Bills | Dawson Knox nearly reaches 100 yards Sun Dec 7, 06:52 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox caught six passes for 93 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. He was targeted seven times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Play your tight ends against the Bengals. Next week that is Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews. If you had Knox in because Dalton Kincaid was only going to "try to play" instead of being "expected to play" in the Saturday night news dump, you got a nice TE1 game in your lineup this week. Knox isn't worth carrying into Week 15 since the opponent is New England, not Cincinnati. |

Bills | James Cook surpasses 100 total yards Sun Dec 7, 06:42 PM
Buffalo Bills RB James Cook rushed for 80 yards on 18 carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14 but did lose a fumble. He also caught two passes for 31 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Cook fumbled at the goal line or he would have posted his typical RB1 level fantasy output in Week 14. The problem is that against the Bengals, a high ceiling game was expected, so this was a real letdown, considering that the Bills were able to score 39 points and Cook was in on zero of them. He'll look to atone for his mistake against the Patriots in a huge game next week. |
Steelers | DK Metcalf sets season high in receiving yards Sun Dec 7, 06:38 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf caught seven of 12 targets for 148 yards in Week 14 against the Baltimore Ravens.
| Footballguys view: Metcalf was down in the fantasy dumps coming into this week, along with the rest of the Steelers offense, but against the Ravens he was in prime form. Aaron Rodgers gave Metcalf multiple opportunities to make plays downfield on deep sideline throws and Metcalf came through repeatedly to help the Steelers and fantasy teams that were willing to trust him. He won't be on many fantasy benches against the Dolphins next week. |

Browns | Isaiah Bond, Blake Whiteheart blanked Sun Dec 7, 06:38 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Isaiah Bond and TE Blake Whiteheart each went without a reception in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. Whiteheart was targeted once, while Bond couldn't add a catch on two targets.

Bills | Josh Allen accounts for four touchdowns Sun Dec 7, 06:36 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen went 22-for-28 for 251 yards and three touchdowns against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. He also rushed for 78 yards and one touchdown on nine carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Allen was a magician in the second half and led the Bills to another improbable win, pulling many fantasy teams across the finish line in the process. The Bengals defense was tough in the first half and forced a key James Cook fumble at the goal line in the second half, but Allen made the plays needed in the fourth quarter, along with the Bills defense picking off Joe Burrow on consecutive offensive plays to swing the thrilling quarterback version of a heavyweight title fight. |

Cleveland Browns WR Cedric Tillman was good for a single 23-yard reception on three targets in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans.
Link to story Steelers | Jaylen Warren records receiving touchdown Sun Dec 7, 06:25 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren carried 8 times for 13 yards but added three receptions for 49 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the Baltimore Ravens.
| Footballguys view: Warren was ineffective as a runner and gave way to Kenneth Gainwell in the red zone, but the Ravens defense lost him on an all-out blitz play in the second half, so he was still a solid RB2/Flex play. He'll be worth a look as a flex option against the Dolphins next week. |
Bengals | Andrei Iosivas quiet in Week 14 Sun Dec 7, 06:23 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Andrei Iosivas caught two passes for 17 yards against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. He was targeted three times during the game.

Browns | Jerry Jeudy registers 76 yards, score Sun Dec 7, 06:19 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy ended up with three receptions for 76 yards and a touchdown on five targets in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans.
| Footballguys view: Shedeur Sanders found Jeudy breaking free in the middle of the field on a perfectly thrown ball to lead Jeudy away from the pursuing defense for an easy 60-yard catch and run score. Cedric Tillman suffered a concussion, so Jeudy could be a good flex play against the Bears as the clear #1 target at wide receiver assuming Tillman sits after he missed six games at the end of the 2024 season because of a concussion. |

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.

Tennessee Titans TE David Martin-Robinson had a 6-yard reception on his only target in Week 14 against the Cleveland Browns.
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.

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. |
