  • Christian Kirk, Tre Herndon Won't Return For Jags On Monday

    Headshot for Christian Kirk

    The Jacksonville Jaguars downgraded wide receiver Christian Kirk (groin) and cornerback Tre Herndon (concussion) from questionable to out for the rest of the Monday night contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. Kirk was injured on the first possession of the game for the Jaguars offense when he caught a 29-yard pass. Herndon was hurt shortly after in the first quarter of action, and both players could be questionable to play on a short turnaround in Week 14 against the Cleveland Browns. Kirk looked to be in a substantial amount of pain after his injury and was walking very gingerly into the locker room. If he misses time beyond Monday night, Calvin Ridley and tight end Evan Engram should see even more targets, with Zay Jones moving up to the No. 2 receiver role behind Ridley.

  • Christian Kirk Is Questionable To Return On Monday With Groin Injury

    Headshot for Christian Kirk

    Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk (groin) exited Monday night's game in the first quarter with a groin injury and he has been deemed questionable to return. He was able to haul in his only target of the game for 26 yards, but losing him is a big blow to this offense. Kirk consistently sees either the most or second most targets on the team in each game and he has been the most consistent fantasy contributor among the Jaguars' pass-catchers. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for more updates throughout this game.

  • Ravens Not Considering Zach Ertz

    When asked about whether the team would consider adding free-agent tight end Zach Ertz, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said, "We like our tight ends. I think right now we'll roll with those guys." Mark Andrews (ankle) is expected to miss the rest of the season, but the Ravens are comfortable using second-year tight end Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar to replace him the rest of the season. Ertz was released by the Arizona Cardinals last week and is free to sign with any team. The veteran tight end wants to go somewhere he can win another Super Bowl ring, with the Bills, Chiefs and Eagles seemingly his best options. Philly makes the most sense given Dallas Goedert's (forearm) injury and the fact that Ertz began his career with the Eagles.

  • Travis Etienne Jr. Officially Active On Monday

    Headshot for Travis Etienne

    Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (ribs) is officially active for Monday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals to close out Week 13 action. Etienne was listed as questionable on the final injury report, but he was always expected to play after being limited in practice last week. There's a chance that the 24-year-old loses a few snaps to backups D'Ernest Johnson and rookie Tank Bigsby on Monday, but he should continue to be Jacksonville's clear lead back. Etienne is currently the RB3 in half-PPR scoring this year and should be locked into all starting fantasy lineups, especially against a Bengals defense that has allowed the second-most rushing yards per game (139.6) in 2023.

  • Tyler Higbee Clears Concussion Protocol, Dealing With Stinger

    Headshot for Tyler Higbee

    Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (neck) has cleared the league's concussion protocol but is dealing with a neck stinger after taking a hard hit in the Week 13 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Higbee came out of nowhere for his first two touchdowns of the year in Week 12 and had two receptions on four targets for only 35 yards in the win over Cleveland before getting knocked out of the game. We'll have a better idea of whether Higbee can play in Week 14 against the Baltimore Ravens when the Rams begin practicing on Wednesday. Even if he's active, fantasy managers should consider him a low-upside TE2 in a tough matchup. Hunter Long and Brycen Hopkins would have bigger roles for the Rams at the position if Higbee misses any time.

  • Puka Nacua's Shoulder Injury Not Expected To Affect Availability

    Headshot for Puka Nacua

    Los Angeles Rams rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua (shoulder) suffered an AC sprain in his right shoulder in the Week 13 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, according to head coach Sean McVay, but the Rams doesn't expect the injury to impact Nacua's availability for a Week 14 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. The 23-year-old also had to leave Sunday's game briefly due to cramping, but he finished out the 36-19 win and had four receptions for 105 yards and a touchdown to continue his amazing rookie campaign. Fantasy managers should expect Nacua to miss some practice time this week but to ultimately suit up in a tough matchup this weekend against Baltimore. As long as he's active, Nacua has become a must-start in fantasy lineups in 2023.

  • Ezekiel Elliott On The Week 14 Injury Report

    Headshot for Ezekiel Elliott

    New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott (thigh) is on the Week 14 injury report and was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report. Elliott's status this week takes on added importance heading into Thursday night's clash against the Pittsburgh Steelers with lead back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) unlikely to play after spraining his ankle in the Week 13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Elliott saw a season-high 17 carries on Sunday but picked up only 52 rushing yards (3.1 yards per carry) and caught four of five targets for an extra 40 yards in the shutout loss. If Zeke is able to play in Week 14, he'll be a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex with an increase in volume as the Patriots' go-to option in their backfield.

  • Dorian Thompson-Robinson Remains In Concussion Protocol

    Headshot for Dorian Thompson-Robinson

    Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol on Monday. Thompson-Robinson suffered a concussion in the Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos and sat out in favor of veteran Joe Flacco in the Week 13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The 24-year-old will likely go back to starting under center for the Browns when he's healthy, but he should be considered questionable, at best, to play in Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In his first action of 2023, Flacco went 23-for-44 for 254 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in a serviceable performance after just recently being signed by Cleveland.

  • C.J. Uzomah Will Go On Injured Reserve

    Headshot for C.J. Uzomah

    New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that tight end C.J. Uzomah (knee) will go on Injured Reserve after injuring his knee in the Week 13 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Going on Injured Reserve will require Uzomah to miss four games, so there's a good chance he won't play again in 2023 with only five games remaining. The 30-year-old suffered a sprained MCL on Sunday. Uzomah has been well off the fantasy radar in New York this year with only eight catches for 58 yards and one touchdown in 12 games played. Tyler Conklin will continue serving as the team's top pass-catching tight end, while Jeremy Ruckert will be the No. 2 the rest of the way in New York.

  • Zach Wilson To Start Again In Week 14 For Jets?

