Ian Thomas caught five of his 10 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown during the loss to the Falcons on Sunday. Thomas filled in for
Greg Olsen (concussion) and made the most of it by finding the end zone for the first time this season. With Olsen's status up in the air from now until the end of the year, he will be a priority waiver target this upcoming week as leagues progress through the fantasy playoffs.

Kendrick Bourne snatched three of four targets for 18 yards and two touchdowns in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. Bourne once again operated as the Niners third receiver and red zone weapon, converting a pair of six-yard touchdown grabs. With five scores in his last six contests, the reliable Bourne has the trust of quarterback
Jimmy Garoppolo but his light volume translates into risky fantasy value. He’ll be a touchdown-dependent WR5 in Week 15 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Allen Lazard caught two of three targets for 19 receiving yards in a 20-15 victory over the Washington Redskins. Lazard fell back down to earth after exploding for a career-high 103 yards against the Giants last week. The rookie fell victim to a bad performance by quarterback
Aaron Rodgers, though the Redskins deserve credit for limiting his big-play potential. Lazard can't be trusted unless the matchup is especially juicy, as he's failed to exceed 50 receiving yards in six of eight games this year. Up next is a Week 15 matchup with the Chicago Bears' strong defense.

Christian McCaffrey ran for 53 yards on 11 carries to go along with 82 yards on 11 catches during the loss to the Falcons on Sunday. For only the fourth time this season, McCaffrey failed to find the end zone, and while the team has virtually nothing to play for, the 23-year-old should stay active as he attempts to make a case to be named the league's MVP. Consider him a must-start, obviously, throughout the remainder of the season.

Raheem Mostert handled 10 carries for 69 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. He also caught two balls for 40 yards and a second score. For the second consecutive week, Mostert dominated backfield snaps and was a beast after first contact. His touchdown catch came in the second quarter on a 35-yard trick play from wideout
Emmanuel Sanders. Mostert later exploded through a hole for a 10-yard running score to close out the half. Playing the best football of his five-year career, Mostert has assumed firm control over the Niners rushing committee, outplaying both
Tevin Coleman and
Matt Breida. He deserves RB2 consideration in Week 15’s favorable matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

Davante Adams caught four of six targets for 41 yards in a 20-15 win over the Washington Redskins. It didn't help that quarterback
Aaron Rodgers threw for only 195 yards and one touchdown. Rodgers' poor performance and game script are likely why Adams saw a season-low six targets after compiling double-digit opportunities from Rodgers in four straight contests. Adams will look to be more involved in Week 15 against the stingy Chicago Bears.

Kyle Allen threw for 293 yards and a touchdown on 28-for-41 passing during the loss to the Falcons. He also ran one in for a score, but had two interceptions and fumbled twice. After not throwing a pick in his first four games after taking over
Cam Newton (foot), the 23-year-old now has 12 throughout his last seven games. Don't expect much from Allen moving ahead as the team enters survival mode to finish out the year.

Emmanuel Sanders recorded 157 yards and a touchdown on seven catches in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. He also threw a 35-yard touchdown pass. After battling a rib injury the past few weeks, Sanders looked fully healthy in Sunday’s shootout, leading the team in catches, targets and yards. His touchdown came on a 75-yard bomb in the second quarter when he smartly got up from the turf and raced to the house. His passing score came later in the quarter on a nifty trick play to running back
Raheem Mostert. With the Niners clicking offensively, Sanders fantasy value appears supported despite the emergence of wideout
Deebo Samuel and Mostert. He’ll carry WR3 value in Week 15 against a weak Atlanta Falcons secondary.

Vance McDonald (concussion) left Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals for further testing and is listed as questionable to return. The 29-year-old caught his only target for three yards in the game, which is a disappointing performance against the defense who has allowed 13 touchdowns to tight ends. It will be interesting to see if he passes protocol before next Sunday's game against the Bills, where he would likely be a non-fantasy factor.

Tevin Coleman toted just three carries for six yards in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. In a 48-46 thriller, Coleman’s second consecutive bust confirms that he’s been sidelined for
Raheem Mostert and
Matt Breida. He was seen early in the game but not much afterwards. After accruing just 128 rush yards in his last six games, Coleman is impossible to start heading into Week 15 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Auden Tate was forced to exit Sunday's loss to the Browns with an apparent knee injury. After recording his first and only catch of the game, the 22-year-old limped his way back to the locker room after initially being evaluated in the medical tent. Tate has been a semi-regular target for the team this year, logging 39 catches for 559 yards and a touchdown on 76 targets. While he wasn't a consistent source of production, he does have value in deeper leagues. Look for an update regarding his status for the Week 15 encounter with the Patriots, but if he is out, look for the recently-returned
John Ross to serve as the primary beneficiary.

Tyler Eifert caught all four of his targets for 49 yards during the loss to Cleveland on Sunday. After failing to surpass 21 receiving yards in each of his last four outings, this was one of the most efficient performances from the veteran on the year. Nonetheless, this season has still been a major disappointment for 29-year-old, with not much expected to change moving forward, especially in Week 15 against a rough
Patriots Defense.

Willie Snead was having a below-average performance in Week 14's matchup with the Buffalo Bills before reeling in a four-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. Snead caught 3-of-4 targets for a measly 13 yards but was quarterback
Lamar Jackson's most impactful receiver in the game. If tight end
Mark Andrews, who exited the game in the first quarter with a knee injury, is unable to go Thursday Night, Snead could see more involvement in the offense. Baltimore matches up against a
Jets Defense in Week 15 that has been relatively vulnerable against opposing wide receivers in 2019.

John Ross had two catches for 28 yards during the loss to the Browns on Sunday. Ross made his return to the lineup for the first time since Week 4 after missing some time with a chest injury. The upside is there, but his outlook for the remainder of the season is less than favorable, especially in Week 15, against a problematic
Patriots Defense. Nonetheless, he still has value in deeper formats for those who are looking for the 24-year-old to duplicate the success that he had through the first two weeks of the year.

Jamaal Williams picked up 24 rushing yards on seven carries and failed to register a reception on one target. Williams played second fiddle to
Aaron Jones, who exploded for 192 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. It's entirely possible that Williams, who was a late addition to the injury report on Thursday, was battling through a sore knee in this one. Perhaps that would explain why he was out-touched 22-seven by Jones. Still, Williams was in for 42 percent of the snaps, indicating that he'll maintain his role in the offense going forward. Williams and the Pack will take on the stingy Chicago Bears in Week 15.
