing yards. Since Week 8, Cleveland has allowed the sixth-most rushing touchdowns, the 13th-highest missed tackles per attempt, and the fifth-highest yards after contact per attempt. Week 14 Positional Value: RB1/2
|
|
19.
Stefon Diggs
WR - BUF (at KC)
Diggs could get shadowed by L'Jarius Sneed this week, who has been shadowing top receivers all season. Since Week 11, he has continued to shadow, following Romeo Doubs, Davante Adams, and A.J. Brown on roughly 71-83% of their routes. Doubs and Adams both surpassed 65 receiving yards in Sneed's primary coverage, so this matchup isn't the coffin nail that it was earlier in the season. Also, Brown was held to only eight receiving yards in Sneed's shadow, so there's still the chance that Sneed shuts him down. Diggs is the WR6 in fantasy, ranking sixth in red zone targets. Since Week 8, with Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid integrated into the offense, Diggs has had a 23% target share, a 21.3% air-yard share, 1.53 YPRR, and a 29.7% first-read share. Since Week 9, Kansas City has utilized two-high at the highest rate in the NFL (74.3%). Over his last five games, against two-high, Diggs has had a 20.9% target share, 1.89 YPRR, and a 29.4% first-read share. Week 14 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
20.
Derrick Henry
RB - TEN (at MIA)
Henry avoided concussion protocol. He should be good to go this week. Henry is the RB11 in fantasy points per game, ranking 11th in opportunity share and third in carries. Over the last two weeks, the team has recommitted to feeding Henry volume as he has averaged 20.5 touches and 98 total yards. Henry keeps trucking along, ranking 10th in explosive run rate, 17th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 12th in yards after contact per attempt. Henry should be able to take advantage of a neutral matchup against the Dolphins. Since Week 8, Miami has ranked 16th in stuff rate, seventh in yards after contact per attempt, and 18th in explosive run rate allowed. Week 14 Positional Value: RB1/2
|
|
21.
Jahmyr Gibbs
RB - DET (at CHI)
The Detroit backfield is a fluid situation weekly. Since Montgomery's return in Week 10, he has played 45-71% of snaps weekly, averaging 13.8 touches and 83.6 total yards. Gibbs continues to break tackles at a rate among the best in the league, ranking ninth in missed tackles forced per attempt and 18th in yards after contact per attempt. With Montgomery back, Gibbs has retained his pass game role with a 59.9% route run rate and 15.3% target share. Detroit will have to move the ball through the air this week, which lends to Gibbs' skill set. Since Week 8, Chicago has been a very good run defense, allowing the second-fewest rushing yards per game, the fourth-lowest rushing touchdown rate, and the tenth-lowest yards after contact per attempt. The Bears, however, have allowed the third-most receptions per game and the second-highest yards per reception to backs. Week 14 Positional Value: RB1/2
|
|
22.
Javonte Williams
RB - DEN (at LAC)
Williams is the RB32 in fantasy points per game, ranking 23rd in opportunity share, 24th in weighted opportunity, and 14th in red zone touches. Williams is still searching for his first rushing touchdown of the season. Over the last two games, Williams has played 65-70% of the snaps, averaging 18.5 touches and 70.5 total yards. He ranks eighth in explosive run rate and 22nd in yards after contact per attempt. Williams should have no problems with finding running room this week against a Bolts' run defense that has taken a step back. Since Week 8, the Chargers have allowed the tenth-highest explosive run rate, the 12th-highest yards before contact per attempt, and the third-most yards after contact per attempt. Week 14 Positional Value: RB2 with RB1 upside
|
|
23.
Keenan Allen
WR - LAC (vs . DEN)
Allen is the WR2 in fantasy, ranking first in targets, second in target share, and 11th in red zone targets. Prior to last week's down game against the Patriots, he had rattled off three straight games with at least 14 targets, 10 receptions, and 106 receiving yards. Denver has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per target to opposing slot receivers. Allen is no stranger to overcoming tough matchups. Week 14 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
24.
Raheem Mostert
RB - MIA (vs . TEN)
Mostert's workload was cut back last week, with Achane resuming his lead-back duties. Mostert played 38% of the snaps with 12 touches and 51 total yards. Mostert ranks sixth in yards after contact per attempt and seventh in explosive run rate. He will spell Achane and factor in for 12-15 touches per game, so It's not like he drops to a total zero in fantasy. He will be a low-end RB2/RB3 though. That ranking will vary depending on if he gets into the end zone or not. Since Week 8, Tennessee has allowed the 14th-highest explosive run rate and the 13th-highest yards after contact per attempt. Week 14 Positional Value: RB2/3
|
|
25.
Mike Evans
WR - TB (at ATL)
Evans just continues to pile up monster games like vintage Tom Brady is chucking him the ball weekly. He has three games this season with at least 140 receiving yards. The last time he played against the Falcons, he secured six of his eight targets for 82 receiving yards and a score as the WR7 for the week. Evans is the WR7 in fantasy points per game, ranking second in deep targets and 11th in red zone targets. Evans has a 24.6% target share, a 43.4% air-yard share, 2.84 YPRR, and a 31.8% first-read share. The last time the Bucs played against the Falcons, A.J. Terrell followed Evans on 58.8% of his routes. Evans secured two of his three targets, with Terrell following for 56 receiving yards and a score. This is a matchup Evans can win again. Week 14 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
26.
Justin Jefferson
WR - MIN (at LV)
Justin Jefferson is back. He is practicing in full. He has a 26.0% target share, a 37.9% air-yard share, 2.99 YPRR, and a 35% first-read share this season. Here's the #analysis. Play him. Week 14 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
27.
Ja'Marr Chase
WR - CIN (vs . IND)
In Browning's two starts, Chase has had a 27.7% target share, a 47.5% air-yard share, 3.48 YPRR, and a 31.9% first-read share. Chase is the WR8 in fantasy points per game, ranking 21st in deep targets and third in red zone targets among wide receivers. With Browning playing well, Chase has returned to the WR1 conversation. Since Week 8, Indy has allowed the ninth-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
28.
Deebo Samuel
WR - SF (vs . SEA)
Samuel has been crushing since his Week 10 return, with at least 15.9 fantasy points in three of his last four games. He has now risen to the WR15 in fantasy points per game with the sixth-most total touchdowns among wide receivers. Since Week 9, Seattle has utilized zone coverage at the fourth-highest rate (82.2%). In the eight games that Aiyuk, Samuel, and George Kittle have been full-time players, Samuel has had a 20.5% target share, 2.74 YPRR, and a 22.3% first-read share against zone. Samuel has returned to the wide back role, but he has also chipped in at least three rushing attempts, 15 rushing yards, and a rushing score in three of his last four games. Week 14 Positional Value: WR1/2
|
|
29.
Ezekiel Elliott
RB - NE (at PIT)
Last week Elliott played 69% of the snaps finishing with 21 touches and 92 total yards. He will be New England's unquestioned bell cow this week. After Rhamondre Stevenson left due to injury, Elliott only came off the field for three snaps. Elliott's only appeal is volume because his tires are bald. Among 58 qualifying backs, Elliott ranks 54th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 50th in yards after contact per attempt. Pittsburgh has massively improved as a run defense as the season has moved along. Since Week 8, they have had the eighth-best stuff rate while also allowing the 12th-lowest rushing touchdown rate and the 10th-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Week 14 Positional Value: Volume-based RB2/3
|
|
30.
DJ Moore
WR - CHI (vs . DET)
Moore is the WR11 in fantasy points per game ranking ninth in deep targets. He dropped 22.6 fantasy points on Detroit in Week 11 to finish as the WR6 in fantasy. He can easily do it again this week. Since Week 8, Detroit has the ninth-highest rate of single-high (61.1%). Moore has a 25.4% target share, a 40.1% air-yard share, 2.88 YPRR, and a 37.2% first-read share against single-high. Among 149 qualifying wide receivers, Moore ranks 21st in fantasy points per route run against single-high. Moore will run about 80% of his routes against Cameron Sutton (61.3% catch rate and 103.6 passer rating) and Jerry Jacobs (66.7% catch rate and 103.4 passer rating). Since Week 8, Detroit has allowed the second-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
31.
Breece Hall
RB - NYJ (vs . HOU)
Since Week 6, Hall has been the RB13 in fantasy points per game, averaging 17 touches and 69.7 total yards. He is 13th in missed tackles forced per attempt and fifth in yards after contact per attempt. The bulk of his production has come through the passing game, with 5.1 receptions and 41.4 receiving yards per game. He has averaged only 28.3 rushing yards per game over his last seven contests. Since Week 6, he has surpassed 40 rushing yards in only one game. His offensive line has been the worst unit in the NFL. Since Week 6, the Jets have the lowest adjusted yards before contact per attempt. They have a full 0.21 yards before contact per attempt below the next closest offensive line (LAC). Hall is set for another long day at the office in Week 14. Since Week 8, Houston has the second-best stuff rate while also allowing the ninth-lowest yards after contact per attempt and the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game. Hall didn't practice on Wednesday and Thursday before returning to a limited session on Friday (ankle). He has been listed as questionable. Week 14 Positional Value: RB2
|
|
32.
James Cook
RB - BUF (at KC)
With Brady calling the shots, Cook has been thriving. Over his last two games, he has played 43-46% of the snaps, averaging 21 touches and 101 total yards as the RB10 and RB12 in weekly scoring. Since Week 11, Cook has garnered 50% of the backfield red zone opportunities. Among 58 qualifying backs, Cook ranks 27th in explosive run rate and 34th in yards after contact per attempt. Cook should have another field day against a Chiefs' run defense that, since Week 9, has allowed the sixth-highest explosive run rate and third-highest yards after contact per attempt while also logging the fourth-lowest stuff rate. Week 14 Positional Value: RB1
|
|
33.
Michael Pittman Jr.
WR - IND (at CIN)
In the five games that Pittman and Josh Downs have been full-time players with Minshew under center, Pittman has handled a 28.7% target share, a 32.5% air-yard share, and a 35% first-read share with 2.11 YPRR. Pittman is the WR12 in fantasy points per game, ranking third in red zone targets. He has garnered nine red zone looks over his last six games. Over their last four games, Cincinnati has the 11th-highest single-high rate (59.9%). In the last five games with Downs as a full-go, Pittman has a 35.1% target share, a 40.6% air-yard share, 2.76 YPRR, and a 42% first read share against single-high. Pittman will run about 71% of his routes against D.J. Turner (55.8% catch rate and 91.4 passer rating) and Chidobe Awuzie (67.6% catch rate and 108.2 passer rating). Pittman is set up for another high-volume game. He has at least 12 targets in five of his last seven games. Week 14 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
34.
Jaylen Waddle
WR - MIA (vs . TEN)
Waddle is the WR23 in fantasy points per game after he has strung together some strong games recently. Waddle has a 22.0% target share, a 29.5% air-yard share, 2.72 YPRR, and a 24.5% first-read share. Since Week 8, the Titans have allowed the fourth-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
35.
Brandon Aiyuk
WR - SF (vs . SEA)
Aiyuk is the WR14 in fantasy points per game. The last time he faced this secondary, he secured two of his four targets with 50 receiving yards and a score (WR30). Seattle's corners have played well all season, but recently, they have shown some flexibility with the 12th-most PPR points per target allowed to perimeter wide receivers since Week 8. Since Week 9, Seattle has utilized zone coverage at the fourth-highest rate (82.2%). In the eight games that Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, and George Kittle have been full-time players, Aiyuk has led the team with a 22.5% target share, a 42.7% air-yard share, 3.47 YPRR, and a 28.7% first-read share against zone. Don't be surprised if Aiyuk leads the 49ers in receiving this week with a big game. Week 14 Positional Value: WR1/2
|
|
36.
Jerome Ford
RB - CLE (vs . JAC)
Ford is the RB25 in fantasy points per game. He has played at least 64% of the snaps in three of the last five games, averaging 16.4 touches and 71.2 total yards. He ranks 13th in weighted opportunities. Ford has split the red zone work with Kareem Hunt since Week 9, with each back seeing nine opportunities inside the 20. Among 58 qualifying backs, Ford ranks 19th in missed tackles forced and 16th in yards after contact per attempt. He gets a surprisingly plus matchup this week against the Jaguars, who since Week 8, have allowed the second-highest explosive run rate, the highest missed tackles per attempt, and the fifth-highest yards per carry to gap runs (5.15). 53.9% of Ford's carries have been on gap plays. Week 14 Positional Value: RB2/3
|
|
37.
Davante Adams
WR - LV (vs . MIN)
With O'Connell tossing the rock since Week 9, Adams has handled a 29.1% target share, a 49.5% air-yard share, and a 34.8% first-read share with 2.24 YPRR. In those four games, Adams has finished as the WR45, WR21, WR8, and WR32 in weekly scoring while seeing three red zone targets. Overall, Adams is the WR20 in fantasy points per game, ranking fourth in deep targets and first in red zone targets among wide receivers. Adams should have a strong day in Week 14 against a secondary that, since Week 8, has allowed the 13th-most receiving yards per game and the seventh-most receiving touchdowns to perimeter wide receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
38.
Chris Olave
WR - NO (vs . CAR)
Olave is the WR19 in fantasy, ranking first in deep targets and 23rd in red zone targets among wide receivers. Olave has a 24.5% target share, a 41.2% air-yard share, 2.19 YPRR, and a 31.4% first-read share. Since Week 8, Carolina has utilized single high at the fifth-highest rate (64.2%). Against single-high, Olave has eaten with a 45.3% air-yard share, 3.06 YPRR, and a 34.9% first-read share. Since Week 8, Carolina has held perimeter wide receivers to the third-lowest PPR points per target. While that is absolutely concerning, Olave should see a heaping dose of volume to outkick efficiency concerns. Week 14 Positional Value: WR1/2

