Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 14 PPR Rankings
|
1.
De'Von Achane
RB - MIA (at NYJ)
Achane has three straight games of 120 or more rushing yards. Considering the state of the Dolphins, this is incredible. This isn't surprising, as Achane has been nothing short of outstanding all season. He does not have a game finishing lower than the RB16 in the week, and has eight games inside the top 12. This week, he faces the Jets who have thrown in the towell on the season. After trading away their best defensive players, this is a matchup you want to target for fantasy. Last week, Bijan Robinson was just shy of 200 total yards and scored a touchdown. They also allowed Tyler Allgeier to rack up 55 yards and a score as well. Continue riding one of the most consistent players in fantasy, who also has week-winning upside each game.

Jahmyr Gibbs
RB - DET (vs . DAL)
With the Bears sitting atop the NFC, dropping both games to the Packers may be detrimental to the Lions' playoff chances. Two games back of the Bears and a game back of the Packers, the Lions have a key matchup against the red-hot Cowboys this week. Coming off two huge wins against the Eagles and Chiefs, the Cowboys' defense is not the easy matchup from earlier this season. Since Week 10, the Cowboys have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to the RB position. Over this stretch, they have allowed fewer than 40 rushing yards per game; the next lowest are the Jaguars with 57 yards per game. The good news is that the Cowboys know how to put up points and should make this a game led by both offenses. Even in a tough matchup, any high-scoring game with the Lions is fantasy gold for Gibbs.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba
WR - SEA (at ATL)
Last week's game against the Vikings was not what anyone wanted to see. Unless you are a Seattle fan and love defense, this game was ugly from start to finish. As a result, no one got home for fantasy. This includes JSN, who was on track to beat the all-time receiving yards record, before his two catch, 23-yard performance last week. With how great he has been all season, take the Men in Black approach and erase this from your memory. Moving forward, he has three solid matchups, starting with the Falcons. After starting the year with a decent defense, the Falcons just allowed Adonai Mitchell to have eight catches for 102 yards and a score. That should tell you all you need to know about this matchup. JSN remains one of the best receivers of the season.

4.
Jonathan Taylor
RB - IND (at JAC)
Since their bye week, the Colts have lost back-to-back games and lost control of the division. Corresponding to these losses are two of Taylor's worst games of the season. There is likely a strong correlation between Taylor's production and losing games, but unfortunately, the schedule doesn't get any easier. This week, they have a massive game against the division-leading Jaguars, who have been great against running backs lately. Since Week 10, they are allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to the RB position and the second-fewest rushing yards per game. This game is massive for both teams, and based on this season, the Colts need Taylor to get going if they want to win.

Ja'Marr Chase
WR - CIN (at BUF)
2024's triple crown winner is back with his best friend under center. Last week's performance against the Ravens may not have been the massive fantasy game we've seen in the past. However, 14 targets for seven catches and 110 yards is a great day at the office regardless. If the Bengals want to make the postseason, they need to win out. That starts this week against the Bills with a great game between Josh Allen and Joe Burrow. The Bills have been stout against opposing passing offenses lately, and weakest against the run. That said, you don't need me to tell you that Josh Allen going against the Bengals defense will force the pass-happy Bengals ot air it out all season. Even in a below-average matchup, the Chase-Burrow connection keeps him atop the wideout rankings this week.
|
|
6.
James Cook III
RB - BUF (vs . CIN)
The Bills set the record for the most rushing yards against the Steelers for any road team. Combining for 250 rushing yards, Cook led the way with 32 carries for 144 yards. He was also their leading receiver, catching three passes for 33 yards. There aren't many backs on great offenses that are trusted to have 32 carries, but Cook is one of them. If you thought it couldn't get better, think again. This week, they have a huge game at home against Joe Burrow and the Bengals. With the Patriots rolling, every game is big for the Bills, and a game against the worst defense in the league is exactly what fantasy players want to see. On the season, the Bengals are allowing three more fantasy points per game than any other team against opposing RBs. Cook is a top-end RB in a great matchup this week.
|
|
7.
Bijan Robinson
RB - ATL (vs . SEA)
Despite losing another goalline score to Tyler Allgeier, Bijan Robinson had another great performance. With 142 yards and a score on the ground, and 51 yards receiving, he almost hit 200 scrimmage yards for the second time this season. With the Falcons' season officially in shambles, this team will be doing everything they can to make sure their first-round pick (which the Rams possess) is not in the top 10. As a result, this is one of the few bottom-dwelling teams that is actively trying to win games. With a tough matchup against the Seahawks this week, Robinson's usage and yardage totals keep him as a top-end RB1. However, fantasy managers should be salivating seeing the Buccaneers and Cardinals on tap in weeks 15 and 16.
|
|
8.
Puka Nacua
WR - LAR (at ARI)
Expectations need to be altered for Nacua, but not necessarily in a bad way. Sure, he does not have the top-end upside that we saw at the start of the season. However, he is one of the most consistently productive receivers for fantasy. We also saw him make a ridiculous grab last week, showcasing his ability to make jaw-dropping plays. With Davante Adams and Matthew Stafford looking like prime Aaron Rodgers and Adams, Nacua has been held out of the endzone for three consecutive weeks. Thankfully, he has averaged 6.4 receptions and 80 yards over his last five games. He remains one of the best receivers in the league, but has become the best WR2 you could ask for. It's only a matter of time before we see him find pay dirt once again, providing fantasy managers with a WR1 week.
|
|
9.
CeeDee Lamb
WR - DAL (at DET)
The Cowboys are riding high after taking down both teams featured in last year's Super Bowl in consecutive weeks. Finding the endzone for the third time this season and second time over the last three weeks, Lamb is heating up at the right time for fantasy. The fact that he was able to have seven catches for 112 yards and a score against a difficult Chiefs defense gets him back into the top-end WR conversation. This week, they face the Lions, who were torched by Jordan Love for four touchdowns last week. With Dontayvion Wicks and Christian Watson combining for 174 yards and three touchdowns, there will be plenty to go around for both Lamb and George Pickens. CeeDee is primed for another huge performance on Thursday this week.
|
|
10.
Rashee Rice
WR - KC (vs . HOU)
It's not often a receiver has 12 targets and eight catches in back-to-back games. That's currently what Rice has done, totalling 233 yards and two scores over his last two games. Since returning from his suspension for causing a multicar collision and fleeing the scene, he has been this team's undisputed top target. The Chiefs have their work cut out for them after dropping a game to Dallas and keeping them outside the playoff picture. This week, they face another horse in the wild-card race. The Texans have been rolling, bolstering arguably the best defense in the league. With Dereck Stingley Jr. likely covering Rice, it is one of the toughest matchups in the league. As a result, Rice remains a WR1, and we have to trust Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid to scheme up a few big plays for Rice.
|
|
11.
George Pickens
WR - DAL (at DET)
For what seems to be the first time this season, CeeDee Lamb outperformed Pickens. Regardless of who is out-producing who, these two receivers are incredible and linked to the hottest offense in the league. This week, they have a great opportunity against the Lions on Thursday Night Football. The Lions just allowed Jordan Love to have four passing touchdowns, with Dontayvion Wicks and Christian Watson combining for 174 yards and three touchdowns. There should be plenty to go around in what is projected to be one of the highest-scoring games of the season. Pickens has seen seven straight games with over 75 receiving yards, and has over 140 yards in two of his last three. Both Lamb and Pickens are locked in WR1s in this incredible matchup.

|
12.
Josh Jacobs
RB - GB (vs . CHI)
If you've been riding Jacobs all year, you know there was always the possibility that the touchdowns would slow down. When that happens, his inefficient running makes him a solid RB2 rather than an RB1. The good news is that he is always live to score a touchdown regardless of the matchup. Despite scoring 31 points last week, all the scores came through the air. This left Jacobs with a respectable 17 carries for 83 yards and one catch for eight yards. It was also good to see Jacobs immediately dominate touches after Emmanuel Wilson had a huge game in his absence. This week, face the Bears in a game that could decide the division. The top seed in the NFC, the Bears have been rolling. The Bears' defense is stepping up, allowing the 11th fewest fantasy points to the RB position over the last four weeks. This includes the fifth fewest rushing touchdowns to the RB position over that span. Jacobs is a low-end RB1, with the potential to find pay dirt and crack the top five.

|
13.
Trey McBride
TE - ARI (vs . LAR)
This stretch of fantasy performances for Trey McBride is incredibly good. His consistency in yards and receptions is reminiscent of Tyler Higbee's five-game stretch to close out 2019. If you don't remember that, I'll remind you that he had 56 targets, 43 receptions, 522 yards, and two scores over five games. Outside of that little blast from the past, there isn't much else to say other than McBride is a fantasy star with Brissett under center. He has seven touchdowns in his last seven games, has only finished lower than the TE3 once in the last seven games (he was TE6), and has eight or more receptions in six of seven games. This week, they face the Rams, who bolster a tough pass rush. The Rams are allowing the 13th fewest fantasy points to the position, but that is only a red flag for TEs not named McBride.
|
|
14.
Davante Adams
WR - LAR (at ARI)
This is incredible. If anyone doesn't believe football can be art, they need to watch Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams in the red zone. Move over Mona Lisa, because the Louvre needs to make room for a highlight reel of these two at work. Reminiscent of prime Aaron Rodgers and Adams, these two are leading the league in passing touchdowns and receiving touchdowns. Typically, when a player has scored in all but three games on the season, they are risky for fantasy. However, this is one of those special situations alongside LaGarrette Blount's 18 touchdowns in 2016, Jimmy Graham's 10 touchdowns in 2017, Eric Ebron's 13 touchdowns in 2018, Jamaal Williams' 17 touchdowns in 2022, you get the point. With eight or more targets in all but three games, Adams also provides a decent yardage floor in case he fails to convert in the red zone. Embrace the fact that not all touchdown production is equivalent, and continue to play Adams as a WR1 each week.

