Dare Ogunbowale HOU vs ARI

I'm all in on Woody Marks this week. After Nick Chubb got hurt, Marks had a whopping 26 carries on an 87% snap share, and Dare Ogunbowale only had one snap (he annoyingly scored a TD with it). Marks was starting to take a stranglehold on the lion's share of touches anyway, and Chubb missing this upcoming game would only boost that. Arizona is getting decimated by the run right now.

Keep an eye on the status of Josh Jacobs. If he misses, Emanuel Wilson is set for a heavy workload. When he started against Minnesota, Wilson went 28-102-2, but bear in mind that matchup was softer. ... The Chiefs have given up the eighth-fewest FPPG to RBs. Both Omarion Hampton and Kimani Vidal are risky starts after getting a complete 50-50 timeshare last week.

Quinshon Judkins is an "if you need him" play this week against the Bears. He's still safely getting all the volume, but is averaging 3.2 YPC over his last eight and is not remotely involved in the passing game. ... The Seattle backfield remains an exhausting thing to predict, but game script suggests both Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet should be heavily involved against the tail-spinning Colts.

I expect Tyrone Tracy Jr. will be on the positive end of about a 60-40 timeshare with Devin Singletary. Tracy is flex-playable against a Washington team that has given up 5.4 YPC over the last five games, and the Giants have an implied total of 25. ... RJ Harvey's matchup is not friendly, but he had 23 touches on a 68% snap share last week (both season highs).

Devin Neal controlled 19 of 23 RB carries for New Orleans last week in the Saints' win against Tampa Bay, and they can further play NFC South spoiler with a win over Carolina. The Panthers have allowed the seventh-most FPPG to RBs. ... TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson are in almost a completely even split for New England, but are both flex-playable against the run-funnel Bills. Buffalo has allowed 5.5 YPC over the past six weeks.

The Michael Wilson debate is going to be a fun one this week. In three games without Marvin Harrison Jr., Wilson has 36 catches (on 49 targets) for 445 yards, which puts him in high-end WR1 territory. However, this matchup is as bad as it gets against Houston. With Arizona's team total of 16 points, there's more downside here than usual, but I'd still play him with his volume.

Washington has allowed the fifth-most FPPG to opposing WRs, and Wan'Dale Robinson has a team-high 62 targets from Jaxson Dart. ... DK Metcalf has 33 targets over the past four games, and Pittsburgh gets a soft matchup against the Miami secondary. The AFC North is wide open, and these two teams are both in must-win mode.

Jameson Williams has a 33% target share over the last two games without both Sam LaPorta and Brock WrightHe still has to contend with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jahmyr Gibbs, but the upside is enormous against the Rams, who struggle with the deep ball. ... Trevor Lawrence has been hyper-efficient when targeting Jakobi Meyers, as he has over an 80% catch rate. Meyers is also getting regular red-zone looks, and he's scored a TD in three straight games for Jacksonville.

I'm honestly concerned about starting Christian Watson this week, even with his recent level of play. Jayden Reed has returned for the Packers, and Watson is almost certainly going to get the shadow treatment from Patrick Surtain II. ... Courtland Sutton's stock is rising fast, as Pat Bryant will sit this week and Troy Franklin looks like he's getting doghoused.

Jayden Reed is viable in a pinch, as he received four targets and resumed his role in the running game. His snap share is almost certain to increase. ... Jayden Higgins has five targets in back-to-back games. He's a low-floor play, but his ceiling is elevated slightly by the matchup against the Cardinals.

Harold Fannin Jr. went off against the Titans for an 8-114-1 line on 11 targets, and he leads the team in targets, catches, first-down receptions, and red-zone targets from Shedeur Sanders. His 26.1% target share from Sanders in Week 14 was a season-high, and he gets a favorable matchup against the Bears this week. David Njoku has been ruled out for this game.

Theo Johnson is another tight end who's in a supreme spot this weekend. He's the TE8 in fantasy since Jaxson Dart took over, and the Commanders have allowed the second-most FPPG to TEs. ... Anyone in the Rams' passing game is viable to start this week, including Colby Parkinson, who has become an additional red-zone threat for them.

Keep firing up Brenton Strange even though he busted last week. He's logging 2.39 yards per route run since returning, and the Jets defense is crumbling. ... Dallas Goedert is difficult to trust even coming off an 8-78-0 day. He had a combined 16 catches TOTAL the previous six weeks.

Dalton Kincaid is arguably the Bills' best weapon in the passing game, and the Patriots have allowed the sixth-most receptions and eighth-most FPPG to TEs. ... AJ Barner's role is growing in the Seahawks offense, and the Colts have been much softer over the middle against the TE position.

Two weeks ago, Marcus Mariota carved up a tough Denver defense, throwing 50 passes and adding 55 more yards on the ground with his legs. His full arsenal of WRs is healthy, and the Giants defense has underperformed all year. There may be a culture shift with Shane Bowen fired, but the G-men have still allowed the fourth-most FPPG to opposing QBs.

This should be a peak performance from Brock Purdy. He's had the bye to rest, and so have his teammates. The Titans have allowed the second-highest YPA (8.1) and the eighth-most FPPG to QBs. ... You're not necessarily sitting Patrick Mahomes, but keep in mind he'll be behind a third-string left tackle and second-string right tackle. The Chargers have allowed the third-fewest FPPG to QBs.

Jared Goff has to be considered startable in the headline game of the week with a 54.5 O/U, but the Rams have been completely stifling QBs, especially at home. It's fair to call Goff "boom-or-bust," but I think there's more boom than bust here. ... C.J. Stroud is in an elite spot against Arizona. The Cardinals have allowed 35.4 PPG over their last five and will likely be down key secondary pieces.