Alexander Mattison
RB - MIN (at LV)
Over the last two games, Mattison has continued to lead the Minnesota backfield with 56-65% of the snaps played, averaging 15.5 touches and 71.5 total yards. In that span, he has handled 71.4% of the backfield's red zone opportunities. Mattison ranks 10th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 36th in yards after contact per attempt. The Vikings should look to move the ball through the air this week, as the Raiders' run defense has improved over the last few weeks. Since Week 9, they have held backs to the lowest yards after contact per attempt, the sixth-lowest rushing touchdown rate, and the eighth-lowest explosive run rate. Week 14 Positional Value: RB3

40.
D'Andre Swift
RB - PHI (at DAL)
Swift is the RB19 in fantasy points per game. He ranks 14th in snap share, 13th in opportunity share, eighth in carries, and 12th in red zone touches. Since Week 2, he has averaged 18.3 touches and 89.8 total yards. Swift ranks 15th in explosive run rate and 39th in yards after contact per attempt. In his last matchup with this defense, he had 74 total yards and was the RB25 for the week. Dallas has been a tough draw for backs since Week 8, allowing the fifth-lowest explosive run rate while also ranking 19th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 21st in yards after contact per attempt. Week 14 Positional Value: RB2
|
|
41.
Chuba Hubbard
RB - CAR (at NO)
This is Hubbard's backfield. Last week, he played 65% of the snaps, which is his highest snap share since Week 9. He had 25 carries with 104 rushing yards (zero targets) while also seeing all of the red zone work for this backfield. Among 58 qualifying backs, Hubbard ranks 31st in missed tackles forced per attempt and 24th in yards after contact per attempt. He should see 20-plus opportunities against a Saints' run defense that has struggled over the last few weeks. Since Week 8, New Orleans has allowed the seventh-highest explosive run rate, the second-highest yards after contact per attempt, and the highest yards per carry to zone runs (Hubbard 58% zone). Don't be surprised if Hubbard is a strong RB2 this week. Week 14 Positional Value: RB2/3
|
|
42.
Gus Edwards
RB - BAL (vs . LAR)
Edwards has seen his snaps dwindle in his last three games as Mitchell has taken away more of the work weekly. In Week 12, he played only 27% of the snaps with nine touches and 37 total yards. Edwards has been reduced to a touchdown or bust flex play. Edwards has led the backfield with a 53.8% share since Week 10. Among 58 qualifying backs, he ranks 35th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 30th in yards after contact per attempt. Since Week 8, the Rams have allowed the second-lowest explosive run rate, the third-lowest rushing touchdown rate, and the second-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Week 14 Positional Value: Touchdown or bust RB3 / flex
|
|
43.
Travis Kelce
TE - KC (vs . BUF)
If you have Kelce, you are starting him weekly. No matter what. He remains the TE1 in fantasy, ranking second in targets, target share, and red zone targets. Since losing Matt Milano, Buffalo has allowed the 14th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends. Week 14 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
44.
AJ Dillon
RB - GB (at NYG)
Dillon is the RB40 in fantasy. He has been gifted a litany of plus matchups this season that he has done nothing against. Last week, against the run funnel that is the Chiefs, Dillon could only manage 9.7 fantasy points. Over the last two weeks, he has averaged 57% of the snaps played, 18 touches, and 84 total yards. Among 58 qualifying backs, he ranks 46th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 35th in yards after contact per attempt. In theory, he should destroy the Giants' run defense, but we shall see. Since Week 8, the Giants have allowed the 11th-highest missed tackles per attempt, the eighth-highest explosive run rate, and the fourth-highest yards after contact per attempt. Week 14 Positional Value: RB3
|
|
45.
DeVonta Smith
WR - PHI (at DAL)
Smith has been rocking along, raising his season-long numbers. He is now the WR16 in fantasy points per game while ranking 21st in deep targets. His biggest issue is touchdown equity, with only four red zone targets. He has only two red zone targets over his last seven games and four all season. With Goedert probably coming back this week, Smith falls back into the lower end of WR2 territory. Week 14 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
46.
DK Metcalf
WR - SEA (at SF)
After his monster performance against Dallas, Metcalf is now the WR18 in fantasy points per game. He ranks ninth in deep targets and sixth in red zone targets among wide receivers. Since Week 8, he has had a 24.1% target share, a 47.2% air-yard share, 2.41 YPRR, and a 32% first-read share. Over the last six games, he leads the team with nine end-zone targets. Since Week 12, the 49ers have utilized two-high at the seventh-highest rate (56%). Since Week 8 against two-high, Metcalf has seen his target share dip to 17.6%, his air-yard share fall to 37.2%, and his first-read share fall to 24.6%. This game sets up as a sneaky Tyler Lockett game. Week 14 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
47.
Jaylen Warren
RB - PIT (vs . NE)
Over the last two games, Warren has fallen back behind Harris in the running back rotation. He has averaged only 13 touches and 59.5 total yards. The only category that he has bested Harris in is targets. Harris has seen more rushing attempts, routes, and red zone opportunities. Warren remains one of the most explosive backs in the league with the ball in his hands. He ranks first in missed tackles forced per attempt and third in yards after contact per attempt behind only DeVon Achane and Jaleel McLaughlin. Warren will have tough sledding this week. Since Week 8, New England has the 11th-lowest rushing touchdown rate and the lowest yards after contact per attempt allowed while also proudly sporting the highest stuff rate. Warren is a middling flex play this week. Week 14 Positional Value: RB3
|
|
48.
Nico Collins
WR - HOU (at NYJ)
After last week's blow-up game, Collins has climbed to WR9 in fantasy points per game while ranking 23rd in red zone targets (eight red zone targets in his last five games). Last week, Collins had a 42.9% target share, a 56.9% air-yard share, 6.59 YPRR, and a 55% first-read share. Those are elite numbers, no matter how you slice them. Overall, Collins has a 22.3% target share, a 30.6% air-yard share, 3.20 YPRR, and a 29.4% first-read share. Since Week 8, New York has operated with the seventh-highest rate of two high (53.4%). Against two-high, Collins has had 2.40 YPRR and a 27.2% first-read share. Collins will have to roll up his sleeves again this week against a strong secondary. Since Week 8, the Jets have allowed the fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. With Tank Dell out, Collins should see an elite workload again this week, which can help him overcome the brutal matchup. Week 14 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
49.
Najee Harris
RB - PIT (vs . NE)
Harris remains the lead back in this offense. Over the last two weeks, Harris has more rushing attempts, routes run, and red zone opportunities (eight vs. four) than Jaylen Warren. Harris ranks 28th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 25th in yards after contact per attempt. Harris is a good bet for 15-17 touches, but don't expect him to do much with them this week. New England has been a run-stopping brick wall all season. Since Week 8, they have the 11th-lowest rushing touchdown rate and the lowest yards after contact per attempt allowed while also proudly sporting the highest stuff rate. Week 14 Positional Value: RB3
|
|
50.
Courtland Sutton
WR - DEN (at LAC)
Sutton is the WR24 in fantasy points per game, ranking sixth in red zone targets and third in total touchdowns among wide receivers. Sutton has had a 21.7% target share, a 42.8% air-yard share, 1.88 YPRR, and a 27.5% first-read share. He has a whopping 13 end-zone targets this season. Since Week 6, the Bolts rank 14th in PPR points per target and receiving yards per game allowed to perimeter wide receivers. Sutton should have another solid day. Week 14 Positional Value: WR2/3