15.
Bucky Irving
RB - TB (vs . NO)
Last week, Bucky Irving returned and immediately cemented himself as the clear lead back again. He played 54.4% of the snaps with a 24.2% route share, 17 of 21 running back carries, and all three of the team's red zone rushing attempts. Irving finished with 19 touches and 81 total yards as the RB15 for the week. I expect his snap count to rise further this week with some more passing game involvement. Last week, Irving didn't break any explosive runs and had only 1.59 yards after contact per attempt, but he did have a 41% missed tackle rate (WOW!), so I expect his efficiency numbers to climb moving forward. Since Week 9, the Saints have allowed the sixth-most rushing yards per game, the eighth-highest missed tackle rate, and the eighth-most yards before contact per attempt.
|
|
16.
Breece Hall
RB - NYJ (vs . MIA)
Breece Hall is the RB16 in fantasy points per game, averaging 18.1 touches and 79.8 total yards. Among 55 qualifying backs, he ranks third in explosive run rate and 14th in missed tackles forced per attempt. Hall might not have a ceiling week, but he should be able to turn in serviceable RB2 numbers this week. Since Week 9, Miami has allowed the 14th-most rushing yards per game, the 13th-highest yards after contact per attempt, the ninth-highest rushing success rate to zone runs (Hall 69.5% zone), and ranked 18th in explosive run rate.
|
|
17.
Chase Brown
RB - CIN (at BUF)
Do we want the good news or the bad news? Let's start with the good. Chase Brown had his third straight 100-yard game. With Joe Burrow back, the entire offense takes a step forward for fantasy. That includes Brown's pass-catching prowess, finishing with seven catches for 35 yards last week. The bad? Samaje Perine had 14 carries to Brown's 15. Although Brown managed to rush for 78 yards compared to Perine's 39, this is not the split fantasy managers want to see. After Perine missed the last few weeks with an ankle injury, his immediate involvement is very intriguing. This week, they take on the Bills, who have struggled against the run all season. In a game that has shootout potential, Brown continues to be an RB1. However, keep an eye out for Perine's involvement moving forward.
|
|
18.
Quinshon Judkins
RB - CLE (vs . TEN)
So the Browns are one of the most put-together messes in the league. This amalgamation of defensive player of the year Myles Garrett, rookie sensation Judkins, and the always humble Shedeur Sanders makes them the reality TV equivalent of the NFL. For fantasy, Judkins has been a steady RB2, relying on great volume and limited passing upside each week. This week, they face the Titans, who have struggled against the run this season. However, last week, they held Bayshul Tuten and Travis Etienne to a combined 45 rushing yards. This game is not even close to must-watch TV. In fact, this isn't even must-listen radio. Play Judkins as an RB2 and trust that he'll get the volume in a good matchup to have another solid fantasy performance.

Nico Collins
WR - HOU (at KC)

20.
Derrick Henry
RB - BAL (vs . PIT)
December Derrick is undefeated. Every year, we see Henry carry fantasy teams through the holiday season. With Lamar Jackson looking like a shadow of himself, Henry may be more important than ever if the Ravens want to make the postseason. This week, they have a massive matchup against the Steelers. On the season, the Steelers have been in the top half of the league against fantasy RBs. However, last week, the Bills dominated them with 249 rushing yards. 144 of those came from James Cook, who was given 32 carries. If James Cook can have that kind of day, Henry's managers should be salivating ahead of this game. Having said that, the Steelers have always been one of those teams that find ways to fix their flaws, especially after a historically bad outing. Expect a big game for the king, but don't be surprised if Mike Tomlin sells out against the run after last week's embarrassing performance.

Amon-Ra St. Brown
WR - DET (vs . DAL)

22.
Jaylen Waddle
WR - MIA (at NYJ)
The Dolphins have been one of the weirdest teams to try and predict this season. With bad vibes coming out of the team starting in summer training camp, this entire season has seemed like a write-off. Thankfully, De'Von Achane has been a fantasy force, and Waddle is having a very productive season. After three straight games of 80-plus yards, his last two games have combined for six receptions and 92 yards. It may be a mini-slump for the veteran wideout, but his role on this offense keeps him in the high-end WR2 conversation. This week, they take on the Jets, who have traded away their best defenders. It's difficult to predict a big game for Waddle, but he should be just fine for fantasy in Week 14.
|
|
23.
Michael Wilson
WR - ARI (vs . LAR)
With Marvin Harrison Jr. and Greg Dortch out this week, the Cardinals' passing attack will again be all the Michael Wilson and Trey McBride that the Rams can handle. In Weeks 11-12, when Wilson was living in a similar situation, he finished as the WR1 and WR9 in weekly scoring, commanding a 30.8% target share with a 53.9% air-yard share, 151.5 receiving yards per game, 3.16 yards per route run, and a 38.6% first-read share. In those two games, he had five deep targets and two red zone targets. Wilson is upgraded to a STRONG WR2 this week. This week, Wilson has an average to below-average matchup depending upon how you look at it. Since Week 9, the Rams have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game and ranked 18th in receiving yards per game against perimeter wide receivers.

Kyren Williams
RB - LAR (at ARI)
|
|
25.
Saquon Barkley
RB - PHI (at LAC)
It has been a disappointing season all around for Saquon Barkley as the RB15 in fantasy points per game. He has only one week with at least 100 rushing yards (vs. NYG) and only three games with at least 80 rushing yards. Barkley has averaged 19.4 touches and 83.3 total yards per game. Among 55 qualifying backs, he ranks 26th in explosive run rate, 35th in missed tackle rate, and 43rd in yards after contact per attempt. He's a volume play weekly, but he could have a nice game this week. The Bolts' run defense has been dramatically overrated all season. Since Week 9, they have allowed the fourth-highest missed tackle rate, the tenth-highest rushing success rate, and had the ninth-lowest stuff rate.
|
|
26.
Chris Olave
WR - NO (at TB)
Olave is the WR10 on the season. Considering he has been working with Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough, his resurgent season hasn't been getting enough credit. Sitting in second in the league with 115 targets, Olave has been one of the most consistent fantasy producers. Despite the rest of this offense being held together with Duct Tape, Olave has only had one game since Week 6 with fewer than 10 fantasy points. With only one game over 20 fantasy points, his highs aren't week-winning, but his lows are never detrimental to your fantasy week. As a result, keep playing Olave as a top-end WR2.

Jameson Williams
WR - DET (vs . DAL)

28.
A.J. Brown
WR - PHI (at LAC)
The Eagles have finally admitted that their run game is not working. It only took over 10 games and losing their Hall of Fame tackle, Lane Johnson to get there, but they are officially a pass-first team. It's no surprise that with this change, Brown has had two of is best games of the season. With 22 targets, 18 receptions, 242 yards, and three scores over his last two games, Brown is back to being a fantasy star. Thankfully, their matchups into the fantasy playoffs are very friendly to receivers. However, they start with the Chargers this week, who have allowed the fewest fantasy points to the position on the season. It's a tough matchup for the Eagles' passing offense, however, Brown has been on fire and has the physical ability to turn any play into a house call. Continue riding his resurgence into the fantasy playoffs.

Javonte Williams
RB - DAL (at DET)

30.
Emeka Egbuka
WR - TB (vs . NO)
Emeka Egbuka has had a slump recently. Since Week 6, he has finished as a top 24 wide receiver in weekly scoring only once. That includes his last meeting with New Orleans, where he secured only three of his nine targets for 35 scoreless receiving yards as the WR55 for the week. Overall, Egbuka has a 24.9% target share with 65.9 receiving yards per game, 2.04 yards per route run, and a 30.7% first-read share. Egbuka leads the Bucs with 13 red zone targets and 14 deep targets. This week, he has a rematch with a Saints' secondary that, since Week 3, has utilized single high at the sixth-highest rate (58.9%). Since Week 6, Egbuka's struggles have been against two high as he has CRUSHED single high with a 33.9% target share with 2.23 yards per route run and a 41.5% first-read share. This is a wonderful spot for Egbuka to bounce back. Since Week 9, New Orleans has allowed the second-most PPR points per target and the 14th-most receiving yards to perimeter wide receivers.