    Headshot for Zach Wilson

    The New York Jets want to make a switch again at quarterback after benching Tim Boyle for Trevor Siemian in their Week 13 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, and they are leaning towards Zach Wilson taking over. However, he is reportedly reluctant to step back in and the Jets are discussing their next steps. Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) reached out to Wilson in an effort to advise him to resume the starting role. Head coach Robert Saleh said he's not ready to name a starting QB for Week 14 against the Houston Texans. "Let's be clear, if he were reluctant to play, he wouldn't be here," Saleh said of Wilson. The 24-year-old QB is apprehensive due to perceived injury risk as it pertains to his future value to another organization beyond this season. Wilson is probably New York's best option to lead the offense as long as Rodgers is out, but it he'll remain nothing more than a low-end QB2 option if he starts in Week 14.

  • Packers Unsure On Severity Of Christian Watson's Injury

    Headshot for Christian Watson

    Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said they don't know yet if the hamstring injury that wide receiver Christian Watson suffered at the end of the Sunday night win over the Kansas City Chiefs is as severe as the one that kept him out for the first three games of 2023. The good news is Watson looked to be moving around better on Monday during a brief sighting in the locker room. Before the 24-year-old's injury in Week 13, he had seven catches for 71 yards and two touchdowns while adding 15 rushing yards on two carries. We may not know much more on Watson's status until Green Bay begins practicing on Thursday for their Monday night game in Week 14 against the New York Giants. A questionable tag would make fantasy managers' decision to start Watson even more difficult this week. If Watson is forced to miss time, Romeo Doubs and rookies Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks would work in three-receiver sets for the Packers.

  • Tank Dell Has Surgery, Done For The Year

    Headshot for Tank Dell

    Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Tank Dell (leg) underwent surgery on Monday for the broken fibula he suffered in the Week 13 win over the Denver Broncos, and head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed that Dell will miss the rest of the season. It's a big blow to the Texans' offense, as Dell had become one of their top receivers after being taken in the third round earlier this year. The promising 24-year-old pass-catcher will finish his first NFL campaign with 47 receptions for 709 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games played. He added 51 rushing yards on 11 carries. It's a bad ending to his first season, but Dell should maintain plenty of long-term fantasy value with quarterback C.J. Stroud in Houston. With Dell now out, Nico Collins, Noah Brown and veteran Robert Woods should see more targets as the Texans battle for a playoff spot.

  • Robert Woods Fails To Earn A Target Against Broncos

    Headshot for Robert Woods

    Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods did not see a single target in the team's 22-17 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 13. The veteran pass-catcher played 32 snaps on Sunday but was not one of the eight Texans to see a pass come their way. However, with Tank Dell (leg) out for the season with a fractured left fibula, Woods is back on the fantasy radar in deep leagues. Nico Collins and Noah Brown have brighter fantasy outlooks, but Woods was still ahead of John Metchie III in total offensive snaps played last week. Unless that changes, Woods has low-end flex appeal in one of the best passing offenses in the NFL.

  • Royce Freeman Logs One Touch Against Browns

    Headshot for Royce Freeman

    Los Angeles Rams running back Royce Freeman rushed just one time for no yards and did not see a target in the Week 13 win over the Cleveland Browns. It was a disappointing development for fantasy managers who utilized him as a deep-league flex play. After his usage on Sunday, he can no longer be trusted in fantasy lineups. That said, he remains a bench stash in case Kyren Williams has to miss any time down the stretch. Darrell Henderson is on the team's practice squad, so Freeman looks to have beat him out. It's worth noting Ronnie Rivers (knee) could return from Injured Reserve soon.

  • Derek Carr In Concussion Protocol And Dealing With Rib Injury

    Headshot for Derek Carr

    New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (concussion/ribs) is in concussion protocol and is being evaluated for a rib injury after suffering a vicious hit in the loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. The veteran signal-caller was also thought to have a shoulder injury, but it seems to be fine, according to a source. Carr suffered his second concussion in a month, so there's a good chance he misses the Week 14 game against the Carolina Panthers. Jameis Winston will start for New Orleans in that case. Taysom Hill could also see more work as a wildcat quarterback. The Panthers have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season, so Winston is not set up to be a viable single-QB league streamer.

  • Derrick Henry Not In Concussion Protocol

    Headshot for Derrick Henry

    Updating a previous report, Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel clarified on Monday that running back Derrick Henry (head) is not in the league's concussion protocol. It was reported earlier on Monday that Henry was in the protocols after suffering a head injury in the Week 13 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. It's good news for King Henry, but it's still concerning that he never returned to the game, and his status for Week 14 against the Miami Dolphins next Monday could be in question. The good news is the bruising running back had a highly productive game before his injury, rushing 21 times for 102 yards and two touchdowns. Rookie Tyjae Spears had a season-high 16 carries for 75 yards against Indy and is deserving of a waiver-wire pickup this week, especially if you have Henry rostered.

  • Kenny Pickett Out For Week 14, Mitch Trubisky To Start

    Headshot for Mitchell Trubisky

    Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle) underwent tightrope surgery on a high-ankle sprain on Monday and has been ruled out for the Week 14 game on Thursday night against the New England Patriots. The good news is he's week-to-week and will avoid Injured Reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games. Mitch Trubisky will make the start this Thursday, which is bad news for a Steelers offense that looked improved in their Week 12 win in the first game without offensive coordinator Matt Canada. The 29-year-old Trubisky, a former second overall pick in 2017 by the Chicago Bears, has plenty of experience but will be a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues for however long he's starting for Pittsburgh. He 11-for-17 for 117 yards and a touchdown in relief of Pickett in the 24-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

  • Juwan Johnson Fails To Produce In Week 13

    Headshot for Juwan Johnson

    New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson was a popular streaming target for Week 13 action with six teams on bye. Fantasy managers that went that route came away pretty upset, though, as Johnson failed to haul in all three of his targets in the 33-28 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. His first target of the game on the team's first offensive possession clanked off his hands and to a Lions defender for an interception. It was an early sign of how Johnson's day was going to go. It was the 27-year-old's first zero-point day of the season. Johnson will have better days ahead, but he has failed to top 50 receiving yards in all eight of his games this year and has found the end zone just once (back in Week 9). At best, he'll be a touchdown-dependent TE2 in the Week 14 contest versus the Carolina Panthers.