|
|
51.
Rashee Rice
WR - KC (vs . BUF)
The Chiefs don't have the luxury of messing around anymore with these wide receiver committees. It's go time, and Rice has been leaned on the last two weeks. He has played 67-69% of snaps since Week 12 with a 65% route run rate, 28.4% target share, 3.42 YPRR, and a 34.1% first-read share. Since Week 9, Buffalo has utilized two-high at the fourth-highest rate (60%). Against two-high, Rice leads the team with a 28% target per route run rate and three end zone targets while also ranking second on the team with 2.27 YPRR. Mahomes will feed Rice again this week. Week 14 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
52.
Zay Flowers
WR - BAL (vs . LAR)
In the two games Flowers has played this season without Mark Andrews, he has handled a 31.5% target share, a 22.0% air-yard share, and a 53.3% first read share with 1.69 YPRR. Since Week 9, the Rams have had the 11th-highest rate of single-high (61.1%). Against single-high, Flowers has had a 25.7% target share, 2.02 YPRR, and a 28.1% first-read share. Flowers will run about 69% of his routes against Derion Kendrick (58% catch rate and 84.4 passer rating) and Akhello Witherspoon (45.5% catch rate and 69.0 passer rating). Week 14 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
53.
Sam LaPorta
TE - DET (at CHI)
Sammy Ballgame continues to reset rookie tight end expectations as the TE3 in fantasy points per game. Ballgame is currently on pace for 122 targets, 91 receptions, 962 receiving yards, and eight receiving touchdowns. Among 38 qualifying tight ends, he ranks sixth in target share (20.0%), fifth in YPRR (2.04), and eighth in first-read share (21.3%). He is 14th in deep targets and ninth in red zone targets among tight ends. Since Week 8, Chicago has operated with the sixth-highest rate of single-high (63.6%). Among 57 qualifying tight ends, he ranks fourth in target share (21.9%), first in YPRR (2.86), and first in fantasy points per route run (0.69) against single-high. Another week for Ballgame to crush. Week 14 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
54.
Puka Nacua
WR - LAR (at BAL)
In the last three games with Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp playing full-time roles, Nacua has led the way in the passing attack with a 27.3% target share, a 41.7% air-yard share, 3.67 YPRR, and a 30.9% first-read share. The Puka Juice remains strong. While he is dealing with a shoulder issue, the Rams have stated it will not impact his game-day availability or playing time. Fire him up as usual. Nacua is the WR10 in fantasy points per game, ranking 23rd in red zone targets. The Rams should look to feed the ground game this week, but when they do take to the air, it'll be all Nacua. Baltimore has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers since Week 8 (one receiving touchdown). Week 14 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
55.
DeAndre Hopkins
WR - TEN (at MIA)
Since Week 9, Hopkins has had a 26.3% target share, a 44.5% air-yard share, 1.99 YPRR, and a 32.8% first-read share, which has sadly only amounted to 54 receiving yards per game. Hopkins has finished as a WR3 or higher in three of his last five games while seeing only one red zone target. He has a brutal matchup this week running routes against Jalen Ramsey (36.4% catch rate and 7.4 passer rating) and Xavien Howard (67.95 catch rate and 90.8 passer rating). Since Week 8, Miami has allowed the sixth-lowest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR3/4
|
|
56.
Keaton Mitchell
RB - BAL (vs . LAR)
Mitchell has seen his snap share increase in four straight games. In Week 12, he played 46% of the snaps with 11 touches and 89 total yards. Mitchell is slowly taking over the backfield. The biggest problem Mitchell will continue to face is his red zone usage. Over his last two games, he has had only a 20% red zone opportunity share (two red zone touches). Edwards has led the backfield with a 53.8% share since Week 10. Mitchell's rushing metrics are the stuff of legend, with a 17.2% explosive run rate, a 55% missed tackles forced per attempt rate, and 7.52 yards after contact per attempt. With that said, this will be a tough week for Mitchell to produce big numbers on limited volume. Since Week 8, the Rams have allowed the second-lowest explosive run rate, the third-lowest rushing touchdown rate, and the second-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Week 14 Positional Value: RB3
|
|
57.
Garrett Wilson
WR - NYJ (vs . HOU)
Wilson has seen his fantasy stock wither as the Jets' quarterback play has gotten even worse, as crazy as that is to say. He has failed to surpass 10 fantasy points in two of his last three games. He is the WR28 in fantasy points per game, ranking ninth in deep targets and 11th in red zone looks. Wilson has a 27.8% target share, a 46.7% air-yard share, 1.67 YPRR, and a 38.9% first read share. He is the only playable Jets wide receiver option. Since Week 8, Houston has allowed the third-most PPR points per target and receiving touchdowns to perimeter wide receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR2/3
|
|
58.
George Kittle
TE - SF (vs . SEA)
Kittle is the TE5 in fantasy points per game while ranking first in deep targets and eighth in red zone targets among tight ends. Kittle has been quiet the last two weeks, with less than 11 fantasy points in each game. This would be a nice spot for him to erupt, but it isn't easy to forecast this week with so many other 49ers in advantageous spots. Since Week 9, Seattle has utilized zone coverage at the fourth-highest rate (82.2%). In the eight games that Aiyuk, Samuel, and George Kittle have been full-time players, Kittle has had a 17.9% target share, 2.10 YPRR, and an 18.1% first-read share against zone. Seattle has allowed the 10th-most receiving yards per game to tight ends, but they have also held the position to the fifth-fewest receiving touchdowns per game. I expect Kittle to take a backseat this week. Week 14 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
59.
Cooper Kupp
WR - LAR (at BAL)
Kupp has looked like a shell of his former self. In the last three games, he and Stafford have been full-time players, he has seen only a 19.2% target share, a 16% air-yard share (5.5 aDOT), and a 22.1% first-read share with 0.92 YPRR. In those three games, he saw zero designed targets which were his bread and butter when he was cooking the entire league. In those three games, Kupp has seen his slot usage increase (68% slot). Kupp will tangle with Arthur Maulet (68% catch rate and 76.1 passer rating) all day. Week 14 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
60.
T.J. Hockenson
TE - MIN (at LV)
In Weeks 1-5 with Jefferson in the lineup, Hockenson was the TE4 in fantasy, commanding a 19.1% target share and a 22.4% first-read share with 1.54 YPRR. In those four games, he had six red zone looks. The Raiders have allowed the second-highest catch rate and the 13th-most receiving yards per game to tight ends. Week 14 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
61.
Brandin Cooks
WR - DAL (vs . PHI)
Since Week 6, Cooks has had a 12.4% target share, a 16.8% air-yard share, 1.87 YPRR, and a 12.7% first-read share. Cooks has finished as a WR3 or higher in five of his last seven games. He probably makes that six of his last eight games this week. Since Week 8, Philly has allowed the eighth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
62.
Taysom Hill
TE - NO (vs . CAR)
Hill didn't practice on Wednesday. He is dealing with a foot and a hand issue. I'll update his status on Friday.
|
|
63.
Gabe Davis
WR - BUF (at KC)
