New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson missed three weeks with a toe injury, allowing rookie TreVeyon Henderson to go off and become a fantasy star. Stevenson played two games before the team's bye week, though, and he still clearly has a significant role in the offense. In Week 13 against the Giants, he outsnapped Henderson 38-to-32, and he took 12 carries for 40 yards, while adding 40 more yards on three catches. Stevenson still seems to be the preferred short-yardage option, and he also showed he can be involved as a receiver. He'll be in about an even timeshare with Henderson coming back from the bye week in a solid matchup against the Bills. Both backs remain touchdown-dependent, but they have enough upside to be worth owning in all formats, since the Patriots have a fairly favorable schedule the rest of the season. While he doesn't have the home-run potential of Henderson, Stevenson is a nice waiver wire option if someone bailed on him too early in your league.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy led his team to a 31-0 rout of the Commanders in Week 14 in a triumphant return from injury. He threw for 163 yards and three touchdowns in the win while adding 19 rushing yards on six carries as well. McCarthy completed 16 of his 23 pass attempts in one of his best performances of the season. This week, he'll be in a tougher matchup on the road against the Cowboys, but even though Dallas's defense has shown potential, they're still giving up a lot of points. The Vikings have a favorable few weeks ahead, so McCarthy can be an interesting play if you need a second QB for the rest of the season. His rushing potential and good pass-catching weapons give him good upside, even though he has struggled to reach his high ceiling throughout his first year as the team's starter.

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson will return from his team's bye week and look to continue his solid season, working as one of the top targets for Jaxson Dart. Johnson has at least three catches in seven straight games and has totaled 42 catches for 456 yards and five touchdowns in his 13 games this season. He matched his season high with eight targets against the Patriots in his most recent game before the bye week, and he has established a solid rapport with Dart, which makes him one of the best widely available tight end plays in most leagues. Johnson hasn't hit 100 yards in any game yet, but he has posted at least 75 yards in two of his last four games, showing he has a good ceiling to go with his solid PPR floor. The Giants have a favorable schedule the rest of the season, starting this week with a home game against the struggling Commanders.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has proven he can have massive games in the past, and the first-round pick had one of his best games of the season in Week 14 against the Titans. He only had three catches but racked up 76 yards and a long touchdown from Shedeur Sanders, who looked like a solid QB for the rest of the year. Sanders throws the deep ball well, and if he connects more often with Jeudy, the receiver could be a nice add for the fantasy football playoffs. Jeudy has shown a very high ceiling, and he may now have a QB who can connect with him to make big plays. His season-long numbers are still not very impressive, but he and Sanders are trending up coming into their matchup this week with the Bears, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season.

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai is getting enough work to be a solid pickup from the waiver wire if you need running back help this week. Against the Packers in Week 14, Monangai played 29 snaps (41%) and finished with a team-high 14 carries for 57 yards while adding one catch for no yards as well. He didn't find the end zone this week, snapping a four-game scoring streak. He has gotten double-digit carries in four straight games and is splitting work just about evenly with starting running back D'Andre Swift. Monangai and the Bears face a tough Browns defense this week, but Tony Pollard just had a huge game against them last week, so there's still enough upside in playing Monangai that he should be owned in almost all formats as one of the top second running backs in the league.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert battled through a broken left hand during Monday night's 22-19 overtime win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He completed 12 of 26 passes for 139 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and a lost fumble while adding 10 carries for a team-leading 66 yards on the ground. The star quarterback was under siege all night, finishing with a 68.3% pressure rate and a career-high seven sacks. It was the sixth-highest pressure rate in a game over the last 10 seasons, per Next Gen Stats. Herbert scrambled more than usual with the constant pressure and recorded his most rushing yards in a game this season. However, he struggled as a passer, and this game was just the third of his career with a completion percentage of 50% or below. Herbert will take some time this week to rest his hand and gear up for another tough matchup in a divisional clash with the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal recorded 14 carries for 44 yards while adding one catch for a team-leading 60 receiving yards on three targets in Monday's overtime win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Vidal still narrowly led the Chargers in carries over rookie Omarion Hampton, who handled 13 carries for 56 yards in his first game since Week 5. On the Chargers' first third down of the game, Vidal slipped out of the backfield for a checkdown from quarterback Justin Herbert and burst down the sideline for a 60-yard gain. It marked the longest play of the second-year back's career, and he continues to make the most of his opportunities. Since Vidal took over in Week 6 after Hampton's injury, he's totaled 131 carries for 569 yards and three touchdowns with 13 receptions (19 targets) for 102 yards and another score as a receiver, ranking as the RB13 in total PPR points in that time. The 24-year-old running back's role will decrease with Hampton back, but he should continue to stay involved as an important piece of the Chargers' offense.

Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter had three carries for 13 yards in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14. Carter also had two catches for 18 yards on four targets. The 26-year-old was unable to get involved in the passing game despite the Cardinals' offense dropping back to pass 44 times on Sunday. Carter also saw fewer targets than fellow running back Bam Knight, who had six targets on Sunday. Carter's fantasy value will be left up in the air with Trey Benson (knee) potentially coming off Injured Reserve and Emari Demercado (ankle) potentially returning in Week 15. If Benson or Demercado returns, Carter will fall to RB3 duties in the Cardinals' offense. Even if both Benson and Demercado miss another week, Carter can't be trusted as a flex play in 12-team fantasy formats.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight had seven carries for 16 yards in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14. Knight also had three catches for 18 yards on six targets. The 24-year-old was kept out of the end zone for the first time since Week 10, snapping a three-game touchdown streak. The Cardinals' offense quickly abandoned the run game to try to keep up on the scoreboard and finished the game with 44 passing attempts to only 14 rushing attempts. Knight continues to live off his touchdown production this year and has yet to produce over eight fantasy points in a game without scoring a touchdown in half-PPR formats. Heading into Week 15, Knight's role in the offense will be cloudy with the possible return of Trey Benson (knee) from Injured Reserve. The team initially opened Benson's 21-day activation window leading into Week 12, but they have yet to activate him. Benson will have to be activated before Arizona's Week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans to avoid reverting to season-ending IR.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andre Baccellia had one catch for three yards on three targets in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14. The 28-year-old saw a season high in targets and snap share, but he was unable to sniff any fantasy relevance. Baccellia saw more playing time on Sunday with both receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) and Greg Dortch (chest) inactive due to injury. Dortch has since been placed on Injured Reserve and is unlikely to return this year. Even if Harrison cannot suit up next week, Baccellia should remain off the fantasy radar in most fantasy leagues. In Week 15, Arizona will face the Houston Texans, who boast the best defense in the league.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride cooled off in the Week 14 loss against the Los Angeles Rams, recording five catches for 58 yards on nine targets. Despite an off game relative to his high standards, McBride still finished inside the top 15 in Week 14 for tight ends in PPR formats. Sunday marked only the third time McBride had fewer than eight catches since Jacoby Brissett took over at quarterback. The 26-year-old has now hauled in 88 passes for 937 yards and eight touchdowns on 127 targets across 13 games this season. As long as McBride remains healthy, he profiles as the top tight end in fantasy football. Arizona will face one of the best defenses the NFL has to offer in a difficult Week 15 matchup at the Houston Texans, but McBride should remain in all starting fantasy lineups.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton recorded 13 carries for 56 yards with two receptions (two targets) for 11 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's overtime win over the Philadelphia Eagles. In Hampton's first game since fracturing his left ankle in Week 5, he caught a touchdown on the opening drive and looked good overall as a runner. The rookie first-rounder split touches with Kimani Vidal, as expected, and Vidal narrowly edged him out with 14 carries for 44 yards to go with one reception for 60 yards on three targets. Hampton's workload should gradually grow as he gets further removed from his ankle injury. He looks primed to come back and immediately be an impactful player for fantasy managers as the fantasy playoffs begin in Week 15. Hampton should at least have RB2 upside in a divisional rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown hauled in six of his 13 targets for 100 yards in Monday night's overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Brown has now posted four straight games with double-digit targets and has topped 100 yards in three consecutive outings after having only one double-digit target game and two 100-yard performances over his first nine games. The star wideout could have had an even bigger day, but he just narrowly missed on a few deep throws from quarterback Jalen Hurts. Brown did, however, drop a pass that led to one of four interceptions for Hurts on the night. The Eagles' WR1 still looks like his dominant self when he's targeted, even with the Eagles' collective struggles on offense. He'll continue to profile as a high-end fantasy option in Week 15 in a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley handled 20 carries for 122 yards and a touchdown while adding zero catches on two targets in Monday night's 22-19 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Barkley scored the only touchdown of the night for the Eagles on a 52-yard run to begin the fourth quarter. The star running back notched his second 100-yard outing and second-longest run of the season on Monday night, with both previous marks coming back in Week 8 against his former team, the New York Giants. The 28-year-old has been disappointing for fantasy managers who spent an early first-round pick on him, but he'll look to build on this performance for the rest of the season with several favorable matchups on deck. Next up will be a home date in Week 15 versus the Las Vegas Raiders.