  • A.T. Perry Not Very Involved Against Lions

    Headshot for A.T. Perry

    New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver A.T. Perry was expected to have an expanded role in the passing game in Week 13 against the visiting Detroit Lions with Rashid Shaheed (thigh) ruled out. That wasn't the case in the 33-28 loss on Sunday, as Perry was targeted three times and caught just one of them for a 30-yard pickup. As has been the case for most of the year, top receiver Chris Olave and running back Alvin Kamara were the primary weapons through the air and combined for 16 targets and 11 receptions. The 24-year-old sixth-round pick out of Wake Forest has only four receptions on nine targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in his first five NFL games in 2023. Even if Shaheed misses the Week 14 game against the Carolina Panthers, Perry will be hard to recommend as a deep-league flex, although he could have more upside if quarterback Jameis Winston gets a start over the injured Derek Carr.

  • Logan Thomas Doesn't Do Anything In Blowout Loss

    Headshot for Logan Thomas

    The Washington Commanders offense really couldn't get anything going in the 45-15 shellacking by the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in Week 13. No Washington pass-catcher exceeded 65 yards on the day or found the end zone. Tight end Logan Thomas, meanwhile, couldn't secure his only target of the day to give fantasy managers that started him a bagel in the score column. It was his second straight disappointing game, as Thomas had only two catches for 15 yards in last week's blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. The Commanders will go back to the drawing board during their bye in Week 14, and Thomas will come out in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Rams hoping to be much more productive. Fantasy managers will find him hard to trust in that one as a high-end, touchdown-dependent TE2.

  • Rondale Moore Has Just One Catch In Week 13

    Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore's day in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers could have been much more fruitful, but he ended the 24-10 upset win with just a six-yard pickup on his only catch (two targets). Moore secured a long touchdown catch in the back of the end zone that was called back due to an offensive penalty and he did very little else on a day in which the Cardinals didn't need to throw the ball much after building an early lead and never being threatened by a Steelers offense that lost quarterback Kenny Pickett to an ankle injury early in the first half. He had a 48-yard touchdown catch (his first of the year) in Week 11 but has posted three catches for 41 yards in two games since. The 23-year-old hasn't gone over 50 yards receiving in a single game in 2023 and has a bad matchup in Week 15 against the San Francisco 49ers after a bye in Week 14.

  • Cade Otton Not Targeted At All In Week 13

    Headshot for Cade Otton

    Fantasy managers that chose to stream Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton in Week 13 with six teams on bye came away extremely disappointed with the results and were left with a donut. Otton wasn't targeted at all in the team's 21-18 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. As usual, No. 1 receiver Mike Evans did the heavy lifting for the Bucs through the air with a 7-162-1 line in Tampa's fifth win of the season. It was the first time all year that Otton hasn't seen a target. Other than a two-touchdown performance in Week 9 against the Houston Texans, the 24-year-old has not gone over 50 receiving yards in a contest in 2023. He'll most likely bounce back in Week 14 against the Atlanta Falcons, but Otton has been a low-upside, touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer, at best.

    Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch scored his first touchdown of the year in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but he couldn't continue the momentum in Week 13's upset win in Pittsburgh over the Steelers on Sunday. Dortch finished with just one catch on three targets for a 19-yard gain. More was expected of Dortch in this one with rookie Michael Wilson (shoulder) missing his third straight game and the fact that No. 1 wideout Marquise Brown aggravated his heel injury in this game and didn't catch a single pass. But the Cardinals jumped out to an early lead and never really needed to put their foot on the gas pedal with the passing offense in a game that was delayed twice due to thunderstorms in the area. The Cardinals head into their bye in Week 14, so Brown could be ready to go for Week 15 against the San Francisco 49ers.

  • Derek Carr In Concussion Protocol

    New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (concussion, back, shoulder) left the Week 13 loss to the Detroit Lions in the fourth quarter after a hard shot and never returned, and he's officially in the league's concussion protocol on Monday. Carr had to be carted off the field and is also dealing with back and shoulder injuries. The 32-year-old seemingly has been hurt almost every week but hasn't missed any time in 2023. This situation with multiple injuries could be different, though. Jameis Winston replaced Carr and nearly led the Saints back and could be in line to start in Week 14 against the Carolina Panthers. Carr is now in the concussion protocol for the second time in the last three games, so it seems likely he'll need to sit out at least one game.

    Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson was not targeted at all in the team's 27-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. In recent weeks, the 27-year-old seemed to be carving out a role in this offense that's devoid of strong wide receivers. He scored in each of the last two games and earned 11 targets two weeks ago against the Eagles. Rookie Rashee Rice led the wideouts on Sunday, but Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Richie James, and Skyy Moore all saw more looks than Watson. His snap shares didn't take a hit. He was just unable to get open. Watson is avoidable in the majority of leagues and the Chiefs prepare to host the Buffalo Bills.

    Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson caught two of his five targets for 23 yards in the team's 45-15 blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins. The Commanders, unsurprisingly, fell behind quickly to one of the best offenses in the league. Instead of throwing to try and catch up, Ron Rivera stayed committed to the running game. Sam Howell only ended up throwing 23 passes, completing 12 of them. The Commanders take their bye in Week 14 (the final bye week of the season). Dotson has been a disappointment for the majority of the season and does not need to be rostered through the bye in standard-sized leagues. The Rams, Jets, and 49ers are on the schedule when they return to play.

Undrafted rookie quarterback Tommy Devito has led New York to two straight victories (albeit over Washington and New England), so the team may decide to stick with the youngster during this lost season. It's worth watching as the Giants prepare to host the Green Bay Packers in Week 14. Regardless of who is the starter, neither signal caller is worth a roster spot in single-quarterback formats.

The rookie saw just five targets on the day and fell behind Alec Pierce (six targets, three catches for 100 yards) on the afternoon. Michael Pittman Jr. led the way in the Indianapolis receiving game once again. After looking like a weekly starter in the middle of the season, Downs has let managers down in four straight games, although in two of those he was limited due to a knee injury. He'll match up against a soft Cincinnati secondary in Week 14 but it's difficult to trust the rookie as anything more than a WR4 right now.