Davis is the WR41 in fantasy, ranking 13th in deep targets and 19th in red zone targets. If Allen is looking to attack deep, Davis should be part of the equation. He leads the team with 17 deep targets (Diggs 14). Since Week 8 with Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid integrated into the offense. Davis has seen a 17.1% target share, a 31.8% air-yard share (team-leading), and a 22.0% first read share with 1.39 YPRR. Since Week 9, Kansas City has utilized two-high at the highest rate in the NFL (74.3%). Over his last five games, against two-high, Davis has a 15.1% target share, a 32.9% air-yard share, and a 19.6% first-read share. Since Week 8, he has led the team with three deep targets against two-high. If Sneed is covering Diggs all day, Davis will see Joshua Williams (66.7% catch rate and 119.2 passer rating) and Jaylen Watson (60% catch rate and 117.5 passer rating) all day. Davis is primed for a monster day. Week 14 Positional Value: WR3 with WR2 upside
|
|
64.
Jayden Reed
WR - GB (at NYG)
Reed has risen to the WR37 in fantasy points per game. He ranks 24th in deep targets and 16th in red zone targets. He has finished as a WR3 or better in 58.3% of his games this season. Since Week 8, the Giants have utilized single-high at the tenth-highest rate (60.6%). Since Week 5, against single-high, Reed has a 14.8% target share, a 14.3% air-yard share, 1.82 YPRR, and an 18.2% first-read share. New York ranks 15th in receiving yards allowed to slot receivers since Week 6. Week 14 Positional Value: Middling flex play
|
|
65.
Drake London
WR - ATL (vs . TB)
I can't wait until London has at least league-average quarterback play, tossing him the rock. It will be beautiful. The talent is there, and we see flashes of it when he gets catchable targets and the Falcons are forced to pass. Since Week 2, London has had a 22.3% target share, a 30.1% air-yard share, 1.93 YPRR, and a 28.3% first-read share. Unfortunately for London, he has seen only three red zone targets over his last six games, all of which came in Week 7, which was also the last time that he faced Tampa Bay. Since Week 8, the Bucs have utilized single-high at the eighth-highest rate (61.1%). Since Week 2, against single-high, London leads the team with a 22.8% first-read share and a 26.4% air-yard share. London should have a strong outing this week against a secondary that, since Week 8, has allowed the 10th-most PPR points per target and the second-most receiving touchdowns to perimeter wide receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
66.
Calvin Ridley
WR - JAC (at CLE)
Ridley is the WR25 in fantasy. It has been a rollercoaster all season as he has four weeks as a WR1 but he has also finished outside the top 60 wide receivers in weekly scoring four times. After enduring a long red zone drought during the middle of the season, Ridley has bounced back with five red zone targets over his last four games. Overall he ranks 15th in deep targets and 23rd in red zone targets among wide receivers. Since Week 8, the Browns have utilized single-high as the highest rate in the NFL (67.7%). Against single-high, Ridley has a 23.7% target share, a 42.1% air-yard share, 2.20 YPRR, and a 27.6% first-read share. Ridley carries a high weekly ceiling, but the floor is also extremely low. This feels like more of a floor week than a ceiling outcome. Since Week 8, Cleveland has allowed the fourth-lowest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
67.
Adam Thielen
WR - CAR (at NO)
Thielen's season has gone in the toilet. Over his last five games, he has surpassed 45 receiving yards only once and had only one WR2 or higher finish (WR21). Since Week 9, he has had a 21.4% target share, a 26.0% air-yard share, 0.95 YPRR, and a 27.8% first-read share. It has been tough, as he has averaged only 33.3 receiving yards per game with 0.22 fantasy points per route run. It's tough to consider Thielen as anything more than an uninspiring flex play at this juncture. Thielen will run about 71% of his routes against Alontae Taylor (since Week 8: 65.4% catch rate and 101.3 passer rating). Since Week 8, New Orleans has ranked 14th in PPR points per target allowed to slot receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
68.
Tyler Lockett
WR - SEA (at SF)
This game screams Tyler Lockett week. He is finally not on the injury report. Lockett is the WR30 in fantasy points per game, ranking 19th in red zone targets. Lockett has surpassed 60 receiving yards in a game only once since Week 9. That trend halts this week. Since Week 12, the 49ers have utilized two-high at the seventh-highest rate (56%). Since Week 8 against two-high, Lockett has had a 22.0% target share, a team-leading 45.6% air-yard share, 1.92 YPRR, and a team-leading 29.5% first-read share. Lockett should turn back the clock this week. Week 14 Positional Value: WR2/3
|
|
69.
Dameon Pierce
RB - HOU (at NYJ)
Last week, Pierce reclaimed the early down role for Houston with 38% of the snaps played, 15 carries (zero targets), and 41 rushing yards. Pierce handled four of the five backfield opportunities inside the red zone. Among 58 qualifying backs, Pierce ranks eighth in missed tackles forced per attempt and 41st in yards after contact per attempt. After some lag, the Jets have picked their run defense standards back up. Since Week 8, they have had the 10th-highest stuff rate while ranking 17th in yards after contact per attempt and allowing the sixth-lowest stuff rate. Pierce is a decent flex play this week. Week 14 Positional Value: Flex play
|
|
70.
Roschon Johnson
RB - CHI (vs . DET)
The last time we saw this backfield in action, Johnson was the clear leader, playing 74% of the snaps with 15 touches and 75 total yards. Will that repeat in Week 14? I have no clue. Johnson's heavy involvement against the Vikings could easily be the fallout of the Bears trying to help Fields against the blitz. Minnesota has led the NFL in blitz rate for most of the season, so running out your best pass-protecting back for a ton of snaps makes sense. Johnson allowed a sack against Minnesota, which is the only sack allowed all season. Among 58 qualifying backs, Johnson ranks 32nd in missed tackles forced per attempt and 33rd in yards after contact per attempt. Johnson will have a tough day on the ground against a Lions' run defense that, since Week 8, has allowed the ninth-lowest missed tackles per attempt, the third-lowest yards after contact per attempt, and ranks 15th in yards per carry allowed to zone runs (Johnson 59.3% zone). I will not be surprised if Johnson plays a bell-cow role this week, but I also would not be shocked if this becomes a three-way committee and no one from this backfield is playable. Week 14 Positional Value: RB3 / Worrisome flex play
|
|
71.
Jake Ferguson
TE - DAL (vs . PHI)
Ferguson is the TE7 in fantasy, ranking sixth in deep target and first in red zone targets. He has seen a 15.5% target share with the 10th-most targets among tight ends. Philly has allowed the 11th-most fantasy points per game and the third-most receiving touchdowns per game (tied) to tight ends. Week 14 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
72.
Josh Downs
WR - IND (at CIN)
Downs has had some encouraging moments this season, with five weeks as a WR3 or higher. Across his last five games as a full-time player, Downs has had a 19.8% target share, 1.69 YPRR, and a 22.4% first-read share. Over their last four games, Cincinnati has the 11th-highest single-high rate (59.9%). In his last five games in his usual role with Minshew under center, Downs has had a 15.8% target share, 1.16 YPRR, and a 17.3% first-read share against single-high. Pittman has been the clear leader against single-high. Downs will run about 81% of his routes against Mike Hilton (69.6% catch rates and 82.3 passer rating). He should have a productive week against a secondary that, since Week 8, has allowed the second-most PPR points per target to slot receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR3/4
|
|
73.
Elijah Moore
WR - CLE (vs . JAC)
Last week, with Joe Flacco under center and Cooper banged up, Moore led the team with a 27.3% target share, a 50.3% air-yard share, 2.31 YPRR, and a 39.3% first-read share. Moore could see similar usage this week against the Jaguars if Cooper isn't able to suit up. In the three previous games, Moore had settled into a nice high-floor play with at least seven targets and 44 receiving yards in each game. Moore has five red zone targets over his last five games. Jacksonville ranks 15th in receiving yards allowed to slot receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR4 with upside