31.
RJ Harvey
RB - DEN (at LV)
Since Week 11, RJ Harvey has averaged 53.1% of the snaps with a 28.1% route share and an 8.4% target share. In those two games, he has averaged 15 touches and 58 total yards as the RB37 and RB2 in weekly scoring. Among 55 qualifying backs, he ranks 40th in explosive run rate and 15th in missed tackle rate. Harvey should have another solid game this week against a middle-of-the-road Raiders run defense. Since Week 9, Las Vegas has ranked 16th in rushing yards per game, 18th in rushing success rate, and has given up the sixth-highest missed tackle rate.
|
|
32.
Justin Jefferson
WR - MIN (vs . WAS)
In J.J. McCarthy's six starts, Justin Jefferson has finished as a top-24 wide receiver in weekly scoring twice (WR18, WR20. In that sample, he has had a 30.8% target share with 53 receiving yards per game, 1.77 yards per route run, and a 38% first-read share. In those six games, he has had seven red zone targets and eight deep targets. Since Week 11, Washington has utilized two high at the highest rate in the NFL (64.8%). With McCarthy against two high, Jefferson has still led the team with a 25.6% target share and 28% first-read share. If McCarthy can show a pulse this week (I know it's a big IF), Jefferson could have a big bounce-back game. Since Week 9, Washington has allowed the most PPR points per target and the ninth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
33.
Brock Bowers
TE - LV (vs . DEN)
Despite his second-lowest target total of the season, Bowers had his second-best fantasy performance of the season. Catching all four targets for 63 yards and two scores, we were all reminded why Bowers is one of the league's best at the position. It's hard to trust the Raiders offense, however, Bowers sees enough targets each week to guarantee a solid fantasy floor. This week, the Raiders face the Broncos for the second time in five weeks. Last time, the Broncos held Bowers to one reception on three targets. Although the weather was not great in that game, the Broncos are one of the league's best defenses. This week, Bowers should outproduce their last meeting; however, we are once again betting on Geno Smith against the Broncos' defense.
|
|
34.
DeVonta Smith
WR - PHI (at LAC)
DeVonta Smith is the WR20 in fantasy points per game with a 25.4% target share, 66.8 receiving yards per game, 2.13 yards per route run, and a 31.9% first-read share. Smith is second on the team in red zone targets (seven) and leads Philly in deep targets (18). Since Week 6, the Bolts have had a second-highest two high rate (62.7%). Against two high, Smith has had a 25.7% target share with 2.15 yards per route run and a 32% first-read share. He leads the team in each of those categories. Smith should lead the way for Philly's passing attack this week. Since Week 9, the Bolts have allowed the 13th-fewest PPR points per target to slot receivers while also giving up the 14th-highest passer rating to slot receivers. Since Week 9, they have faced the second-fewest slot targets in the NFL, so we're working with a small sample here and differing info. This should be viewed as a neutral matchup for Smith.
|
|
35.
Jaylen Warren
RB - PIT (at BAL)
Jaylen Warren is the RB20 in fantasy points per game. Last week, he resumed his lead-back duties even though he had a down game. Warren played 55.8% of the snaps with ten of the 15 running back rushing attempts, with a 52% route share. He finished with 12 touches and 44 total yards while splitting the red zone role with Gainwell. Each back had one red zone rushing attempt. Among 55 qualifying backs, Warren is fourth in missed tackle rate and tenth in yards after contact per attempt. He gets another plus matchup this week. Since Week 9, Baltimore has allowed the fifth-highest explosive run rate, the 12th-highest missed tackle rate, and the 11th-highest yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
36.
Kenneth Walker III
RB - SEA (at ATL)
Last week's blowout win for Seattle led to muddy snap counts for the backfield again. In the first half, Walker was leading the way with a 54.5% snap rate and 42.1% route share, but he only played one snap out of six possible snaps in the red zone. Seattle remains committed to using Zach Charbonnet as their red zone back. Since Week 11, Walker has averaged 16.3 touches and 95.4 total yards as the RB15 in fantasy points per game. Overall, among 55 qualifying backs, Walker ranks second in explosive run rate and fifth in missed tackle rate. Walker is in a good spot to continue his RB2 production this week. Since Week 9, Atlanta has allowed the fifth-most rushing yards per game, the ninth-highest rushing success rate, the 13th-most yards before contact per attempt, and they have logged the fifth-lowest stuff rate.
|
|
37.
Ashton Jeanty
RB - LV (vs . DEN)
Ashton Jeanty is the RB11 in fantasy points per game with 18.7 touches and 73.8 total yards per game. His offensive line has crushed his rushing output, but his passing game usage has been saving him weekly. Jeanty has eight targets in each of his last three games. Since Week 9, he has had an 18.3% target share with 33 receiving yards per game, 1.30 yards per route run, and a 12.8% first-read share. Among 55 qualifying backs, he ranks tenth in missed tackle rate and 35th in yards after contact per attempt. Jeanty will have to lean on volume and his receiving prowess again this week. Since Week 9, Denver has remained a nasty run defense, allowing the third-fewest rushing yards per game, the lowest explosive run rate, the 12th-lowest missed tackle rate, and the 12th-lowest yards after contact per attempt.

38.
Michael Pittman Jr.
WR - IND (at JAC)
Michael Pittman Jr. is the WR16 in fantasy points per game, drawing a 20.9% target share with 51.7 receiving yards per game, 1.74 yards per route run, and a 24.7% first-read share. He is tied for second on the team with ten red zone targets and six deep targets. This week, Pittman should lead the way for the Indy passing attack against the two high heavy Jags pass defense. Since Week 10, Jacksonville has ranked fifth in two high rate (58.8%). Against two high, Pittman has led the team with a 22.5% target share with 2.10 yards per route run and a 28.1% first-read share. Since Week 9, the Jags have allowed the tenth-most fantasy points per game and the 11th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
39.
Ladd McConkey
WR - LAC (vs . PHI)
Ladd McConkey is the WR21 in fantasy points per game. McConkey has a 21.8% target share with 56.9 receiving yards per game, 1.68 yards per route run, and a 22.3% first-read share. He is tied for the team lead with 13 red zone targets while ranking third in deep targets with nine. Since Week 7, Philly has utilized two high at the fourth-highest rate (56.3%). Against two high, McConkey has led the way with a 22.4% target share and a 25% first-read share while posting only 1.38 yards per route run. The lack of per-route efficiency from McConkey is concerning, and with the corner matchup, it's tough to expect a monster game from him. Since Week 9, Philly has limited slot receivers to the lowest PPR points per target and the lowest passer rating when targeted.
|
|
40.
Travis Etienne Jr.
RB - JAC (vs . IND)
Travis Etienne is the RB16 in fantasy points per game, averaging 17.2 touches and 84.7 total yards. Among backs, he ranks 13th in snap share, 11th in weighted opportunities, and fourth in red zone touches. Among 55 qualifying backs, he ranks 29th in explosive run rate and 31st in yards after contact per attempt. Etienne has been a boring volume play pretty much the entire season, with his last 100-yard rushing game coming in Week 4, which feels like a lifetime ago. His passing game usage hasn't done much to help his ceiling and floor this season, as he has had more than four receptions or 30 receiving yards only once. Eitenne will need a touchdown and all the volume he can handle this week to walk away with a strong fantasy day. Since Week 9, Indy has allowed the third-lowest explosive run rate, the 12th-fewest rushing yards per game, the fourth-lowest missed tackle rate, and the fifth-fewest yards after contact per attempt.

41.
Zay Flowers
WR - BAL (vs . PIT)
Zay Flowers is the WR31 in fantasy points per game with a 26.2% target share, 63.9 receiving yards per game, 2.22 yards per route run, and a 31.7% first-read share. He has six red zone targets and 12 deep targets. Last week was the first game he hasn't hit double-digit PPR points since Week 6. Flowers has been living in the low-end WR2/high-end WR3 bucket for most of the season. This week, he faces a Pittsburgh pass defense that has utilized single high at the fifth-highest rate (59.8%). Against single high, Flowers has seen his target share increase to 28.4% with 2.66 yards per route run and a 32.7% first-read share. Flowers is a solid flex/WR3 this week despite Jackson's struggles. Since Week 9, Pittsburgh has allowed the 13th-most fantasy points per game and ranked 16th in receiving yards per game against perimeter wide receivers.