The concussion puts his status in doubt for a Monday night tilt against the Miami Dolphins.

The former seventh-rounder finished the day with three catches on four targets for 44 yards and a touchdown. That's about as good as it's going to get as long as San Francisco's other pass-catchers are healthy. If Jennings becomes a starting option in fantasy, then something has gone terribly wrong in San Francisco. It was nice to see the role-player get a well-deserved touchdown, but he can be ignored in Week 14 a home game versus the Seattle Seahawks.

    San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel backed up a lot of smack talk in a 43-19 victory over the Eagles in Philadelphia on Sunday. The 27-year-old had been publicly doubting the skills of the Eagles secondary in the media for months, so Sunday was a good day for a four-catch, 116-yard, two-touchdown performance. Samuel also had it going on the ground, taking three carries for 22 yards and another touchdown. His two receiving touchdowns were a season-high and he's now scored three rushing touchdowns in his last four games. Samuel is tough to predict because unlike the week-to-week matchup-based uncertainty surrounding many of the receivers near him in the rankings, Samuel's biggest obstacle to consistency is the production of his teammates. The 49ers' uber-talented pass attack will meet the bottom-10 Seattle Seahawks pass defense at Levi's Stadium in Week 14.

Aiyuk has now caught exactly one touchdown in each of San Francisco's last four games. Fantasy managers could be forgiven, though, for wanting a bit more fantasy production on Sunday given the final score. Aiyuk and the 49ers host a beatable Seattle Seahawks pass defense in Week 14 and fantasy gamers will hope it's Aiyuk's turn for a monster performance in this too-many-mouths-to-feed offense.

    Headshot for Rashee Rice

    Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice remained heavily involved in Week 13's 27-19 defeat to the Green Bay Packers, racking up a team-high eight catches on nine targets for 64 yards. Rice was tackled just shy of the goal line on a four-yard gain in the third quarter before tailback Isiah Pacheco punched it in for a touchdown on the ensuing play. Rice nearly lost a costly fumble during K.C.'s final drive, but it was overruled upon further review. It was still very encouraging to see the Chiefs scheme the ball into Rice's hands and feature him early and often, with the rookie wideout even drawing a pass interference penalty in the fourth quarter and a dominant 30% target share overall. Rice's playmaking may finally be receiving well-deserved recognition by the coaching staff, and the 23-year-old should find himself firmly situated along fantasy's WR3 line with WR2 upside in a potential shootout with the Buffalo Bills in Week 14.

  • Isiah Pacheco Stars On SNF Before Ejection

    Headshot for Isiah Pacheco

    Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco was busy in Week 13's 27-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers, taking 18 carries for 110 yards and a touchdown with three catches for 13 yards. Pacheco's longest gain came on a 26-yard rush during K.C.'s first drive. There was perhaps no better way for Pacheco to boast his trademark violent rushing style than on a 13-yard carry on the third quarter's final play, dragging a pack of Green Bay defenders on his way near the goal line. The 24-year-old experienced two injury scares after getting his body bent backward awkwardly in the third quarter and then his leg later that period, but the relentless tailback only needed a brief respite from play on both occasions. Pacheco's eventful night came to a close when he threw a punch during K.C.'s final possession, causing his disqualification. He will once more set up as a safe RB2 with lots of upside in Week 14's clash with the Buffalo Bills and their leaky run defense.

  • Christian McCaffrey With 133 All-Purpose Yards, Touchdown

    Headshot for Christian McCaffrey

    San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey demonstrated again why he's considered matchup-proof in a 42-19 rout at the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. In the marquee matchup, McCaffrey took 17 carries for 93 yards and a touchdown while tacking on three receptions on four targets for 40 yards receiving. Philadelphia came into the game allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to running backs, but you wouldn't have known by watching McCaffrey take chunks of yardage from the Eagles. Following an anxiety-inducing first quarter, he started finding yards after the catch and on rushes, especially working the left side. There is no reason to believe that CMC won't deliver the goods next week when the 49ers host the Seattle Seahawks, as he just put up 139 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns in Seattle 10 days ago on Thanksgiving night.

  • Travis Kelce Surpasses 80 Yards Once More

    Headshot for Travis Kelce

    Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was held to a season-low five targets in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers, closing with four catches for 81 yards. The Packers somehow left Kelce unguarded for a 23-yard gain on K.C.'s second drive. Kelce found another huge hole in Green Bay's zone defense for a 21-yarder on the first play of the second half, before quarterback Patrick Mahomes connected with Kelce for 27 more yards later that possession. Kelce looked to be in peak form while eating up several chunk gains in Week 13's loss, but the 34-year-old red-zone threat has only reached the end zone once in his last five outings after hitting paydirt four times during his first six contests. After posting his second consecutive showing with at least 80 yards, however, Kelce will still almost certainly top Week 14 TE1 rankings once again in a duel with the Buffalo Bills next Sunday.

  • Patrick Mahomes Limited In Box Score Again

    Headshot for Patrick Mahomes

    Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 21-of-33 passes for 210 yards, one touchdown, and an interception with four carries for 26 yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers. K.C. fell into an early double-digit hole in Week 13 just as they did last Sunday but weren't able to storm back this time around, as Mahomes was outdueled by Jordan Love on SNF. Mahomes hooked up with Noah Gray for a one-yard score early in the fourth quarter, and cornerback Keisean Nixon ran Skyy Moore's route for him on Mahomes' pick at a key moment. Mahomes and Co. came up just short in this showcase of offensive efficiency, as there wasn't a three-and-out on either side until the fourth period. Diminished box-score returns have become a common theme for Mahomes without a strong receiving corps, but he will be a QB1 with plenty of upside in Week 14's showdown with the Buffalo Bills and their injury-riddled defense.

