Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 14 Rankings
|
1.
Saquon Barkley
RB - PHI (vs . CAR)
It is hard to come up with a rational argument against making Saquon Barkley the overall RB1 this week in all formats. Barkley enters Week 14 with 271.1 total fantasy points in Half-PPR scoring this season. Derrick Henry and Ja'Marr Chase are the only other non-quarterbacks with more than 206 fantasy points. Barkley has finished as a top-three weekly fantasy back in half of his 12 games this year. And this week, he gets arguably his best matchup of the season. The Eagles will host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon. Carolina ranks 31st in the NFL in DVOA and EPA versus the run and has allowed the most fantasy points to the position. This is an absolute smash spot for Barkley, who has his eyes set on the NFL's single-season rushing record.

2.
Chase Brown
RB - CIN (at DAL)
Even following Cincinnati's Week 13 bye, Chase Brown continued to be the team's bell-cow, with the recently acquired Khalil Herbert a mere afterthought. Brown played 50 snaps and had 15 touches, while Herbert saw the field just six times and earned one touch. The second-year back is the overall RB14 on the season, including an RB8 mark since the season-ending injury to Zack Moss. Brown should continue to reward fantasy managers this week when the Bengals face the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas has the worst EPA in the NFL against the run and has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to the position this year. Fire up Chase Brown as a high-end RB1 in all formats.

|
3.
Alvin Kamara
RB - NO (at NYG)
Alvin Kamara surpassed 100 scrimmage yards for the fourth time in five games last week. However, the Saints star running back failed to score for the sixth straight game. Kamara may get more chances to score going forward following the unfortunate season-ending injury to Taysom Hill. Hill had siphoned four touches inside the 10-yard line from Kamara in those six games, scoring twice. With Hill out of the picture, Kamara has elite upside against a New York Giants defense that has given up the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs.

|
4.
De'Von Achane
RB - MIA (vs . NYJ)
It does not seem to matter whether or not De'Von Achane racks up the rushing yards in a given week. He still manages to produce from a fantasy perspective. Over the last four weeks, Achane is averaging just 39 yards on the ground per game. Yet he has scored the seventh-most fantasy points among running backs in that span. Achane is one of Tua Tagovailoa's most trusted targets in the red zone. Since Tagovailoa's return six weeks ago, Achane has caught eight red-zone passes. No other Dolphin has more than five. His ability as a threat out of the backfield makes De'Von Achane an RB1, especially in leagues that reward receptions.

