2 days agoBuffalo Bills wide receiver
Cole Beasley scored the team's only touchdown in Week 14 against the Ravens. It came in the fourth quarter while the team was attempting a comeback before eventually falling short. Beasley had seven targets in the game and wound up with four catches for 29 yards and a touchdown. Beasley now has touchdowns in three straight games. With six touchdowns on the year, Beasley has found a way to contribute for fantasy owners in ways other than just heavy usage. He's a viable WR3 or flex play in PPR leagues of 12 or more teams.

2 days agoBaltimore Ravens quarterback recorded his second-worst fantasy performance of the season against the Buffalo Bills, but was able to squeak out just under 20 points in most formats. Jackson completed 16-of-25 passes for 145 yards and three touchdowns. He added 40 yards on the ground, was sacked once and threw an interception in Baltimore's Week 14 win. After tight end
Mark Andrews exited the game in the first quarter with a knee injury, Jackson found
Nick Boyle for a three-yard shuffle-pass touchdown to start the second quarter. Jackson's top receiver in the game was tight end
Hayden Hurst who finished with three receptions for 73 yards, including a 61-yard touchdown to start the second half. The Ravens face a
Jets Defense in Week 15 that has conceded 21 total touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks in 2019.

2 days agoCleveland Browns kicker
Austin Seibert nailed both of his field goals in a 27-19 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14, including a 53 yarder. He also tacked on three extra points in the winning effort. The rookie kicker has been solid for Cleveland this season, having missed just three field goals in 25 attempts. The 53-yard field goal goes down as the first 50 yarder of his career. Seibert should be busy in Week 15 against a weak Arizona
Cardinals Defense.

2 days agoBuffalo Bills tight end
Dawson Knox was one of the many Bills who struggled against the Ravens in Week 14. Knox saw four targets in the game and was only able to come down with one, a nice 37-yard, one-handed reception in the fourth quarter of the game. Knox also had a bad drop on a key third-down play in the game. Knox is making some plays here and there for the Bills, but it hasn't been anything sturdy enough or consistent enough to warrant fantasy trust. He can be left on waivers in all leagues.

2 days agoHouston Texans tight end
Darren Fells continued his inconsistent season on Sunday against Denver, catching two passes for two yards. He was targeted four times. It was another game where Fells didn't score a touchdown and thus was rendered as an absolute fantasy bust again. At this point, starting Fells with a fantasy championship on the line feels like something that you just can't afford to do.

2 days agoBuffalo Bills running back
Frank Gore had his worst game of the year from a yardage standpoint in Week 14 against the Ravens. Gore earned just four carries in the game and wasn't able to do much with them, gaining just six total yards. This was the first time all year that Gore was held under double-digits in yards. It was also only the second time all year that Gore had under nine carries in a game. Rookie running back
Devin Singletary was heavily featured in the game, earning 17 carries while catching six passes as well. Gore is the clear No. 2 in Buffalo and can be left on waivers in just about all leagues.

2 days agoBuffalo Bills running back
Devin Singletary was the clear offensive standout for the team in their 24-17 loss to the Ravens in Week 14. Singletary carried the ball 17 times for 89 yards and added six receptions for 29 yards. No other Bill had over 40 yards from scrimmage in the game. Singletary's 23 touches in the game matched a season-high. Meanwhile,
Frank Gore only received four carries, a week after he carried the ball nine times compared with Singletary's 14. Singletary is the clear No. 1 and if there are more games like this going forward where Gore is barely used, Singletary could end up being a low-end RB1 the rest of the way.

2 days agoCincinnati Bengals running back
Joe Mixon ran for 146 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries during the loss to the Browns on Sunday. He also had three receptions for 40 yards. This was Mixon's most productive game of the year, eclipsing the 114 yards that he produced against Baltimore back in Week 10, and did so while collocating a stately 6.3 yards per carry. With three touchdowns on the ground in three of his last four outings, things will tougher in Week 15 against a challenging
Patriots Defense.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
2 days agoHouston Texans tight end
Jordan Akins has been mostly an afterthought ever since his two-touchdown game in Week 3, but on Sunday against the Broncos he finally found something, catching four passes for 49 yards. His nine targets were his most of the year. Akins is a better receiving option everywhere but the red zone than fellow Texans tight end
Darren Fells is, though it's unlikely Sunday's performance really turns out to be indicative of anything. Go ahead and leave Akins on waivers.
--Justin Carter - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com
2 days agoCleveland Browns tight end
David Njoku caught one of his three targets for four yards in a 27-19 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. Njoku had a quiet outing in his first game action since fracturing his wrist back in Week 2. Despite the quiet outing, Njoku will remain on the TE1 borderline in Week 15 as he gets set to take on an Arizona
Cardinals Defense that has been one of the worst in the league at covering the tight end position.

