Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Marquise Brown caught two passes for 20 yards and a touchdown in last week's 28-31 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Despite his modest stat line, Brown found the endzone to salvage his fantasy day. The veteran receiver has found pay dirt five times this season, meaning that
Patrick Mahomes can trust him when the field shrinks. Brown will likely have to find the endzone again to be viable against Houston in Week 14. The Texans have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, meaning they are among the toughest matchups for the position. Brown is ranked WR60 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a desperation flex play in Week 14.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Xavier Worthy has often taken a backseat to
Rashee Rice and
Travis Kelce this season, but this week, he will also have to contend with one of the toughest defenses in the league. Worthy caught four passes for 61 yards and rushed twice for 13 yards in last week's Thanksgiving loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The speedy wideout finished second on the team in receiving yardage, but it should be tougher sledding this week against Houston. The Texans defense has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, which does not bode well for Worthy, given his lower target share. Worthy is ranked WR40 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a deeper league flex option in Week 14.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Rashee Rice caught eight passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns in the 28-31 loss to Dallas on Thanksgiving. Rice has been the focal point of Kansas City's offense since his return from suspension and has been virtually matchup-proof outside of a down game against Denver, where he caught six passes for 38 yards. The Broncos made it a point to slow down Rice, and the same treatment could be coming his way in Week 14 against a tough Houston defense. The Texans have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Despite the matchup, Rice should still be given a heavy dose of targets in what could be a must-win game for Kansas City. Rice was also dealing with a hamstring injury this week, but practiced in full Wednesday through Friday, so he has no injury designation for this week's matchup. Rice is ranked WR4 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a must-start option despite facing one of the strongest defenses in the NFL.

Kansas City Chiefs running back
Isiah Pacheco only handled three carries for 16 yards in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, but he should handle more work this week. The 26-year-old returned from his knee injury in Week 13, which explains his light workload, but his playing time should increase against the tough Houston defense in Week 14. The Texans defense has allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, making it a tough spot for Pacheco amid a split backfield. Pacheco also popped up on the injury report with a knee injury, but was a full participant in practice all week and is good to go for the weekend. The second-year back was pulling away with the lead role before his injury, so the split could lean in his direction eventually, but it is difficult to say when that might be. Pacheco is ranked RB46 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a tough player to start this week.

Kansas City Chiefs running back
Kareem Hunt should once again lead the backfield as the Chiefs face the Houston Texans on Sunday night. Hunt led the way with 14 carries for 58 yards and one catch for 22 yards in the 28-31 loss to Dallas on Thanksgiving. Last week's contest was
Isiah Pacheco's first game back from injury, so his workload was light, but Hunt should continue getting the majority of work even with Pacheco healthy. The Chiefs have leaned on Hunt as their most trusted runner, and he will need to prove worthy of the role if Kansas City wants to beat the tough Houston defense. The Texans defense has allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, making them one of the toughest matchups at the position. Hunt is ranked RB21 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a viable RB2 option this week.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback
Patrick Mahomes diced up the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving, but ended up taking the loss. Mahomes completed 23 of 34 pass attempts (68%) for 261 yards and four touchdowns in the 28-31 loss to Dallas in Week 13. The Chiefs defense has now given up at least 20 points in four straight games, making it difficult to win no matter how well Mahomes plays. With the team sitting at 6-6 and third in the division, Mahomes and the Chiefs essentially need to win out to secure a spot in the playoffs. That task will be tough to accomplish when they have the stout Houston defense staring them down in Week 14. The Texans defense has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season, making this the toughest matchup there is. With their season hanging in the balance, Mahomes will have to will them to victory if they want to see the postseason. The Chiefs superstar was also listed on this week's injury report with a knee injury, but practiced all week fully and does not have an injury designation heading into the weekend. Mahomes is ranked QB7 in our RotoBaller rankings, meaning he's still a locked-in QB1 despite facing arguably the best defense in football.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight is coming off his best performance of his 2025 campaign. Knight produced season highs in rushing yards (62) and receiving yards (36) on 14 touches in Week 13's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 24-year-old will once again lead the Cardinals' backfield with
Trey Benson (knee) and
Emari Demercado (ankle) being ruled out for Sunday. Entering Week 14, Knight is RotoBaller's 28th-ranked running back in Half-PPR leagues in a difficult matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams' rushing defense has allowed the fewest running touchdowns this season. Knight has lived on his touchdown production this year and has yet to produce over eight fantasy points in a game without scoring a touchdown in Half-PPR formats. Knight will be a risky flex option for managers entering the final week of most fantasy football regular seasons.

New York Jets placekicker
Nick Folk should continue to be a reliable option in Week 14's home matchup with the Miami Dolphins. Folk has been superb when called upon in 2025, missing all but one of his field goal tries (22-of-23) and connecting on each of his 18 extra-point attempts. Even at the age of 41, the veteran's leg is no worse for wear, drilling six kicks of 50-plus yards, including last weekend's 56-yard game-winner. Unfortunately, New York's (lack of) scoring offense has held him back from being amongst the league leaders in points. Still, he'll get an opportunity to be a viable fantasy asset in Sunday's outing with the visiting Dolphins. The Jets have moved the ball better with quarterback
Tyrod Taylor at the helm, and Miami's defense has softened in recent weeks. If New York can continue trending positively, Folk may see a modest uptick in scoring down the stretch. He'll land as RotoBaller's K19 in this week's ranks.