|
5.
Bijan Robinson
RB - ATL (at MIN)
Bijan Robinson touched the ball 32 times following Atlanta's bye last week. Robinson was not at his most efficient, but fantasy managers are certainly not complaining. Robinson totaled 135 yards, eclipsing the 100-yard mark for the sixth time in seven games. He also scored for the seventh time in those seven games. Robinson gets a difficult Week 14 draw versus the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota is the best run defense in several key metrics and has only given up six total touchdowns to opposing backs this year. But Robinson's role should enable him to maintain his status as an RB1 in all leagues.
|
|
6.
Josh Jacobs
RB - GB (at DET)
Jacobs is the RB9 in fantasy points per game, ranking 17th in snap share, eighth in weighted opportunities, and 11th in red zone touches. He has averaged 20.7 touches and 104 total yards per game. Among 57 qualifying backs, Jacobs ranks 12th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 13th in yards after contact per attempt. Jacobs will be running uphill all day against what remains a strong Detroit run defense. Since Week 8, Detroit has held backs to the eighth-fewest rushing yards per game, the 12th-highest stuff rate, and the 12th-fewest yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
7.
Kyren Williams
RB - LAR (vs . BUF)
Kyren Williams ran for a season-best 104 yards in the Rams victory in New Orleans last week. Williams has now scored in back-to-back games after going three games without a score. He has a matchup that is generally favorable this week, as Los Angeles hosts the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo has given up the third-most fantasy points to running backs this year. But much of that production has come via the pass, as the Bills have ceded five receiving touchdowns to the position. Williams has only earned one target across his last three games. That will likely have to change if he is to finish as an RB1 this week.
|
|
8.
Jahmyr Gibbs
RB - DET (vs . GB)
Jahmyr Gibbs was routinely getting to the second level of Chicago's defense early in Detroit's Thanksgiving Day win. But a second-quarter fumble near the goal line resulted in Gibbs taking a back seat to David Montgomery in the second half. Gibbs still ended up with over 100 scrimmage yards, but a season-low 11 touches without a touchdown limited his fantasy production. This week, Gibbs faces the Green Bay Packers. Green Bay has been in the middle of the pack versus the run this year, so this is not a matchup to avoid. As long as the workload is back to normal, Gibbs possesses a high fantasy ceiling.
|
|
9.
David Montgomery
RB - DET (vs . GB)
David Montgomery was questionable heading into last week's Thanksgiving game with a shoulder injury. Not only did Montgomery play, but he parlayed 24 touches into a season-high 124 scrimmage yards. He has now finished as a top-24 fantasy running back in all but one game thus far in 2024. Montgomery and teammate Jahmyr Gibbs get a neutral Week 14 matchup when the Lions host the Packers on Thursday night. Both backs have been able to thrive almost every week, so there is not much reason to expect that to change this week. Keep Montgomery locked in as a top-20 running back with RB1 upside.
|
|
10.
Ja'Marr Chase
WR - CIN (at DAL)
Ja'Marr Chase scored for the 13th time in 10 games when he found the end zone from four yards out in the second quarter of last week's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Chase continues to dominate regardless of matchup. Expect more of the same in Week 14 when Cincinnati faces the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas is a below-average defense across the board, so there is no reason to believe Chase to slow down this week.
|
|
11.
James Cook
RB - BUF (at LAR)
James Cook ran for a 65-yard TD en route to finishing as a top-12 fantasy back for the seventh time in 11 games this year. Cook now has 12 touchdowns in those 11 games. That touchdown upside will keep Cook in the RB1 conversation in Week 14 when the Bills face the Los Angeles Rams. Los Angeles has been relatively adept at limiting touchdowns from running backs. They have only allowed nine total touchdowns to enemy backs in 12 games. However, they are giving up over 150 scrimmage yards per game to the position. James Cook should be able to keep his place as a must-start in this matchup.
|
|
12.
Bucky Irving
RB - TB (vs . LV)
Last week, Irving went full legend mode with 28 touches and 185 total yards. He logged a touch or target on 65% of his snaps played. Irving has been balling out this season. The rookie has offered a huge spark to the Bucs offense. Since Week 7, he has averaged 16.7 touches and 103.1 total yards per game as the RB7 in fantasy points per game. Among 57 qualifying backs, Irving ranks eighth in explosive run rate, fourth in missed tackles forced per attempt, and third in yards after contact per attempt. This week, Irving will be tested against an improved Raiders run defense. Since Week 8, the Raiders have allowed the tenth-lowest explosive run rate, the third-fewest rushing yards per game, the third-lowest missed tackle rate, and the 12th-lowest yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
13.
Isaac Guerendo
RB - SF (vs . CHI)
With Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason out, Guerendo will take over as the 49ers' starting tailback. He's only had 42 carries in backup duty this season, but when he has gotten work, he's been pretty good. He has a 9.5% explosive run rate, a 21% missed tackle rate, and 2.33 yards after contact per attempt. I liked Guerendo as a prospect coming out, as he tested like a beast with 4.33 speed. He also flashed impressive efficiency numbers during this final collegiate season. Among all FBS rushers with at least 100 carries, he was 14th in yards after contact per attempt and 18th in breakaway percentage. He also flashed in the passing game, ranking tenth in yards per route run (minimum 20 targets). He should see 15-20 touches this week and crush an exposed Chicago run defense. Since Week 8, Chicago has allowed the third-most rushing yards per game, the sixth-highest explosive run rate, the second-highest yards per carry to zone runs, and the seventh-highest rushing success rate to zone runs (Guerendo 76.2% zone).
|
|
14.
Tony Pollard
RB - TEN (vs . JAC)
Last week, with Tyjae Spears returning, Tennessee remained committed to Pollard as their clear workhorse. He played 73% of the snaps, finishing with 12 touches and 68 total yards. Pollard has played well this year as the RB22 in fantasy points per game. He ranks ninth in carries, fifth in weighted opportunities, and sixth in opportunity share. Among 57 qualifying backs, he ranks 23rd in explosive run rates and seventh in yards after contact per attempt. Pollard should have another nice day this week. Since Week 8, Jacksonville has allowed the most rushing yards per game, the ninth-highest explosive run rate, the third-highest yards per carry to gap runs, and the eighth-highest success rate to gap runs (Pollard 58.9% gap).
|
|
15.
James Conner
RB - ARI (vs . SEA)
Conner is the RB17 in fantasy points per game, ranking 15th in snap share, 13th in weighted opportunities and red zone touches, and 17th in opportunity share. He has averaged 18 touches and 89.5 total yards. Among 57 qualifying backs, Conner ranks 18th in explosive run rate, first in missed tackle rate, and 14th in yards after contact per attempt. At first glance, this looks like a tough rushing matchup for Conner, but if Arizona stays committed to the run, Conner should have a nice day in Week 14. The last time he faced this defense, Arizona abandoned the run and only gave him seven carries. Since Week 8, Seattle has allowed the lowest explosive run rate and the 13th-fewest rushing yards per game, but in the same sample, they have also given up the 12th-highest yards per carry and the sixth-highest rushing success rate to gap runs (Conner 71% gap). This isn't a case of small sample variance either. Seattle has struggled against gap runs all season, logging the third-lowest stuff rate, the fourth-highest yards after contact per attempt, and the third-highest success rate allowed.
|
|
16.
Rico Dowdle
RB - DAL (vs . CIN)
Over the last two games, Dowdle has played at least 61% of the snaps while averaging 23.5 touches and 110.5 total yards as the RB10 in fantasy points per game. Since Week 9, among 42 qualifying backs, Dowdle has ranked 11th in explosive run rate and yards after contact per attempt. He should be the centerpiece of the Dallas offense this week (assuming they can keep this game competitive). Since Week 8, Cincy has allowed the 13th-highest explosive run rate, the tenth-highest yards after contact per attempt, and ranked 15th in zone rushing success rate (since Week 9, Dowdle 66.7% zone).
|
|
17.
Justin Jefferson
WR - MIN (vs . ATL)
Justin Jefferson continues to compile solid yardage totals. The Vikings wide receiver trails only Ja'Marr Chase in total receiving yards on the year. However, Jefferson has now gone six straight games without a touchdown. Perhaps this is just simple regression after he found the end zone in each of his first four games this season. Either way, fantasy managers will have to hope Minnesota can find a way to get Jefferson a touchdown on Sunday versus the Atlanta Falcons. There is optimism, as Atlanta has allowed 15 touchdowns to opposing wideouts this year. Only two teams in the league have given up more. Justin Jefferson should continue to be heavily involved in the game plan, which gives him a high floor as well as a high ceiling.
|
|
18.
Aaron Jones Sr.
RB - MIN (vs . ATL)
Last week, Jones saw his snaps cut some, with only 53% of the snaps having eight touches and 28 total yards. While the snap rate cut isn't new, as he played 52-53% of the snaps in Weeks 10-11, it's not something I'm overly concerned about moving forward. Jones is still clearly the best back on this roster. Jones is the RB20 in fantasy points per game, averaging 18.2 touches and 92.6 total yards per game. Among 57 qualifying backs, he ranks 32nd in explosive run rate and 18th in yards after contact per attempt. Jones does look like he's headed for another down week, though. Since Week 8, Atlanta has improved as a run defense, holding backs to the 11th-fewest rushing yards per game, the fourth-lowest missed tackle rate, and the 11th-lowest yards per carry to zone runs (Jones 56% zone).
|
|
19.
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
RB - NYG (vs . NO)
Last week, Tracy Jr. reclaimed his workhorse status in the Giants offense with 75% of the snaps, 81% of the passing down snaps, and 100% of the red zone snaps. He finished with 11 touches and 65 total yards. Since Week 5, Tracy Jr. has averaged 16.6 touches and 90.9 total yards. Tracy has been awesome on a per-touch basis this season. Among 57 qualifying backs, he ranks 11th in explosive run rate and 16th in yards after contact per attempt. New Orleans still can't stop anyone on the ground. If the Giants can keep the game somewhat close or stay committed to the run, Tracy Jr. should have a nice day. Since Week 8, New Orleans has allowed the 11th-highest rushing success rate, the 13th-highest missed tackle rate, and the eighth-highest yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
20.
A.J. Brown
WR - PHI (vs . CAR)
A.J. Brown continues to be phenomenal in terms of production on a per-target basis. The problem is that the targets have not always come in bunches. That is primarily because the Eagles have dialed back the passing game with Saquon Barkley running wild and Jalen Hurts rushing for double-digit touchdowns already this year. In eight games since Brown has returned to the lineup, Hurts has averaged just 21.5 pass attempts per game. Brown has earned a 30.2 percent target share on those looks, but he has not surpassed six receptions in any game this year. Brown should continue to be an effective and efficient WR1, even if the volume is not what we would all like it to be.
|
|
21.
Najee Harris
RB - PIT (vs . CLE)
Harris is the RB25 in fantasy points per game, ranking 28th in snap share, tenth in weighted opportunities, fifth in carries, and tenth in red zone touches. He has averaged 19.7 touches and 89.5 total yards. Among 57 qualifying backs, he ranks ninth in missed tackles forced per attempt and 27th in yards after contact per attempt. Harris should run wild this week. Cleveland's run defense has taken a step back. Since Week 8, they have allowed the second-highest explosive run rate, the tenth-most rushing yards per game, the fourth-highest missed tackle rate, and the third-highest yards per carry to zone runs (Harris 69.6% zone).
|
|
22.
Mike Evans
WR - TB (vs . LV)
Mike Evans has a steep hill to climb to post another 1,000-yard-plus season, after missing three games with a hamstring injury. But the veteran is Baker Mayfield's most trusted target, and their connection was on full display in Tampa Bay's overtime victory in Carolina last week. Evans caught eight passes for 118 yards and a touchdown. Evans is still dealing with some soreness in his leg, so make sure to monitor his status heading into Sunday. He gets a favorable matchup versus the Las Vegas Raiders. If Evans avoids a setback, he should be on the WR1 radar in Week 14.
|
|
23.
Puka Nacua
WR - LAR (vs . BUF)
Puka Nacua has been a top-20 fantasy wideout in every game this year in which he has played the entire game. Such was the case last week. The overall volume in the Rams' passing game was a bit lower than usual, but Nacua scored for the second time in three games. Los Angeles will host the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The matchup is tough, as Buffalo has given up the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. However, volume should not be an issue this time around, especially if Buffalo can jump out in front. Nacua is a solid WR1 in all formats this week.