2 days agoNew York Jets quarterback
Sam Darnold went 20-for-36 passing for 270 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Dolphins Sunday. Darnold added three carries for three yards and threw an interception in the contest. Darnold has played well in good matchups over the past month but the clock may have hit midnight on his appeal for fantasy. The Jets will have a quick turnaround this week playing the Ravens on Thursday. Darnold should not be started in a short week, on the road, against one of the league's top defenses.

2 days agoBuffalo Bills quarterback
Josh Allen struggled mightily against a tough
Ravens Defense in Week 14. Allen completed just 17-of-39 passes for a season-low 146 passing yards and a touchdown. He only ran for nine yards in the game, the first time he's been held under double digits in rushing yards all year. Allen also lost a fumble in the game. He was able to salvage some value with a fourth quarter touchdown pass to
Cole Beasley, but it wasn't enough to make up for the earlier struggles. He'll look to bounce back against the Steelers in Week 15.
--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
2 days agoHouston Texans wide receiver
Kenny Stills was expected to see a larger role on Sunday with
Will Fuller (hamstring) out, but that didn't happen. Stills caught both of his targets, finishing with eight yards. Yikes. There's really no reason to be starting Kenny Stills in the fantasy playoffs at this point seeing as he couldn't take advantage of Fuller being out, so go ahead and leave him on waivers, or if you're rostering him, see who's available.
--Justin Carter - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com
2 days agoCleveland Browns wide receiver
Jarvis Landry caught four of his seven targets for 76 yards in a 27-19 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. Landry led the team in all receiving categories on an afternoon where quarterback
Baker Mayfield struggled with his accuracy. Landry has overtaken teammate
Odell Beckham Jr. as the No. 1 receiver in Cleveland and for fantasy purposes and he will be a solid play in Week 15 against a leaky Arizona Cardinals pass defense. Landry is sitting at 995 receiving yards on the season, making it extremely likely that he eclipses the 1,000-yard mark for the third time in his career in Week 15.
--Matt Terelle - RotoBallerSource: www.NFL.com
2 days agoNew York Jets wide receiver
Demaryius Thomas caught his first touchdown of the season in a win over the Dolphins Sunday. Thomas' touchdown was initially ruled incomplete, but the veteran receiver was rightfully given the score after video review. Thomas didn't do much else in the game making just two catches for 28 yards. He hasn't been getting the targets to be fantasy relevant in this Jets offense and shouldn't be started in a brutal matchup at Baltimore Thursday night.
--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com
2 days agoThe
Falcons Defense made things difficult on the Panthers in Week 14. They picked off quarterback
Kyle Allen twice and recovered two fumbles in the game. They also sacked Allen five times. The Panthers were able to score 20 points in the game, but the four turnovers allowed the Falcons defense to come through with a solid fantasy day. Don't expect this to be a trend going forward. The Panthers have been susceptible to turnovers and the Falcons have struggled mightily to keep opponents off the board all year.

2 days agoGreen Bay Packers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers completed 18 of 28 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown in a 20-15 win over the Washington Redskins. Rodgers attempted a season-low 28 passes because Green Bay jumped out to a 14-0 lead- and their running game and defense took care of the rest. The lone touchdown pass of the day for the 36-year-old was a ball lofted into the back of the end zone for backup tight end Robert Tonyan. Rodgers will look to put up better numbers next week in a divisional clash with the stout Chicago
Bears Defense.
--Tim Capurso - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com
2 days agoCincinnati Bengals quarterback
Andy Dalton went 22-for-38 for 262 yards and an interception during the loss to the Browns on Sunday. He had trouble getting anything going, connecting on just 58 percent of his throws, while also allowing
Joe Mixon, who had 23 carries for 146 yards and a score, to be the main focus offensively. Since returning to the lineup after being benched for rookie quarterback
Ryan Finley, who lasted just three starts, the 32-year-old hasn't done much, with that trend expected to continue against the rugged
Patriots Defense in Week 15.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
2 days agoCleveland Browns wide receiver
Odell Beckham Jr. caught two of his five targets for 39 yards in a 27-19 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. It goes down as another disappointing performance for Beckham, who has just 59 receptions in 13 games with Cleveland. It could have been a bigger game as he had another long gain erased after Cincinnati challenged the ruling that he remained in bounds. Upon review, it turned out that his second foot hit the sideline on the fingertip grab. The star wide receiver did have a busy day off the field, as news broke on Sunday morning that he is playing through a sports hernia and also that he may possibly want out of Cleveland this offseason. Beckham draws an excellent matchup in Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals, although at this point it is hard to have confidence in his ability to come through, even in good matchups.