  • Jayden Reed Not A Big Part Of Week 13 Win

    Headshot for Jayden Reed

    Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (chest) didn't contribute much to Sunday's 27-19 home triumph over the Kansas City Chiefs, chipping in four catches (five targets) for 16 yards. Reed battled through a chest injury that he's been managing for the last two weeks, turning in his lowest yardage total since Week 5. Essentially splitting No. 2 wideout duties with Romeo Doubs behind Christian Watson (hamstring), Reed hasn't been the most reliable fantasy option overall this year. The second-round rookie also saw a three-game touchdown streak reach a close, having now eclipsed the 60-yard threshold in only two of his 12 games in Year 1. Reed could find more room to roam in Week 13 during a much more forgiving draw against the New York Giants next Monday night, and he could be in for an expanded role if Watson can't suit up.

  • Romeo Doubs Tallies Most Yards Since September

    Headshot for Romeo Doubs

    Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs led his team in receiving yardage during Week 13's 27-19 home victory over the visiting Kansas City Chiefs, tallying four receptions on five targets for 72 yards. Doubs' highlight of the night came as he held onto a 33-yard Jordan Love bomb on fourth down during the second quarter, which eventually led to a scoring drive. It was the 23-year-old's highest yardage output since Week 4, as he's more or less settled in as a low-end fantasy WR3 amid Christian Watson's (hamstring) recent hot streak. But Watson suffered a hamstring injury late in Sunday night's win, which could potentially set up Doubs as Love's top target next Monday night in an advantageous matchup against the New York Giants.

  • Brock Purdy Tosses Four Touchdowns In Philly

    Headshot for Brock Purdy

    San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy threw for 314 yards and four touchdowns by completing 19 of 27 attempts in the team's impressive 42-19 victory at the Philadelphia Eagles. NFL fans saw what might have been if Purdy hadn't injured his elbow in the opening drive of last year's NFC Championship Game loss to the Eagles. By blowing out the team with the best record in the league, Purdy has rekindled some of the MVP talks that swirled around his name just before San Francisco's three-game losing streak. Though Purdy has established himself as a legitimate fantasy starter in standard leagues, his set of matchups moving forward includes decent pass defenses in the Cardinals and Seahawks and a tough one against Baltimore. But Purdy managers who make it to a Week 17 championship will have a tasty matchup against the league-worst Washington Commanders' pass defense, which just got shredded by Miami.

  • AJ Dillon Scrapes Up 87 Yards Against Chiefs

    Headshot for AJ Dillon

    Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon filled in serviceably for the injured Aaron Jones (knee) in Week 13's 27-19 victory over the visiting Kansas City Chiefs, rushing 18 times for 73 yards with one 14-yard catch. Dillon ran fairly well on Sunday night, regularly bouncing off tacklers for some tough extra yards, as he's become known to do. The 25-year-old power back was held out of the end zone for the seventh straight game, however, even on a night where the Packers offense was able to move to ball very effectively against a tough Chiefs defense. Dillon is now averaging only 56.0 rushing yards on 15.6 carries with one total touchdown in five games without Jones this year, but he took 18 of a possible 21 RB carries in this one. He would remain a volume-dependent RB2 if Jones isn't able to suit up for a plus draw next Monday night against the New York Giants, but Dillon would revert back to RB3 territories if the starter returns.

  • Jordan Love Adds Three More Scores To Recent Rise

    Headshot for Jordan Love

    Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love was superb in Week 13's 27-19 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, completing 25-of-36 passes for 267 yards and three touchdowns with two carries for 10 yards. Love followed up an outstanding Thanksgiving performance that saw him carve up the Detroit Lions in Week 12 with an equally impressive showing on Sunday Night Football. The first-year starter was consistently on point with his passes, surgically picking apart one of the NFL's strongest pass defenses with his second consecutive three-score effort. Love is beginning to resemble the promising passer we saw during the first month of the season, rather than the inferior one we watched during the middle portion of the season. With at least 267 passing yards and multiple TDs in each of his last four games, a heating-up Love looks like a fine QB1 option in Week 14 next Monday night against the New York Giants.

  • Trey McBride Arrives In Week 13 Upset Win

    Headshot for Trey McBride

    Arizona Cardinals tight-end Trey McBride hauled in eight catches for 89 yards and a touchdown in the team's 24-10 Week 13 win over Pittsburgh. McBride has arrived, as he had six more catches, six more targets, and 68 more receiving yards on the day than any other player in the Arizona offense. It was an excellent performance highlighted by three catches of at least 15 yards, including a five-yard TD just before halftime. Since quarterback Kyler Murray returned, McBride has at least 60 receiving yards in three of four contests and appears to be attempting to make a run at upper-tier status for the position by the end of the year. McBride and the rest of the Cardinals will have a Week 14 bye before a tough Week 15 showdown against the 49ers.

  • James Conner Explodes Against His Former Team In Week 13 Victory

    Headshot for James Conner

    Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner carried the rock 25 times for 105 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-10 Week 13 win over the Steelers. Conner topped 20 carries for just the second time on the season and was able to turn in a strong effort against his former team. His outing was highlighted by a long gain of 29 yards with a pair of touchdowns of one and nine yards out to cap off the stellar day. Conner and the rest of the Arizona offense will face a much stiffer test against the 49ers in Week 15 after returning from their Week 14 bye. He should remain an RB2 for that matchup.

  • Christian Watson Delivers Huge Night Before Exiting

    Headshot for Christian Watson

    Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) was continuing his recent resurgence before going down with a hamstring injury in the fourth quarter of Week 13's 27-19 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Watson collected a season-high seven of his nine targets for 71 yards and two touchdowns with two carries for 15 yards before his night ended. Watson appeared to be trying to burn some clock on a 24-yard Jordan Love touch pass as the Packers nursed a late lead on Sunday, but he pulled up lame near the end of the play while clutching at his right hamstring. It's a tough break for the 24-year-old, who was finally starting to free himself from a funk that plagued him for most of the year after a bad hamstring cost him the season's first three games. Watson's practice status will be one to monitor during Week 14 preparation, but he'll at least have an extra day to heal for a favorable matchup next Monday night against the New York Giants.