|
|
24.
Amon-Ra St. Brown
WR - DET (vs . GB)
Incredibly enough, the two-game "streak" without scoring a touchdown is the longest of the season for Lions' wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. Detroit has dialed back the usage of their star wideout to a degree this season. St. Brown is averaging 7.7 targets per game this year, after posting a 10.3 average a year ago. That appears to be more of a byproduct of Detroit's overall dominance and surplus of offensive weapons than any negative trait that can be attributed to St. Brown. Keep rolling the Sun God out as a WR1, albeit one with a lower floor than some of his counterparts.
|
|
25.
Tee Higgins
WR - CIN (at DAL)
Tee Higgins has scored at least 11.2 fantasy points (Half-PPR scoring) in five straight games. Were it not for some nagging injuries and the incredible season of teammate Ja'Marr Chase, perhaps we would be discussing Tee Higgins in the overall WR1 conversation. Higgins trails only Chase and Nico Collins in fantasy points per game this year. With Collins among the many wide receivers off this week, Higgins is poised to continue producing at an elite level.
|
|
26.
George Pickens
WR - PIT (vs . CLE)
Pickens is the WR33 in fantasy points per game, ranking third in deep targets and fifth in red zone targets among wide receivers. Pickens has a 25.1% target share, 2.54 YPRR, and a 34.4% first-read share. Since Week 6, Cleveland has moved back to more single high (54.1%). Against single-high, Pickens has gobbled up volume with a 32% target share, 3.40 YPRR, and a 42.1% first-read share. Since Week 8, the Browns have been vulnerable to perimeter wide receivers, allowing the ninth-most receiving yards per game and the seventh-most PPR points per target. Pickens popped up on the injury report on Friday with a hamstring issue and has been listed as questionable.
|
|
27.
D'Andre Swift
RB - CHI (at SF)
Swift didn't practice this week (quad) until logging a limited session on Friday. He has been listed as questionable, and his status for this week is up in the air. It's possible he could be out this week. If you have Swift, you should be rostering Travis Homer for this week. Since Week 11, he has played 55-69% of the snaps weekly while averaging 15 touches and 74.4 total yards. Among 57 qualifying backs, Swift ranks 36th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 38th in yards after contact per attempt. If he does play this week, he draws a wonderful matchup. Since Week 8, the 49ers' run defense has been leaky, allowing the 11th-most rushing yards per game, the second-highest missed tackle rate, and the 11th-highest yards before contact per attempt.
|
|
28.
Isiah Pacheco
RB - KC (vs . LAC)
Last week, Pacheco played 37% of the snaps and finished with eight touches and 49 total yards. He split the rushing play snaps evenly with Kareem Hunt (46.7%) while only seeing 25% of the red zone snaps. I expect him to get more work this week for the rushing snaps to tilt in his favor and for the red zone usage to also flip in his favor. Pacheco looked like a player returning from injury. Outside of his 14.3% explosive run rate, he didn't force a missed tackle and had only 1.86 yards after contact per attempt. He could be a low-end RB2 this week if he gets into the end zone with the rushing matchup he is staring at. Since Week 8, the Chargers' run defense has fallen apart as they have allowed the 12th-most rushing yards per game, the 11th-highest explosive run rate, and the second-highest yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
29.
Brock Bowers
TE - LV (at TB)
Brock Bowers obliterated the Kansas City Chiefs to the tune of a 10-140-1 line as the Raiders nearly pulled off a massive upset against the Super Bowl Champions. The rookie is on pace to set records and should continue to be the focal point of the offense for the foreseeable future. Las Vegas travels to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers in Week 14. Tampa Bay has given up the fourth-most yards and seventh-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this year. Brock Bowers should continue to post monster numbers in this matchup.
|
|
30.
Cooper Kupp
WR - LAR (vs . BUF)
Last week's game was a strange one for the Los Angeles Rams. They ran just three offensive plays in the first quarter, as New Orleans dominated time of possession. But the Saints failed to capitalize, turning long drives into field goal attempts. Los Angeles only had seven offensive drives in the entire game, excluding the kneeldowns at the end of the game. As a result, Cooper Kupp was the odd man out. He finished the day with just 17 receiving yards. Kupp's fortunes should turn around this week, even in a tough matchup versus the Buffalo Bills. The volume should be there, as the Rams will likely need to chase points to keep up with Buffalo. Expect Kupp to earn double-digit targets and get back to his usual levels of production in this game.
|
|
31.
CeeDee Lamb
WR - DAL (vs . CIN)
Lamb will play through his shoulder issue this week. He was limited in practice on Friday and Saturday and doesn't carry an injury designation into this game. With Cooper Rush starting, Lamb has had a 24.2% target share with 55 receiving yards per game (1.61 YPRR) and a 31.2% first-read share. During this four-game stretch, Lamb has four red zone targets and two WR14 weekly finishes (outside the top 36 wide receivers in weekly scoring in the other two games). Even with battling through the injury and Rush's quarterback play, Lamb should have a good game this week. Since Week 8, Cincy has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game and the fifth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
32.
Tyreek Hill
WR - MIA (vs . NYJ)
Since Week 8, Hill has surpassed 14 PPR fantasy points only twice while seeing eight red zone targets (three scores). Across his last six games, he has had an 18.5% target share, 1.96 YPRR, and a 21.1% first-read share while averaging 14.4 PPR points per game. The Jets have the seventh-highest single-high rate (56.6%). Since Week 8, against single high, Hill has seen his target share increase to 24.7% with 2.99 YPRR and a 27.3% first-read share. Hill will have a tough matchup this week despite the coverage shell being in his favor. Since Week 8, New York has allowed the seventh-fewest PPR points per target and the 11th-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
33.
Drake London
WR - ATL (at MIN)
Drake London was last week's "volume is king" poster child. Kirk Cousins targeted London 16 times in a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Cousins was highly inefficient, and London could muster only 86 scoreless yards on those targets. London gets another difficult matchup in Week 14 when the Falcons face the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota plays zone coverage at a high rate, and London has a 25.1 percent target share versus zone. He may not get another 16 targets, but he should continue to be heavily featured, making him a volume-based WR1.
|
|
34.
Calvin Ridley
WR - TEN (vs . JAC)
Ridley is the WR41 in fantasy points per game with five WR3 or higher outings this season. Four of those performances have occurred since Week 8. He is third in deep targets among wide receivers and has seen two red zone targets in his last four games. Since Levis has returned, he has had a 23.3% target share, a 46.4% air-yard share, and a 28.9% first-read share with 2.24 YPRR. Over the last two games, Jacksonville has moved back to featuring single-high coverage at the sixth-highest rate (65.8%). This is fantastic news for Ridley. Since Week 10, against single-high, Ridley has seen his target share rise to 25.5% with 2.80 YPRR and a 29.7% first-read share. He should torch his former team this week. Since Week 8, Jacksonville has allowed the fourth-most receiving yards per game and the ninth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
35.
DK Metcalf
WR - SEA (at ARI)
Metcalf is the WR21 in fantasy points per game, ranking second in deep targets among wideouts. He has six red zone targets across his last five games played. Metcalf has a 22.5% target share, 2.14 YPRR, and a 28.8% first-read share. Since Week 10, Arizona has leaned heavily on two high coverage leading the NFL in usage (65.3%). Against two high, Metcalf has seen his target share fall to 18.8% with 2.25 YPRR and a 24.6% first-read share. These aren't horrible numbers by any stretch of the imagination, but the decrease in target share is notable. Since Week 8, Arizona has held perimeter wide receivers to the fifth-fewest receiving yards per game and the fewest PPR points per target. Metcalf didn't practice on Thursday (shoulder), but he returned to a full session on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into this week's game.
|
|
36.
Braelon Allen
RB - NYJ (at MIA)
Allen is expected to draw the start at running back this week, with Breece Hall listed as doubtful. Allen has only a 67-carry sample to work with this season, so take the efficiency numbers with a small grain of salt. Allen hasn't been impressive on a per-touch basis with this small sample, though. He has only a 1.5% explosive run rate, a 13% missed tackle rate, and 2.55 yards after contact per attempt. It's unknown how much Isaiah Davis will be involved this week, which adds some uncertainty to Allen's projection, but I still expect him to lead the backfield in touches and flirt with 15-20 opportunities this week. Since Week 8, the Dolphins' run defense has fallen off considerably, allowing the tenth-highest explosive run rate, the third-highest missed tackle rate, and the fourth-highest yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
37.
Jayden Reed
WR - GB (at DET)
Ok, here we go. Trying to predict the Packers roulette wheel of wide receivers has been fun weekly. (it hasn't). Reed should lead the way this week despite the coverage matchup not being in his favor. Since Week 7, Detroit has utilized single high at the seventh-highest rate (57.8%). Against single-high, since Week 4, Reed ranks fourth on the team in target share (11.9%) and third in YPRR (2.11) and first-read share (16.8%). Detroit's struggles to defend the slot is what pushes Reed to the top of the Cheesehead pile this week. Detroit has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game and the second-most receiving yards per game to slot receivers this season.
|
|
38.
Nick Chubb
RB - CLE (at PIT)
Chubb saw his snaps drop back into the 30% range last week as he finished with 34% of the snaps played with 11 touches and 45 total yards. In four of his six games played this season, he has played 30-36% of the snaps. Overall, he has averaged 14.5 touches and 45.7 total yards per game. He has continued to look like a shell of his former self on a per-touch basis. Among 57 qualifying backs, he ranks 54th in explosive run rate, 50th in missed tackle rate, and 52nd in yards after contact per attempt. Since Week 8, Pittsburgh has ranked 19th in rushing yards per game allowed while also giving up the 11th-lowest missed tackle rate and yards after contact per attempt. Chubb needs to get into the end zone this week to pay off in fantasy.
|
|
39.
Jakobi Meyers
WR - LV (at TB)
Since Week 4, Meyers has been the WR18 in fantasy points per game, soaking up a 25.1% target share with 2.02 YPRR (74.9 receiving yards per game) and a 32.9% first-read share. I know everyone loves Brock Bowers. I get it, but Meyers deserves your admiration and respect, too. Across his last seven games, he has seven red zone targets (only one score). Meyers should crush again this week. Since Week 8, the Bucs have allowed the 11th-most receiving yards per game and the fifth-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
40.
Ladd McConkey
WR - LAC (at KC)
McConkey has been listed as questionable this week as he is dealing with knee and shoulder injuries. Since Week 8, McConkey has been the WR11 in fantasy points per game, drawing a 24.3% target share with 3.25 YPRR and a 31.2% first-read share. He has been awesome, with three 100-yard receiving performances. The only knock with his usage has been only two red zone targets. The Chiefs have the third-highest two high rate in the NFL (60.1%). Since Week 8, against two high (minimum 50 routes), McConkey has ranked second in TPRR (21%), third in YPRR (1.93), and tied for first with a 21.6% first-read share. If he's good to go, McConkey should have another standout game. Since Week 8, Kansas City has allowed the second-most fantasy points per game and the eighth-most PPR points per target to slot receivers.
|
|
41.
DJ Moore
WR - CHI (at SF)
Moore didn't practice this week until Friday (quad). He only managed a limited session on Friday. He has been listed as questionable, and his status is up in the air. Since Thomas Brown took over play-calling duties, Moore has finished as the WR29, WR4, and WR7 in weekly fantasy scoring. Since Week 11, Moore has had a 25.4% target share, 1.98 YPRR, and a 28.6% first-read share. Across the last three games, he has seen five red zone targets. Since Week 9, the 49ers have utilized single-high at the third-highest rate in the NFL (67.5%). Since Week 11, against single-high, Moore has seen his numbers increase across the board with a 36.2% target share, 2.65 YPRR, and a 38.1% first-read share. Since Week 8, San Francisco has allowed the eighth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. If Moore plays, he should crush this week.