Although Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely has had a pair of high-profile near-touchdowns over the past two weeks, the 25-year-old is also quietly emerging as a more consistent feature in his team's passing game. Across his last two outings, Likely has recorded nine catches for 120 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. Baltimore continues to split tight end snaps between Likely and veteran Mark Andrews, which limits the upside for both players. Still, Likely has proven to be a relatively capable target-earner in a part-time role. In Week 15, the Ravens have a highly favorable matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals' defense has struggled to contain tight ends this season, and Likely torched them for 95 receiving yards on five catches in Week 13. In deep leagues, Likely could be a solid tight end streamer for fantasy managers in Week 15.

From RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki had his best game of the season in Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills, recording six catches for 82 yards and a touchdown on six targets. The 30-year-old's involvement in the Cincinnati passing game has been trending up in recent weeks, as he's earned 16 targets across his last three games played. Gesicki could move even further up the pecking order in Week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens with Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) back in concussion protocol. Higgins played in Week 14 after missing Week 13 due to a head injury, but he re-entered the league's concussion protocol on Monday. If Higgins is sidelined, Gesicki could be a solid streaming option for fantasy managers at the tight end position in Week 15. He should be a waiver-wire target in all leagues with 14 or more teams.

From RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten had an underwhelming game in Week 14, recording just two carries for five yards against the Indianapolis Colts. Tuten briefly exited the game and was evaluated for a concussion before being cleared to return. Still, the injury scare could be a reason why his workload was limited against the Colts. Tuten's upside is limited by the presence of veteran Jaguars back Travis Etienne Jr., who remains the clear RB1 in Jacksonville. However, Tuten has flashed upside this season, recording 277 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 77 carries across 13 games. If Etienne Jr. were to miss time due to injury, Tuten would be in line for a significant role increase. Heading into his Week 15 matchup against the New York Jets, Tuten should be rostered as a high-end handcuff option in all fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams.

From RotoBaller

Across 13 games this season, Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has recorded 108 carries for 378 rushing yards and eight touchdowns. The 25-year-old's workload upside is limited by the presence of star Falcons back Bijan Robinson. However, as evidenced by his eight rushing touchdowns, Atlanta has shown a willingness to use Allgeier near the goal line. Additionally, Allgeier has now earned double-digit touches in four out of his last five games, and he's recorded 68 receiving yards over the last two weeks. As the 4-9 Falcons hit the home stretch of the season, they could be looking to lighten Robinson's workload and put more on the plate of Allgeier. Even if he remains firmly behind Robinson the rest of the way, Allgeier's touchdown upside gives him flex appeal in the right matchups. Heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Allgeier profiles as a priority handcuff option with some standalone value and should be rostered in all fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams.

From RotoBaller

In his last game before his team's Week 14 bye, New York Giants running back Devin Singletary recorded 102 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 15 touches against the New England Patriots. Heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Washington Commanders, Singletary has recorded double-digit touches in five straight games. With Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) on Injured Reserve, Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip) have been splitting backfield work in New York. Tracy Jr. suffered a hip injury in Week 13 against New England that forced him to leave the game early, but it's not expected to lead to missed time. Still, the Giants could limit Tracy Jr.'s usage, which would mean more touches for Singletary. In fantasy leagues with 10 or more teams, Singletary is worth targeting on the waiver wire heading into Week 15.

From RotoBaller

Across 13 games this season, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell has recorded 657 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns on 130 touches. The 26-year-old has recorded just 35 rushing yards over the last two weeks, and he's been held to rushing yards or less in five out of his last six games. However, Gainwell has emerged as a safety blanket for Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the passing game. Over the last four weeks, Gainwell has hauled in 21 receptions for 163 yards and two touchdowns on 24 targets. Pittsburgh is splitting backfield snaps between Gainwell and Jaylen Warren, which limits the upside of both players. Still, Gainwell's role as a receiver makes him a viable flex option for fantasy managers. Heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, Gainwell is worth rostering in PPR leagues with 10 or more teams.
