Michael Carter Note
	32. Michael Carter RB - (BYE) Michael Carter is a flex/RB2 play this week. Last week, he played 53.6% of the snaps with a 51.5% route share, finishing with 11 carries and 65 total yards. Over the last two games, he has averaged 14.5 touches and 70 total yards. Carter got most of the backfield work last week, but Emari Demercado was also involved, and Corey Kiner had both of the team's red zone rushing attempts. I mention it to highlight that Carter isn't the safest play this week, as Arizona will get other backs involved. Carter hasn't been impressive on a per-touch basis, with only a 6% missed tackle rate and 1.59 yards after contact per attempt. Luckily for Carter, that might not matter against Cincy's horrible run defense. If Carter gets the volume, he should produce nicely. Since Week 12, Cincy has allowed the fourth-most rushing yards per game, the highest explosive run rate, and the fifth-most yards after contact per attempt. 12 weeks ago

Jauan Jennings Note
	44. Jauan Jennings WR - (BYE) Since Week 9, Jauan Jennings has been the WR18 in fantasy points per game with a 19.5% target share, 50.6 receiving yards per game, 1.85 yards per route run, and a 28.5% first-read share. In those seven games, Jennings has had seven scores, 11 red zone targets, and four deep targets. Jennings has a tough matchup this week, but I wouldn't be shocked if he overcame it with a nice stat line. Since Week 12, Chicago has allowed the eighth-fewest PPR points per target and the eighth-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. 12 weeks ago

Stefon Diggs Note
	55. Stefon Diggs WR - (BYE) Last week, Stefon Diggs saw his route share bump to 78.4%, which was the first game he had more than a 58.6% route share since Week 11. With the Patriots being big-time favorites this week, I expect the Patriots to give him a route share in the 50-60% range this week. Diggs is the WR27 in fantasy points per game with a 20% target share, 57.9 receiving yards per game, 2.39 yards per route run, and a 22.2% first-read share. Diggs has had 11 red zone targets and ten deep targets. Since Week 12, the Jets have allowed the 14th-highest passer rating when targeted to perimeter wide receivers while ranking 15th in receiving yards per game. 12 weeks ago

Deebo Samuel Sr. Note
	66. Deebo Samuel Sr. WR - (BYE)

Darren Waller Note
	105. Darren Waller TE - (BYE) Last week, Darren Waller saw his route share dip to 51.6% with a 16.7% target share, 40 receiving yards, 2.50 yards per route run, and a 17.4% first-read share. Waller is essentially the Dalton Kincaid of South Beach now. He's locked in a run-first offense with a part-time role in the offense. In his last four games, Waller has had three red zone targets and four deep targets. That's enough high cholesterol usage and efficiency to propel Waller to a TE1 finish this week, but there's risk here. There's no doubt about that. Since Week 10, Tampa Bay has allowed the sixth-most yards per target and the fifth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends. 12 weeks ago

Taysom Hill Note
	114. Taysom Hill TE - (BYE) Last week was a vintage Taysom Hill game as he had his highest snap rate of the season (43.6%) while catching four passes for 36 yards, chucking a 38-yard pass for a touchdown, and running the ball 12 times for 42 yards on the ground. Hill finished last week as the TE8 in fantasy. Hill could easily be a TE1 again this week with his Swiss army knife usage. 12 weeks ago