Chuba Hubbard
RB - CAR (at PHI)
Hubbard retained a stranglehold on the snaps last week while Jonathon Brooks was worked in more. He played 80% of the snaps, finishing with 12 touches and 43 total yards. Hubbard also had a 64% red zone snap rate last week. Hubbard is the RB15 in fantasy points per game this season, averaging 18.4 touches and 87.1 total yards. Among 57 qualifying backs, Hubbard ranks 12th in explosive run rate and tenth in yards after contact per attempt. Hubbard should find success this week if his offensive line can continue to open up holes. Since Week 8, Philly has been more pliable on the ground, allowing the 13th-highest yards after contact per attempt, the ninth-highest missed tackle rate, and the fourth-highest zone rushing success (Hubbard 67.7% zone).

Jaxon Smith-Njigba
WR - SEA (at ARI)
Smith-Njigba is now the WR16 in fantasy points per game, ranking 21st in deep targets among wide receivers. He has three red zone targets and three scores across his last five games. Overall, he has a 21.5% target share, 1.96 YPRR, and a 23.9% first-read share. Since Week 10, Arizona has leaned heavily on two high coverage leading the NFL in usage (65.3%). Against two high, Smith-Njigba leads the team with a 20.9% target share while also recording 2.11 YPRR and a 22.2% first-read share. Since Week 8, Arizona has been more vulnerable to slot receivers, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the position and ranking 16th in PPR points per target given up. The last time Smith-Njigba faced this secondary, he finished as the WR13 for the week (19.7 PPR points).

Deebo Samuel Sr.
WR - SF (vs . CHI)
Since Week 10, Samuel has been the WR75 in fantasy points per game. It's been a tough season for him. Samuel might see a few rushing attempts this week with McCaffrey and Mason out, but it's also possible that he won't. Samuel only has one rushing attempt over his last three games. This week's matchup is a good one, but it's fair to question whether Samuel can capitalize at this point of the season. Chicago has the fifth-highest singe-high rate (60.2%). Since Week 10, against single-high, Samuel has had a 23.3% target share and a 27.3% first-read share with only 1.39 YPRR and 0.068 FD/RR. Since Week 8, Chicago has ranked 15th in receiving yards per game allowed to perimeter wide receivers while also giving up the fifth-most PPR points per target.

45.
Trey McBride
TE - ARI (vs . SEA)
Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray continues to target tight end Trey McBride at a ridiculous rate. McBride has earned 27 total targets in Arizona's last two games. It is hard to argue with Murray's mindset, as those 27 passes have resulted in 24 grabs for 229 yards. Of course, fantasy managers wouldn't mind if McBride caught a touchdown every once in a blue moon. But as long as the volume continues to be there, McBride is a weekly candidate to lead all tight ends in fantasy points. This week's matchup against an average Seattle Seahawks defense should not prohibit McBride's usage from continuing. Seattle has allowed a completion on 75 percent of tight end targets this year.

Garrett Wilson
WR - NYJ (at MIA)
Wilson is the WR15 in fantasy points per game, ranking second among wide receivers in red zone targets. Since Week 7, he has only four red zone targets and two scores. During the same span, he has had a 25.2% target share, 1.82 YPRR, and a 32.4% first-read share while averaging 13.9 PPR points per game. He's a solid play this week against a Miami secondary that, since Week 8, has ranked 16th in fantasy points per game and 15th in PRR points per target allowed to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
47.
Jerry Jeudy
WR - CLE (at PIT)
The last time the Browns played the Steelers, Jeudy only saw Joey Porter Jr. on 36% of his routes, so I'm not projecting him to shadow Jeudy this week. I could easily be wrong here, so factor the possibility of Porter Jr. following him into his range of outcomes this week. Since Week 8, Jeudy has been on fire as the WR3 in fantasy points per game, seeing a 21.9% target share with 2.84 YPRR and a 24.1% first-read share. Pittsburgh utilizes single high at the highest rate in the NFL (70.8%). Against single high, since Week 8, Jeudy has had a 24.5% target share with 3.33 YPRR and a 27.5% first-read share. Jeudy should slay again this week. Since Week 8, Pittsburgh has allowed the second-most receiving yards per game and the 13th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
48.
Davante Adams
WR - NYJ (at MIA)
Since Week 7, Adams has had a 26.7% target share, 1.76 YPRR, and a 31.7% first-read share while averaging 12.9 PPR points per game. Across his last six games, he has had seven red zone targets and two scores. Adams should continue to soak up volume this week. Since Week 8, Miami has ranked 16th in fantasy points per game and 15th in PRR points per target allowed to perimeter wide receivers.

49.
George Kittle
TE - SF (vs . CHI)
It took a December snowstorm in Buffalo to finally knock George Kittle from the ranks of weekly top-10 fantasy tight ends. Fantasy managers will have to chalk last week's dud to the conditions, and trust that Kittle will be back to form in Week 14. His matchup against the Chicago Bears is neutral, though the Bears are a bit of a run-funnel. However, given the state of San Francisco's running backs, Kittle should get plenty of looks, especially by the goal line. Kittle leads all tight ends this season in receptions (8), targets (10), and touchdowns (6) inside the opponents' 10-yard line.

Brian Thomas Jr.
WR - JAC (at TEN)
Thomas Jr. is the WR24 in fantasy points per game, ranking 12th in deep targets among wideouts. Since Week 10, he has only seen one red zone target. Overall, he has seen a 19.1% target share and 22.8% first-read share, producing 2.36 YPRR and 63.8 receiving yards per game. Since Week 9, Tennessee has utilized two high at the seventh-highest rate (55.8%). Against two high, Thomas Jr. has seen his target share fall to 17.2% with 1.87 YPRR and a 21.2% first-read share. The reduction in volume and efficiency is notable, but this secondary has been dreadful against perimeter wide receivers over the last few weeks. I don't know if it matters that much. Since Week 8, Tennessee has allowed the 14th-most fantasy points per game and the sixth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
51.
Marvin Harrison Jr.
WR - ARI (vs . SEA)
Last week, Brian Flores switched up the game and played single-high on 64.7% of his defensive snaps, so Harrison Jr. walked away with a stronger game than I expected. I don't think that will happen this week. Harrison Jr.'s splits versus single high and two high have been pronounced this season, and I don't see Seattle moving away from their newfound love of two high. Seattle shut Harrison Jr. down last time while deploying two high on 55.8% of their defensive snaps, and I think we will see that again in Week 14. Against two high, Harrison Jr. has had an 18.6% target share with 1.45 YPRR and a 25.9% first-read share. Harrison Jr. is likely set for another subpar outing in Week 14. Since moving to more two high in Week 10, Seattle has held perimeter wide receivers to the sixth-fewest PPR points per target and the fewest receiving yards per game.
|
|
52.
Jameson Williams
WR - DET (vs . GB)
Williams is the WR35 in fantasy points per game with four top-24 wide receiver outings this season. He remains a boom/bust option weekly that hasn't seen a red-zone look since Week 2. Overall, Williams has had a 17.7% target share, a 32.6% air-yard share, 2.32 YPRR, and a 24.1% first-read share. Since Week 6, Green Bay has utilized two high at the seventh-highest rate (53.9%). Against two high, Williams has seen his target share increase to 22.4% with 2.87 YPRR and a 32% first-read share. Williams could have a nice day if Detroit passes enough against a secondary that, since Week 8, has ranked 17th in PPR points per target allowed.