Tyler Warren
TE - IND (at JAC)
Despite a very strong rookie season, Warren has slowed down a little for fantasy. This may be a result of Daniel Jones playing with a broken leg, or the fact that they have played three of the top six defenses against the position over their last three games. Either way, the road ahead couldn't get much better. This stretch starts with the Jaguars, who are allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the position. Warren has been the most consistent target on this offense all season. With the Jaguars allowing the fourth most yards and second touchdowns to opposing TEs on the season, Warren should be right back as a top end option for fantasy.

43.
Tee Higgins
WR - CIN (at BUF)
Tee Higgins has cleared the concussion protocol and will be back this week. Higgins is the WR22 in fantasy points per game with a 16.5% target share, 1.55 yards per route run, and a 23.2% first-read share. Higgins is second on the team with nine red zone targets and 14 deep targets. The Bills have the sixth-highest rate of two high (55.3%) this season. Against two high, Higgins has seen his numbers dwindle with a 13.8% target share, 1.28 yards per route run, and a 20.9% first-read share. Higgins could pay off with a touchdown, but I don't think this is a ceiling game for him. Since Week 9, Buffalo has limited perimeter wide receivers to the fourth-fewest PPR points per target and the eighth-fewest receiving yards per game.

Jakobi Meyers
WR - JAC (vs . IND)
Last week, Meyers led the team with a 22.2% target share, 90 receiving yards, 3.10 yards per route run, and a 35.3% first-read share. He had one red zone target and one deep target as the WR11 for the week. Since Week 11, he has had a 22.8% first-read share, 68 receiving yards per game, 2.65 yards per route run, and a 27.8% first-read share. In those three games, he has had four red zone targets and one deep target. Since Week 10, Indy has utilized single high at the sixth-highest rate (62.3%). Since Week 11, against single high, Meyers has had a 23.1% target share, 2.02 yards per route run, and a 29.6% first-read share. Meyers should lead the Jaguars' passing attack this week. Indy has ranked 15th in PPR points per target allowed to perimeter wide receivers while also giving up the 13th-most receiving yards per game to the position.

Christian Watson
WR - GB (vs . CHI)
Since Week 11, Christian Watson has taken off as Green Bay's clear WR1 and the WR12 in fantasy points per game. Since Week 11, Watson has led the team with an 82.4% route share, a 28.2% target share, 58.3 receiving yards per game, 2.50 yards per route run, and a 36% first-read share. Since Week 6, Chicago has utilized single high at the 12th-highest rate (53.8%). Since Week 10, against single high, Watson has had a 25.4% target share with 2.04 yards per route run and a 31.6% first-read share. Watson should crush again this week. Since Week 9, Chicago has allowed the tenth-most PPR points per target and the second-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Terry McLaurin
WR - WAS (at MIN)
Last week, Terry McLaurin LOUDLY announced his return to the starting lineup for Washington with a WR8 finish while seeing a 28% target share with a 36.1% air-yard share, 96 receiving yards (3.00 yards per route run), and a 27.5% first-read share. He had five red zone targets and two deep targets. I don't think McLaurin stays in the flames this week. Minnesota has utilized two high at the highest rate in the NFL (66.4%). Against two high this season, McLaurin has had a 14.3% target share with 1.76 yards per route run and a 15.8% first-read share. Since Week 9, Minnesota has allowed the eighth-fewest PPR points per target and the seventh-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
47.
Khalil Shakir
WR - BUF (vs . CIN)
Khalil Shakir is the only fantasy viable wide receiver to discuss with the Bills, right now. Last week, only Shakir and Gabe Davis crossed the 50% route share mark. If you were to tell me that Shakir was the only Bills' wide receiver to surpass that line this week, I wouldn't be surprised at all. Shakir is the WR41 in fantasy points per game with a 20.5% target share with 47.4 receiving yards per game, 1.91 yards per route run, and a 23.9% first-read share. Shakir leads the team with ten red zone targets while also kicking in five deep targets. Shakir offers solid flex appeal against a Bengals team that will force Buffalo to pass more than they probably want to. Since Week 9, Cincy has allowed the eighth-most PPR points per target and receiving yards per game to slot receivers.

48.
Travis Kelce
TE - KC (vs . HOU)
Kelce's resurgent season has been shockingly consistent. Even with the return of Rashee Rice, Kelce has finished in the top 10 at the position in six of his last eight games. Over his last five games, he has scored at least 10 points in all but one game. He has done this through a steady mix of yards and touchdowns, scoring only three times in his last seven games. It may not be the fantasy-breaking performances of old, but Kelce is back to a locked-in TE1 each week. This week, they face the Texans, who allow the fifth-fewest fantasy points to the position. This game has massive playoff implications for both teams. With their backs against the wall, we know Mahomes looks to his trusty TE in these situations. As a result, Kelce remains a steady TE play behind only Trey Mcbride, Brock Bowers, and Tyler Warren this week.

49.
Courtland Sutton
WR - DEN (at LV)
Courtland Sutton is the WR24 in fantasy points per game with 14 deep targets and ten red zone targets. He had a nice bounce-back game last week as the WR16, which was his first top 24 finish in weekly scoring since Week 7. This week, he faces a Raiders' secondary that, since Week 9, has utilized single high at the third-highest rate (63.8%). Since Week 7, against single high, Sutton has ranked second on the team with a 19.1% target share, second in yards per route run with 2.60, and second in first-read share with 22.1%. Sutton should have another strong game against a Raiders' secondary that, since Week 9, has allowed the eighth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

50.
Woody Marks
RB - HOU (at KC)
Since Week 10, Marks has been an RB3 who is getting an RB2 workload. Since Week 10, he has been the RB36 in fantasy points per game, but he has been averaging 67.1% of the snaps with 18.1 touches and 67.1 total yards. Among 55 qualifying backs, he ranks 20th in explosive run rate and 37th in yards after contact per attempt. Marks has a horrible matchup this week and will need a touchdown to pay off as an RB2. Since Week 9, Kansas City has allowed the eighth-fewest rushing yards per game, the 11th-fewest yards after contact per attempt, and had the ninth-best stuff rate.
|

51.
D'Andre Swift
RB - CHI (at GB)
Last week, the Bears ran the ball down the Eagles' throats with success and hid their young quarterback. I could see Ben Johnson deploying a similar attack plan this week. Last week, Swift played 52.9% of the snaps with a 47.5% route share. He had one of five red zone rushing attempts and finished with 19 touches and 138 total yards. Overall, he his the RB13 in fantasy points per game. Among 55 qualifying backs, Swift ranks eighth in explosive run rate and 16th in missed tackle rate. Since Week 9, Green Bay's run defense has displayed some give, ranking 15th in explosive run rate while allowing the 11th-most rushing yards per game and the 14th-highest yards before contact per attempt.
|
|
52.
DK Metcalf
WR - PIT (at BAL)
DK Metcalf is the WR32 in fantasy points per game with a 21% target share, 50.4 receiving yards per game, 1.79 yards per route run, and a 26.9% first-read share. Metcalf has nine red zone targets and 13 deep targets this season. With Aaron Rodgers not healthy and struggling, Metcalf hasn't surpassed 50 receiving yards in a game since Week 8. This week, he gets a nice schematic matchup, but I don't know if he'll be able to take advantage of it with the state of Rodgers and how well the Ravens' secondary is playing. Since Week 11, Baltimore has the fourth-highest single high rate (66.1%). Against single high, Metcalf has had a 27.8% target share with 1.85 yards per route run and a 33.3% first-read share. The problem for Metcalf is that since Week 9 has ranked 15th in receiving yards per game against perimeter wide receivers while also limiting the position to the second-fewest PPR points per target.

