Bengals | Ja'Marr Chase finishes with 52 total yards Sun Dec 7, 06:18 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase caught five passes for 44 yards on eight targets against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. He also rushed for eight yards on one carry during the game.
| Footballguys view: Chase was quiet on a big afternoon for Tee Higgins and Mike Gesicki, but Joe Burrow was outstanding, so don't despair if you have Chase. Last season, Chase recorded 21 catches, 460 yards, and five touchdowns in two games against Baltimore, his Week 15 opponent. |

Steelers | Aaron Rodgers throw for season-high 284 yards Sun Dec 7, 06:18 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers threw for a season-high 284 yards and a touchdown on 23 of 34 passing and even ran for touchdown in Week 14 against the Baltimore Ravens.
| Footballguys view: Rodgers was outstanding on sideline deep balls to DK Metcalf and looked about as spry keeping plays alive as we've seen him look in years. He even scored on a sprint to the pylon and posted a very good fantasy game if you had to put him in your 2QB/Superflex lineup. You could do worse than playing him as a QB2/Superflex against the Dolphins next week for the first place Steelers. |

Browns | Harold Fannin Jr. hits triple digits with TD Sun Dec 7, 06:14 PM
Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. registered eight receptions for a game-high 114 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans.
| Footballguys view: Fannin is clearly the favorite target for fellow rookie Shedeur Sanders. He is going to be a strong TE1 play against the Bears next week and going forward. If you have Fannin in dynasty leagues, root for Sanders to get a chance to be the Browns quarterback next season, but know that he has displayed the kind of playmaking talent to be valuable even if this team can't get out of the offensive doldrums. |
Bengals | Mike Gesicki catches TD pass Sun Dec 7, 06:13 PM
Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki caught six passes for 86 yards and one touchdown against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. He was targeted six times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Gesicki had his biggest games last year when one of the Bengals starting wide receivers was out, but last week he was quiet even though Tee Higgins was out. This week, he was a trusted receiver for Joe Burrow even though Higgins played, and played well. He'll be a what-the-heck TE1 play next week against the Ravens now that we've seen a ceiling game with Burrow back. |

Browns | Dylan Sampson totals seven touches Sun Dec 7, 06:10 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson rushed twice for four yards in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans, while adding five receptions for 64 yards on six targets.
Link to story Bengals | Two touchdowns for Tee Higgins Sun Dec 7, 06:10 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins caught six passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. He was targeted 11 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Higgins second touchdown was a one-handed catch while being interfered with that has to be seen to be believed. He left for a concussion check, but re-entered the game and did everything in his power to secure this win for the Bengals and for fantasy teams. He'll be a high ceiling WR1 against the Ravens next week with the Bengals postseason hopes hanging by a thread. |

Browns | Quinshon Judkins struggles in run game Sun Dec 7, 06:06 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins rushed 14 times for just 26 yards in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans, while shaking free for a 58-yard catch and run on his only reception on three targets.
| Footballguys view: Judkins was tackled inside the five on his long catch and run. That was the only bright spot on the day as the Titans titanic defensive tackle duo shut down the run. The running back took a direct snap on a two-point conversion that could have tied the game, but he botched a decision to hold the ball instead of pitching it and the play failed. Judkins is a boom/bust RB2 against the Bears next week. |
Bengals | Chase Brown reaches end zone twice Sun Dec 7, 06:02 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown rushed for 23 yards and one touchdown on 12 carries against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. He also caught three passes for 12 yards and one touchdown during the game.
| Footballguys view: Brown wasn't a big part of the Bengals offense outside of the first drive of the game - which he finished with a touchdown - but Brown also caught a short touchdown late in the first half and was still a fantasy RB1 in Week 14. Seeing what he can do with Joe Burrow even with only 35 total yards is a reminder that it wasn't a bad decision to take him in the second or third round even though he didn't help fantasy teams much while Burrow was out. Brown will be a strong RB2 play against the Ravens next week. |

Browns | Shedeur Sanders throws three touchdowns Sun Dec 7, 05:55 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders completed 23-of-42 passes for 364 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 14 against the Tennessee titans, while running for 29 yards and a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: Sanders was a big time fantasy hit in 2QB/Superflex leagues, which should encourage folks that are considering Brock Purdy as their fantasy starter next week against the Titans. Sanders' output was juked by getting to play against a defense nursing a two touchdown lead in the fourth quarter, but they all count the same for fantasy. He'll be in consideration as a QB2/Superflex option next week at Chicago. |
Browns | Myles Garrett disruptive, posts another sack Sun Dec 7, 05:51 PM
Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett went for four solo tackles, a sack, three tackles for loss, a pass defensed and two quarterback hits in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. He is now up to 20 sacks, and he needs three more sacks to break the NFL record held by New York Giants DE Michael Strahan, and Garrett has four games remaining.