53.
Rachaad White
RB - TB (vs . LV)
Since Week 8, White has been the RB22 in fantasy points per game, averaging 11.6 touches and 59.4 total yards per game. Among 57 qualifying backs, he has ranked 38th in missed tackles forced per attempt and ninth in yards after contact per attempt. White is an RB2/3 this week against an improved Raiders run defense. Since Week 8, the Raiders have allowed the tenth-lowest explosive run rate, the third-fewest rushing yards per game, the third-lowest missed tackle rate, and the 12th-lowest yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
54.
Travis Etienne Jr.
RB - JAC (at TEN)
Last week, with Tank Bigsby back, Etienne played 52% of the snaps, 64% of the rushing play snaps, and had a 67% red zone snap rate. Etienne finished with 16 touches and 58 total yards. He has been immensely disappointing this season on a per-touch basis. Among 57 qualifying backs, he ranks 49th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 40th in yards after contact per attempt. Etienne is a volume-based RB3/flex play. Since Week 8, Tennessee has ranked 16th in explosive run rate and 15th in missed tackle rate while allowing the tenth-lowest yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
55.
Gus Edwards
RB - LAC (at KC)
Last week, Edwards led the way for the backfield with a 52% snap rate while playing 64% of the rushing play snaps. What's concerning for Edwards is that he didn't see a snap inside the red zone. Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins each played 40% of the red zone snaps. Last week, Edwards had seven touches and 33 total yards. Edwards has been stuck in the mud all season, with only a 7% missed tackle rate and 2.16 yards after contact per attempt. I expect him to lead the backfield in touches again this week, but if you told me that Kimani Vidal took over as the lead back this week, I wouldn't be shocked at all. Edwards is a must-sit this week. Since Week 8, the Chiefs have continued to field an elite run defense, allowing the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game, the fourth-lowest explosive run rate, and the fifth-lowest yards after contact per attempt.

56.
Jauan Jennings
WR - SF (vs . CHI)
Since Week 10, Jennings has been the WR23 in fantasy with a 28.8% target share, a 37.6% air-yard share, 2.48 YPRR, and a 36.3% first-read share. Across his last four games, he has five red zone targets. Chicago has the fifth-highest singe-high rate (60.2%). Since Week 10, against single-high, Jennings has had a 28.3% target share, 2.10 YPRR, and a 31.8% first-read share. He should lead the way for San Francisco through the air this week. Since Week 8, Chicago has ranked 15th in receiving yards per game allowed to perimeter wide receivers while also giving up the fifth-most PPR points per target.
|
|
57.
Travis Kelce
TE - KC (vs . LAC)
Travis Kelce has registered at least 60 receiving yards in five of his last six games. However, he has been overshadowed in the touchdown department by fellow Chiefs tight end Noah Gray in recent weeks. Kelce has not scored in three straight games, while Gray has scored four times in that span. Kansas City hosts the Los Angeles Chargers this week, which appears to be a difficult matchup for both tight ends. Los Angeles has given up just one touchdown to opposing tight ends this year. Kelce managed a TE5 finish during the last meeting with Los Angeles. However, it should be noted that Derwin James missed that game. Kelce should get enough volume to keep him afloat, but his Week 14 ceiling may be a bit lower than normal.

58.
Khalil Shakir
WR - BUF (at LAR)
Since Week 7, Shakir has been the WR32 in fantasy points per game, drawing a 24.9% target share with 2.35 YPRR and a 32.5% first-read share. He has one end-zone target in this stretch while averaging 63.3 receiving yards per game. Shakir has six red zone targets across his last six games. He faces a Rams secondary that has been stout against slot receivers since Week 7, allowing the 14th-fewest receiving yards per game and the seventh-fewest PPR points per target.
|
|
59.
Malik Nabers
WR - NYG (vs . NO)
Without Daniel Jones under center, Nabers has still had a 32.8% target share, 66.5 receiving yards per game, 1.77 YPRR, and a 39.6% first-read share. Sadly, all of the volume in this broken offense has only equated to 13.9 fantasy points per game. Nabers has one red zone target over the last two games. The feather in his cap that can help him this week is the Saints' secondary, which has been dreadful. Since Week 8, they have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points per game and the fourth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Nabers popped up on the injury report on Thursday with a hip issue. He has been listed as questionable and didn't practice on Friday.

60.
Christian Watson
WR - GB (at DET)
Watson is the weekly wildcard in this receiver room. Since Week 7, Detroit has utilized single high at the seventh-highest rate (57.8%). Against single-high, since Week 4, Watson ranks second in target share (17.5%), first in YPRR (2.71), and second in first-read share (22.2%). With Watson's downfield role and efficiency against single-high, I won't bet against him making a splash play or two this week. The matchup isn't great on paper when looking at how Detroit has defended outside receivers. Playing Watson as a flex this week is done with an eye on his ceiling and an internal conversation for your team, depending upon your other options. Since Week 8, Detroit has limited perimeter wide receivers to the third-fewest PPR points per target and the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game.
|
|
61.
Darnell Mooney
WR - ATL (at MIN)
Mooney is the WR34 in fantasy points per game, ranking seventh in deep targets among wideouts. Sadly, he hasn't seen a red zone target since Week 7, though. This could be a good week for him to break the cold streak. Minnesota has utilized two high at the highest rate in the NFL (65.2%). Against two high, Mooney has had a 22.1% target share, 2.47 YPRR, and a 28.4% first-read share. Since Week 8, Minnesota has allowed the tenth-most receiving yards per game and the 13th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

62.
Jonnu Smith
TE - MIA (vs . NYJ)
Since Week 8, Smith has been the TE5 in fantasy points per game, soaking up a 20.8% target share with 2.53 YPRR and a 25.7% first-read share. He has had three end zone targets in this span and scored three times. Since Week 8, Smith has run 46.6% of his routes from the slot. Since Week 8, the Jets have held slot receivers to the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game while ranking 15th in PPR points per target allowed. Smith should continue to get volume this week while keeping him in the TE1 good graces, but don't expect a smash game.
|
|
63.
Tank Bigsby
RB - JAC (at TEN)
Last week, Bigsby returned to the lineup, playing 46% of the snaps but only 33% of the snaps in the red zone. He finished with eight touches and 35 total yards. It's tough to get excited about playing Bigsby right now, considering the state of this offense. There hasn't been a ton of passing volume directed to the running back position (Jags have the fifth-lowest target share to the running back position, 14.4%), a consistent commitment to running the football, and the overall offensive environment has been downgraded considerably with Mac Jones under center. Bigsby is a touchdown-dependent RB3 who is likely better off on your bench this week. Since Week 8, Tennessee has ranked 16th in explosive run rate and 15th in missed tackle rate while allowing the tenth-lowest yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
64.
Jordan Addison
WR - MIN (vs . ATL)
Addison has raised his stock in recent weeks to the WR36 in fantasy points per game, with top 24 receiver showings in three of his last five games. He has five red zone targets and three scores across his last five games. Since Week 6, Atlanta has utilized two high at the sixth-highest rate (54.4%). Against two high, Addison has had a 16.4% target share with 1.82 YPRR and a 19.6% first-read share. He should crush this week against a secondary that, since Week 8, has allowed the seventh-most receiving yards per game and fourth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
65.
Keenan Allen
WR - CHI (at SF)
Allen opened this week with a DNP (ankle). He practiced in full for the rest of the week and doesn't carry an injury designation into this game. Since Week 11, Allen has finished as the WR49, WR5, and WR4 in weekly fantasy scoring. He has had a 26.3% target share, 1.64 YPRR, and a 32.1% first-read share. Allen has three red zone targets in his last three games. Since Week 9, the 49ers have utilized single-high at the third-highest rate in the NFL (67.5%). Since Week 11, against single-high, Allen has had a 22.4% target share, 1.56 YPRR, and a 28.6% first-read share. He has a tough matchup this week, aside from the worries about the coverage shell matchup. Since Week 8, the 49ers have held slot receivers to the fewest fantasy points per game and the fewest PPR points per target.
|
|
66.
DeVonta Smith
WR - PHI (vs . CAR)
Smith will be back this week. He has practiced in full all week and doesn't carry an injury designation this week. Smith has fallen to WR32 in fantasy points per game as Philly has moved toward a lower-volume passing offense. With the decreased passing volume, Smith has been incredibly volatile for fantasy football. Across his last five games played, Smith has finished as a top 24 wide receiver in weekly scoring twice (WR7, WR13), but he has also finished outside the top 50 fantasy wideouts three times (WR102, WR71, WR54). Since Week 7, Smith has had a 21.1% target share (4.6 targets per game), 1.70 YPRR (42.6 receiving yards per game), and a 30.4% first-read share. During that span, he has only two red zone targets. Since Week 8, Carolina has allowed the 13th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers while also holding them to the fifth-fewest PPR points per target. Smith could return decent numbers this week, but the range of outcomes for his Week 14 performance is wide.
|
|
67.
David Njoku
TE - CLE (at PIT)
With Jameis Winston under center, Njoku has been the TE7 in fantasy points per game, seeing a 20.1% target share with 1.18 YPRR and a 19% first-read share. Across his last five games, he has five red zone targets and three scores. Pittsburgh utilizes single high at the highest rate in the NFL (70.8%). Against single high, since Week 8, Njoku has seen his target share fall to 18.9% while his YPRR has increased to 1.44, and his first-read share has bumped up to 22.5%. Njoku had a tough outing last time against the Steelers, securing only one of his five targets for nine scoreless yards. I'm not projecting a huge game this week from Njoku against a pass defense that shut him down last time and has held tight ends to the ninth-lowest yards per reception and 14th-fewest fantasy points per game.
|
|
68.
DeAndre Hopkins
WR - KC (vs . LAC)
Last week, Hopkins saw his usage improve with a 63.5% route share, a 19.6% target share, 2.73 YPRR (90 receiving yards), and a 24% first-read share (second behind only Travis Kelce). He also saw an end-zone target. Hopkins has seven red zone targets across his last five games played in a Chiefs uniform. He faces a Chargers' secondary that has had some issues since Week 8, allowing the 12th-most receiving yards per game and the ninth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
69.
Jaylen Waddle
WR - MIA (vs . NYJ)
Waddle has eclipsed 60 receiving yards and 12 fantasy points only twice this season. It's been a tough season for an immensely talented player who seems to be on the outside looking in for the weekly game plan. Since Week 8, Jeudy has only two red zone targets and one touchdown. The Jets have the seventh-highest single-high rate (56.6%). Since Week 8, against single high, Waddle has had a 13.6% target share, 2.10 YPRR, and a 14.5% first-read share. Sit Waddle this week. Since Week 8, New York has allowed the seventh-fewest PPR points per target and the 11th-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