  • Kyler Murray With Mediocre Stat Line In Week 13 Upset

    Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray completed 13 of 23 passes for 145 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions in Sunday's 24-10 Week 13 win over the Steelers. He also had nine rushes for 20 yards. Murray didn't exactly post great numbers, as the Cardinals leaned on the run game more than usual to dispatch Pittsburgh. This game was odd in that it included two rain delays, so the mediocre stat line wasn't unusual. Despite the conditions, Murray led his team to victory and added his sixth touchdown in the campaign. Arizona will be on bye in Week 14 before taking on the 49ers in a tough Week 15 contest, and Murray should maintain his status as a high-end QB2 for that matchup.

  • Jerry Jeudy Has Yet Another Mediocre Stat Line

    Headshot for Jerry Jeudy

    Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy reached 50 receiving yards for the seventh time in 11 games in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Houston Texans. However, he caught only three passes on four targets for 51 yards and did not find the end zone. The 24-year-old did have a nice 41-yard catch in which he was forced down just before reaching paydirt for what would have been only his second touchdown of 2023. Jeudy's three catches tied for the team-high in Week 13 in a contest in which quarterback Russell Wilson only chucked the ball 26 times. Jeudy has been underwhelmingly consistent and will continue to have a low ceiling for fantasy managers if teammate Courtland Sutton keeps taking away all of the scoring chances for the Broncos through the air.

  • Courtland Sutton Scores Ninth Touchdown Of The Year

    Headshot for Courtland Sutton

    Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton continued his scoring ways in Week 13's 22-17 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday when he found the end zone for the ninth time this year. Sutton broke a five-game TD streak in last week's win over the Cleveland Browns, but he was able to get into the end zone again in Week 13 on a 45-yard bomb deep down the field to get the Broncos back into the game in the second half. Sutton only had two receptions on the day, but he did lead the team with seven targets as he continues to be quarterback Russell Wilson's favorite target through the air. The 28-year-old has had a high floor as a WR3/flex in fantasy lineups in 2023 and could continue to thrive in a good matchup next week against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers.

    Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee could not keep it rolling in the team's Week 13 win against the Cleveland Browns. Higbee caught just two of his four targets for 35 yards. This performance is not surprising considering Cleveland has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. The 30-year-old has been inconsistent all season long and has yet to earn every week fantasy starter worthiness. Higbee should be considered a high-end TE2 and only started if absolutely needed in his Week 14 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.

    Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was the second leading receiver in the team's 36-19 win against the Cleveland Browns. Robinson caught four of his five targets for 55 yards and a touchdown through the air. Robinson has been taking a large majority of Tutu Atwell's snaps over the last two weeks and is now benefiting from it. While he still should not be considered much of a fantasy option going forward, there could be some DFS value in his Week 14 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.

Mingo wound up leading the Panthers in catches, targets, and receiving yards in the loss to the Buccaneers while also setting career highs in those three categories. The rookie has been seeing an increased role of late as he has 10 catches for 129 yards combined over his past two games. Mingo will look to stay hot against the New Orleans Saints in Week 14.

The 5th-round rookie caught four of his seven targets for 105 yards, including a 70-yard first-quarter touchdown. Nacua also handled two carries for 34 yards. Despite his recent inconsistencies, the 22-year-old has proven to be the most trustworthy fantasy receiving option on the team over Cooper Kupp. While watching his injury status throughout the week, consider Nacua as a high-end WR2 in his Week 14 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.

    Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins had a career day in the team's 22-17 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 13. Collins totaled nine catches for 191 yards and one touchdown in the contest. His nine catches and 191 receiving yards are both career highs. Quarterback C.J. Stroud found the wideout early in the fourth quarter on a three-yard score to cap off an impressive game. The third-year wide receiver continues to be heavily involved in Houston's offense and could find himself getting more opportunities with Tank Dell (leg) out for the season.

It appears that the Panthers want to get rookie second-rounder Jonathan Mingo more involved moving forward, which would be a bad thing for Thielen with the fantasy playoffs quickly approaching.

Pierce ran 15 times for 41 yards and one score on Sunday, marking his most carries since Week 5. The young running back scored on a three-yard run late in the first quarter to extend Houston's lead. The 23-year-old back dealt with an ankle injury just a couple of weeks ago that caused him to miss three games. But that ankle appeared to be fully healed in Week 13. He'll look to carry that momentum next week on the road against the New York Jets.

    Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp finally gave some production in the team's 36-19 win against the Cleveland Browns. The former All-Pro caught six of his eight targets for 39 receiving yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown. Kupp was still not his dominant self, but surpassed four catches and got into the endzone for the first time since Week 6. Considering the tough matchup and his recent slump, this stat line is refreshing for those rostering him. In yet another difficult matchup with the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14, consider Kupp as a low-end WR2.

After leading Houston's backfield with 12 touches for 72 yards last week, Singletary failed to get much going on Sunday. He totaled just eight carries for 36 yards while catching one pass for four yards in the contest.

His interception came midway through the fourth quarter with the Browns down 20-19. He also took a sack for a safety late in the fourth.

Williams continued to lead this backfield, but he only had three more carries than quarterback Russell Wilson and still hasn't rushed for a touchdown in 2023. The 23-year-old just hasn't been very efficient with his touches for the most part this season and has lacked explosiveness. Williams has shown some flashes, but for the most part, he hasn't looked like the same back from before his season-ending knee injury early in 2022.

Wilson finished 15-for-26 for 186 yards -- the eighth time this year he's been under 200 yards passing -- one passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown on 10 carries for 44 yards. The Texans defense had Wilson under pressure all day, although he did manage to find favorite receiver Courtland Sutton for a 45-yard bomb to get the team back in the game in the second half. The 35-year-old signal-caller nearly led Denver to a game-winning drive with time expiring in the fourth quarter, but it ended with his third pick in the end zone. Wilson has taken care of the ball and has been efficient in 2023, but that wasn't the case in Week 13. He'll look to bounce back in Week 14 in a divisional clash against the Los Angeles Chargers.

