Atlanta Falcons quarterback
Kirk Cousins completed 21 of his 33 passes for 234 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets. The 37-year-old looked
Kyle Pitts Sr.'s way most often (eight targets), which has been the case in each of his three starts this season, but again spread the ball around, with seven different receivers earning two or more targets, and he also found
David Sills V for a touchdown pass for the second straight week. The veteran QB draws a tough matchup in Week 14 as the Falcons host the Seahawks in Atlanta, a defense that has been in the bottom third in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. It will at least be a home matchup, and there is still a chance that the team's No. 1 receiver,
Drake London (knee), will return for Sunday's contest. Even so, Cousins figures to be in the lower end of the QB2 ranks in Week 14.

In the lowest-scoring offense (14.2 points per game) in the league, Tennessee Titans running back
Tyjae Spears has a low ceiling and low floor for fantasy managers, and he should only be rostered in point-per-reception leagues. In the Week 13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, Spears had two rushing attempts for a loss of one yard, but he salvaged his fantasy day by catching all six of his targets for 25 yards through the air. The 24-year-old's six catches were tied for the team lead, and his six targets were second on the team. Since returning from Injured Reserve due to a high-ankle sprain, Spears has a very modest 39 carries for 158 yards and one touchdown while adding 28 receptions for 173 yards on 30 targets in eight games. Fantasy managers cannot count on him to produce on the ground -- he's had more than five carries in a game only twice in eight games. Spears has had at least five targets in each of the last three games, though, which makes him a low-upside RB3/flex in deep PPR leagues going into a tough Week 14 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Across 11 games since being acquired by the Philadelphia Eagles, running back
Tank Bigsby has recorded just 18 carries for 164 yards. As long as star Eagles running back
Saquon Barkley remains healthy, there appears to be a firm ceiling on Bigsby's playing time and opportunity for touches. The 24-year-old has logged double-digit offensive snaps in just one game this season. However, Bigsby's average of 9.1 rushing yards per attempt is a clear indicator of his significant production upside if Barkley were to suffer an injury. In a larger, 168-carry sample size across 16 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024, Bigsby averaged 4.6 yards per attempt and scored seven rushing touchdowns. Bigsby's never provided much production as a receiver, so fellow Eagles back
Will Shipley would likely handle passing-downs work even if Barkley were to go down. Still, Bigsby is a high-end handcuff option who is worth rostering in fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Across 13 games this season, San Francisco 49ers running back
Brian Robinson Jr. has recorded 72 carries for 328 yards and two touchdowns. While the 26-year-old has been productive when given the opportunity in his first season in San Francisco, his playing time upside is capped by the presence of superstar 49ers running back
Christian McCaffrey. Robinson Jr. has yet to play more than 18 offensive snaps or log double-digit carries in any game this season. However, as the fantasy playoffs approach, Robinson Jr. could be worth rostering as a premium handcuff option. He's averaging a career-best 4.6 yards per rush attempt this season and would immediately profile as a starting fantasy running back if McCaffrey were to miss time due to injury. In leagues with 12 or more teams, Robinson Jr. could be worth rostering and stashing through San Francisco's Week 14 bye.

New York Giants tight end
Theo Johnson posted modest production in his team's Week 13 loss to the New England Patriots, recording just three catches for 29 yards. However, the 24-year-old tied his single-game season-high with eight targets. Across the last five games he's played with Giants quarterback
Jaxson Dart, Johnson has hauled in 19 catches for 217 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson also rarely leaves the field in New York, playing at least 89% of the Giants' offensive snaps in three out of the last four weeks. With the Giants on their bye week in Week 14, fantasy managers desperate for a win may be forced to drop Johnson. In leagues with 12 or more teams, Johnson could be worth targeting on the waiver wire and stashing through his bye week, given his favorable Week 15 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

After starting the season as the lead running back for the Houston Texans,
Nick Chubb has now ceded the RB1 role to Texans rookie back
Woody Marks (foot). Still, Chubb gets his share of touches each week for Houston and scored his third rushing touchdown of the season in the team's Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Perhaps most importantly for Chubb's production outlook, Marks briefly left the game against Indianapolis with a foot injury. While the 24-year-old was able to return and finish the contest, there's a chance the injury could linger and lead Houston to limit Marks' touches in Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Chubb's upside is limited, but he's logged six games with double-digit rush attempts this season and could find the end zone against the Chiefs. In deeper fantasy leagues, Chubb could be worth targeting on the waiver wire heading into Week 14.

