Washington Commanders quarterback
Marcus Mariota completed 28 of 50 passes for 294 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception while adding 10 carries for 55 yards in a 27-26 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos. Mariota attempted a career-high 50 passes as Washington ran 85 total plays in the game and played well for the most part. The veteran connected with
Treylon Burks for a five-yard touchdown on an unbelievable one-handed catch in the third quarter, then found
Terry McLaurin for a three-yard touchdown in overtime to bring Washington within one point of the Broncos, but they ultimately failed the two-point conversion to win the game. Still, it was an encouraging outing for Mariota and the Washington offense against an elite Denver defense. Mariota could make another start next week against the Minnesota Vikings if
Jayden Daniels (elbow) is unable to return.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver
Alec Pierce collected four catches for 78 yards and a touchdown on five targets in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. Pierce led the Colts in receiving and had an impressive contested touchdown grab in the corner of the end zone for the Colts' first touchdown of the day, but it was an otherwise tough day offensively against an elite Houston defense. The 25-year-old has had a breakout season in his fourth year, totaling 33 receptions for 689 yards and two touchdowns on 59 targets in 10 games this season. For the second straight season, Pierce is currently leading the league in yards per reception, averaging 20.9 in 2025. In a crowded Colts pass-catcher room, Pierce has emerged as a reliable fantasy option and projects favorably again in Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) had six catches for 69 yards on seven targets in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. Harrison quickly reasserted himself as the No. 1 wide receiver in the Cardinals' offense in his first game back from his appendectomy surgery by hauling in three catches on the opening drive. The 23-year-old will have all eyes on him the rest of the season as fantasy managers hope to see the former Ohio State superstar break out with Jacoby Brissett under center. Brissett has managed to take the Cardinals' passing attack to the next level during Harrison's absence. According to the Cardinals, Harrison left the game in the second half due to a heel injury and was unable to return. If Harrison can play in Week 14, he should be viewed as a WR2 in a home rivalry matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.--Wyatt McClintockSource: Arizona Cardinals

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson had three catches for 36 yards on seven targets in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. The 25-year-old came falling back to earth on Sunday after having two outerworldly performances in his previous two games. Wilson took a statistical back seat to Marvin Harrison Jr. in his first game back after his appendectomy surgery. Harrison almost doubled up Wilson in catches and receiving yards on Sunday. However, quarterback Jacoby Brissett did keep his eyes out for Wilson throughout the game and forced a couple of targets Wilson's direction in key situations. Brissett and Wilson have a connection worth keeping an eye on, even with Harrison back in the fold. Wilson should remain a flex option in a pass-heavy offense despite heading into a tough Week 14 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.--Wyatt McClintockSource: ESPN

The Buffalo Bills leaned heavily on running back
James Cook in their 26-7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Cook handled a career high 32 carries for 144 yards to go along with three receptions (three targets) for a team-leading 33 receiving yards. The 26-year-old did it all for the Bills in a much-needed bounce-back win, and he continues to have an outstanding season after receiving a four-year, $48 million contract extension in the offseason. Cook has seen more work as a receiver lately as well, recording 14 receptions (14 targets) for 136 yards and a touchdown in his last four games. In the first eight games, he totaled 13 receptions (15 targets) for 100 yards and no touchdowns as a receiver. Cook will remain one of the best running backs in fantasy in a dream matchup next week against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch had two catches for 14 yards on two targets in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. The 27-year-old had seen 15 targets in his previous two games. Dortch was the odd man out of the Cardinals' passing attack in
Marvin Harrison Jr.'s first game back from his appendectomy surgery. With Harrison's return, the Cardinals' pass-catching room has become crowded with over five different receiving options for quarterback
Jacoby Brissett to get the ball to. Dortch will be a touchdown-dependent flex option in deeper leagues heading into a difficult Week 14 matchup against rival Los Angeles Rams.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert (hand) broke a bone in his left hand during his team's Week 13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and is scheduled to undergo a procedure on Monday. However, Herbert said he is "treating it as if I'm playing" when asked about his status for the team's Week 14 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. On the bright side, Herbert will have an extra day of rest as the Chargers play the Eagles on Monday Night Football. However, Herbert will almost certainly be compromised to some degree if he's able to play at all against Philadelphia. Herbert completed 15 of 20 pass attempts for 151 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception against Las Vegas. If he ends up not being able to play against the Eagles, backup quarterback
Trey Lance would be in line to make the start. Even if Herbert is active, fantasy managers in single-QB formats may want to look elsewhere at the quarterback position in Week 14.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Michael Carter had five carries for 17 yards in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. Carter also had five catches for 47 yards on six targets. The 26-year-old was able to get involved in the passing game in Sunday's matchup to stay fantasy relevant in Half-PPR and Full-PPR leagues. Week 13 marked the first time Carter had gotten double-digit touches in a game since Week 6. Carter's fantasy value will be left up in the air with
Trey Benson (knee) potentially coming off injured reserve and
Emari Demercado (ankle) potentially returning in Week 14. If Benson or Demercado returns, Carter will fall to RB3 duties in the Cardinals offense.