  • Alec Pierce Goes For 100 Yards And Touchdown In Week 13 Win

    Headshot for Alec Pierce

    A surprise name coming out of Indy's 31-28 overtime win against the Tennessee Titans was Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce. Pierce caught three of his six targets for a whopping 100 yards and a touchdown. Pierce served as the big play threat for Indy, catching a 39-yard touchdown early in the game and then a 55-yard reception in overtime to help Indy seal the win. Pierce has largely been off the fantasy radar this season, as he has not had a game this year where he has eclipsed 60 yards before today. The second-year receiver could be an intriguing waiver wire pickup for this week, and likely only worth a start in deeper formats for their Week 14 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

  • Drue Tranquill Being Evaluated For A Concussion

    Headshot for Drue Tranquill

    Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Drue Tranquill (head) is questionable to return to Sunday night's game after taking a knee to the head by AJ Dillon in the first quarter. He's being evaluated for a concussion and the team has yet to give an update on his status. Jack Cochrane will take his place in this game until they find out if he can return. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for more updates and to see if he'll miss any more time if he doesn't return to this contest.

  • Kenny Pickett Will Be Out 2-4 Weeks After Surgical Procedure On Monday

    Headshot for Kenny Pickett

    Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle) is expected to undergo a surgical procedure on Monday for his injured ankle and he will miss 2-to-4 weeks. The Pitt product was forced to leave their game against the Cardinals in the second quarter after hurting the ankle that was giving him issues throughout the week. The team's fears came true as he'll now need a surgical procedure to fix the issue. In his place, Mitchell Trubisky will take snaps under center while Mason Rudolph is slated to be the primary backup.

  • Xavier Gipson Paces Jets Receivers In Loss

    Headshot for Xavier Gipson

    New York Jets wide receiver Xavier Gipson recorded five receptions for 77 yards on six targets in a Week 13 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. This was the best showing yet by the rookie, who has seen his snap counts rise in recent weeks. He secured a deep ball from starting quarterback Tim Boyle for a gain of 36 yards in the second quarter and later came down with a 25-yard pass from Trevor Siemian. Although New York's struggling offense keeps Gipson off the fantasy radar in most redraft leagues, he'll be worth monitoring in dynasty formats as Allen Lazard is seemingly being phased out. The 22-year-old will hope to carry this momentum into a Week 14 matchup against the Houston Texans.

  • Zack Moss Gets 19 Carries In Week 13 Win

    Headshot for Zack Moss

    With Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (thumb) out, it was running back Zack Moss who was asked to carry the load in the team's 31-28 overtime win against the Tennessee Titans. Moss carried the ball 19 times for 51 yards, reeling in two catches for an additional six yards through the air. Moss was primed for a big day given his track record of games where Taylor (thumb) doesn't play, but fantasy managers might be slightly underwhelmed with his performance today. The good news is that Moss saw every running back opportunity in the matchup, as backup running back Trey Sermon didn't see any touches. This a good sign for what's to come in the next few weeks in Taylor's (thumb) absence, and Moss should still be included in most lineups in Week 14 when the Colts face the Cincinnati Bengals.

  • Tyler Conklin Sees Nine Targets In Week 13

    Headshot for Tyler Conklin

    New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin finished with three receptions for 35 yards on nine targets in a Week 13 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Conklin led the team in targets as he frequently received looks from quarterbacks Tim Boyle and Trevor Siemian. Unfortunately, the 28-year-old is still yet to find the end zone this season and has been held to fewer than 40 yards in three straight games. He has an excellent matchup against the Houston Texans next week and can once again be considered a desperation streaming option, especially if Siemian is named the starter.

  • Gardner Minshew Throws For Over 300 Yards In Week 13 Win

    Headshot for Gardner Minshew

    Indianapolis Colts quarterback Gardner Minshew put together a strong performance to lead the Colts to a 31-28 overtime win against the Tennessee Titans. Minshew completed 26 of his 42 attempts for 312 yards, throwing touchdowns to both wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce. Minshew took decent care of the ball, throwing no interceptions but he did lose one of his two fumbles on the day. Minshew remains primarily a streaming option, but the fifth-year man can be started in some lineups in Week 14 when the Colts square off against the Cincinnati Bengals

  • Michael Pittman Jr. Goes For 105 Yards And Touchdown In Week 13 Win

    Headshot for Michael Pittman

    Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. was a pivotal part of the Colts' 31-28 overtime win against the Tennessee Titans. Pittman reeled in 11 of his 16 targets for 105 yards and a walk-off touchdown in overtime to seal the game. Pittman led all pass-catchers in targets once again, solidifying his position as a potential WR1 for the rest of the fantasy season. Fantasy managers should look to include Pittman in lineups in Week 14 when the Colts square off against the Cincinnati Bengals.

  • Hunter Henry Catches Two Passes In Week 13 Loss

    Headshot for Hunter Henry

    New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry turned four targets into two catches for 15 yards during Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. There was some hope that he might have a solid game with Bailey Zappe under center, but that wasn't the case. He remains off the fantasy radar heading into the Week 14 edition of Thursday Night Football versus Pittsburgh.

  • Garrett Wilson Totals 50 Yards In Week 13 Loss

    Headshot for Garrett Wilson

    New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson secured three of his seven targets for 50 yards in a 13-8 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. All three of his receptions came on passes from quarterback Tim Boyle, who was benched for Trevor Siemian early in the fourth quarter. The 23-year-old continues to look the part of a difference-making receiver, but his fantasy value is greatly impacted by the ineffective nature of New York's offense. Although Siemian failed to connect with Wilson on Sunday, he should be considered a slight upgrade from Boyle if named the starter for Week 14. Wilson's fantasy managers will want to monitor the situation heading into a matchup against the Houston Texans.

  • Kyren Williams Scores In Win

    Headshot for Kyren Williams

    Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams was productive in the team's Week 13 win against the Cleveland Browns. Williams rushed the ball 21 times for 88 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown. He also caught three of his five targets for 24 yards through the air. The second-year back out of Notre Dame has solidified himself as the workhorse back for the team and is undeniably a weekly RB1, regardless of the matchup. Treat Williams as an RB1 once again in a tough Week 14 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.