74.
Diontae Johnson
WR - PIT (vs . NE)
Since his Week 7 return, Johnson has had a 25.8% target share, a 43.5% air-yard share, 1.80 yards per route run (YPRR), and a 32% first-read share. Over the last seven games, he leads the team with five end-zone targets. Since Week 8, the Patriots have still led the NFL in man coverage rate (43.7%). Since Week 7, Johnson has led the team with a 28.6% target share, a 50.6% air-yard share, and a 31.4% first read share against man coverage. Johnson will run about 80% of his routes against Jonatahn Jones (60.5% catch rate and 93.8 passer rating) and J.C. Jackson (55.2% catch rate and 96.8 passer rating). Since Week 7, New England has allowed the seventh-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
75.
Devin Singletary
RB - HOU (at NYJ)
Prior to last week, Singletary had two baller performances and a solid game. Apparently, that wasn't enough for him to retain his bell cow workload, with Pierce getting healthier. Last week, Singletary's snap share dropped to 46% as he handled only nine touches, churning out 40 total yards. Singletary ranks 15th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 44th in yards after contact per attempt. In one week, he saw a massive dip in snaps, lost the early down workload lead, and had his red zone usage demolished. Singletary has fallen quickly to a low-end flex play. Since Week 8, the Jets have had the 10th-highest stuff rate while ranking 17th in yards after contact per attempt and allowing the sixth-lowest stuff rate. Week 14 Positional Value: Low-end flex play
|
|
76.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba
WR - SEA (at SF)
Smith-Njigba just quietly had his breakout game against Dallas with 11 targets, seven receptions, and 62 receiving yards. Add in the touchdown that was called back, and Smith-Njigba would have been cooking. Since Week 8, he has had a 16.4% target share, a 15.3% air-yard share, 1.75 YPRR, and a 20.4% first-read share. Since Week 12, the 49ers have utilized two-high at the seventh-highest rate (56%). Since Week 8 against two-high, Smith-Njigba has had a 16.5% target share, 1.41 YPRR, and an 18% first-read share. Chef Geno will lean on Lockett this week. Since Week 9, the 49ers have allowed the tenth-fewest PPR points per target to slot receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR3/4