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner (calf) was forced to exit early from his team's Week 13 loss to the Houston Texans after suffering a calf strain. Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports that Gardner's injury has "been described as a mild calf strain" and that it will "likely sideline him for a couple of weeks." Gardner's injury initially looked as though it could be potentially season-ending, so the diagnosis is a positive one overall. Still, Indianapolis has lost three out of its last four games and may now be without its star cornerback for crucial games against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Seattle Seahawks over the next two weeks. Entering Week 13, Pro Football Focus had graded Gardner as the 12th-best corner in the NFL out of 108 qualified players at the position for his work this season. If all goes according to plan, it appears Gardner may be on track to return in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight had 11 carries for 62 yards in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. Knight also had three catches for 36 yards with a receiving touchdown on three targets. The 24-year-old put together his best performance of the season by earning season highs in rushing yards, yards per carry, receiving yards, and his first receiving touchdown this season. Knight's performance came after being a limited participant in practice every day this week due to a knee issue. Despite having his best game this season, Knight's role in the offense will be cloudy heading into Week 14, with the potential of
Trey Benson (knee) returning from injured reserve looming.

Arizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride continued his run of dominant play in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, recording eight catches for 82 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. The 26-year-old has now hauled in 88 receptions for 879 yards and eight touchdowns on 118 targets across 12 games played this season. McBride's numbers have been particularly eye-popping since quarterback
Jacoby Brissett took over for the injured
Kyler Murray (foot) in Arizona. Across Brissett's seven starts, McBride is averaging 8.4 receptions and 86.3 receiving yards on 10.9 targets per game. He's also scored seven touchdowns in that span. As long as McBride remains healthy, he profiles as the number one tight end in fantasy football. Arizona will host the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14.

Houston Texans wide receiver
Nico Collins bounced back from his quiet game in Week 12 with a monster showing in his team's Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 26-year-old hauled in five catches for 98 yards on 10 targets and also recorded a seven-yard rushing touchdown. Collins has now hauled in 57 catches for 795 yards and four touchdowns on 95 targets across 11 games this season. Dating back to Week 7, Collins has earned double-digit targets in five out of his last six games played. He clearly has the full trust of Texans quarterback
C.J. Stroud, who returned in Week 13 after missing two games with a concussion. Houston has also played much better football overall in the second half of the season, as they have now won four consecutive games. Collins profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver heading into a critical Week 14 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Devaughn Vele had a breakout game in his team's Week 13 loss to the Miami Dolphins, recording eight catches for 93 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. Vele was acquired by New Orleans from the Denver Broncos before the start of the 2025 season. He spent most of the early portion of the year buried on the team's depth chart, recording just five targets over his first six games. However, New Orleans traded away wideout
Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline and released veteran wide receiver
Brandin Cooks in late November. In recent weeks, Vele appears to be ascending into his team's WR2 role alongside
Chris Olave. He's now recorded 23 targets over his last five games, including consecutive weeks with at least seven targets. Given his emergent role in New Orleans, Vele could be worth a look on the waiver wire in deeper fantasy leagues heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end
Brock Bowers was one of the lone bright spots from his team's 31-14 Week 13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, hauling in four catches for 63 yards and two touchdowns on four targets. The 22-year-old has now recorded 49 receptions for 573 yards and five scores on 68 targets across nine games this season. In the team's first game with Greg Olson calling plays instead of Chip Kelly, Raiders quarterback
Geno Smith attempted just 23 passes, his fewest in a game since Week 7. The diminished pass volume is a big reason why Bowers saw just four targets, which is his second-fewest in any game this season. However, Las Vegas ran for just 31 yards against Los Angeles, so they may be forced to turn to the air more frequently in the coming weeks. As long as Bowers stays healthy, he profiles as a must-start tight end heading into his Week 14 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert (hand) could be in jeopardy of missing some time after suffering an injury on Sunday. According to Adam Schefter, Herbert suffered a fractured left hand during the Week 13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The team is uncertain if Herbert is going to miss any action right now. The 27-year-old is set to undergo surgery on Monday, so the team will give a better timetable throughout the week. Herbert completed 15-of-20 passing attempts for 151 yards with two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's win. However, this could be the last time fantasy managers get to use Herbert with the playoffs looming. At the moment,
Trey Lance is the backup, so he figures to start if Herbert sits out during the Week 14 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Fantasy managers will need to check back throughout the week for more updates on his status.