53.
Adonai Mitchell
WR - NYJ (vs . MIA)
Last week, Adonai Mitchell finally had a boom game which you could see coming from a mile away with the market share and the matchup that he had last week. It was wonderful to still see it come to fruition. Last week, Mitchell was the WR5 in fantasy with a 36.4% target share, a 59.8% air-yard share, 102 receiving yards (2.83 yards per route run), and a 50% first-read share. He had two red zone targets and two deep targets. Since Week 11, Mitchell has had a 28.4% target share, a 61.4% air-yard share, and a 41.8% first-read share with four red zone targets and seven deep targets. He has been operating as the team's clear WR1. He could easily continue the hot streak this week against a Miami secondary that, since Week 9, has allowed the ninth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
54.
Deebo Samuel Sr.
WR - WAS (at MIN)
Deebo Samuel is the WR15 in fantasy points per game with six deep targets and ten red zone targets this season. Across the last two games, he has finished as the WR5 and WR32 in weekly scoring. This week's matchup with Minnesota leans in his direction as the focal point for the passing offense along with Zach Ertz. Minnesota has utilized two high at the highest rate in the NFL (66.4%). Against two high, Samuel has had a 26.4% target share with 2.54 yards per route run and a 30.5% first-read share. Since Week 9, Minnesota has allowed the 12th-most PPR points per target and the tenth-highest passer rating when targeted to slot receivers.
|
|
55.
Alec Pierce
WR - IND (at JAC)
This doesn't line up well as another strong Alec Pierce week. Pierce has been the Colts' field-stretching single-high destroyer all season. Since Week 10, the Jags have allowed the eighth-lowest passer rating while ranking 16th in adjusted completion rate when defending downfield passing. Also, since Week 10, they have utilized two high at the fifth-highest rate (58.8%). Against two high, Pierce has had an 11.3% target share, 1.44 yards per route run, and a 14.9% first-read share. Working in Pierce's favor is the fact that the Jags have been horrible against perimeter wide receivers recently. Since Week 9, the Jags have allowed the tenth-most fantasy points per game and the 11th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. This could help Pierce pop off with a splash play or two, but I don't believe this is a ceiling game for Pierce.
|
|
56.
Devin Neal
RB - NO (at TB)
Devin Neal will reprise his do-it-all role again in Week 14 with Alvin Kamara out. Last week, Neal played 81.2% of the snaps with 14 of 19 running back rushing attempts, a 68.9% route share, and a 7.9% target share. Last week, while he still didn't break any explosive runs and had only 1.86 yards after contact per attempt, Neal did have a 29% missed tackle rate while logging the most substantial workload of his NFL career. Neal finished with 17 touches and 69 total yards as the RB36 for the week. If he can get into the end zone with a similar stat line in Week 14, he should be a strong RB2. Just for context, if you added just one touchdown to his fantasy production last week, he would have been the RB13 in PPR scoring. The Bucs' run defense has been very hot and cold since Week 9. They have been quite volatile in a number of metrics, which likely adds up to this being a neutral matchup for Neal this week. Since Week 9, the Bucs have allowed the 11th-fewest rushing yards per game, the second-lowest rushing success rate, and the second-fewest yards after contact per attempt, but during that span, they have also given up the 14th-highest explosive run rate, the ninth-highest missed tackle rate, and the third-most yards before contact per attempt.

57.
Brenton Strange
TE - JAC (vs . IND)
Since his return, Strange has been the TE4 and TE7 in weekly scoring. Since Week 12, he has had a 15.8% target share with 69 receiving yards per game, 2.94 yards per route run, and a 15.4% first-read share. In those two games, he had one red zone target and four deep targets. His usage is increasing at the perfect time for a boom game this week. Indy has bled out production to tight ends all season, allowing the second-most receiving yards per game and fantasy points per game to the position.

Aaron Jones Sr.
RB - MIN (vs . WAS)
Aaron Jones left last week's game with a shoulder injury. He practiced on a limited basis all week and doesn't carry an injury designation into this week. In Weeks 10-12, Jones averaged 14.3 touches and 68.3 total yards per game with a 68.3% snap rate as the RB21 in fantasy points per game. Jones is a volume play with a nice matchup. Jones' per-touch numbers have been horrible this season, with a 3% explosive run rate, a 4% missed tackle rate, and 1.78 yards after contact per attempt. Washington's run defense has been porous, so Jones should be able to take advantage this week. Since Week 9, Washington has allowed the fourth-most rushing yards per game, the ninth-highest explosive run rate, the fifth-highest missed tackle rate, and the second-most yards before contact per attempt.

|
61.
Kareem Hunt
RB - KC (vs . HOU)
Last week, even with Isaiah Pacheco back, Hunt retained his lead back role with a 63.6% snap rate, 15 touches, and 70 total yards. He played 75% of the team's red zone snaps. I expect Hunt to keep this role moving forward. Among 55 qualifying backs, Hunt ranks 42nd in missed tackle rate and 27th in yards after contact per attempt. Hunt is best viewed as a volume-fueled flex play this week. Since Week 9, Houston has allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game, the lowest missed tackle rate, the sixth-lowest rushing success rate, and the tenth-fewest yards after contact per attempt.

62.
Zonovan Knight
RB - ARI (vs . LAR)
It's looking unlikely that we will see Trey Benson again this season. He's out this week, and so is Emari Demercado. The Cardinals will lean on the tandem of Zonovan Knight and Michael Carter again this week. Knight is the early down back that can easily get game-scripted out. Since Week 12, Knight has averaged 14 touches and 65 total yards with a 46.7% snap share. In the last two games, he has 21 of 31 running back carries but only a 26% route share despite having an 8.9% target share. Since Week 12, he has led the backfield with two red zone rushing attempts (Carter, one). This isn't a great matchup for Knight this week. Since Week 9, the Rams have allowed the 11th-lowest explosive run rate, the fifth-lowest rushing success rate, the ninth-fewest yards before contact per attempt, and the 13th-fewest rushing yards per game. He'll need a touchdown to pay off for fantasy this week.

Chris Godwin Jr.
WR - TB (vs . NO)
Chris Godwin (WR)
Last week, Chris Godwin saw his route share increase to 60.6% with a 17.9% target share with 78 receiving yards, 3.90 yards per route run, and a 22.2% first-read share. Godwin had two red zone targets and a deep target. Godwin is a solid flex option this week against a Saints' pass defense that has faced the fewest slot targets this season but has allowed the 12th-highest passer rating when targeted to slot receivers. |

64.
Brian Thomas Jr.
WR - JAC (vs . IND)
Brian Thomas Jr. returned to the huddle last week with a 78.1% route share, an 11.1% target share, 28 receiving yards, and a 17.6% first-read share (second on the team). He had a 16.0 aDOT, and one of his three targets was downfield. Could Trevor Lawrence and Brian Thomas Jr. connect on a deep heave this week? Sure, but I don't want to bet on it this week. This season, Indy has allowed the 13th-lowest deep completion rate, the tenth-lowest passer rating to downfield passing, and the third-fewest deep passing touchdowns (tied).
|
|
65.
Omarion Hampton
RB - LAC (vs . PHI)
Omarion Hampton will be back this week, and we have no way of accurately projecting how the workload will be divided between Omarion Hampton and Kimani Vidal. Vidal could split the work evenly with Hampton, Hampton could lead the way, or Vidal could retain the lead-back role as they ease Hampton in. Hampton's effectiveness is also in question here because we are still shaky on the details of his injury and what that could mean for his on-field performance for the remainder of the season. The other issue here is that Justin Herbert will be limited this week, which at first glance could be a good thing because the Bolts could lean on their ground game. Yes, the Bears ran it down Philly's throat last week, but the Chargers don't have the Bears' ground game. The offensive line can't impose its will on the ground, and Philly could just stack the box and force the Bolts to beat them through the air with their one-handed quarterback. Since Week 13, the Chargers' offensive line has had the 13th-lowest yards before contact per attempt. Hampton is best viewed as a risky flex play this week with a bad matchup. Prior to the Bears steamrolling the Eagles (Weeks 8-12), Philly had allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game, the sixth-lowest rushing success rate, and the seventh-fewest yards before contact per attempt.

66.
David Montgomery
RB - DET (vs . DAL)
David Montgomery's role has been shrinking in the Detroit offense. Since Week 11, he has averaged only 8.3 touches and 33.2 total yards. In those three games, he has split the red zone work with Jahmyr Gibbs, with both players seeing four red zone rushing attempts. In his last three games, he has averaged a 36.8% snap rate. Overall, among 55 qualifying backs, Montgomery ranks 32nd in explosive run rate and 20th in yards after contact per attempt. Since the acquisition of Quinnen Williams, Dallas has allowed the second-fewest rushing yards per game, the 13th-lowest yards after contact per attempt, and the sixth-fewest yards before contact per attempt. Montgomery is a flex option better left on the bench this week.
|

67.
Troy Franklin
WR - DEN (at LV)
Troy Franklin continues to hum along as the WR35 in fantasy points per game while ranking second in deep targets and eighth in red zone targets among wide receivers. The last time he faced this pass defense, he was the WR23 for the week, securing five of his nine targets with 40 receiving yards and a score. This week, he faces a Raiders' secondary that, since Week 9, has utilized single high at the third-highest rate (63.8%). Since Week 7, against single high, Franklin has had a team-leading 27% target share and 33.8% first-read share with 2.13 yards per route run. He should lead the way for Denver's passing attack this week. Since Week 9, the Raiders' secondary has allowed the eighth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
|
|
68.
Kyle Monangai
RB - CHI (at GB)
Last week, Ben Johnson leaned on the ground game to help protect Caleb Williams. I think Chicago should and will deploy a similar attack plan against Green Bay. Last week, Monangai finished with 22 carries and 130 rushing yards as the RB8 for the week. He had four of five running back red zone rushing attempts while playing 44.7% of the snaps with a 22.5% route share (zero targets). Among 55 qualifying backs, Monangai ranks 11th in yards after contact per attempt and 16th in explosive run rate. Since Week 9, Green Bay's run defense has displayed some give, ranking 15th in explosive run rate while allowing the 11th-most rushing yards per game and the 14th-highest yards before contact per attempt.