Tee Higgins
WR - CIN (vs . IND)
Last week was Higgins' first game with Browning under center. He played 78% of the snaps with a 64.3% route run rate, a 7.7% target share, a 24.8% air-yard share, and an 11.1% first read share. Higgins was the distant third option in the passing offense last week. With the matchup looking soft this week, Higgins is worth flex consideration, but he's not the locked-in WR2 option that we have come to know and love over the last few seasons. Since Week 8, Indy has allowed the ninth-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR4

78.
Dalton Kincaid
TE - BUF (at KC)
Since Week 7, Kincaid has handled a 19.7% target share and a 21.8% first-read share, producing 1.90 YPRR. Since Week 7, Kincaid has been the TE7 in fantasy with four red zone targets. Since Week 9, Kansas City has utilized two-high at the highest rate in the NFL (74.3%). Since Week 7, Kincaid has had a 20.4% target share, 1.90 YPRR, and a 23.7% first-read share against two-high. This doesn't project as a huge Kincaid game. Kansas City has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game and the fifth-fewest receiving yards per game to tight ends. Dawson Knox could be activated for this week's game. With how well Kincaid has played without Knox in the lineup, it's hard to see the team moving back to a two-tight-end system where Knox limits Kincaid's usage, but we'll see. Week 14 Positional Value: TE1