The New York Jets' defense/special teams has another favorable spot on tap in Week 14 when they line up with the visiting Miami Dolphins. Despite a lack of fantasy production on the year, the unit is shaping up to be a decent stream this Sunday when they host their division rivals. Miami's offense has been one of the worst units on a points- and yards-per-game basis, ranking ninth (20.6) and eighth-lowest (300.2) in the respective metrics. Furthermore, the team is tied for fourth with 18 total giveaways on the campaign. While New York's defense is still searching for its first interception of 2025, quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa presents an excellent chance at notching one, as he's tied for the league lead with 14 picks. The Jets' unit still presents some risk, but appears to catch Tagovailoa amid a slump, with just six TD tosses in his last six appearances, and none in four of them. New York ranks as RotoBaller's D/ST15 for their clash with Miami.

New York Jets tight end
Mason Taylor has taken a step back in the team's offensive attack and is nothing more than a low-floor dart throw at the position for this weekend's outing with the visiting Miami Dolphins. The integration of wide receivers
John Metchie III and
Adonai Mitchell into the Jets' scheme has caused Taylor's opportunities to dial back significantly over the back half of the season. While quarterback
Tyrod Taylor has been somewhat of a boon to New York's game plan, the added target threats have diminished the rookie's floor and ceiling. In addition, teammate
Garrett Wilson (knee) could return as early as next Sunday, further dropping the rookie in the passing game hierarchy. Taylor's long-term outlook remains solid, but owners can look elsewhere for help at the position ahead of the fantasy playoffs. He'll rank as RotoBaller's PPR TE26 for Week 14's matchup.

New York Jets wide receiver
John Metchie III's production took a step back in Week 13, but he'll still be on the fantasy radar for his team's matchup with the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium this Sunday. Metchie III drew a season-high eight targets in last weekend's 27-24 win over Atlanta, although he could only churn out 19 yards (four receptions) while dealing with drops. In spite of the poor performance, the 25-year-old has seen at least seven targets in back-to-back outings, and figures to be heavily involved again as New York attempts to remain in playoff contention. While it's unclear if teammate
Adonai Mitchell's superior target share from last week is a trend, rookie tight end
Mason Taylor has taken a backseat to the wideouts with
Tyrod Taylor at the helm. Metchie III's upside is slightly capped, but fantasy managers can trust him as a low-end PPR option for at least one more week with
Garrett Wilson (knee) still tending to an injury. The former Philadelphia Eagle is RotoBaller's PPR WR51 ahead of Week 14's outing.

December 6, 2025
New York Jets wide receiver
Adonai Mitchell is coming off his best game as a pro in Week 13's defeat of the Falcons, but will face a more challenging test this Sunday in their division-rival Miami Dolphins. Mitchell was a force in last weekend's victory, pacing all Jets' pass-catchers in yards (102), receptions (eight), and targets (12) - all personal-bests. He also punched in the first touchdown of his 28-game career. It was a stellar performance for the second-year pro, who can hopefully build off it with some stability under center. Miami has been a favorable matchup for opposing quarterbacks, although their back-end has graded well this season, limiting fantasy wideouts to the ninth-fewest points per outing (28.11). That said, Mitchell has been a menace on out-breaking patterns, and the Dolphins haven't been as formidable on D over the past few weeks. The former Texas Longhorn is RotoBaller's PPR WR32 for Sunday's bout.

New York Jets running back
Breece Hall is slated for another superb matchup in Week 14 when his team squares off with the visiting Miami Dolphins. Hall hasn't been the most efficient of rushers since New York's Week 9 bye (3.61 yards per carry [70 rushes]). However, he's the PPR RB14 over that stretch in terms of points per game (14.4). He'll get a dream outing against a porous Dolphins' rush defense this weekend that's afforded opposing ground games the fourth-most yards per contest (137.5). Hall's involvement in the passing attack took a step back in Week 13, but he should see more work there on Sunday, as the Dolphins give up a good amount of receptions to RBs (57). The Iowa State alum ranks as RotoBaller's RB9 in PPR formats ahead of this weekend's slate of action.
--Alex CiullaSource: ESPN
December 6, 2025
New York Jets quarterback
Tyrod Taylor picked up his first win of the season in last weekend's home clash with the Falcons and will look to keep the team in playoff contention with a matchup against the Miami Dolphins on tap this Sunday. The Virginia Tech product has been a serviceable signal-caller for New York over the previous two weeks, moving the offense at a moderately improved clip compared to his predecessor,
Justin Fields (knee). Taylor will get a Dolphins' pass defense in Week 14 that doesn't yield much yardage, although they're a favorable spot for QBs, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position (18.98). With new teammates
Adonai Mitchell and
John Metchie III emerging in the Jets' aerial attack, the veteran boasts modest appeal as a back-end streaming option. Still, he's better suited to superflex formats given his low ceiling. Taylor is RotoBaller's QB20 for this weekend's outing.
--Alex CiullaSource: ESPN
December 6, 2025
New Orleans Saints tight end
Juwan Johnson brought in five of nine targets for 39 yards in the Week 13 loss to the Dolphins. The nine targets were a team-high and his most since Week 2. He will look to build on this momentum in a matchup against the Buccaneers, where he had five receptions for 53 yards earlier in the season. The Saints will be shorthanded for the contest, with running back
Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) ruled out and receiver
Chris Olave (back) questionable to play. Through four games with
Tyler Shough under center, Johnson has recorded an 18-202-2 stat line. Even if Olave suits up, Johnson will operate as a TE1 in what should be a pass-heavy offense against a Buccaneers team allowing 247.5 passing yards per game.
