Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver
Tee Higgins made his return to the field during Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Higgins was forced to sit out the Week 13 Thanksgiving victory due to a concussion. He returned this weekend and made a huge splash on the field despite snowy conditions in Buffalo. Higgins hauled in six of his 11 targets for a team-high 92 yards and two touchdowns during the 39-34 loss on Sunday. This marked the first time that Higgins had seen double-digit targets since Week 7. It also marked the first time that Higgins and quarterback
Joe Burrow have played together since Week 2. Clearly, the chemistry is still there, as the two hooked up on 21- and 25-yard scores on Sunday. The duo will look to keep the good times rolling in a rematch against the Ravens next weekend.

Tennessee Titans running back
Tony Pollard had 25 carries, 161 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Cleveland Browns. His touchdowns came on long runs from 32 and 65 yards out, respectively. Pollard's big performance seemed to come out of nowhere. Over the last three weeks, he struggled to amass more than a dozen touches per game, averaged fewer than 4.5 yards per carry, didn't score a touchdown, and essentially split snaps 50/50 with
Tyjae Spears. However, that entire dynamic changed this Sunday as Pollard shattered his previous season-high rushing attempt total (20) and posted his best fantasy performance of the season. Pollard played well early in the game, so it seems like Tennessee simply rode the hot hand and kept him in the game as long as he continued to play well. That same trend should continue in Week 15 against the San Francisco 49ers, and Pollard has the early advantage over Spears, given his excellent showing this Sunday. He's back into the RB2 tier for Week 15.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Jaxon Smith-Njigba bounced back in a big way during Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Smith-Njigba gave fantasy managers a dud last week when he finished with two receptions for 23 yards in the win over the Minnesota Vikings. The third-year wideout was much more involved this weekend. Smith-Njigba scored his first touchdown of the day on a 28-yard play in the third quarter. He found the end zone a second time on a four-yard pass in the fourth. The 23-year-old hauled in seven of his 10 targets for 92 yards and two scores in the blowout win. He'll look to continue his MVP-type season against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15.

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback
Shedeur Sanders completed 23 of his 42 pass attempts for 364 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 14 loss against the Tennessee Titans. Sanders' completion rate was suboptimal, and he didn't quite get the home victory after a questionable two-point play call backfired in the fourth quarter. However, he still delivered a terrific performance for fantasy managers who were forced to start him due to other quarterbacks' bye weeks or injuries. The 23-year-old's fantasy value remains a bit uncertain heading into Week 15 against the Chicago Bears, but at the very least, managers can rest assured that he has strengthened his hold on the starting quarterback job. Going forward, he ranks as a fringe top-20 fantasy quarterback in redraft leagues.

Buffalo Bills quarterback
Josh Allen completed 22 of his 28 pass attempts for 251 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also rushed the ball nine times for an additional 78 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. Allen led three consecutive touchdown drives to erase a 10-point deficit and pull ahead by multiple possessions. This was one of Allen's best games of 2025, and it erased the bitter feeling of amassing just two touchdowns and three turnovers over his last two contests. The 29-year-old continues to rank as the top-scoring quarterback in fantasy football this season, and he remains a must-start fantasy quarterback heading into Week 15 against the New England Patriots. He had two passing touchdowns and 53 rushing yards in his last outing against the Patriots.

Miami Dolphins running back
De'Von Achane (rib) did not suffer any fractures during Sunday's Week 14 win over the New York Jets. He exited in the second quarter and did not return, but head coach Mike McDaniel said that Achane could have come back into the game if necessary. Instead, he was replaced by
Jaylen Wright, who exploded for 24 carries, 107 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown. McDaniel's comments seem to indicate that Achane has a good chance to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15, but fantasy managers should still check back for updates as the upcoming week progresses.

Minnesota Vikings running back
Jordan Mason rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown as his squad crushed Washington 31-0 on Sunday. The first-year Viking was involved early by capping a 98-yard scoring drive with an eight-yard touchdown in the second quarter that established a 14-0 cushion that set up Minnesota to control the game the rest of the way. Encouragingly for managers who roster Mason, the split between Mason and Jones was close, as the pair took 11 and 14 carries, respectively. The Vikings have been a volatile, unpredictable team this year, but Mason is doing just enough to deserve week-to-week lineup consideration. He'll see another strong matchup when Minnesota travels to Dallas in Week 15.

Washington Commanders tight end
Zach Ertz (knee) is feared to have torn his ACL during Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, according to head coach Dan Quinn. Ertz exited during the second half of the 31-0 defeat and was visibly emotional while being carted to the locker room. Washington is now 3-10 and will miss the playoffs, but the loss will be felt nonetheless, especially given how Ertz's veteran presence impacted the team both on and off the field. If his season-ending injury is confirmed,
Ben Sinnott will step up as the Commanders' No. 1 tight end for the rest of the year.