79.
Jordan Addison
WR - MIN (at LV)
With Dobbs under center, Addison has had a 22.4% target share, a 42.1% air-yard share, 1.94 YPRR, and a 27.4% first-read share. All of those numbers will decline with a healthy Justin Jefferson back in the huddle. The question is, by how much? Even with Jefferson out of the lineup, Addison has been volatile, finishing as WR29, WR33, WR48, and WR40 over his last four games. Addison should level out as a weekly WR3/4, with Jefferson providing a boost to Dobbs' efficiency and the overall efficiency of this passing attack. Since Week 8, the Raiders have allowed the seventh-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR3/4
|
|
80.
George Pickens
WR - PIT (vs . NE)
Since Johnson's return in Week 7, Pickens has taken a step back with an 18.2% target share, a 35.9% air-yard share, 1.72 YPRR, and a 22.0% first-read share. Pickens could lead the team in receiving output this week, though. While his numbers have sagged with Johnson back in the lineup overall, his usage against man coverage has remained strong. Over the last seven games against man, Pickens has had a 26.2% target share, a 45.0% air-yard share, 3.53, and a 28.6% first-read share. Pickens will run about 85% of his routes against Jonatahn Jones (60.5% catch rate and 93.8 passer rating) and J.C. Jackson (55.2% catch rate and 96.8 passer rating). Since Week 7, New England has allowed the seventh-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
81.
Jakobi Meyers
WR - LV (vs . MIN)
With O'Connell as the team's starter over the last four games, Meyers has seen his target share dwindle to 15%, his air-yard share fall to 18.3%, and his first-read share sits at 18.5%. Meyers has surpassed 50 receiving yards only once in this four-game sample. Since Week 8, Minnesota has allowed the 13th-most receiving yards per game and the seventh-most receiving touchdowns to perimeter wide receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR4
|
|
82.
Khalil Herbert
RB - CHI (vs . DET)
After seeing Herbert's usage in Week 12, there's no way anyone can feel comfy about tossing him into a fantasy lineup. Herbert saw his snap share drop to 21% with only eight touches and 38 total yards. This could be related to Minnesota's love of the blitz and Chicago's leaning on Johnson as a pass protector, but it also could be the backfield shifting in Johnson's direction. There's no way to know which is the truth. The reality is that with this uncertainty surrounding Herbert's workload and the matchup being terrible for him, Herbert is a sit. Since Week 8, Detroit has allowed the ninth-lowest missed tackles per attempt and the third-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Week 14 Positional Value: Sit
|
|
83.
Romeo Doubs
WR - GB (at NYG)
Doubs is the WR36 in fantasy ranking 11th in red zone targets. Since Week 8, the Giants have utilized single-high at the tenth-highest rate (60.6%). Since Week 5, against single-high, Doubs has only seen an 11.6% target share, 19.2% air-yard share, and a 13% first-read share with 0.62 YPRR against single-high. None of these metrics instill any hope for Doubs to blow it out this week. There are other matchup-streaming wide receivers with better setups this week that can outproduce Doubs. Week 14 Positional Value: Sit
|
|
84.
Tyjae Spears
RB - TEN (at MIA)
With Henry avoiding concussion protocol, Spears remains only a handcuff. He continues to be one of the most explosive runners in the NFL, but with Henry active, he'll only see his handful of touches while he soaks up empty calorie snaps. Week 14 Positional Value: Handcuff
|
|
85.
Chris Godwin
WR - TB (at ATL)
Godwin's disappointing 2023 season continues. He is the WR44 in fantasy points per game with zero double-digit fantasy point outings since Week 8. Godwin has only finished higher than WR26 in weekly fantasy scoring twice this season. Godwin has a 20.4% target share, a 24.4% air-yard share, 1.62 YPRR, and a 25.4% first-read share. The coaching staff continues to talk him up and vow to get him more involved and to "get him going," but in Week 14, that might just not happen this season. Godwin has only one red zone target over his last four games. Week 14 Positional Value: WR3/4
|
|
86.
Isaiah Likely
TE - BAL (vs . LAR)
In Week 12, as Baltimore's starting tight end, Likely had a 69.4% route run rate, a 15.6% target share, 1.60 yards per route run, and a 13.3% first-read share. All of those usage metrics are TE1-worthy. Likely has had an up-and-down history when called upon as Baltimore's starter, but he should piece together a solid stat line this week. Los Angeles has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game and the fifth-most receiving yards per game to tight ends. Week 14 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
87.
Jerry Jeudy
WR - DEN (at LAC)
Jeudy is the WR57 in fantasy and droppable. He has scored one touchdown all season and surpassed 60 receiving yards only once since Week 3. The hope that he will turn his season around is dead. Wilson has leaned heavily on Sutton all year long, and that doesn't seem to be changing. Steve Smith was right. Week 14 Positional Value: Droppable
|
|
88.
Odell Beckham Jr.
WR - BAL (vs . LAR)
Beckham Jr. has been walking a tightrope weekly. Since Week 10, he hasn't played more than 35% of the snaps in any game. In his last four games, he has had two touchdowns, and in another game, he snagged four balls for 116 receiving yards. Beckham Jr. isn't on the injury report this week, so we could see a snapshare spike for him. If that's the case, he could post a nice stat line this week. Since Week 9, the Rams have had the 11th-highest rate of single-high (61.1%). Against single-high, Beckham leads the team with a 24% target per route run rate, 2.71 YPRR, and four end zone targets. Beckham will run about 89% of his routes against Derion Kendrick (58% catch rate and 84.4 passer rating) and Akhello Witherspoon (45.5% catch rate and 69.0 passer rating). Week 14 Positional Value: WR4/5 with WR2/3 upside this week
|
|
89.
David Njoku
TE - CLE (vs . JAC)
Since Week 7, Njoku has seen a 22.4% target share and a 25.1% first-read share as he has rolled up 1.55 YPRR and six end zone targets. Last week broke Njoku's streak of six straight games as a weekly TE1 (TE10, TE6, TE12, TE7, TE4, TE8). Njoku ranks fifth among tight ends in red zone targets. He should bounce back nicely this week, regardless of who is throwing him the ball. Jacksonville has allowed the ninth-most receiving yards per game and the third-highest yards per reception to tight ends this season. Week 14 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
90.
Zach Charbonnet
RB - SEA (at SF)
Charbonnet opened the week with DNP (knee). This could be DeeJay Dallas's backfield in Week 14. I'll update his outlook on Friday.
|
|
91.
Ty Chandler
RB - MIN (at LV)
Chandler remains a handcuff only. Over the last two games, he has averaged only 32% of the snaps played, and Mattison has still owned the red zone work. In Week 12, Chandler played only 33% of the snaps with five touches and 11 total yards. The matchup is also not conducive to him producing healthy yardage totals on limited volume. Since Week 9, the Raiders have held backs to the lowest yards after contact per attempt, the sixth-lowest rushing touchdown rate, and the eighth-lowest explosive run rate. Week 14 Positional Value: Handcuff
|
|
92.
Cole Kmet
TE - CHI (vs . DET)
Kmet is the TE6 in fantasy, ranking seventh in red zone targets. Among 38 qualifying tight ends, Kmet ranks 11th in target share (17.8%), ninth in YPRR (1.67), and 13th in first-read share (18.0%). Since Week 8, Detroit has had the ninth-highest rate of single-high (61.1%). Against single-high, Kmet has seen his target share drop to 16.6%, his YPRR falls to 1.42, and his first-read share drop to 15.9%. He does rank third in receiving touchdowns against single-high, which has fueled his 0.46 fantasy points per route run against single-high (sixth-best among 57 qualifying tight ends). Detroit has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points per game and the third-most receiving touchdowns per game (tied) to tight ends. Week 14 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
93.
Evan Engram
TE - JAC (at CLE)
Engram is the TE8 in fantasy, coming off easily his best game of the season. Last week, Engram handled a 23.1% target share, finishing with nine receptions, 82 receiving yards, and his first score of the season. He also had a 27.6% first-read share with Kirk out. Overall, he has garnered a 21.3% target share and a 23.6% first-read share and produced 1.59 YPRR. Don't expect Engram to follow up last week's performance with a banner game. Cleveland has been a no-fly zone for tight ends all season, allowing the fewest fantasy points per game and receiving yards per game to the position. The Browns have allowed only three receiving touchdowns to tight ends all season, and two of those scores came from Mark Andrews in Week 4. I would consider sitting Engram this week, depending on your options at tight end. Week 14 Positional Value: Borderline TE1
|
|
94.
Noah Brown
WR - HOU (at NYJ)
Last week, while Brown only drew two targets, he did return to a full-time role with a 74.3% route run rate while playing 69.2% of his snaps on the perimeter. With the unfortunate season-ending injury to Tank Dell, Brown should be Nico Collins' running mate for the rest of the season. In Weeks 8-10, Brown had a 17.1% target share, a 23.4% air-yard share, 4.55 yards per route run, and a 16.7% first-read share, as he averaged 127.3 receiving yards per game over that stretch. Brown is a viable flex this week, but temper your expectations considering the matchup. Since Week 8, the Jets have allowed the fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR4
|
|
95.
Jonathan Mingo
WR - CAR (at NO)
Since Week 9, Mingo has had an 18.5% target share, a 30.3% air-yard share, 0.87 YPRR, and a 26.9% first-read share. Mingo is the WR71 in fantasy points per game, with only two WR3 or higher finishes this season. Mingo will run about 68% of his routes on the perimeter against Paulson Adebo (58.5% catch rate and 52.6 passer rating) and Isaac Yiadom (57.9% catch rate and 86.3 passer rating). Week 14 Positional Value: WR5
|
|
96.
Khalil Shakir
WR - BUF (at KC)
Since Week 8, Shakir has had an 11.2% target share, 2.29 YPRR, and a 6.8% first read share. Over the same timeframe, Shakir has ranked second on the team in deep targets, behind only Davis. Since Week 9, Kansas City has utilized two-high at the highest rate in the NFL (74.3%). Over his last five games, against two-high, Shakir has seen a 14% target share and a 16.8% air-yard share with a team-best 2.88 YPRR. Shakir will run about 76% of his routes against Trent McDuffie (70.9% catch rate and 104.1 passer rating). Shakir is a flex play that could crush all expectations this week. Since Week 8, Kansas City has allowed the third-most PPR points per target to slot receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: Flex play with WR3 upside
|
|
97.
Kyle Pitts
TE - ATL (vs . TB)
Pitts is the TE17 in fantasy this season, which is so incredibly sad. His talent is being wasted, but there's nothing we can do to change it. He has surpassed 56 receiving yards only once this season and has seen more than seven targets in a game only three times. Since Week 8, the Bucs have utilized single-high at the eighth-highest rate (61.1%). Against single-high Pitts has a 17.9% target share, a 27.4% air-yard share, 1.75 YPRR, and a 22.2% first-read share. Pitts has the talent to pop off in any week, but good luck diagnosing when that will be. Tampa Bay has allowed the 11th-most fantasy points per game and the eighth-most receiving yards per game to tight ends. Week 14 Positional Value: TE2
|
|
98.
Kareem Hunt
RB - CLE (vs . JAC)
Since Week 9, Hunt has averaged 11.8 touches and 35.4 total yards. Hunt is the RB38 in fantasy points per game. He has split the red zone work down the middle with Ford since Week 9, with each back seeing nine opportunities inside the 20-yard line. Among 58 qualifying backs, Hunt ranks 53rd in missed tackles forced per attempt and 56th in yards after contact per attempt. Hunt is a touchdown or bust flex in a plus spot this week. Since Week 8, Jacksonville has allowed the second-highest explosive run rate, the highest missed tackles per attempt, and the fifth-highest yards per carry to gap runs (5.15). 62.4% of Hunt's carries have been on gap plays. Week 14 Positional Value: Touchdown or bust flex
|
|
99.
Tyler Allgeier
RB - ATL (vs . TB)
Allgeier remains only a handcuff as his role has diminished. He has not played more than 29% of the snaps over the last three weeks, averaging 9.3 touches and 42.6 total yards. Without a red zone role, he's unplayable in fantasy. Week 14 Positional Value: Handcuff
|
|
100.
Miles Sanders
RB - CAR (at NO)
Sanders is droppable at this point. He played only 32% of the snaps last week, with nine touches and 29 total yards. His tackle-breaking metrics have been basement-level all year. Carolina has made it clear Hubbard is the guy now. Week 14 Positional Value: Droppable
|
|
101.
Jameson Williams
WR - DET (at CHI)
Williams is a sit this week. He has not had more than three targets in any game since Week 7. He scored last week on the ground, but even that is flukey as that is his only rushing attempt this season. Since Week 8, Chicago has operated with the sixth-highest rate of single-high (63.6%). Since Week 7, against single-high, Williams has had a 10.7% target share, 1.21 YPRR, and an 11.6% first-read share. This looks like another game where Detroit leans on St. Brown and LaPorta. Week 14 Positional Value: Sit