In his first game action of the 2025 season, Detroit Lions wide receiver
Tom Kennedy recorded four catches for 36 yards on four targets in his team's Week 13 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Kennedy was signed off the practice squad leading into Week 13 to replace Lions wideout
Kalif Raymond (ankle), and then forced into a more prominent role when star Detroit wide receiver
Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) exited the game early due to an ankle injury. Both Raymond and St. Brown are uncertain to play in Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football, which could mean another week with significant playing time for Kennedy. Outside of wide receiver
Jameson Williams and running back
Jahmyr Gibbs, the injury-plagued Lions are desperate for pass-catching talent. Across 25 career NFL games, Kennedy has recorded 18 receptions for 231 yards on 30 targets. In deep fantasy leagues, he could be worth targeting on the waiver wire in case Raymond and St. Brown remain sidelined in Week 14.

December 2, 2025
Across 12 games this season, Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver
Pat Bryant has recorded just 18 catches for 273 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets. However, the 22-year-old has played some of his best football in recent weeks. Over his last three games, Bryant has recorded nine catches for 167 yards on 15 targets. Bryant has earned at least six targets in each of the last two weeks, and he played a season-high 70% of Denver's offensive snaps in the team's Week 13 win over the Washington Commanders. While
Courtland Sutton and
Troy Franklin are relatively established as the top two wide receivers in Denver, it appears Bryant is carving out a role down the stretch of the season. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams, Bryant is worth targeting on the waiver wire and stashing through Denver's Week 14 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back
Kenneth Gainwell saw just five carries for 20 yards and secured two of his three targets for 25 yards in a 26-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills. After delivering two straight performances as a fantasy RB1, Gainwell logged his lowest snap share since Week 9 and ceded both targets and goal-line work to
Jaylen Warren. Though Gainwell should remain involved down the stretch, it's clear that Pittsburgh prioritizes Warren as its primary ballcarrier. In Week 14, Gainwell will face the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, who have held running backs to the sixth-fewest fantasy points per contest and the 10th-fewest yards per carry over the past eight weeks. The game script could make Gainwell a necessary check-down option for quarterback
Aaron Rodgers, but fantasy managers should view him as a risky flex play on Sunday.

December 2, 2025
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
DK Metcalf caught three of his five targets for 32 yards in a 26-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills. While he managed to find the end zone in Week 12, Metcalf has now gone five consecutive games without surpassing 50 receiving yards. Pittsburgh's offense has been incredibly ineffective lately, especially through the air, making it hard to rely on any of its pass-catchers. Metcalf remains the only Steelers wideout worth rostering for fantasy purposes, but he is far from a must-start at this point. The Baltimore Ravens, who have tightened up defensively over the past eight weeks, are on tap for Week 14. Fantasy managers in need of a safe floor should explore other options, but Metcalf's explosiveness and talent still give him enough upside to profile as a WR3 or flex play.
--Jorden HillSource: ESPN
December 2, 2025
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver
David Sills V hauled in two of his four targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets. It was the second consecutive week in which the 29-year-old secured a touchdown pass from quarterback
Kirk Cousins. Surely fantasy managers who were desperate enough to deploy Sills were happy with the results, but there may not be much room for this hot stretch to run with such low volume being directed at the veteran and with the potential for
Drake London (knee) to return in Week 14 against the Seahawks. Interested managers may consider picking up the 6-foot-3 wideout off the waiver wire, then monitor practice reports for the rest of the week, and if London returns, cut bait with Sills. Seattle has been tough against the pass this season, but it's at least a home matchup in Atlanta on Sunday.

