Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. continues to lead the Commanders in running back touches in Week 13's 27-26 loss to the Denver Broncos with 11 carries. Backfield mates Jeremy McNichols had six, and Jacory Croskey-Merritt only had four. Rodriguez has clearly cemented himself as the running back to own in this Commanders backfield, as over the last two games, he has earned 26 carries, rushed for 120 yards, and scored two touchdowns on the ground. Moving forward, not only is he the only Commander running back that can be started in fantasy football, but he can confidently be started as an RB3 or flex play in deeper leagues. As we take a look at the next few weeks, Rodriguez gets matchups with the Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, and Dallas Cowboys in three of the next four weeks, all matchups that are far better than what he faced on Sunday Night Football against the Broncos, in which he still scored over 10 fantasy points. Rodriguez is a must-add off the waiver wire and can be plugged into lineups if you have players who are going on a bye in Week 14 or are dealing with multiple injuries in your lineups.

Arizona Cardinals second-year running back out of Florida State, Trey Benson (knee), was close to returning in Week 13, but was ruled out on Friday after participating in practice for the second straight week. It was frustrating news for fantasy managers, as most owners were expecting Benson back by now, and had been holding him on their Injured Reserve spot since Week 5. With Week 14 being the last week of the fantasy football regular season in many leagues, fantasy managers will be tasked with the tough decision of playing Trey Benson if he's active, which most signs point to being the case. Suppose Benson has been dropped to the waiver wire in your leagues. In that case, he is a priority add heading into the last few weeks of the fantasy season, as he looked sharp before his injury (5.52 YPC) and was drafted in the third round of the 2024 draft to be James Connor's (foot) eventual replacement. Additionally, Bam Knight (3.45 YPC) and Michael Carter (3.04 YPC) haven't done enough to earn the starting role once Benson is healthy and cleared to return, making Benson a lower-end RB2 when he does return.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) had six catches for 69 yards on seven targets in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. Harrison quickly reasserted himself as the No. 1 wide receiver in the Cardinals' offense in his first game back from his appendectomy surgery by hauling in three catches on the opening drive. The 23-year-old will have all eyes on him the rest of the season as fantasy managers hope to see the former Ohio State superstar break out with Jacoby Brissett under center. Brissett has managed to take the Cardinals' passing attack to the next level during Harrison's absence. According to the Cardinals, Harrison left the game in the second half due to a heel injury and was unable to return. If Harrison can play in Week 14, he should be viewed as a WR2 in a home rivalry matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter had five carries for 17 yards in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. Carter also had five catches for 47 yards on six targets. The 26-year-old was able to get involved in the passing game in Sunday's matchup to stay fantasy relevant in Half-PPR and Full-PPR leagues. Week 13 marked the first time Carter had gotten double-digit touches in a game since Week 6. 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 14. If Benson or Demercado returns, Carter will fall to RB3 duties in the Cardinals offense.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch had two catches for 14 yards on two targets in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. The 27-year-old had seen 15 targets in his previous two games. Dortch was the odd man out of the Cardinals' passing attack in Marvin Harrison Jr.'s first game back from his appendectomy surgery. With Harrison's return, the Cardinals' pass-catching room has become crowded with over five different receiving options for quarterback Jacoby Brissett to get the ball to. Dortch will be a touchdown-dependent flex option in deeper leagues heading into a difficult Week 14 matchup against rival Los Angeles Rams.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson had three catches for 36 yards on seven targets in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. The 25-year-old came falling back to earth on Sunday after having two outerworldly performances in his previous two games. Wilson took a statistical back seat to Marvin Harrison Jr. in his first game back after his appendectomy surgery. Harrison almost doubled up Wilson in catches and receiving yards on Sunday. However, quarterback Jacoby Brissett did keep his eyes out for Wilson throughout the game and forced a couple of targets Wilson's direction in key situations. Brissett and Wilson have a connection worth keeping an eye on, even with Harrison back in the fold. Wilson should remain a flex option in a pass-heavy offense despite heading into a tough Week 14 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight had 11 carries for 62 yards in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. Knight also had three catches for 36 yards with a receiving touchdown on three targets. The 24-year-old put together his best performance of the season by earning season highs in rushing yards, yards per carry, receiving yards, and his first receiving touchdown this season. Knight's performance came after being a limited participant in practice every day this week due to a knee issue. Despite having his best game this season, Knight's role in the offense will be cloudy heading into Week 14, with the potential of Trey Benson (knee) returning from injured reserve looming.