2 days agoHouston Texans wide receiver
Keke Coutee last saw the field in Week 11, and coming into Sunday's game against the Broncos he had 16 catches all season. But with
Will Fuller (hamstring) out, Coutee got a chance. A fumble marred his day, but he did catch five passes for 68 yards and was targeted eight times. Don't think this means anything in re-draft leagues, but maybe Coutee's involvement means you can't totally write him off in dynasty?
--Justin Carter - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com
2 days agoAtlanta Falcons kicker
Younghoe Koo was extremely active and efficient in Week 14 against the Panthers. He knocked down all four of his field goal attempts, including a 50-yarder and was also a perfect 4-for-4 on extra-point attempts. Koo has been getting a ton of opportunities since taking over as the Falcons' kicker in Week 10. He has attempted 18 field goals over five games with the team and has converted 16-of-18. He's a solid starting kicker option to stick with going forward.
--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
2 days agoHouston Texans running back
Duke Johnson had just one carry on Sunday against the Broncos, a touch that gained five yards. He was targeted eight times in the passing game, catching six of those for 40 yards. Johnson's usage looked a lot more like most expected it would when he was traded to the Texans, and this is starting to look like a trend. That's good for Johnson owners in PPR leagues, who might finally be able to trust him in their lineups in 12-team or deeper leagues.
--Justin Carter - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com
2 days agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver
Russell Gage was held to just two receptions for 17 yards in Week 14 against the Panthers. The Falcons had all of their primary pass-catchers active in the game for the first time since Week 10.
Austin Hooper (knee) and
Julio Jones (shoulder) saw a combined 14 targets in the game. Hooper had missed the past three games while Jones had missed Week 13. Gage's upside is significantly limited while the team has all its primary pass-catchers healthy. He's basically the new
Mohamed Sanu in the offense now, so he could be a low-end WR3 or flex in deep PPR leagues, but in most formats, he can be left on benches or on waivers.

2 days agoHouston Texans wide receiver
DeAndre Hopkins caught touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos, finishing with seven catches for 120 yards while also adding a 12-yard run to the mix. He was targeted 13 times after not getting double-digit targets in the last two games. With
Will Fuller (hamstring) out, Hopkins once again was the main target for quarterback
Deshaun Watson, who threw 50 passes in a game where the Texans struggled.

2 days agoCleveland Browns running back
Kareem Hunt carried the ball nine times for 28 yards and a touchdown in a 27-19 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14 while adding two catches for 40 yards. It goes down as another quality game for Hunt, who has three all-purpose touchdowns in his five games with Cleveland. Operating as the No. 3 option in the passing attack, he will be a solid RB2 in Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Gordon Hayward (hand) was able to participate in practice on Sunday. Head coach Brad Stevens hasn't ruled out Hayward for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

2 days agoAtlanta Falcons wide receiver
Julio Jones returned from a one-game absence in Week 14 and delivered a decent line, catching five of his team-high eight targets for 66 yards. The Falcons didn't need to throw the ball as much as they are accustomed to this week.
Calvin Ridley had the biggest day amongst Falcons pass-catchers, reeling in all five of his targets for 76 yards and a touchdown. The highlight of the game for Jones was a 38-yard reception he brought in over the shoulder in the second quarter. It was good to see Jones back out on the field this week and he should be considered a WR1 going into Week 15 against the 49ers.
--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
2 days agoNew York Jets wide receiver
Jamison Crowder disappointed fantasy owners again Sunday making just three catches for 30 yards. Crowder's stretch of three straight games with at least 76 yards and a touchdown feels like an eternity ago as he's made just seven catches for 56 yards total in three games since then. Still, Crowder got seven targets in this one making it now five of his last six games Crowder has at least six targets. Despite the involvement in the offense, Crowder will be hard to trust in a road date with the Ravens this Thursday.

Robert Williams (hip) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's dealing with hip soreness, so the Celtics might take the cautious approach and have Williams rest.
Daniel Theis and

2 days agoHouston Texans running back
Carlos Hyde had 14 carries for 73 yards in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. He also caught two passes for five yards. Hyde bounced back from his worst game of the year to put up a solid stat line, and while his upside remains limited, it was encouraging to see him do what he did in a game where Houston's offense was shut down for most of the game. Hyde's still just an RB3/4 moving forward, though.
