Chiefs | Brashard Smith totals two touches Sun Dec 14, 05:54 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Brashard Smith carried twice for just a single yard in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers, and he was not targeted in the passing game.
Link to storyNew York Jets RB Breece Hall rushed for 23 yards on 12 carries against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. He also caught two passes for 14 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: This was the final blow for teams that had Hall as a lineup mainstay. It has been a long fall from last season, when Hall was going ahead of Christian McCaffrey in some fantasy drafts. He'll get to go to a new team in free agency and hopefully will have a chance to play in an offense that isn't the equivalent of swimming upstream. |
Las Vegas Raiders TE Michael Mayer went without a reception or target in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson finished with 148 yards on 14 carries with two touchdowns in a Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He also caught two of three targets for 13 yards.
| Footballguys view: For the second time this season, Henderson broke away for two long touchdown runs to make anyone who played him in fantasy leagues look like a genius. He is still a boom/bust play against the Ravens next week, but will be very difficult to leave on the bench after this. |
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (ankle) left the Week 15 game against the Cleveland Browns due to an ankle injury, and he did not return. Burden had six receptions for a team-best 84 yards on seven targets before departing.
| Footballguys view: Burden's fantasy value is only going up from here in dynasty leagues even if this ankle injury keeps him from mattering in redraft leagues for the next two weeks. DJ Moore will be the clear #1 wide receiver target for Caleb Williams next week against the Packers and an easy choice to include in fantasy lineups. |
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt rushed six times for just 12 yards in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers, he tacked an 8-yard reception on two targets.

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 14 of 23 for 155 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in a Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He added scoring runs of eight and seven yards in the first half and finished with 43 yards on four carries.
| Footballguys view: Maye was a fantasy success because of two first half rushing scores, but he wasn't able to make plays as a passer once the game tightened up in the second half. The Patriots still have the inside track to win the division, but the Ravens defense is coming on and he won't have a ceiling game for fantasy against them next week unless he improves from this performance. |
New York Jets RB Isaiah Davis rushed for 58 yards and one touchdown on nine carries against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. He also caught one pass for seven yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Breece Hall did not get the garbage time touchdown in the final injury for anyone who trusted him in fantasy leagues this season. We'll hope for him to get signed to a better offensive team in free agency next offseason, which is just about a certainty. |
Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco ran 11 times for just 21 yards in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers, and he was not targeted in the passing game.
Link to storyNew York Jets QB Brady Cook went 22-for-33 for 176 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. He also rushed for 39 yards on six carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Cook played better than his stats indicate, considering that he was an undrafted rookie free agent back in April. His athleticism was NFL quality and Cook was effective enough as a passer to create some fantasy value in the passing game. He is only a desperation play in 2QB/Superflex leagues against the Saints next week, but the Jets passing game is as viable with Cook as it was with Tyrod Taylor or Justin Fields. |
New England Patriots CB Marcus Jones had 10 tackles - eight solo - in a Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki caught one pass for 11 yards against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 15. He was targeted two times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Gesicki was quiet against Baltimore with Tee Higgins out two weeks ago, then a very good play against the Bills last week with Higgins playing and playing well, but was a bust again this week against the Ravens with Higgins out. He may end up being a good play against his old Dolphins team next week, but no one will have him in their lineups. |

Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman was not targeted in a comeback win Week 15 against the New England Patriots.
Link to storyCincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught 10 passes for 132 yards against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 15. He was targeted 16 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Chase was the lone bright spot for fantasy on an otherwise terrible afternoon for the Bengals in the last stand of their 2025 playoff hopes. Chase had an interception go off of his hands to contribute to the misery. |

Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey was targeted three times and caught two of them for 20 yards in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Not only has McConkey not been a fantasy asset since Week 10 as the Chargers offense has slogged through the injury minefield, you would have been better off putting him on the bench in three of the last four weeks. The matchup against Dallas next week is tempting, but strong playoff fantasy rosters may have trouble finding a lineup spot for McConkey when he has been ice cold over the last month. |
Los Angeles Chargers FB/DT Scott Matlock registered two receptions for nine yards on his two targets in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Link to storyCincinnati Bengals RB Samaje Perine rushed for 42 yards on 14 carries against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 15. He also caught one pass for one yard during the game.