Detroit Lions All-Pro safety Kerby Joseph (knee) intends to return to the field this season despite being sidelined since Week 6 due to a nagging knee injury, multiple sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Joseph's injury is not considered career-altering, as some have speculated. The 25-year-old will seek treatment on his knee in the offseason, but he's hoping to be back on the field in the coming weeks. The Lions never put Joseph on Injured Reserve, and he was able to return to practice on Monday for the first time since his injury. He isn't going to be active this Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys, but it's possible he could return for a Week 15 game against the Los Angeles Rams. A reeling Lions defense would really benefit from the return of Joseph, who was a first-team All-Pro in 2024 when he had a career-high nine interceptions.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back
Jaylen Warren handled 10 carries for 35 yards and a touchdown while adding two receptions for nine yards on four targets in a Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills. In a game where almost everything went wrong for Pittsburgh, Warren was one of the lone bright spots. He gave the Steelers a 7-0 lead in the second quarter with a goal-line score, marking his fifth total touchdown of the season. In Week 14, he'll face the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, who have been strong against the run over the past eight weeks. Given how poorly Pittsburgh's offense has played lately, it's unlikely Warren delivers any league-winning performances down the stretch, but he's been good enough individually to remain in lineups as a steady RB2.
--Jorden HillSource: ESPN
December 2, 2025
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers (wrist) completed 10 of his 21 pass attempts for 117 scoreless yards in a 26-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Although he avoided throwing an interception, he committed a costly fumble early in the third quarter that was returned for a Buffalo touchdown. Rodgers appeared shaken up on the play and briefly ceded a series to
Mason Rudolph before returning later in the quarter, but he was unable to spark a comeback. After a strong start to the campaign, Rodgers has now gone four straight starts without throwing multiple touchdowns and hasn't eclipsed 200 passing yards since Week 9. He could bounce back in Week 14 against a Baltimore Ravens defense that just struggled to contain
Joe Burrow, but fantasy managers should still view Rodgers as no more than a low-end QB2.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end
Colston Loveland has earned a bigger role in the offense ever since his 118-yard performance in Week 9. Since then, Loveland has finished with 40 receiving yards in every game but one. Last week, Loveland saw six targets, which was the second-highest total of the year during the win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The 21-year-old figures to remain a consistent part of the passing game ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Loveland is on the TE1/2 borderline in fantasy football as he sees more involvement in Chicago's passing game, but he faces a difficult matchup this weekend. Green Bay has allowed the fewest half-PPR points to TEs in the last three games.

Atlanta Falcons running back
Tyler Allgeier has been a headache all season long for fantasy managers. Allgeier is the backup to
Bijan Robinson, but he continues to vulture touchdowns in goal-line situations. For example, Allgeier rushed eight times for 20 yards and a touchdown during last week's loss to the New York Jets. His touchdown plunge came from just one yard out after Robinson was held to no gain on the play before. This has been a theme all season long, as Allgeier has eight rushing touchdowns, but only 344 yards on the ground. That being said, Allgeier will remain a touchdown-dependent option ahead of the team's Week 14 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. It's a tough matchup for Allgeier against an elite Seahawks run defense (they allow the second-fewest rushing yards per game), so fantasy managers in 12-team formats should be able to find someone that isn't so reliant on TDs.

Free-agent right-hander Cody Ponce agreed to a three-year, $30 million deal with the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday, a source told Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Ponce is the second big pitching acquisition that Toronto has made this offseason after adding right-handed starter
Dylan Cease to a big seven-year contract worth over $200 million. The 31-year-old Ponce was a former second-round pick by the Milwaukee Brewers back in 2015. He'll be returning to the big leagues for the first time since 2021. In his 20 MLB appearances, Ponce had a 5.86 ERA with a 1.54 WHIP and 48:17 K:BB over 55 1/3 innings. He played three years in Japan and last season in Korea, where he had a fantastic 1.89 ERA and 0.94 WHIP over 180 2/3 innings to earn the league's MVP award. Ponce struck out 252 hitters. Toronto is hoping his swing-and-miss stuff the last few years overseas will translate to the AL East.

