Dolphins | Jaylen Wright posts career-high 107 yards Sun Dec 7, 07:10 PM
Miami Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright rushed 24 times for a career-high 107 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the New York Jets, and he did not have a reception on three targets in place of the injured RB De'Von Achane (rib).
| Footballguys view: It sounds like Achane will be able to play next week, but Wright is still worth a pickup if bench size allows with the Dolphins running game clicking. He has supplanted Ollie Gordon as the backup and finally showed promise for dynasty teams that have been holding him. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson accounts for two touchdowns Sun Dec 7, 07:05 PM
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson completed 19 of 35 for 219 yards with a touchdown passing, a touchdown rushing and an interception in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jackson finished with 43 yards on seven carries.
| Footballguys view: Jackson wasn't always that effective as a passer, but he was more useful as a runner this week, and only a late pass breakup by Joey Porter Jr. prevented a go-ahead touchdown to Isaiah Likely in the final minutes. The Steelers tend to give Jackson fits and he was still able to post his first strong fantasy performance in over a month, so you can feel confident plugging him back in against the Bengals next week. |

Dolphins | De'Von Achane was available to return Sun Dec 7, 07:04 PM
Updating a previous report, Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (rib) left the Week 14 against the New York Jets due to a rib injury, but head coach Mike McDaniel said Sunday, Dec. 7 that Achane was available to re-enter the game in the event of an emergency, but he never felt the need to risk it. McDaniel confirmed there was no fracture to the ribs. 'You worry about breaks. That takes time. Didn't see that, but he'll get treatment,' McDaniel said, 'He was available to go back in the game. I just decided not to put him in.'
| Footballguys view: This is the good news you were looking for if you have Achane. Jaylen Wright is still worth a pickup in all leagues, but it sounds like you'll be able to play Achane next week at Pittsburgh in the first round of many fantasy playoff brackets. |

Bills | Dalton Kincaid finds end zone Sun Dec 7, 06:56 PM
Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid caught four passes for 41 yards and one touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. He was targeted five times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid wasn't a big factor in the game, but the Bengals are so bad against tight ends that he still had a short score and a long gain to post a very good TE1 game for anyone who trusted him because of the matchup even though he was a game-time decision and only characterized as someone who was going to "try to play" this week by Schefter and Rapoport. Kincaid is a boom/bust TE1 against the Patriots next week. Hopefully he'll get in a full practice to boost confidence in him in fantasy circles. |

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

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. |

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. |
