Trey Benson a Must-Add Toward the End of the Fantasy Season?
Arizona Cardinals second-year running back out of Florida State, Trey Benson (knee), was close to returning in Week 13, but was ruled out on Friday after participating in practice for the second straight week. It was frustrating news for fantasy managers, as most owners were expecting Benson back by now, and had been holding him on their Injured Reserve spot since Week 5. With Week 14 being the last week of the fantasy football regular season in many leagues, fantasy managers will be tasked with the tough decision of playing Trey Benson if he's active, which most signs point to being the case. Suppose Benson has been dropped to the waiver wire in your leagues. In that case, he is a priority add heading into the last few weeks of the fantasy season, as he looked sharp before his injury (5.52 YPC) and was drafted in the third round of the 2024 draft to be James Conner's (foot) eventual replacement. Additionally, Bam Knight (3.45 YPC) and Michael Carter (3.04 YPC) haven't done enough to earn the starting role once Benson is healthy and cleared to return, making Benson a lower-end RB2 when he does return.

Harold Fannin Jr. Finds the End Zone in Week 13 Loss
Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. turned in a productive game in a 26-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13, catching three of his five targets for 43 yards and a touchdown. Fannin provided one of the few bright spots on offense for the Browns when he hauled in a 34-yard touchdown from Shedeur Sanders in the second quarter. The rookie tight end continues to produce for Cleveland as he has 51 receptions for 505 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games this season. Looking like a high-end TE2 in fantasy for the rest of the way, Fannin will try to stay hot against the Tennessee Titans at home in Week 14.

Jerry Jeudy Turns in Another Quiet Performance in Week 13 Loss
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught three of his four targets for 26 yards in a 26-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. Jeudy had a chance for a bigger game as he got open behind the San Francisco defense in the first quarter but was overthrown by Shedeur Sanders. The veteran wideout is turning in a disappointing season, catching just 35 passes for 421 yards and one touchdown across 12 games. Hard to trust in fantasy leagues going forward, Jeudy will look to get on track in Week 14's home matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

Quinshon Judkins Rushes for 91 Yards in Week 13 Loss
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins carried the ball 23 times for 91 yards while catching all three of his targets for 18 yards and rushing for a two-point conversion in a 26-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. Judkins continued to dominate the Cleveland backfield as Dylan Sampson got just four carries and was the only other running back to take a handoff for the Browns. Judkins has been excellent in his rookie season, rushing for 758 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games thus far. He will be a low-end RB1 in fantasy in Week 14's home game against the Tennessee Titans.

Tyler Warren Plays Through Illness to Score Touchdown in Week 13
Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren caught three of his four targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in a 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 13. Warren popped up on the injury report with an illness over the weekend, prompting the Colts to list him as questionable for the contest. He ultimately was able to play through the illness and hauled in a 12-yard touchdown to tie the game at 13-13 in the third quarter. Warren has been impressive in his rookie season, catching 58 passes for 684 yards and scoring six all-purpose touchdowns in 12 games. He will be a solid TE1 in Week 14's road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Michael Pittman Jr. Catches Just One Ball in Week 13 Loss
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught just one of his four targets for 13 yards in a 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 13. Pittman was quiet in the close loss as the Colts mostly leaned on Alec Pierce in the contest. The veteran receiver is putting together a solid season, posting 60 catches for 620 yards and seven touchdowns in 12 games. Despite the slow outing, Pittman remains one of the top targets on an excellent Colts offense. He will look to bounce back on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 14.

Jonathan Taylor Held Out of the End Zone in Week 13 Loss
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 21 times for 85 yards and caught three of his five targets for 36 yards in a 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 13. Taylor was held out of the end zone for the second straight game, although he was able to offset that with a solid afternoon in the passing game. The veteran running back has been excellent this season, rushing for 1,282 yards while catching 35 passes for 304 yards and scoring 17 all-purpose touchdowns. He will remain a high-end RB1 in Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road.

Daniel Jones Throws Two Touchdowns in Week 13 Loss to Texans
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones completed 14 of his 27 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns while adding one yard on his lone carry in a 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 13. Jones found Alec Pierce and Tyler Warren for his touchdown passes in the contest but couldn't complete a pass on fourth down with 1:49 remaining in the game to give the Colts a chance at a comeback win. Reportedly playing through a fractured fibula, Jones has cooled off a bit in recent weeks. The veteran quarterback has thrown for 3,041 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions while adding five rushing touchdowns in 12 games this year. He will now begin preparing to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in Week 14.

Terry McLaurin Returns with Big Performance in Week 13 Overtime Loss
Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has played in only five games this season due to a quad injury, but he had an outstanding game in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. Even on limited snaps, McLaurin recorded seven receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown on a team-leading 14 targets in Washington's overtime loss. The Commanders' top wideout last played in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs, where he also played limited snaps but made his presence known with three catches (four targets) for 54 yards and a touchdown. McLaurin has had an unfortunate season plagued by injuries, but he will look to close out the season on a high note. He also could be getting second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) back next week against the Minnesota Vikings.

Zach Ertz Leads Washington in Receiving in Overtime Loss
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz hauled in 10 catches for 106 yards on 14 targets in Sunday night's 27-26 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos. Ertz led Washington in catches and yards in a wild game that came down to the wire. The veteran's performance against the Broncos on Sunday night marked the second game with 10+ catches and 100+ receiving yards since joining the Commanders last year, with the other being the NFC Championship against his former team in the Philadelphia Eagles. Ertz has continued to be ultra productive in his age-35 season, totaling 39 receptions for 387 yards and four touchdowns on 57 targets in 11 games this season.

Marcus Mariota Throws Two Touchdowns in Overtime Loss
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.

Alec Pierce Snags Touchdown, Leads Colts in Receiving in Loss to Texans
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.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Dealing with a Heel Injury, Takes Back Arizona's No. 1 WR Role
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.

Michael Wilson Takes a Backseat in the Cardinals Passing Attack in Sunday's Loss to the Bucs
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.

James Cook Handles Career-High 32 Carries for 144 Yards in Win
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.