70.
Zach Charbonnet
RB - SEA (at ARI)
With Kenneth Walker out this week, Charbonnet is in the RB2 mix for Week 14. Charbonnet has two starts this season. In those games, he averaged a 90% snap rate with 20 touches and 88 total yards with weekly finishes as RB7 and RB8. In limited work this season, Charbonnet has had a 23% missed tackle rate, with 2.53 yards after contact per attempt. Charbonnet will have a tough matchup to overcome this week. Since Week 8, Arizona has allowed the third-lowest explosive run rate, the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game, and the seventh-lowest yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
71.
Amari Cooper
WR - BUF (at LAR)
Last week, if you look at Cooper's overall route share (57.9% route share), it would appear that he remained a part-time player, but the weird snow game and blowout nature of the contest obscure things. In the first half, he had a 70% route share, which trailed only Khalil Shakir (80%). Assuming there are no flukey elements to this week's game, we should see Cooper hit a 70-80% route share. During his time in Buffalo, when he was on the field, his per route numbers were good, with a 19% TPRR and 2.00 YPRR. Cooper could have a breakout game this week against a Rams' secondary that, since Week 7, has ranked 16th in receiving yards per game allowed to perimeter wide receivers while also surrendering the highest PPR points per target to the position.
|
|
72.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling
WR - NO (at NYG)
Since Week 10, Valdes-Scantling has been running hotter than the sun with 18.1 fantasy points per game, as he's been converting with all of his deep target opportunities. Since Week 10, he has scored four times, two of which came via deep targets. 60% of his target volume has been deep targets. Overall, during this span, he's had a 74% route share, an 11% target share (25.7 aDOT), 3.27 YPRR, and a 17.5% first-read share. Valdes-Scantling has seen three end zone targets across his last three games. He should be able to keep up the magical run this week. The Giants have been dreadful at defending deep passing all year, giving up the fifth-most deep passing yards per game and the highest passer rating to targets 20 or more yards downfield.
|
|
73.
Xavier Worthy
WR - KC (vs . LAC)
Since Week 9, Worthy has finished higher than WR41 in weekly fantasy scoring only once. He has drawn three red zone targets in that span, so that's mildly encouraging. Across his last five games, he has only an 11.9% target share, a 23.4% air-yard share, 1.07 YPRR, and a 13.6% first-read share. He's a dart throw flex with a good matchup this week. He faces a Chargers' secondary that has had some issues since Week 8, allowing the 12th-most receiving yards per game and the ninth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
74.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine
WR - TEN (vs . JAC)
Good lawd...he can't keep doing this...can he? Across his last eight games, he has eight receiving touchdowns. 40% of his receptions in that span have been converted into touchdowns. That is absolutely insane. He has four weekly finishes as a top-24 wide receiver. Since Week 10, Westbrook-Ikhine has had a 17.2% target share with 2.04 YPRR and a 22.9% first-read share with only one red zone target. Over the last two games, Jacksonville has moved back to featuring single-high coverage at the sixth-highest rate (65.8%). This is fantastic news for Ridley. Since Week 10, against single-high, Westbrook-Ikhine has had a 17.6% target share with 0.98 YPRR and a 21.6% first-read share. The efficiency drop-off is notable, but against this dumpster fire secondary in Jacksonville, it might not matter this week. Since Week 8, Jacksonville has allowed the fourth-most receiving yards per game and the ninth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
75.
Kareem Hunt
RB - KC (vs . LAC)
Last week, Hunt's grip on this backfield loosened. He played only 38% of the snaps, with nine touches and 15 total yards. He split the rushing down snaps evenly with Isiah Pacheco (46.7% each) while holding a lead in the red zone (50% of the snaps). I expect Pacheco to eat into Hunt's workload further this week as he reclaims the backfield. That makes Hunt a volatile flex play at best. The entire thesis behind Hunt's value has been volume and not efficiency. With the volume drying up quickly, his fantasy value could quickly go to zero as soon as this week. At least working in his favor this week is that he has a wonderful matchup on the ground. Since Week 8, the Chargers' run defense has fallen apart as they have allowed the 12th-most rushing yards per game, the 11th-highest explosive run rate, and the second-highest yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
76.
Rome Odunze
WR - CHI (at SF)
Odunze could get a boost this week if D.J. Moore is out, but if Moore plays, Odunze is a must-sit this week. Since Week 9, the 49ers have utilized single-high at the third-highest rate in the NFL (67.5%). Since Week 11, against single-high, Odunze has had a 19% target share, 0.97 YPRR, and a 16.7% first-read share. I'll update his status if Moore gets ruled out. He does have a favorable matchup if he gets the target boost with Moore sitting. Since Week 8, San Francisco has allowed the eighth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
77.
Jaylen Warren
RB - PIT (vs . CLE)
What did Warren do to Arthur Smith or Mike Tomlin? I ask this because after seeing a season-high snap share in Week 12, his workload diminished last week. He played only 36% of the snaps, with seven touches and 64 total yards. He still led the backs with a 57% red zone snap rate, but Cordarrelle Patterson ate into his rushing and passing down snaps. We'll see if this trend continues, but last week's showing makes Warren a more volatile flex play. Warren has looked like himself since Week 8, though, with a 6.5% explosive run rate, a 26% missed tackle rate, and 2.54 yards after contact per attempt. The matchup is nice for Warren this week, so if his workload bounces back, he should resume his solid flex play status. Cleveland's run defense has taken a step back. Since Week 8, they have allowed the second-highest explosive run rate, the tenth-most rushing yards per game, the fourth-highest missed tackle rate, and the third-highest yards per carry to zone runs (Harris 69.6% zone).

78.
Elijah Moore
WR - CLE (at PIT)
Since Week 8, Moore has been the WR35 in fantasy points per game and has seen two red zone targets. During this stretch, he has had a 21.5% target share, 1.71 YPRR, and a 23.4% first-read share. Pittsburgh utilizes single high at the highest rate in the NFL (70.8%). Against single high, since Week 8, Moore has had a 24.5% target share, 2.21 YPRR, and a 23.8% first-read share. The Steelers have toughened up against slot receivers since Week 8, allowing the third-fewest receiving yards per game and the fifth-fewest PPR points per target. Moore should still see a healthy amount of volume this week despite the tough matchup, which keeps him on the flex radar.

