Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Jayden Higgins posted a modest game in his team's Week 14 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, recording three catches for 34 yards on five targets. Still, the 22-year-old has established himself as the clear WR2 in Houston alongside Nico Collins, as he's earned at least five targets in five consecutive games and six out of his last seven contests. For the season overall, Higgins has hauled in 35 catches for 393 yards and four touchdowns on 55 targets across 13 games. With Houston's offense playing better football in recent weeks and its stellar defense consistently providing short fields, Higgins could be on the verge of a breakout game. Higgins profiles as a must-add wide receiver with a stable production floor heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed returned from foot and shoulder injuries that had sidelined him since Week 2 in his team's Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears. Reed recorded four catches for 31 yards on four targets and also logged 22 rushing yards on two carries. The 25-year-old played 47% of Green Bay's offensive snaps, third-most among Packers wide receivers behind Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson. Green Bay may up Reed's snap share as he re-integrates himself into the offense, but his upside is limited by the Packers' run-heavy offense and their crowded wide receiver room. Still, Reed has proven he can be a playmaker in the past, recording 1,020 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns across 17 games in 2024. In leagues where he is available, Reed is worth targeting as an upside play heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

With Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) sidelined by a foot injury for his team's Week 14 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, rookie wideout Luther Burden III stepped into a larger role. The 21-year-old earned six targets for the second straight week and hauled in four receptions for 67 yards. After failing to reach five targets in any of his first eight games this season, Burden III has now seen at least five targets in four straight weeks. On a more negative note, Burden III was out-snapped by veteran wideout Olamide Zaccheaus in Week 14. That signals Odunze's absence doesn't mean an automatic promotion for Burden III into Chicago's WR2 role alongside DJ Moore. Still, Burden III has flashed big-play upside throughout the season, and his workload remains on an upward trajectory. He's worth rostering in deeper fantasy formats and could be a solid flex option in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns if Odunze remains sidelined.

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard opened the season as his team's RB1. However, he missed time due to injury in early October, and his role was usurped by Panthers back Rico Dowdle, who exploded with a pair of 200-plus scrimmage-yard outings. Across a four-game stretch from Week 9 to Week 12, Hubbard failed to record more than seven touches in a contest. However, in Carolina's final game before its Week 14 bye, Hubbard broke out for 124 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 19 touches against the Los Angeles Rams. Hubbard was still out-touched by Dowdle (20 touches), but he out-snapped Dowdle for the first time since Week 8. If Carolina plans to work with a more even split between their two backs coming out of the bye, Hubbard could re-emerge as a flex option for fantasy managers. In leagues where he may have been dropped, Hubbard is a must-add player heading into his Week 15 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) has been on Injured Reserve since Week 4 due to a knee injury. The team opened up Benson's 21-day activation window leading into Week 12. However, Benson has yet to be activated, and he will revert to season-ending IR if not activated before Arizona's Week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans. Given that the 3-10 Cardinals are in the midst of a lost season, they may choose to be cautious with the 23-year-old running back. Still, if Benson can return, he could immediately take over as the RB1 in Arizona. The Cardinals are currently splitting backfield reps between Bam Knight and Michael Carter, but the two backs combined for 29 rushing yards on 10 carries in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams. Benson is worth holding for one more week or adding off the waiver wire in leagues where he is available heading into Week 15.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright had the best game of his career in Week 14, recording 24 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown against the New York Jets. After star Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (ribs) left the game in the second quarter with a rib injury, Wright got a chance to lead his team's backfield. Wright's elevation to the RB1 role was a bit of a surprise, as he's spent most of 2025 working behind both Achane and rookie back Ollie Gordon II. However, it appears Miami may be more comfortable keeping Gordon II in a secondary role, even if Achane is sidelined. The severity of Achane's injury is currently unclear. Should he miss time, Wright could provide starting-caliber fantasy production at the running back position. He's a must-add player off the waiver wire heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. rushed for 52 yards on 10 carries in the Commanders' 31-0 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. He was the only somewhat bright spot in what was a really tough afternoon for the Commanders team. Rodriguez has performed well of late, scoring nine or more fantasy points in three of his last five games, but has limited upside because he is not earning any of the running back receiving work, is touchdown dependent, and projects for 10-15 carries depending on game flow. In Week 14, the Commanders fell behind early to the Vikings, and he never really got much of a chance later in the game. Week 15 presents a good opportunity for Rodriguez, as the Commanders travel to New York to take on the Giants, who allow the second-most points to opposing running backs on the season. Due to his projected volume and limited receiving floor, Rodriguez will be an RB3 heading into Week 15, and should not be on the waiver wire in most 12 or more team formats.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight's lack of volume and efficiency finally caught up to him in Week 14. The 24-year-old running back has been a top-21 running back over the past three weeks, and on Sunday against a stout Los Angeles Rams defense, he was stuffed on the ground, rushing for only 16 yards on seven carries, and somewhat salvaged his fantasy afternoon with three receptions for another 18 yards. Knight has been a solid waiver wire pickup in 2025 and has scored 10 or more fantasy points in three straight contests, but on the season, he is only averaging 3.35 YPC and around nine or 10 rush attempts per game. He has been touchdown and receiving-dependent for fantasy managers, which is not a recipe for long-term success. Knight has stepped into this role because Trey Benson (knee) has not proven healthy enough to play since his Week 4 injury, so as long as Benson remains sidelined, Knight remains a decent RB3 option and shouldn't be on waivers.