69.
Harold Fannin Jr.
TE - CLE (vs . TEN)
With Shedeur Sanders under center, Harold Fannin Jr. has finished as the TE15 and TE12 in weekly scoring. He has led the team in those two games with a 23.9% target share, 41.5 receiving yards per game, 2.02 yards per route run, and ranked second with a 19.2% first-read share. Fannin is a low-end streaming option this week at tight end. Tennessee has held tight ends to the 11th-fewest receiving yards per game and the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game.
|
|
70.
DJ Moore
WR - CHI (at GB)
DJ Moore has had a quiet season as the WR43 in fantasy points per game, with only two top 24 weekly finishes. In the last four games, he has finished as the WR68 in weekly scoring or lower three times. Moore has a 14.9% target share with 41.8 receiving yards per game, 1.41 yards per route run, and a 16.9% first-read share. He has seven red zone targets and 11 deep targets. Moore is best left on the bench this week. Since Week 9, Green Bay has allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game and the 12th-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
|

71.
Romeo Doubs
WR - GB (vs . CHI)
Since Week 11, Romeo Doubs has been the WR44 in fantasy points per game with a 19.2% target share, 32 receiving yards per game, 1.52 yards per route run, and an 18% first-read share. I those three games, he has had four red zone targets and zero deep targets. Since Week 6, Chicago has utilized single high at the 12th-highest rate (53.8%). Since Week 10, against single high, Doubs has had a 12.7% target share, 0.38 yards per route run, and a 15.8% first-read share. The matchup is good for Doubs this week, but the coverage matchup could limit his volume. He's a low-end flex this week. Since Week 9, Chicago has allowed the tenth-most PPR points per target and the second-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

72.
Luther Burden III
WR - CHI (at GB)
Since Week 10, Luther Burden has had a 51.6% route share, a 13.7% target share with 39.3 receiving yards per game, 1.96 yards per route run, and a 19.5% first-read share. In those four games, he has zero high-leverage usage with no red zone or deep targets. With Rome Odunze out this week, I expect Burden to shift outside opposite DJ Moore as Olamide Zaccheaus becomes the full-time starting slot. Burden will have a tough assignment on the perimeter this week. Since Week 9, Green Bay has allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game and the 12th-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

73.
Juwan Johnson
TE - NO (at TB)
Since Week 10, with Tyler Shough under center, Johnson has had a 17.1% target share with 59 receiving yards per game, 1.88 yards per route run, and a 20.3% first-read share as the TE5 in fantasy points per game. In those three games, he has only one red zone target and one deep target. Johnson is a solid TE1 again this week. Tampa Bay has allowed the 13th-fewest receiving yards per game to tight ends, but they have given up the seventh-most receiving touchdowns per game to the position.
|
|
74.
Zach Ertz
TE - WAS (at MIN)
Zach Ertz is the TE13 in fantasy points per game with three TE1 outings this season (TE2, TE5, TE3). Among tight ends, he ranks third in deep targets and 15th in red zone targets. Minnesota has utilized two high at the highest rate in the NFL (66.4%). Against two high, Ertz has a 22.1% target share with 1.82 yards per route run and a 25% first-read share. Ertz is a strong streaming option this week. Minnesota ranks 16th in receiving yards per game and has given up the 13th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
|
|
75.
Mark Andrews
TE - BAL (vs . PIT)
Mark Andrews has fallen off a cliff this season as the TE19 in fantasy points per game. He has four TE1 outings this season. In the other weeks, he has been unplayable. Last week was the first time all season that he had more than 40 receiving yards in a game, and most of that came in garbage time. Andrews has a 16.1% target share with 27.7 receiving yards per game, 1.40 yards per route run, and a 21.3% first-read share. He leads the team with ten red zone targets while seeing only one deep target this season. This week, he faces a Pittsburgh pass defense that has utilized single high at the fifth-highest rate (59.8%). Against single high, Andrews has seen his target share increase to 16.7% with 1.84 yards per route run and a 19.5% first-read share. It's a dice roll, but Andrews could finish as a TE1 this week. The Steelers have allowed the seventh-most receiving yards per game and the sixth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
|
|
76.
John Metchie III
WR - NYJ (vs . MIA)
Since Week 11, John Metchie has finished as a top-20 wide receiver in weekly scoring twice (WR18, WR11). Since Week 11, Metchie has had a 20.5% target share with 43 receiving yards per game, 1.39 yards per route run, and a 23.6% first-read share. In those three games, he has two red zone targets and zero deep targets. He could easily be a strong flex play again this week operating as New York's WR2 against a Miami secondary that, since Week 9, has allowed the ninth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

77.
Dalton Schultz
TE - HOU (at KC)
Since Week 3, Dalton Schultz has been the TE12 in fantasy points per game with an 18.6% target share, 1.62 yards per route run, 49.5 receiving yards per game, and a 19.3% first-read share. In those ten games, he has had seven red zone targets and five deep targets. Since Week 11, the Chiefs have utilized two high at the second-highest rate (61.9%). Since Week 3, against two high, Schultz has had a 20.3% target share, 1.81 yards per route run, and a 22% first-read share. Schultz is a solid TE1 again this week. The Chiefs have faced the sixth-fewest tight end targets per game, but they have ranked 17th in yards per reception allowed. Kansas City is a neutral matchup for Schultz.
|
|
78.
Xavier Worthy
WR - KC (vs . HOU)
Since Rashee Rice has been a full-time player in the Chiefs' offense (Week 8), Worthy has been the WR51 in fantasy points per game with two top-36 weekly finishes (WR33, WR28), which have come in his last two games. Houston's perimeter corners are really, really good, but the coverage matchup is working in Worthy's favor this week. Since Week 8, he has had a 16.6% target share with 44.2 receiving yards per game, 1.29 yards per route run, and a 21.8% first-read share. In those five games, he has had two red zone targets and seven deep targets. Since Week 9, Houston has utilized single-high at the seventh-highest rate (59.9%). Since Week 8, against single high, Worthy has had a 19.8% target share with 1.65 yards per route run and a 26.9% first-read share. The problem for Worthy is that, since Week 9, Houston has allowed the fifth-fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Worthy gets a bump with the positive single high numbers, but it still only makes him a dart throw flex this week.

79.
Keenan Allen
WR - LAC (vs . PHI)
After seeing his route share dip recently, Keenan Allen came roaring back last week with a season-high 82.1% route share. Overall, he has been the WR28 in fantasy points per game with a 21.3% target share, 51.8 receiving yards per game, 1.87 yards per route run, and a 23.8% first-read share. Since Week 7, Philly has utilized two high at the fourth-highest rate (56.3%). Against two high, Allen has seen his numbers improve with a 21.4% target share, 1.96 yards per route run, and a 23.2% first-read share. Allen could lead the way for the Bolts' passing attack this week, especially when you consider his matchup on the perimeter. Since Week 9, Philly has allowed the third-most receiving yards per game and the eighth-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers. Justin Herbert's effectiveness and the passing volume for the offense could limit Allen's ceiling and crush his floor. He's a risky flex play.

Jordan Addison
WR - MIN (vs . WAS)
In his four games with JJ McCarthy under center, Jordan Addison has only one top-36 finish in weekly scoring (WR31). In those four games, Addison has had a 17.8% target share with 25.8 receiving yards per game, 0.84 yards per route run, and a 21.3% first-read share. In that sample, he has two red zone targets and seven deep targets. Since Week 11, Washington has utilized two high at the highest rate in the NFL (64.8%). With McCarthy against two high, Addison has had a 20.7% target share and a 22.9% first-read share. Addison is a dart throw flex this week with a good matchup. Since Week 9, Washington has allowed the most PPR points per target and the ninth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Darnell Mooney
WR - ATL (vs . SEA)
Over the last two games, with Drake London on the shelf, Darnell Mooney has had only a 14.3% target share with 49.5 receiving yards per game, 1.87 yards per route run, and a 22.2% first-read share. He has had two red zone targets and one deep target since Week 12. Mooney is a low-end flex play this week. Since Week 9, Seattle has held perimeter wide receivers to the third-fewest PPR points per target and the fewest receiving yards per game.