Link to story Bengals | Joe Burrow throws four TDs, two INTs Sun Dec 7, 05:36 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow went 25-for-36 for 284 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14.
| Footballguys view: Burrow was authoring a masterful performance until two consecutive shotput-esque throws in the fourth quarter were picked, one for a defensive touchdown. He threw a touchdown to Tee Higgins late in the fourth quarter to stop the bleeding, but the Bengals defense couldn't make a stop to give Burrow a chance to win. Before the gaffes, Burrow was in position to post the kind of performance in a Buffalo blizzard that would have been known as "the snow game" (or sneaux game if you're an LSU fan), but instead, the team's chances for the postseason took a massive hit. The Ravens losing to the Steelers also hurt, as they have a much tougher remaining schedule than the Steelers, including a matchup with the Bengals next week. |

Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts caught six passes for 90 yards against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14. He was targeted 10 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Pitts was the only part of the Falcons offense that was at all threatening to the Seahawks in this flat offensive performance. The Falcons play on Thursday, so there's a greater chance that we won't see Drake London, which keeps Pitts in the lineup conversation for the first week of the fantasy playoffs. |

Link to story Titans | Tony Pollard explodes for 161 yards, two scores Sun Dec 7, 05:08 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard rushed 25 times for 161 yards and two touchdowns in Week 14 against the Cleveland Browns, while he was not targeted in the passing game.
| Footballguys view: Pollard was almost certainly in very few lineups, and was probably on a lot of waiver wires for this performance. He broke free twice for scores from 65 and 32 yards, and the Titans were willing to feed him as they were in the lead for most of the first half and all of the fourth quarter. He'll be add as a desperation depth bench stash for Week 17 against the Saints, but the Titans will have trouble hanging with the 49ers and Chiefs the next two weeks. |

Titans | Cam Ward tosses two TDS in snow Sun Dec 7, 05:05 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward completed 14-of-28 passes for 117 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 14 against the Cleveland Browns, while adding two runs for four yards during icy and snowy field conditions.
| Footballguys view: Ward was about as effective as one would expect on a cold afternoon in Cleveland, but he did convert touchdowns when gifted with short fields and the team showed the kind of fight in the win that we've come to expect from the #1 pick every week despite his long odds to pull off a win like he did in this game. He has some appeal as a QB2/Superflex option at San Francisco next week. |
Vikings | One catch each for Tai Felton, Ben Sims Sun Dec 7, 05:02 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Tai Felton and TE Ben Sims each had one catch apiece on one target in Week 14 against the Washington Commanders. Felton's grab was good for 10 yards, while Sims checked in with a 9-yard reception.
Link to story Falcons | Bijan Robinson plays well in Week 14 Sun Dec 7, 05:01 PM
Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson rushed for 86 yards on 20 carries against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14. He also caught two passes for eight yards during the game but did lose a fumble.
| Footballguys view: Robinson was a disappointment coming off of a ceiling game even though this contest was tied at halftime. He'll play Tampa on Thursday night and has to be in fantasy lineups, but the arrow isn't pointing up for Robinson's fantasy value right now. |

Vikings | Justin Jefferson has another dismal showing Sun Dec 7, 04:57 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson posted two receptions for 11 yards on four targets in Week 14 against the Washington Commanders.
| Footballguys view: That JJ McCarthy was as effective running the offense as we've seen all season and Jefferson was very small part of the passing game has to be troubling. If you weren't benching him in fantasy going into Week 14, you are thinking about it coming out of Week 14 even with the Cowboys up next week. |

Link to story Seahawks | AJ Barner catches three passes Sun Dec 7, 04:43 PM
Seattle Seahawks TE AJ Barner caught three passes for 27 yards against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14. He was targeted four times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Barner has a little more appeal in deep leagues after rookie Elijah Arroyo left this game with a knee injury. That could give Barner more targets going forward, and he is also the team's tush push quarterback in the "Barnyard" formation. In deep leagues, keep him on your waiver wire watch list. |
Vikings | Jordan Addison targeted seven times Sun Dec 7, 04:42 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison recorded four receptions for a game-high 62 yards on seven targets in Week 14 against the Washington Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Addison wasn't a bust, but the Vikings were successful throwing almost exclusively to tight ends in the red zone, and JJ McCarthy didn't take a lot of chances throwing the ball downfield in a comfortable win. Addison is a worthy what-the-heck flex against Dallas next week, but it is possible that McCarthy reverts to poor form when he's not playing a defense as limited as Washington's. |

Vikings | Jordan Mason finds end zone in Week 14 Sun Dec 7, 04:33 PM
Minnesota Vikings RB Jordan Mason rushed 11 times for 52 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the Washington Commanders, while he was not targeted in the passing game.
| Footballguys view: Mason is running well, and the offense looks good when he is on the field. He is worth carrying as a potential matchup flex who also has upside if Aaron Jones gets hurt (again). The Cowboys run defense has been improved since they got Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams in trades, so next week is not the best one to roll Mason out there as a what-the-heck flex play. |
Seahawks | Rashid Shaheed posts special teams TD Sun Dec 7, 04:28 PM
Seattle Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed caught four passes for 67 yards against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14. He was targeted five times during the game. He also returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: Shaheed's kickoff return came at the open of the second half to break a 6-6 tie and the Seahawks never looked back. Sam Darnold played one of his best halves of the season after that, and Shaheed contributed. He is worth a pickup, especially in .5 and nonPPR leagues with Darnold getting warm heading into a matchup with a stunned Colts team. |
Vikings | Aaron Jones totals 14 touches Sun Dec 7, 04:28 PM
Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones rushed 14 times for 76 yards in Week 14 against the Washington Commanders, and he did not have a reception on a single target.
| Footballguys view: Jones wasn't a fantasy force, but he didn't leave the game with an injury this week and he ran well with JJ McCarthy actually looking like a quarterback in command of his offense. Consider Jones a what-the-heck flex against the Cowboys next week. |

Vikings | J.J. McCarthy tosses three touches Sun Dec 7, 04:24 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy completed 16-of-23 passes for 163 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 14 against the Washington Commanders, while running six times for 19 yards.
| Footballguys view: This was the best game of McCarthy's pro career, but it was against possibly the worst pass defense in the league. Still, confidence is a big part of performance for young quarterbacks, and McCarthy should be more confident heading to Dallas next week. He's worth a look as a QB2/Superflex or Daniel Jones emergency replacement next week. |