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday morning that Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf stayed overnight in a Baltimore hotel after going to a local hospital following the game. Metcalf was experiencing stomach pains on the flight, and, out of an abundance of caution, the team's medical personnel sent him to a nearby hospital. He's flying back to Pittsburgh today. At this point, it's unclear what Metcalf's availability for Week 15 will be, but it's certainly something that fantasy managers will want to monitor closely as the week progresses. Metcalf exploded in Week 14 in the Steelers' huge division win over the Baltimore Ravens, 27-22. Metcalf had 148 receiving yards on 12 targets and seven receptions. Up next for the Steelers is a crucial AFC tilt against the red-hot Miami Dolphins (6-7), who have now won four games in a row.

Los Angeles Rams second-year running back out of Michigan, Blake Corum, dominated once again on Sunday, rushing for 128 yards on 12 carries (10.7 yards per carry) and two touchdowns in the Rams' 45-17 rout over the Arizona Cardinals. Corum has now scored three touchdowns in the past two weeks and has rushed for 209 yards on 19 carries over his past two weeks. Kyren Williams is still the starter in this explosive Rams offense, but Corum is making his case for a potential takeover and to become a league winner down the stretch. The Rams have publicly stated that they are interested in limiting Williams' workload as the team prepares for its playoff run. Regardless, Corum has seen his workload ramp up over the past five weeks, and he is one of, if not the top handcuff, in fantasy football going into the fantasy playoffs. Even without the handcuff, he is providing RB3/flex value based on his pure production and projected 8-10 carries and 30-35 percent snap share. He is a must-add off the waiver wire if he is currently out there in any of your leagues.

New Orleans Saints rookie running back out of Kansas, Devin Neal, dominated the backfield touches on Sunday against the Bucs in the Saints' 24-17 victory. Neal carried the ball 19 times for 70 yards and a touchdown, and added one reception for 14 yards. On the afternoon, Neal scored 14.9 fantasy points in half PPR leagues and, most importantly, handled a solid 76 percent of all running back carries. Audric Estime had three, Evan Hull had one, and Taysom Hill had two. As long as Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) remains sidelined, Neal should be viewed as a low-end RB2 moving forward in most formats strictly due to his volume. Over the past two weeks with Kamara out, Neal has seen 17 or more total touches, and if he's available on your waiver wire, he is a must-add heading into the fantasy playoffs.

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks had already taken over most of the work in the team's backfield coming into Sunday night's matchup with the Chiefs, but with Nick Chubb (rib) leaving early, Marks got even more work. The rookie finished with a season-high 26 carries for 68 rushing yards and added two catches on three targets for eight receiving yards and a touchdown. It was his third receiving touchdown of the season and fifth touchdown overall. He has helped Houston win five straight games to climb back into the playoff chase, and he gets great matchups the next two weeks against the Cardinals and Raiders. Check on Chubb's status throughout the week, but Marks will be a good play either way after Sunday's strong showing.