Los Angeles Chargers WR KeAndre Lambert-Smith had a 16-yard reception on his only target in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and it was good for his first NFL touchdown.

Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown rushed for 53 yards on 13 carries against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 15. He also caught seven passes for 37 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Brown bailed out fantasy teams in PPR leagues with seven catches, but the Bengals offense failing to score at all kept him from being an overachiever. He'll still be worth an RB2 play against the Dolphins next week, but it's hard to know if the Bengals will have a true letdown game after this one ended their chances of going to playoffs. |

Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid caught three of four targets for 34 yards in a comeback win Week 15 against the New England Patriots.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid looked like a good play this week against a Patriots team that he hung a 6-108 line on earlier this season. While this stat line was disappointing considering that the Bills scored five touchdowns, two of them went to Dawson Knox, so it was still good process to play Kincaid. That's not much solace if you lost with him in, but if you won anyway, you'll have to weigh him as an option in a game at Cleveland. |

Los Angeles Chargers TE Oronde Gadsden II registered four receptions for a team-best 61 yards on five targets in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Link to storyCincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow went 25-for-39 for 225 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 15. He also rushed for five yards on two carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Burrow had a miserable afternoon against a defense that he toyed with in 2024 and led eight drives that ended with points two weeks ago. The Ravens got pressure on Burrow all day, and they came up big on multiple fourth down stops. The Bengals postseason hopes are officially over in what has been a frustrating season for him. It was an even more frustrating day for fantasy teams that trusted Burrow. |

Buffalo Bills RB James Cook ran 22 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns, and caught two passes for four yards and another score in a comeback win in Week 15 against the New England Patriots.
| Footballguys view: Cook atoned for his goal line fumble last week with two scores and strong running to help the Bills come back from a 21-0 first half deficit. He has been one of the biggest hits at running back in fantasy drafts and will be in a lot of playoff lineups against the Browns next week. |
Baltimore Ravens TE Mark Andrews caught two passes for 18 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. He was targeted three times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Andrews and Isaiah Likely were both massive letdowns in a matchup against the Bengals that has been money for opposing tight ends, including both Andrews and Likely two weeks ago. Anyone who dabbled in playing a Ravens tight end recently probably won't be doing that again vs. the Patriots next week. |

Los Angeles Chargers RB Kimani Vidal ran 12 times for 33 yards in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs, while adding one reception for 15 yards on his only target.
Link to storyLos Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton registered 15 carries for 61 yards in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs, while providing a 4-yard reception on his lone target.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers stuck with a true committee backfield in Hampton's second week back. He was the more effective runner, but that is no solace to fantasy teams that played Hampton over other RB2/Flex options that hit today. He'll be in play as a flex against the Cowboys next week. |
Baltimore Ravens RB Rasheen Ali caught two passes for 32 yards and one touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. He was targeted two times during the game.
Link to storyBuffalo Bills QB Josh Allen completed 19 of 28 for 193 yards and three touchdowns, and added 48 rush yards on 11 carries in a comeback win Week 15 against the New England Patriots. He had a rush touchdown called back by penalty in the second half.
| Footballguys view: It was another superhero performance by Allen, who overcame a 21-0 first half deficit and led the offense to five straight touchdown drives. It was merely an elite QB1 fantasy performance instead of the week winners we have seen at times this season. Allen will face Myles Garrett at Cleveland next week with an outside shot to catch the Patriots following this win. |

Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers caught three passes for 68 yards and one touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. He was targeted five times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Flowers had a possible touchdown and an interception glance off of his hands on two plays that could have made this game even easier for the Ravens, but he converted a long touchdown on a perfect downfield throw to the sideline by Lamar Jackson to come through for fantasy players. He'll be an upside WR3/Flex play in Week 16 against New England. |