Minnesota Vikings running back
Aaron Jones Sr. put together a solid, if unremarkable, fantasy day by rushing for 76 yards on only 14 carries as the Vikings routed Washington 31-0 on Sunday. While the veteran was effective on the ground, his overall fantasy output was lessened with no touchdowns and no catches on a single target. Backfield mate
Jordan Mason scored the lone rushing touchdown of the game as Minnesota split carries 14-11 in favor of Jones. Most encouragingly, quarterback
J.J. McCarthy completed 16 of 23 passes and threw three touchdowns with no interceptions, and the offense predictably opened up with some semblance of a passing game. Managers will hope for a similar showing from Jones and the Vikings in a plus matchup with Dallas in Week 15.

The Minnesota Vikings scored a thorough 31-0 victory against the Washington Commanders on Sunday, but star wide receiver
Justin Jefferson finished the day with only two catches on four targets for 11 yards. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Jefferson was hampered by something completely unexpected this week: The Vikings were ahead by so much that the team leaned on the running attack and took Jefferson out of the game in the fourth quarter. Vikings quarterback
J.J. McCarthy threw no interceptions and tossed three touchdown passes, but all three were to tight ends. It was yet another letdown for fantasy managers who roster Jefferson, though Sunday certainly gave some hope that Minnesota's offense can actually move the ball again. The superstar receiver will put managers in a bind next week, as he'll take a continued slump into a great matchup against a struggling Dallas defense.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that quarterback
Daniel Jones' Achilles injury could be season-ending. Steichen couldn't confirm the exact severity or timeline, but he said that it's "not looking good." If Jones' season is officially over, it will be an abrupt ending to his Comeback Player of the Year candidacy. The former first-round pick out of Duke had drastically exceeded expectations during his first year with Indianapolis, completing 68% of his passes for 3,101 yards, 19 passing touchdowns, and eight interceptions. He also had 164 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns. The Colts are already without
Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye), so losing Jones for an extended period of time would bump
Riley Leonard into the starting role. Indianapolis is 8-5 and would slot into the No. 7 seed in the AFC playoff picture if the season ended today.

December 7, 2025
Minnesota Vikings quarterback
J.J. McCarthy threw three touchdown passes in a game for the first time in his career as the Vikings throttled Washington 31-0 on Sunday. The second-year quarterback finished the day by completing 16 of 23 passing attempts for 163 yards, added 19 rushing yards on six carries, and, crucially, did not commit a turnover. Even against one of the NFL's bottom-tier defenses, McCarthy's performance was a sigh of relief following weeks of persistent struggles. McCarthy led scoring drives of 61 and 98 yards on the Vikings' first two possessions, and the Minnesota defense pitched a shutout to let the offense lean on the running game thereafter. The Vikings are effectively out of the playoff picture, but will use the rest of the season to take a long look at McCarthy, whose career-best 129.2 passer rating on Sunday was a strong first step in the right direction. He'll see another plus fantasy matchup against a leaky Dallas pass defense in Week 15.

Washington Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels (elbow) is still expected to play again this season despite exiting Sunday's Week 14 contest with an injury. Head coach Dan Quinn said that Daniels could have returned to the game, but the team decided to exercise caution and hold him out. He also noted that Daniels will return this season, and he won't be shut down. "It's an important development time for him," Quinn said. Injuries have plagued the 24-year-old in his second pro season, as he has missed part of eight different games. It sounds like Daniels has a chance to play in Week 15 against the New York Giants, giving the Commanders an opportunity to bounce back from this weekend's 31-0 loss against Minnesota. If Daniels can't suit up,
Marcus Mariota will step in as the Commanders' No. 1 quarterback.

Baltimore Ravens running back
Keaton Mitchell (knee) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. He finished the game with 76 rushing yards on six carries, headlined by a big 55-yard run. The 23-year-old adds a burst of speed to the offense, so his absence will be felt. With
Justice Hill (neck) and Mitchell both sidelined,
Rasheen Ali will step into the backup running back role behind
Derrick Henry.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Xavier Weaver (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Los Angeles Rams. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction after missing Friday's practice. The Cardinals are extremely short-staffed at wide receiver with Weaver,
Greg Dortch (chest), and
Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) all sidelined. Wide receiver
Michael Wilson and tight end
Trey McBride will operate as Arizona's top targets.
Andre Baccellia, Trent Sherfield, and
Jalen Brooks will round out the rest of the wide receiver room.