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins hauled in three of his five targets for 34 yards in his team's low-scoring, 20-14 win over the Chiefs on Sunday night. Higgins finished second on the team in receiving yards and targets behind only Nico Collins. Running back Woody Marks caught the only touchdown pass of the day from C.J. Stroud, but Higgins remains clearly the team's second receiver, playing well ahead of Christian Kirk and Xavier Hutchinson, who he has passed on the depth chart during the course of his rookie season. Higgins can be a deep-league option going forward, especially with favorable matchups the next few weeks.

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller played 37% of snaps on Sunday against the Jets but only finished with one catch for 13 yards on his three targets. The Dolphins' other tight end, Greg Dulcich, caught all three of his targets for 41 yards while playing 54% of snaps. It was a disappointing showing for Waller, who returned from a pec injury in Week 13 with two catches for 47 yards against the Saints. He will remain a boom-or-bust fringe starter at tight end since he does get attention in the Dolphins' passing game, but right now, Tua Tagovailoa is managing the low-volume passing offense, with a focus on short passes and most of the downfield opportunities going to Jaylen Waddle.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale only had one carry on Sunday against the Chiefs, but he took that carry five yards for one of the team's two touchdowns of the night. The Texans extended their winning streak with a huge 20-10 win on the road in Kansas City, and Ogunbowale was more involved than usual since he helped fill in after Nick Chubb (rib) left with an injury in the first half. Ogunbowale could help fill in the gap if Chubb misses time moving forward, although Woody Marks carried the load on Sunday with 26 carries and two catches. The Texans trust Ogunbowale near the goal line and he's a solid receiver, so he'd be an interesting option if he got significant playing time in the next few weeks.

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II scored his third rushing touchdown of the season on Sunday in his team's 34-10 win over the Jets. The rookie punched home a seven-yard rush in the fourth quarter and finished with five carries for 17 yards on the day. With De'Von Achane (rib) leaving the game early, it was Jaylen Wright who went off for the Dolphins, but Gordon did stay involved as a change-of-pace back. If Achane misses time, Gordon and Wright would both be worth a look in the Dolphins' offense that relies heavily on its running backs to make plays. However, it looks like Wright would probably be the primary back in that scenario. If Achane returns next week, Gordon and Wright would return to their typical minimal roles.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle secured five of his team-high seven targets to lead the team in receiving yards with 50 and also scored the only receiving touchdown of the day for Miami in the team's 34-10 triumph in New York. Waddle has six scores this season, and he continues to operate as the team's clear No. 1 receiver with Tyreek Hill (knee) out for the year. Waddle is up to 812 yards with four games remaining, so if he stays healthy, he has a good shot to get to 1,000 yards for the fourth time in his five NFL seasons. He'll be a solid play going forward, even though the Dolphins are a low-volume, low-risk pass offense at this point.

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce had one catch for eight yards versus the Houston Texans in Week 14. Kelce was targeted five times.

Fantasy Spin: To say Kelce had a bad night is an understatement. He struggled to find room against Houston's defense, and when Patrick Mahomes did get him the ball, he couldn't haul in it, most notably bobbling a pass into the game-sealing interception. The result, a season-low eight yards. Despite that, at a position with few airtight options, Kelce remains a viable midrange TE1.

From TheHuddle

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright had a career day in Week 14's 34-10 win over the New York Jets after De'Von Achane (ribs) exited early. Wright finished with 24 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown while also seeing three targets but not hauling in any of them. The second-year back has only been active in six games this season, with 10 touches being his most in a game, which came back in the Week 8 blowout win against the Atlanta Falcons. He's been firmly behind rookie Ollie Gordon II in the pecking order for touches, but Wright operated ahead of Gordon in this game after Achane left in the second quarter due to a rib injury. Gordon also punched in a touchdown on seven carries. The severity of Achane's injury is currently unknown, but Wright would emerge as a priority waiver-wire addition if Achane were to miss any time.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown handled 12 carries for just 23 yards while adding three receptions (four targets) for 12 yards and another touchdown as a receiver in Sunday's loss in snowy Buffalo. Brown continues his stretch of strong production for fantasy managers, averaging 19.2 PPR points per game over his last six outings. The 25-year-old running back surprisingly had his lowest yards-per-carry mark in a game this season against a Bills defense that allowed 5.2 yards a pop entering the game, the second-worst mark in the league. It comes after three straight games in which the speedy back averaged over five yards per tote. But Brown made up for his lack of efficiency by posting his second two-touchdown game of the season. He will remain a high-end fantasy option in Week 15's divisional matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