82.
Jayden Higgins
WR - HOU (at KC)
Since Week 10, Jayden Higgins has been the WR24 in fantasy points per game. He has settled into a 60%-ish route share weekly. Last week, he had a 62.2% route share. Since Week 10, Higgins has had an 18.5% target share, a 30% target per route run rate, 50 receiving yards per game, 2.15 yards per route run, and a 22.2% first-read share. In his last four games, he has had four red zone targets and five deep targets. If Houston would allow him to play a 75-80% route share, he could be winning people weeks, but I'll take what we can get from Nick Caley. Higgins has been uber-efficient with his workload and drawing targets at a high level when on the field. Since Week 11, the Chiefs have utilized two high at the second-highest rate (61.9%). Since Week 10, against two high, Higgins has had a 30% target per route run rate, 2.28 yards per route run, and a 22.4% first-read share. Higgins should crush again this week. Since Week 9, the Chiefs have allowed the fifth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

Zach Charbonnet
RB - SEA (at ATL)
Last week, the blowout win for Seattle distorted the snap counts. In the first half, Zach Charbonnet played 45.5% of the snaps with a 5.3% route share. Charbonnet was the early down assistant to Kenneth Walker and the team's red zone back as he had an 83.3% snap share inside the 20-yard line in the first two quarters. Since Week 11, Charbonnet has averaged 11 touches and 44.6 total yards as the RB39 in fantasy points per game. Overall, among 55 qualifying backs, Charbonnet ranks 21st in missed tackle rate and ninth in yards after contact per attempt. Charbonnet remains a decent flex option this week. Since Week 9, Atlanta has allowed the fifth-most rushing yards per game, the ninth-highest rushing success rate, the 13th-most yards before contact per attempt, and they have logged the fifth-lowest stuff rate.

84.
Quentin Johnston
WR - LAC (vs . PHI)
Quentin Johnston is the WR29 in fantasy points per game with a 17% target share, 47.7 receiving yards per game, 1.39 yards per route run, and a 21.1% first-read share. He leads the team with 13 deep targets while also ranking fourth in red zone targets with 11. This isn't the matchup to consider flexing Johnston. Since Week 7, Philly has utilized two high at the fourth-highest rate (56.3%). Against two high, Johnston's numbers have cratered with a 14.5% target share, 0.98 yards per route run, and an 18.6% first-read share. Since Week 9, Philly has allowed the third-most receiving yards per game and the eighth-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wide receivers, so maybe that helps Johnston this week. I'm not projecting a ceiling performance for him, though. He'll need a touchdown to save his day.

85.
Oronde Gadsden II
TE - LAC (vs . PHI)
Since Week 6, Gadsden has been the TE9 in fantasy points per game with a 17.2% target share, 65.4 receiving yards per game, 2.30 yards per route run, and a 21.3% first-read share. In those seven games, he has had ten red zone targets and six deep targets. Since Week 7, Philly has utilized two high at the fourth-highest rate (56.3%). Since Week 6, against two high, Gadsden has had an 18.6% target share with 2.37 yards per route run and a 20.6% first-read share. He'll face an uphill climb this week against a defense that has shut down tight ends. Philly has allowed the second-fewest receiving yards per game and the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends. We also have effectiveness and passing volume worries this week with Justin Herbert under center.
|
|
86.
Tre Tucker
WR - LV (vs . DEN)
Since Week 10, Tucker has been the WR56 in fantasy points per game with a 17.6% target share with 30.8 receiving yards per game, 0.79 yards per route run, and a 21.6% first-read share. In those four games without Jakobi Meyers, he has had three red zone targets and eight deep targets. Sit Tucker this week. Since Week 9, Denver has held perimeter wide receivers to the sixth-fewest PPR points per target.
|
|
87.
Devaughn Vele
WR - NO (at TB)
Since Week 12, Devaughn Vele has had an 18.1% target share with 65 receiving yards per game, 1.55 yards per route run, and a 16.7% first-read share. In those two games, Vele had two red zone targets and two deep targets. Last week, he was the WR7 in weekly scoring, securing all eight of his targets with 93 receiving yards and a score. Since Week 10, Tampa Bay has utilized single high at the third-highest rate (63.1%). Since Week 12, against single high, Vele has been a distant third in the target pecking order against single high with a 17.9% target share, 1.29 yards per route run, and an 11.1% first-read share. Vele is a decent flex play this week, but I wouldn't expect a repeat of last week's stat line in Week 14. Since Week 9, Tampa Bay has allowed the 12th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

88.
Chris Rodriguez Jr.
RB - WAS (at MIN)
Since Week 11, Chris Rodgriguez has been Washington's lead back with seven of 11 running back red zone rushing attempts. He has averaged 13.5 touches and 63 total yards. Among 55 qualifying backs, he ranks 37th in explosive run rate and third in yards after contact per attempt. He's a solid touchdown-dependent flex this week. Since Week 9, Minnesota has allowed the 12th-most rushing yards per game, the 12th-highest rushing success rate, the third-highest yards after contact per attempt, and logged the 11th-lowest stuff rate.

89.
Darren Waller
TE - MIA (at NYJ)
Last week, Darren Waller returned to the lineup with a 65.5% route share, a 13% target share, 47 receiving yards, 2.47 yards per route run, and an 18.8% first-read share. He had one red zone target and two deep targets. Overall, Waller has a 17% target per route run rate with 1.86 yards per route run and a 12.9% first-read share. In his five games played, he has five red zone targets and three deep targets. Waller is a streaming option this week, but don't expect a massive stat line from him. The Jets have allowed the tenth-fewest receiving yards per game and the seventh-fewest yards per reception to tight ends.

90.
Colston Loveland
TE - CHI (at GB)
Since Week 10, Loveland has had one TE1 weekly finish (TE3). During his last four games, Loveland has had a 54.8% route share with a 13.7% target share, 43 receiving yards per game, 2.02 yards per route run, and a 14.9% first-read share. In those four games, he has had two red zone targets and zero deep targets. Green Bay has held tight ends to the seventh-fewest receiving yards per game and the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game. Loveland is a streaming option best left on the bench this week.
|
|
91.
Kenneth Gainwell
RB - PIT (at BAL)
Last week, Gainwell saw his role in the offense diminish with only seven touches and 45 total yards. He had one red zone rushing attempt, which equaled Jaylen Warren's usage in that department. Gainwell played 41.9% of the snaps with a 44% route share. He's a viable flex option this week if you're struggling to fill out a lineup. Since Week 9, Baltimore has allowed the fifth-highest explosive run rate, the 12th-highest missed tackle rate, and the 11th-highest yards after contact per attempt.
|
|
92.
Dalton Kincaid
TE - BUF (vs . CIN)
Dalton Kincaid has been dealing with a knee issue and a hamstring injury. He has practiced on a limited basis all week and has been listed as questionable. Kincaid is the TE8 in fantasy points per game with a 14.8% target share, five red zone targets, four deep targets, and a 17.4% first-read share. Kincaid has been mashing on a per-route basis with 3.37 yards per route run, but the issue is that he has only a 47% route share. I'd love to tell you that I LOVE HIM this week versus the Bengals, who have bled out production to tight ends all year and are easily the best matchup in the NFL for the position, but I have my worries. Kincaid has been a limited snap player all season, and in Weeks 8-9, he had only 32% and 46.7% route shares. In those two games, he had only three and six targets. It's tough to expect him to be ridiculously efficient and produce on limited volume when he is clearly not 100%. Could he pay off for fantasy this week? Sure. Are there a ton of concerns around his playing, efficiency, and the Bills' game plan this week? Oh, hell yes. If Buffalo wants to just lean on their run game, they can against Cincy. That would crush the Bills' passing volume and Kincaid's involvement. Playing him is a risk this week. Cincy has allowed the most receiving yards per game, the highest yards per reception, and the most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

93.
Josh Downs
WR - IND (at JAC)
Josh Downs has had a disappointing season, and I don't see it turning around this week. He is the WR53 in fantasy points per game and hasn't hit double-digit PPR points since Week 9. Downs has a 16.7% target share with 33.6 receiving yards per game, 1.60 yards per route run, and a 19% first-read share. He is tied for second on the team with ten red zone targets while kicking in five deep targets. Jourdan Lewis's return last week means Downs is headed toward another quiet game. In slot coverage this season, Lewis has allowed only one touchdown and a 61.7 passer rating in his coverage. Jacksonville has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per target to slot receivers this season.
|

94.
Jerry Jeudy
WR - CLE (vs . TEN)
Jerry Jeudy is an intriguing deep league flex this week. In Shedeur Sanders' two starts, Jeudy has finished as the WR75 and WR59 in weekly scoring. Yes, I know that's not sexy, but stay with me. Let me explain. Since Week 12, Jeudy has had a 15.2% target share with 32.5 receiving yards per game, 1.55 yards per route run, and a 23.1% first-read share. In those two games, Jeudy has led the team with three deep targets. The Titans have struggled to defend perimeter wide receivers and downfield passing. Since Week 9, Tennessee has allowed the third-highest deep ball completion rate, the second-most deep passing yards per game, and the third-highest deep passer rating. Also, since Week 9, Tennessee has allowed the seventh-highest PPR points per target and the seventh-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