Carolina Panthers running back
Chuba Hubbard is coming off his best performance of the season in Week 13. Hubbard rushed for a season-high 83 yards in the win over the Los Angeles Rams. This was a great showing from Hubbard, who had been held to under 40 rushing yards in six straight games going into Week 13. The expectation is that Hubbard is going to regain some of the backfield duties going forward.
Rico Dowdle will still be in the picture, but we could be looking at a closer 50/50 split after Hubbard's strong performance on Sunday. Fantasy managers won't be able to get anything out of Hubbard this weekend with the Panthers on a bye. He's rostered in 64% of Yahoo leagues at the moment. At worst, Hubbard should offer flex value for the Week 15 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Hubbard will be a flex candidate to consider out of the bye week against a Saints defense that has allowed 126.9 rushing yards per game in 2025.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver
Malik Washington has moved into the No. 2 role in the offense, but he hasn't exactly been impressive. His best performance came when he hauled in four receptions for 36 yards and a touchdown in Week 8. Since then, Washington has only found the end zone once in four games. The 24-year-old has also been held to under 40 receiving yards in every game besides two this season. Washington does enough on the field to offer low-end flex value, but he clearly isn't going to give fantasy managers more than that right now. He's someone who can be avoided in most 12-team redraft formats. However, Washington could give deep-league fantasy managers low-end flex value against a suspect New York Jets secondary in Week 14.
--Andy WebbSource: Pro Football Reference
December 2, 2025
Atlanta Falcons tight end
Kyle Pitts Sr. led the team in receiving in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets, securing seven of his eight targets for 82 yards, all of which were team highs. The 25-year-old has been
Kirk Cousins' favorite receiving option this season, averaging around seven targets in each of the three contests Cousins has been under center. Sunday's yardage total was Pitts' highest output of the season, and he'll have a chance to keep the momentum going in Week 14 against a Seattle defense that is one of the most generous in the league in terms of allowing fantasy points to opposing tight ends. If
Drake London (knee) were to miss a third straight week, that would be a boon to the 6-foot-6 tight end's chances for another productive fantasy day, so make sure to keep an eye on the injury reports. Expect Pitts to be a lower-end TE1 with upside if London is out against the Seahawks.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver
Elic Ayomanor will have more opportunities the rest of the way with
Calvin Ridley (leg) out for the year. The assumption was that this would increase his fantasy value. However, Ayomanor hasn't been able to take advantage yet. In fact, Ayomanor has only hauled in three of his 11 targets for 16 yards in his last two games. Unfortunately, the rookie wideout just isn't on the same page as rookie quarterback
Cameron Ward right now. The only positive here is that Ayomanor has seen five or more targets in each of his last six games. The hope is that these two will build chemistry together, but fantasy managers don't have time to wait. The fantasy playoffs are looming, so managers cannot afford to get another dud. At this point, Ayomanor is a solid dynasty stash, but he isn't someone that can be trusted in starting lineups in 12-team redraft formats against a tough Cleveland Browns defense in Week 14.

Philadelphia 76ers guard
Quentin Grimes (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Washington Wizards. He started the day off with a probable tag, but has now been downgraded to out. Grimes played 47 minutes during the double-overtime loss to the Atlanta Hawks. It appears Grimes picked up the injury during that game, but should be considered day-to-day for now.
Justin Edwards and
Jared McCain should split up the playing time with Grimes unavailable. McCain is the more appealing streaming option between the two due to his scoring ability. McCain has scored 15 points or more in three of his last five games.

Philadelphia 76ers forward
Paul George (knee, back) is officially available to suit up ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. George continues to carry a questionable tag, but has been able to suit up in each of the last three games. The veteran forward has been dealing with a couple of injuries, but continues to play through them. He recorded a season-high five steals to go along with 16 points and seven rebounds during Sunday's game. George should see nearly 30 minutes of action with
Quentin Grimes (calf) remaining on the sideline. Fantasy managers should double-check that George is in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

The Houston Astros agreed to an undisclosed deal with free-agent right-hander
Ryan Weiss on Tuesday, a source told Brian McTaggart of MLB.com. Weiss, 28, will come over to the United States after pitching the last two years in Korea, and he's expected to pitch in a starting role. He made 46 starts for the Hanwha Eagles and had a 3.16 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 305 strikeouts in 270 1/3 innings pitched the last two seasons. Weiss pitched in independent ball in 2023. The soon-to-be 29-year-old hurler had a 2.87 ERA with 207 strikeouts and 56 walks in 178 2/3 innings over 30 starts for the Eagles this past season. Weiss has never appeared in a big-league game, so he'll be more of a long shot to open the 2026 campaign in Houston's starting rotation.