Dontayvion Wicks
WR - GB (at DET)
With Romeo Doubs ruled out, Wicks will step back into the starting lineup in Week 14. Since Week 7, Detroit has utilized single high at the seventh-highest rate (57.8%). Against single-high, since Week 4, Wicks leads the team with a 34% TPRR and ranks fourth in YPRR (2.05) and first-read share (14.7%). In the last five games that he has played at least 50% of the snaps, he has seen seven red zone targets. Wicks will be heavily involved this week. The matchup isn't amazing, but he could be the 1B this week behind Jayden Reed. Since Week 8, Detroit has limited perimeter wide receivers to the third-fewest PPR points per target and the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game.

80.
Sam LaPorta
TE - DET (vs . GB)
LaPorta is the TE14 in fantasy points per game, ranking fifth in deep targets and tenth in red zone targets among tight ends. He has a 12.9% target share with 1.64 YPRR and a 13.3% first-read share. Green Bay has been a great matchup for tight ends, allowing the sixth-most receiving yards per game, the 12th-most yards per reception, and the tenth-most fantasy points per game.

81.
Sincere McCormick
RB - LV (at TB)
Antonio Pierce has talked up McCormick this week and mentioned getting him more work this week. We'll see if that happens, but the talented young back has earned it. Last week, he played 38% of the snaps overall, 56% of the rushing play snaps, and 26% of the passing down snaps. McCormick finished with 14 touches and 65 total yards. He's only had 17 carries this season, but posting an 11.8% explosive run rate, a 24% missed tackle rate and 2.59 yards after contact per attempt is pretty, pretty good. This week, this entire backfield is up in the air, with the return of Alexander Mattison and the possible continued ascension of Sincere McCormick. The work could be split up in three directions this week, or one of these backs could emerge to lead the way. There's no way to project their workloads accurately.This week's matchup isn't great, as the Bucs have massively improved as a run defense. Since Week 8, they have allowed the tenth-fewest rushing yards per game, the eighth-lowest explosive run rate, the ninth-lowest missed tackle rate, and the fourth-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Abdullah is an uneasy flex this week.
|
|
82.
Cade Otton
TE - TB (vs . LV)
Otton is the TE7 in fantasy points per game, ranking third at the position in red zone targets. Since Mike Evans' return, though, it hasn't been pretty with back-to-back TE28 weekly finishes. He has had two red zone targets over the last two games. Since Week 12, he's had a 15.6% target share, 25 receiving yards per game (1.02 YPRR), and a 10.4% first-read share. The good thing for Otton is that he has a wonderful matchup this week and could be headed for a bounce-back game. The Raiders have allowed the second-most receiving yards per game, the tenth-highest yards per reception, and the third-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
|
|
83.
T.J. Hockenson
TE - MIN (vs . ATL)
Hockenson has been the TE22 in fantasy points per game since his return and hasn't seen a red zone target since Week 10. This week's matchup is a good bounce-back opportunity. Since Week 6, Atlanta has utilized two high at the sixth-highest rate (54.4%). Against two high, Hockenson ranks second in TPRR (22%), third in first-read share (18.5%), and has 1.54 YPRR. Atlanta ranks 17th in yards per reception and 12th in fantasy points per game allowed to tight ends.
|
|
84.
Xavier Legette
WR - CAR (at PHI)
Since Week 8, with Bryce Young under center, Legette has had a 17.6% target share, a 28.5% air-yard share, 1.38 YPRR, and a 20.8% first-read share. He has been the WR48 in fantasy points per game during this stretch, eclipsing 13 PPR fantasy points twice. Since Week 7, Philly has held perimeter wide receivers to the lowest fantasy points per game and PPR points per target. Legette will be flex-worthy in the upcoming weeks, but Week 14 isn't one of them.

Tre Tucker
WR - LV (at TB)

|
86.
Evan Engram
TE - JAC (at TEN)
Since Week 10, Engram has had a 24.7% target share, 1.28 YPRR, and a 24% first-read share. Since Week 9, Tennessee has utilized two high at the seventh-highest rate (55.8%). Since Week 10, against two high, Engram has had a 29.3% target share with 1.87 YPRR and a 28.1% first-read share. It's a perfect schematic matchup for Engram. The big question is if Mac Jones can play well enough to support any high-end fantasy options this week. Across their last five games, Tennessee has ranked 17th in schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game allowed to tight ends.
|
|
87.
Tucker Kraft
TE - GB (at DET)
Since Week 4, Kraft has had a 12.9% target share, 1.73 YPRR, and a 13.2% first-read share as the TE10 in fantasy. Overall, among tight ends, he ranks sixth in red zone targets, 11th in receiving yards, and third in yards after the catch. Don't expect a big game from Kraft this week. Detroit has held tight ends to the fourth-fewest yards per reception and the fewest fantasy points per game.
|
|
88.
Quentin Johnston
WR - LAC (at KC)
Since Week 8, Johnston has had a 17% target share, 1.60 YPRR, and a 19.1% first-read share. He's had three red zone targets during that span and scored three touchdowns. The Chiefs have the third-highest two high rate in the NFL (60.1%). Since Week 8, against two high (minimum 50 routes), Johnson has ranked fourth in TPRR (12%), first in YPRR (2.23), and third in first-read share (17.9%). Johnston runs into a secondary that, since Week 8, has allowed the tenth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Johnson is a weekly flex dice roll. At this point, the boom/bust nature of his game is well known.
|
|
89.
Adam Thielen
WR - CAR (at PHI)
Since his return to the huddle, Thielen has had a 17.3% target share, 2.33 YPRR, and a 21.1% first-read share. He has one red zone target over the last two games. He crushed as the WR5 in PPR scoring last week, but he unfortunately doesn't get to face the Bucs' pitiful secondary weekly. Sit Thielen this week against a tough Philly secondary that, since Week 7, has held slot receivers to the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game and the second-fewest PPR points per target.
|
|
90.
Will Dissly
TE - LAC (at KC)
I understand the goose egg that Dissly laid in the box score last week hurt. I get it, but this isn't the week to hop off the Dissly train. Before that terrible game last week, Dissly had been money in fantasy. In Weeks 7-12, Dissly had a 19.1% target share, 19.3% first-read share, and 2.01 YPRR. He averaged 48 receiving yards per game and had two TE1 weeks (TE7, TE6). This week, he draws a dream matchup against a Chiefs pass defense that has allowed the most receiving yards per game and the fourth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Jerome Ford
RB - CLE (at PIT)

93.
Parker Washington
WR - JAC (at TEN)
I don't want to chase last week's big game for Washington. Last week, he had an 87% route share, a 28.6% target share, 103 receiving yards (2.64 YPRR), and a 31.4% first-read share. That all looks amazing. In his two previous games, he had a 58.6% route share, a 5.9% target share, five receiving yards per game, and a 7.5% first-read share. Gabriel Davis was a factor in Weeks 10 & 11 that also needs to be mentioned, but I won't be surprised if Washington doesn't see last week's usage moving forward. If you're in desperation mode for a flex play, I understand embracing the risk with Washington. I just want to acknowledge the risk that last week's performance was an outlier. Since Week 8, Tennessee has allowed the 14th-most fantasy points per game and the sixth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
94.
Pat Freiermuth
TE - PIT (vs . CLE)
With Russell Wilson starting, Freiermuth has been the TE19 in fantasy points per game with a 10.6% target share, 1.58 YPRR, and an 11.8% first-read share. He has only three red zone targets over his last six games. Freiermuth is a low-end streaming option this week. The Browns rank 18th in receiving yards per game allowed to tight ends while also giving up the ninth-most fantasy points per game.
|
|
95.
Joshua Palmer
WR - LAC (at KC)
Palmer is a flex play that really only comes into focus if McConkey misses this week or if you're in a deep league and you're desperate. The Chiefs have the third-highest two high rate in the NFL (60.1%). Since Week 8, against two high (minimum 50 routes), Palmer ranks third in TPRR (13%), second in YPRR (2.17), and fourth in first-read share (15.7%). Since Week 7, Palmer has seen only one red zone target, so his chances of scoring a touchdown this week are slim unless he breaks a big play. He does have a favorable matchup against a secondary that has been struggling recently. Since Week 8, Kansas City has allowed the tenth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
96.
Demarcus Robinson
WR - LAR (vs . BUF)
Since Week 8, Robinson has been on fire with three top 30 wide receiver weekly finishes (WR18, WR5, WR30) and six touchdowns. He has had an 11.8% target share, 1.38 YPRR, and a 12.5% first-read share. He has led the team in end-zone targets with seven while averaging 39.2 receiving yards per game. The matchup this week isn't great, but I won't rule out that Robinson can keep the touchdown magic rolling in Week 14. Since Week 7, Buffalo has allowed the fewest receiving yards per game and the 14th-fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
97.
Kyle Pitts
TE - ATL (at MIN)
Pitts is coming off a week where he played a season-low 41% of the snaps and saw only two targets. The sad thing is I don't know if his usage gets any better this week. It's another terrible schematic matchup for him. Minnesota has utilized two high at the highest rate in the NFL (65.2%). Against two high, Pitts has disappeared with a 13.3% target share, 0.95 YPRR, and an 11.5% first-read share. The Vikings have limited tight ends to the 12th-fewest fantasy points per game and the eighth-fewest yards per reception.
|
|
98.
Jonathon Brooks
RB - CAR (at PHI)
Last week, Brooks played 21% of the snaps and had a 43% snap rate in the red zone. He finished with six touches and 41 total yards. Brooks has looked good so far with a 25% missed tackle rate, although his 1.63 yards after contact per attempt is passable, considering he's only had eight carries. Brooks isn't getting enough volume yet to be considered a weekly flex play, but he's worth a hold. His role could continue to grow down the stretch as Carolina is in full eval mode to conclude the 2024 season.
|
|
99.
Brandin Cooks
WR - DAL (vs . CIN)
Last week, Cooks returned and had a 51.4% route share, a 19.4% target share, 0.84 YPRR (16 receiving yards), and a 22.2% first-read share. Cooks led the team with two end-zone targets and scored a touchdown. I expect his route share to rise this week. While I'm not immensely high on Cooks this week, nor do I want to heavily buy into a Cooper Rush-led passing attack, the matchup is glorious this week. Since Week 8, Cincy has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game and the fifth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Cooks is a solid flex this week.