Jalin Hyatt
WR - NYG (vs . GB)

Samaje Perine
RB - DEN (at LAC)
Perine is a handcuff only. He only played 12 snaps last week with three touches and six total yards. Across his last seven games, he has seen more than two carries only once. Week 14 Positional Value: Handcuff
|

104.
Alec Pierce
WR - IND (at CIN)

105.
Pat Freiermuth
TE - PIT (vs . NE)
Since his return to the fold, Freiermuth has had a 54% route run rate, an 18.2% target share, 2.89 YPRR, and an 18.2% first-read share. Most of those numbers are pumped up by his huge Week 12 performance. In the other two games since he came back, he hasn't seen more than five targets or finished with more than 30 receiving yards. New England has been tough against tight ends this season, allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game and only one touchdown this season. Week 14 Positional Value: TE2
|
|
106.
Zay Jones
WR - JAC (at CLE)
Jones has had only two games this season in which he was healthy enough to play more than 80% of the snaps (Weeks 1 & 13). In those games, he had a 21.1% target share, a 35.7% air-yard share, 2.08 YPRR, and a 25.9% first-read share. The Jaguars could lean more heavily on their wide receivers this week, with Evan Engram staring down a terrible matchup. Since Week 8, Cleveland has allowed the fourth-lowest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Week 14 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
107.
Justin Watson
WR - KC (vs . BUF)
|
|
108.
Tyler Boyd
WR - CIN (vs . IND)
Over the last two weeks with Browning, Boyd has had a 16.9% target share (4.2 aDOT) with 1.3 YPRR and a 17.0% first-read share. He has averaged 30 receiving yards with zero end-zone targets since Week 12. Indy has been tough against slot receivers, allowing the third-fewest PPR points per target. Boyd will run about 86% of his routes against Kenny Moore (75.8% catch rate and 71.6 passer rating). Kenny Moore hasn't allowed a receiving touchdown in his coverage this season. There's no reason that I feel compelled to get Boyd in any lineups this week. Sit him. Week 14 Positional Value: Sit
|
|
109.
Gerald Everett
TE - LAC (vs . DEN)
Everett has played 64% of the snaps in each of his last two games, which are his highest snap share marks since Week 6. Over the last two games, Everett has had an 11.1% target share with 1.78 YPRR. This week, Everett could be knocking on the door of TE1 production. Denver has allowed the second-most fantasy points per game and receiving yards per game to tight ends. Week 14 Positional Value: Borderline TE1

Quentin Johnston
WR - LAC (vs . DEN)
Josh Palmer has returned to practice. We'll see if he can gain clearance to play this week. If he does, it does not hurt Johnston's value because he has done very little with Palmer out of the picture. Last week, Johnston had a season-high in targets with seven, and he only turned it into 52 receiving yards, which sadly was also a season-high. Week 14 Positional Value: Droppable
|
|
116.
Dallas Goedert
TE - PHI (at DAL)
Goedert practiced in full all week. He has not been listed with an injury designation. He should be a full go this week. In Weeks 1-8, among 44 qualifying tight ends, Goedert ranked 10th in target share (17.0%), 20th in YPRR (1.38), sixth in first-read share (21.7%), and 20th in fantasy points per route run. Goedert could see an uptick in usage this week, with Hurts looking to avoid Dallas's tough outside corners. Dallas has allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points per game and receiving yards per game to tight ends. Week 14 Positional Value: TE1

Cade Otton
TE - TB (at ATL)
Otton has commanded a 12.2% target share and a 12.1% first-read share with 0.95 YPRR. Yes, I know these aren't amazing numbers. Otton has been a weekly TE2 streaming option that can post TE1 numbers when the matchup is juicy. The last time he faced Atlanta, he secured five of his six targets with 43 receiving yards to finish as the TE12 for the week. Otton has seen his red zone role explode in the last four games with seven red zone targets. Atlanta has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game and the third-most receiving yards per game to tight ends. Otton could post another TE1 stat line this week. Week 14 Positional Value: Borderline TE1

TE - GB (at NYG)
Over the last two weeks, Kraft has played at least 95% of the snaps with a 69.4% route run rate, an 11.8% target share, and a 12.5% first-read share. Kraft is just another TE2 to gloss over this week. New York has been stout against the position, allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per game and the seventh-fewest receiving yards per game.

Jonnu Smith
TE - ATL (vs . TB)
The last time these teams met, Smith secured all three of his targets for 27 receiving yards and zero touchdowns. Atlanta's usage of their receiving options will give you a headache if you stare at their metrics too long. Attempting to figure out what Arthur Smith will throw out there in any game is like trying to predict the weather from the inside of a cave while blindfolded. Smith has seen more than three targets once in his last six games. He's not a must-hold on your rosters or a strong streaming candidate anymore. Week 14 Positional Value: Droppable

Michael Mayer

Since Week 9, Mayer has had a 56.4% route run rate, an 11% target share, 1.37 YPRR, and a 14.1% first-read share. Since Week 7, he has finished as a TE1 only once. The Raiders have taken the air out of the ball in this run-first offense, which has crushed Mayer's fantasy value. He also has only two red zone looks over his last six games. Minnesota ranks 19th in fantasy points per game, and receiving yards per game allowed to tight ends. Week 14 Positional Value: TE2

Cooper remains in concussion protocol. I'll update his status on Saturday. He didn't practice until Friday and only managed a limited session, so I'm more skeptical that he will clear in time for the game this week.

Parker Washington
WR - JAC (at CLE)
Last week, with Christian Kirk's season cut short, Washington assumed a starting role. He had a 68.2% route run rate, a 15.4% target share, a 12.3% air-yard share, 1.97 YPRR, and a 10.3% first-read share. Washington finished with six receptions, 61 receiving yards, and a score. He could keep the gravy train rolling this week against Cleveland. The one area that Cleveland has been mere mortals at defending is slot receivers. The Browns rank 15th in PPR points per target and 12th in receiving touchdowns (tied) allowed to slot receivers (Washington 80% slot last week). Washington is in play in deep leagues as a flex with upside. Week 14 Positional Value: Deep league flex with upside

Tyler Higbee
TE - LAR (at BAL)
Higbee opened the week with a DNP (neck). I'll update his status on Friday, but even if he's active, he's a sit this week. Baltimore has allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game and the seventh-lowest receiving yards per game to tight ends this season.

Christian Watson
WR - GB (at NYG)
Just when he looked to be back, Watson tweaked a hamstring last week. We'll see if he can go this week, but I'm doubtful that he will play. I'll update his status on Saturday.