95.
Kimani Vidal
RB - LAC (vs . PHI)
Omarion Hampton will be back this week, and we have no way of accurately projecting how the workload will be divided between Hampton and Kimani Vidal. Vidal could split the work evenly with Hampton or immediately be shoved back into a backup role. The other issue here is that Justin Herbert will be limited this week, which at first glance could be a good thing because the Bolts could lean on their ground game. Yes, the Bears ran it down Philly's throat last week, but the Chargers don't have the Bears' ground game. The offensive line can't impose its will on the ground, and Philly could just stack the box and force the Bolts to beat them through the air with their one-handed quarterback. Since Week 13, the Chargers' offensive line has had the 13th-lowest yards before contact per attempt. Vidal is best viewed as a risky flex play this week with a bad matchup. Prior to the Bears steamrolling the Eagles (Weeks 8-12), Philly had allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game, the sixth-lowest rushing success rate, and the seventh-fewest yards before contact per attempt.
|
|
96.
Tony Pollard
RB - TEN (at CLE)
Since Week 6, Tony Pollard has averaged 12.3 touches and 51.3 total yards with a 50% snap share. He has split the red zone work with Tyjae Spears, with each back seeing five red zone rushing attempts. Pollard is a low-end flex play best left on the bench this week. Since Week 9, Cleveland has allowed the tenth-lowest explosive run rate, the lowest rushing success rate, and the eighth-lowest yards before contact per attempt.
|
|
97.
Dallas Goedert
TE - PHI (at LAC)
Dallas Goedert is the TE10 in fantasy points per game, but he hasn't finished as a TE1 in weekly scoring since Week 8. Goedert has a 17.2% target share with 36.6 receiving yards per game, 1.33 yards per route run, and an 18.8% first-read share. He is tied for second on the team with seven red zone targets while kicking in six deep targets. Since Week 6, the Bolts have had a second-highest two high rate (62.7%). Against two high, Goedert has seen his numbers climb with an 18.6% target share, 1.62 yards per route run, and a 21.1% first-read share. The Chargers have held tight ends to the sixth-fewest receiving yards per game, but that is more related to them facing the fourth-fewest targets per game to the position. Los Angeles has also given up the 12th-highest yards per reception and the eighth-most receiving touchdowns per game to tight ends. This is a plus matchup for Goedert.

Blake Corum
RB - LAR (at ARI)
Since Week 7, Blake Corum has averaged ten carries and 44.3 rushing yards. He's a strong flex this week. Corum is in the same area code as Tyler Allgeier weekly, as the 1B in a backfield that could easily work out as a nice fantasy play if he gets in the end zone. Since Week 7, Corum has had 12 red zone carries. He's finally back to the form that he displayed early in his college career. Among 55 qualifying backs, Corum ranks 12th in explosive run rate and missed tackle rate. Corum could rip a big run or two this week and fall into the end zone. Since Week 9, Arizona has allowed the eighth-most rushing yards per game, the second-highest missed tackle rate, and the eighth-highest explosive run rate.

102.
Cooper Kupp
WR - SEA (at ATL)
If I'm picking between Cooper Kupp or Rashid Shaheed for a last flex spot as the tertiary Seattle pass catcher to believe in this week, it's Kupp. I'll say that Atlanta has been horrible at defending perimeter wide receivers over the last few weeks, so I could easily be wrong about this and Shaheed could pop off, but looking at their usage against single high, I lean to Kupp. Atlanta has utilized single high at the second-highest rate in the NFL (64%). Since Week 11, against single high, Kupp has ranked second on the team with an 18.8% target share and 18.5% first-read share with 1.12 yards per route run. Since Week 9, Atlanta has allowed the 13th-most fantasy points per game and the seventh-most receiving yards per game to slot receivers.

103.
Cade Otton
TE - TB (vs . NO)
Cade Otton is the TE26 in fantasy points per game and on the fringe of streaming status this week. Otton has a 15.2% target share with 34.3 receiving yards per game, 1.17 yards per route run, and a 14.4% first-read share. He has only three red zone targets and a deep target this season. New Orleans is 15th in yards per reception allowed to tight ends and has given up the 14th-most fantasy points per game to the position. With the Bucs' other receiving weapons getting healthier by the week, Otton is fading into the background. I would look to other streaming options this week, but if you're forced to plug him in a deep league for Week 14, I get it.

Jordan Mason
RB - MIN (vs . WAS)
Aaron Jones is dealing with a shoulder injury. He left last week's game with a shoulder injury. Jones opened this week's practice schedule with a limited session. If Jones misses this week, Mason would be the lead back. I'll update this situation on Friday.
|
|
105.
Tyjae Spears
RB - TEN (at CLE)
Since Week 6, Tyjae Spears has averaged nine touches and 45.3 total yards per game with a 49.1% snap share. He has split the red zone work evenly with Tony Pollard, with each back seeing five red zone rushing attempts. Sit Spears this week. Since Week 9, Cleveland has allowed the tenth-lowest explosive run rate, the lowest rushing success rate, and the eighth-lowest yards before contact per attempt.

Last week, TeSlaa had an 83.9% route share, a 7.4% target share, 35 receiving yards, 1.35 yards per route run, and a 12.5% first-read share. TeSlaa didn't garner a large portion of the passing offense even with Amon-Ra St. Brown going down. Overall, this season, he has had an 8% target per route run rate with 0.71 yards per route run and a 3.9% first-read share. He has four red zone targets, one deep target, and three touchdowns. He's a deep league flex play this week because of the matchup. Since Week 9, Dallas has allowed the 13th-most PPR points per target and the most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Mason Taylor
TE - NYJ (vs . MIA)
Mason Taylor has seen his role in the passing game dwindle in recent weeks. He hasn't managed double-digit fantasy points since Week 8. That was also the last game that he had a red zone target. Mason Taylor is the TE31 in fantasy points per game with three TE1 outings this season. Since Week 11, he has had a 14.8% target share with 24 receiving yards per game, 1.06 yards per route run, and a 14.5% first-read share. Taylor is on the streaming radar this week, though. The matchup is wonderful. The Dolphins have allowed the fifth-most receiving yards per game, the eighth-highest yards per reception, and the fifth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

111.
T.J. Hockenson
TE - MIN (vs . WAS)
In JJ McCarthy's six starts, TJ Hockensen hasn't finished higher than TE19 in weekly scoring. In those six games, he has had a 13.8% target share with 17.3 receiving yards per game, 0.75 yards per route run, and a 13% first-read share with one red zone target. Hockenson is a low-end streaming option this week. Washington has allowed the eighth-most receiving yards per game and the fourth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Isaiah Likely
TE - BAL (vs . PIT)
On paper, the matchup for Isaiah Likely puts him on the streaming radar, but I wouldn't plug him into a lineup this week. Yes, the Steelers have allowed the seventh-most receiving yards per game and the sixth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends, but the coverage matchup doesn't favor Likely. This week, he faces a Pittsburgh pass defense that has utilized single high at the fifth-highest rate (59.8%). Against single high, Likely has only a 9.6% target share with 1.58 yards per route run and a 9% first-read share. That's not usage that I want to depend on the week before many leagues begin the fantasy playoffs. Could it pay off? Sure, it's possible, but there's an equal chance that he burns you and you're left wishing that you didn't stream him for Week 14.

118.
Michael Carter
RB - ARI (vs . LAR)
It's looking unlikely that we will see Trey Benson again this season. He's out this week, and so is Emari Demercado. The Cardinals will lean on the tandem of Zonovan Knight and Michael Carter again this week. Carter is the passing-down back. Since Week 12, he has averaged nine touches and 61 total yards with a 53.5% snap rate, only ten of 31 running back carries, a 42.3% route share, and an 8.9% target share. Carter will likely lead the backfield in snaps again this week as the Cardinals will likely be trailing for most of this game. The Rams have allowed the 12th-highest yards per reception and the 14th-most receiving touchdowns per game (tied) to running backs. Carter is a viable flex this week in PPR formats.

|
119.
Tez Johnson
WR - TB (vs . NO)
Last week, with Chris Godwin's route share increasing, Johnson saw his role evaporate with a 54.5% route share, a 7.1% target share, and an 11.1% first-read share. Jonson hasn't been a strong target earner this season and has lived on touchdowns to keep his fantasy value afloat. Johnson is a sit this week and droppable with Mike Evans likely back next week.

Parker Washington
WR - JAC (vs . IND)
Parker Washington sustained a hip injury last week. He opened this week with a DNP. Washington managed limited practice sessions on Thursday and Friday. He has been listed as questionable for Week 14. Washington is expected to be inactive this week. If he does play this week, I don't like his prospects. Since Week 7, Washington has been the WR30 in fantasy points per game with a 19% target share, 48.7 receiving yards per game, 1.72 yards per route run, and a 22.1% first-read share. In those six games, he has had six red zone targets and six deep targets. Since Week 10, Indy has utilized single high at the sixth-highest rate (62.3%). Since Week 7, against single high, Washington has had a 19.4% target share with 2.12 yards per route run and a 21.9% first-read share. Washington could pay off as a flex play this week, but he has a tough matchup incoming. Since Week 9, Indy has allowed the third-fewest PPR points per target and the third-lowest passer rating when targeted to slot receivers.