  • Jaylen Waddle Gathers 52 Yards In Win

    Headshot for Jaylen Waddle

    Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle put up an average fantasy performance while pacing the team in targets in the 45-15 win over the Washington Commanders. Waddle caught five of his eight targets for 52 yards which was tied for the team lead in receptions. The issue is that Tyreek Hill turned the same five receptions into 157 yards and two scores. Waddle had some momentum with a 100-yard game in the week before but failed to turn any of his receptions into a big gain. He'll look to get back on track against a susceptible Titans defense in Week 14.

  • Raheem Mostert Salvages Week 13 With A Score

    Headshot for Raheem Mostert

    Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert put together a lackluster performance if it wasn't for a touchdown late in the first half. The veteran back registered 43 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries and caught his lone target for eight yards. He was clearly the second fiddle in the backfield as De'Von Achane saw 17 carries compared to his 11. The snap share between these two will be something to watch as the season moves forward. Mostert will look to continue his scoring ways against the Titans in Week 14.

  • Matthew Stafford Dominates Despite Tough Matchup

    Headshot for Matthew Stafford

    Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford produced once again in the team's 36-19 win against the Cleveland Browns. Stafford completed 22 of his 37 pass attempts for 279 yards and three passing touchdowns. He also had one carry for a loss of two yards. The veteran QB did not have a tough time on Sunday, despite facing the number one pass defense in the entire league. Stafford now has his best two games of the season in the last two weeks, totaling 508 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and just one interception. Consider Stafford as a low-end QB1 in another tough matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14.

  • Dalvin Cook Leads Jets In Rushing Against Falcons

    Headshot for Dalvin Cook

    New York Jets running back Dalvin Cook turned nine carries into 35 yards and secured one of two targets for 11 yards in a Week 13 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Cook saw double-digit touches for the first time since Week 3 and was more effective on the ground than starter Breece Hall. Given Hall's recent struggles, Cook could continue to see an uptick in opportunities down the stretch. Still, the 28-year-old will not offer much upside for fantasy purposes in New York's putrid offense. A matchup against the Houston Texans awaits in Week 14.

  • Mike Evans Explodes For 162 Yards

    Headshot for Mike Evans

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans made easy work of the Carolina Panthers defense on Sunday. The veteran wideout hauled in seven of his 12 targets for 162 yards and one touchdown in the win. Honestly, it could've easily been a 200-yard game for Evans if quarterback Baker Mayfield didn't miss him on a few throws. Regardless, it was a great game for Evans as he notches his 10th straight season of at least 1,000 receiving yards. Fantasy managers should have him on the WR1 radar for next week's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

  • De'Von Achane Returns To The End Zone In Week 13

    Headshot for De'Von Achane

    Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane posted a much better performance this time around in his return from injury. The rookie back finished with 17 carries for 73 yards and two touchdowns while catching three of his four targets for 30 yards. Achane may have taken the lead role over as he saw a combined 20 touches compared to Raheem Mostert's 12. He'll look to keep that momentum going against the Tennessee Titans in Week 14.

  • DeVante Parker Targeted Nine Times Sunday

    Headshot for DeVante Parker

    New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker turned nine targets into four catches for 64 yards during Week 13 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. With Demario Douglas (concussion) inactive, Parker operated as the Patriots' top pass-catcher and played a key role. Even more promising than his four catches were his nine targets; he presumably would've turned more of those targets into receptions if not for the poor weather conditions in the New England area on Sunday. If Douglas remains out for Thursday's game against the Steelers, Parker can be a viable volume-based WR3/FLEX play in fantasy football.

  • D'Andre Swift Held To Just 20 Total Yards, Leaves With Undisclosed Injury

    Headshot for D'Andre Swift

    Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift (undisclosed) took six carries for 13 yards and caught two of four targets for seven yards during the team's 42-19 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 24-year-old took a nasty hit late in the game and left for the locker room with an undisclosed injury. There is no update at this time. The Eagles threw the ball 45 times, which tied for a season-high on Sunday, leaving little work for Swift. To make matters worse, Kenneth Gainwell was in often and was worked into the passing game at a much higher rate. As long as Swift's injury is not serious, he will continue to be an RB2 moving forward but will face a Dallas defense in Week 14 that is no slouch against the run.

  • Tua Tagovailoa Posts An Efficient Performance

    Headshot for Tua Tagovailoa

    Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa saw his fewest pass attempts all year but was able to lead the team to a 45-15 win over the Washington Commanders. He ended with 280 yards and two touchdowns while completing 18 out of his 24 attempts. Both of his touchdown throws were deep bombs to none other than Tyreek Hill. Tagovailoa isn't necessarily a matchup-proof option, but if he's facing a bottom-half defense, then he becomes a must-start. In Week 14, he'll take on the Titans who happen to fit that description.

  • Chris Godwin Held Without A Reception

    Headshot for Chris Godwin

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (neck) was uncertain to suit up coming into Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Despite that, Godwin was cleared to play, but didn't bring much to the table in this game. He was held without a catch on three targets during the win. He was able to somewhat salvage his fantasy value with a 19-yard rushing touchdown. Fantasy managers can be hopeful for better days ahead for the veteran wideout. Godwin should be considered a WR3 in PPR formats for the Week 14 matchup versus the Atlanta Falcons.

  • Bailey Zappe Uninspiring In First Start Of 2023

    Headshot for Bailey Zappe

    New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe completed 13 of 25 passes for 141 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He also took five sacks and added 16 rushing yards. Zappe played turnover-free football in his first start of the year, but he also had a low yardage total and failed to lead a single scoring drive. He'll get another opportunity in Week 14 versus the Steelers but isn't on the fantasy radar.

  • Rachaad White Totals 84 Yards

    Headshot for Rachaad White

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White found himself struggling once again on the ground during Sunday's game. The young back rushed 20 times for 84 yards and scored a touchdown in the win over the Carolina Panthers. White also added three receptions for 22 yards through the air. Fantasy managers are thankful for the touchdown as that helped salvage his fantasy value. The Bucs have no other viable options at running back, so White should continue getting the ball at a high rate. Fantasy managers should consider White a RB2 for next week's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