The Chicago Cubs announced on Tuesday that they signed free-agent infielder
Scott Kingery to a minor-league deal with an invite to major-league spring training, according to Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times. Kingery played in 19 games with the Los Angeles Angels this past season in the big leagues for the first time since his final season with the Philadelphia Phillies in 2022. He went 4-for-27 (.148) at the plate in Anaheim with a stolen base, 11 strikeouts, and three runs scored at the plate. The 31-year-old veteran will most likely serve as infield depth for the Cubbies next year if he remains in the organization, and Kingery is likely to begin the year at Triple-A Iowa. In 344 MLB games since his debut with Philly in 2018, Kingery has slashed .227/.278/.382 with 30 homers, 96 RBI, and 26 stolen bases. Nineteen of his career long balls came in his second season in 2019.

Charlotte Hornets guard
LaMelo Ball (wrist) is tagged as probable ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Ball has been battling with wrist soreness, but is expected to play through the pain. It didn't seem to affect his performance, as he scored 12 points with 14 assists during Monday's game. The absence of
Brandon Miller (shoulder) should mean increased ball-handling responsibilities for Ball. It doesn't seem like fantasy managers should be worried about the wrist issue right now.

Kiwoom Heroes third baseman Song Sung-mun of the Korean Baseball Organization will be posted for MLB teams this offseason, according to Jeeho Yoo of Yonhap News. Sung-mun's 30-day negotiating window with major-league teams will open at 8 am ET the day after MLB notifies its teams. The 29-year-old has been a late bloomer and has come on strong the last two years in Korea. He most recently hit .315/.387/.530 with 26 home runs, 90 RBI, and 25 stolen bases in 2025. Sung-mun is primarily a third baseman, but he also has the ability to move over to the keystone, if needed. He bats from the left side and throws right-handed. Like many position players who join MLB from overseas, Sung-mun could be vulnerable to the increased velocity of big-league pitchers, especially because he's known for having a long swing.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward
Brandon Miller (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game versus the New York Knicks. Miller is set to miss his second straight game after being scratched from Monday's contest due to a shoulder issue. It's worth noting that Miller missed time earlier in the season due to a left shoulder injury. It's possible that Miller re-aggravated the issue during Saturday's game. Regardless, Miller will miss his second straight game, but is tagged as day-to-day ahead of Friday's matchup versus the Toronto Raptors. His absence on Wednesday should mean more run for
Sion James and
Collin Sexton. Between the two, Sexton is the better fantasy option with six-straight games with 15 points or more.

Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports that Atlanta Hawks center
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) won't play Wednesday night versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Porzingis will be held out of action for the fourth consecutive contest due to illness. Despite playing in only 12 games this campaign, the 30-year-old big man is still a valuable fantasy asset as he's averaged 18.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 26.3 minutes. It's unknown if he'll be ready to go for Friday's matchup with Denver. In the meantime, while Porzingis is out,
Onyeka Okongwu remains a must-start at center in all fantasy formats. Okongwu is averaging 18.8 points and 7.3 rebounds across 10 starts this season.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver
George Pickens (calf, knee) upgraded to a full practice on Tuesday, according to Todd Archer of ESPN Dallas. Pickens is on the injury report for the second straight week with multiple injuries and was listed as limited on Monday. The 24-year-old was removed from last week's injury report and played 74% of the offensive snaps in the win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day last Thursday, hauling in six of a season-high 13 targets for 88 yards. Pickens has taken off with his move to Dallas and currently is the WR2 in half-PPR scoring through 13 weeks with 73 receptions on 105 targets for 1,142 yards and eight touchdowns in 12 games. He's tied for seventh among all wideouts (with
Justin Jefferson) in targets (105), is tied for fifth in receptions (with
Chris Olave and
Wan'Dale Robinson), and is second in the NFL in receiving yards. Pickens should be active on Thursday and is a must-start against the Detroit Lions in Week 14.
