Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 14 Half PPR Rankings

9.
Jahmyr Gibbs
RB - (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.

Amon-Ra St. Brown
WR - (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.

20.
David Montgomery
RB - (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.

Jameson Williams
WR - (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.

Sam LaPorta
TE - (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.