Juwan Johnson
TE - NO (at NYG)
With Taysom Hill lost for the rest of the season, Johnson should assume a huge role in the passing game. Last week, he tied for the team lead with a 16.2% target share with a 76.9% route share, 1.20 YPRR (36 receiving yards), and a 26.3% first-read share (led the team). Johnson is a volume-based streaming option because the matchup isn't glorious. New York has allowed the 12th-fewest yards per reception and the second-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.
|
|
103.
Sterling Shepard
WR - TB (vs . LV)
Since Mike Evans' return, Shepard has had a 21.9% target share, 1.26 YPRR (29 receiving yards per game), and a 27.1% first-read share. He has finished as the WR54 in weekly fantasy scoring in each game. I know I'll sound crazy here, but he is primed for a strong game this week. He has four red zone targets over the last two weeks and hasn't scored a touchdown, so there's some baked-in touchdown regression that's due to hit here. Also, the Raiders have been dreadful at defending the slot. Since Week 8, Las Vegas has allowed the third-most receiving yards per game, the most fantasy points per game, and the fourth-most PPR points per target to slot receivers.

Tyjae Spears

Spears lost any standalone fantasy appeal he had last week. In his return, he played only 25% of the snaps and had one carry for three yards. The team looks committed to Pollard as their near-everydown workhorse.

Cole Kmet

I'm not high on Kmet this week. Since Week 11, with Thomas Brown calling the plays, Kmet has had a 13.6% target share, 1.35 YPRR, and an 11.9% first-read share. Kmet has only two red zone targets over his last six games. The 49ers have held tight ends to the fourth-fewest receiving yards per game and the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game.
|
|
112.
Keon Coleman
WR - BUF (at LAR)
Coleman practiced on a limited basis all week (wrist) and has been listed as questionable. Coleman is a shaky flex play this week, as his route share is unpredictable. He could be a full-time player this week, but I also wouldn't be shocked if he only had a 50-60% route share. Coleman is the WR55 in fantasy points per game with three WR3 or higher weekly finishes. He has four red zone targets in his last four games played. Coleman has a 13.6% target share, 2.02 YPRR, and a 19.4% first-read share. He has a favorable matchup this week, so it's also possible that he smashes if he is a full-time player this week. Since Week 7, the Rams' secondary has ranked 16th in receiving yards per game allowed to perimeter wide receivers while also surrendering the highest PPR points per target to the position.
|
|
113.
Ameer Abdullah
RB - LV (at TB)
Last week, Abdullah retained the lead back role, playing 62% of the snaps with 12 touches and 53 total yards. He played 44% of the rushing play snaps, 74% of the passing down snaps, and 100% of the red zone snaps. This week, this entire backfield is up in the air, with the return of Alexander Mattison and the possible continued ascension of Sincere McCormick. The work could be split up in three directions this week, or one of these backs could emerge to lead the way. There's no way to project their workloads accurately. This week's matchup isn't great, as the Bucs have massively improved as a run defense. Since Week 8, they have allowed the tenth-fewest rushing yards per game, the eighth-lowest explosive run rate, the ninth-lowest missed tackle rate, and the fourth-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Abdullah is an uneasy flex this week.

Kimani Vidal
RB - LAC (at KC)
Vidal could take over as the Bolts lead back this week, but it's difficult to project that. I think we have all seen enough from Gus Edwards to know that the gas tank is empty. I hope the Chargers feel the same way. There's no way to play Vidal with any confidence this week, especially considering the difficult matchup. Last week, Vidal played 26% of the snaps with four carries and 20 rushing yards. He did play 40% of the red zone snaps. Vidal has looked serviceable when he has gotten opportunities, with a 4.5% explosive run rate and 2.55 yards after contact per attempt. Since Week 8, the Chiefs have continued to field an elite run defense, allowing the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game, the fourth-lowest explosive run rate, and the fifth-lowest yards after contact per attempt.

Pearsall is droppable at this point. Unless he makes some noise in Week 14, this will likely be the last time he gets a blurb in the Primer this season. Pearsall hasn't recorded a reception or logged a receiving yard since Week 10.
|
|
120.
Mike Gesicki
TE - CIN (at DAL)
With Tee Higgins active this season, Gesicki has disappeared. He has had only a 6.4% target share, averaged 17.7 receiving yards per game, and had a 5.8% first-read share. There are too many other decent streaming options this week at the position to consider going to Gesicki.

With Dallas Goedert back on the shelf, Calcaterra reenters the streaming tight-end conversation for Week 14. During his four-game run earlier this season as the team's starter, he had one TE1 weekly finish and one red zone target. During that span, he had an 82.5% route share, a 15.5% target share, 1.88 yards per route run, and a 12.7% first-read share. Calcaterra couldn't ask for a better matchup this week. Carolina has allowed the eighth-most receiving yards and the most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Fant didn't play against Arizona in their last meeting. He returned last week with a 68.6% route share, a 12.9% target share, 1.08 YPRR, and a 10.5% first-read share. Since Week 10, Arizona has leaned heavily on two high coverage leading the NFL in usage (65.3%). Against two high, Fant ranks fourth on the team in TPRR (16%), third in YPRR (1.41), and fourth in first-read share (13.8%). Arizona has kept tight ends in check, giving up the tenth-lowest yards per reception and the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position.

Ferguson will be back in the huddle this week. In his one game played with Rush, Ferguson had a 13.8% target share, 1.04 YPRR (24 receiving yards), and a 17.4% first-read share. He should compete with Cooks for the number two spot in the target pecking order this week. Overall, Ferguson is the TE17 in fantasy points per game, ranking 22nd among tight ends in red zone targets. Cincy has allowed the fourth-most receiving yards per game and the second-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Jalen Nailor

Dalton Kincaid
TE - BUF (at LAR)
Kincaid has been limited all week in practice (knee) and listed as questionable. Kincaid is the TE19 in fantasy points per game this season, with only three TE1 weeks in weekly fantasy scoring. He has an 18.2% target share, 1.75 YPRR, and a 19.4% first-read share. In his ten games played, he has eight deep targets and eight red zone looks. He could flirt with TE1 value this week if he sees a decent route share in his first game back. The Rams have allowed the eighth-most receiving yards per game and fantasy points per game to tight ends.
|
|
136.
Andrei Iosivas
WR - CIN (at DAL)
In the seven games Tee Higgins has played this season, Iosivas has had only an 8.4% target share, 1.24 YPRR (33.9 receiving yards per game), and a 7.7% first-read share. In that span, he has finished as a WR3 or higher in weekly scoring only twice (WR22, WR31) while drawing three red zone targets. Iosivas enters the fringe of flex-worthiness this week only because Dallas has been dreadful against slot receivers. Since Week 8, they have allowed the 13th-most fantasy points per game and the second-most PPR points per target to the position.