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins carried the ball 23 times for 91 yards while catching all three of his targets for 18 yards and rushing for a two-point conversion in a 26-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. Judkins continued to dominate the Cleveland backfield as Dylan Sampson got just four carries and was the only other running back to take a handoff for the Browns. Judkins has been excellent in his rookie season, rushing for 758 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games thus far. He will be a low-end RB1 in fantasy in Week 14's home game against the Tennessee Titans.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught three of his four targets for 26 yards in a 26-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. Jeudy had a chance for a bigger game as he got open behind the San Francisco defense in the first quarter but was overthrown by Shedeur Sanders. The veteran wideout is turning in a disappointing season, catching just 35 passes for 421 yards and one touchdown across 12 games. Hard to trust in fantasy leagues going forward, Jeudy will look to get on track in Week 14's home matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. turned in a productive game in a 26-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13, catching three of his five targets for 43 yards and a touchdown. Fannin provided one of the few bright spots on offense for the Browns when he hauled in a 34-yard touchdown from Shedeur Sanders in the second quarter. The rookie tight end continues to produce for Cleveland as he has 51 receptions for 505 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games this season. Looking like a high-end TE2 in fantasy for the rest of the way, Fannin will try to stay hot against the Tennessee Titans at home in Week 14.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught just one of his four targets for 13 yards in a 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 13. Pittman was quiet in the close loss as the Colts mostly leaned on Alec Pierce in the contest. The veteran receiver is putting together a solid season, posting 60 catches for 620 yards and seven touchdowns in 12 games. Despite the slow outing, Pittman remains one of the top targets on an excellent Colts offense. He will look to bounce back on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 14.

From RotoBaller

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren caught three of his four targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in a 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 13. Warren popped up on the injury report with an illness over the weekend, prompting the Colts to list him as questionable for the contest. He ultimately was able to play through the illness and hauled in a 12-yard touchdown to tie the game at 13-13 in the third quarter. Warren has been impressive in his rookie season, catching 58 passes for 684 yards and scoring six all-purpose touchdowns in 12 games. He will be a solid TE1 in Week 14's road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

From RotoBaller

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones completed 14 of his 27 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns while adding one yard on his lone carry in a 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 13. Jones found Alec Pierce and Tyler Warren for his touchdown passes in the contest but couldn't complete a pass on fourth down with 1:49 remaining in the game to give the Colts a chance at a comeback win. Reportedly playing through a fractured fibula, Jones has cooled off a bit in recent weeks. The veteran quarterback has thrown for 3,041 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions while adding five rushing touchdowns in 12 games this year. He will now begin preparing to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in Week 14.

From RotoBaller

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 21 times for 85 yards and caught three of his five targets for 36 yards in a 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 13. Taylor was held out of the end zone for the second straight game, although he was able to offset that with a solid afternoon in the passing game. The veteran running back has been excellent this season, rushing for 1,282 yards while catching 35 passes for 304 yards and scoring 17 all-purpose touchdowns. He will remain a high-end RB1 in Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road.

Washington Commanders LB Bobby Wagner had a team-high eight tackles (three solo) and an interception against the Denver Broncos in Week 13.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz collected 10 catches for 106 yards versus the Denver Broncos in Week 13. Ertz was targeted 13 times.

Fantasy Spin: Ertz had a very good game on Sunday night, but he fell short of greatness for fantasy owners with a flat-out drop of a would-be touchdown in overtime. Washington ended up scoring on the next play, though, so Ertz won't be vilified for it. Despite the drop, Ertz has emerged as a legitimate top 10 option at tight end after injuries (LaPorta, Kraft) and underperformances (Hockenson, Njoku) have thinned the position.

Dynasty | Rams wide receiver Davante Adams had four catches for 58 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to the Panthers. Dynasty Analysis: Adams may not put up the gaudy yardage numbers he used to but he now has a whopping 14 touchdown receptions on the year and has a chance to break his career high of 18 set back in 2020. In short, Adams has been a scoring machine in the red zone this year. With five games to go, he should come close to his seventh 1,000-yard season and his connection with Matthew Stafford has put him again on the WR1 line. His ultimate value could be tied to Stafford's future but his time in Los Angeles has been nothing short of spectacular.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | Bucs running back Bucky Irving had 61 rushing yards, two catches, 20 receiving yards and a touchdown in his return from injury. Dynasty Analysis: Well, so much for easing him in. Irving took right over as he had 19 touches, compared to five from Rachaad White and just two from Sean Tucker. Irving could be a late season league winner as he could easily post RB1 numbers every week with this kind of workload. Kudos to you if you bought low because that time has clearly passed. His ADP and ranking will be back on the rise at this point.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | Vikings quarterback Max Brosmer complete 19-of-30 passes for 126 yards with no touchdowns and four interceptions in a loss to Seattle. Dynasty Analysis: The Seahawks posted their first shutout since 2015 with a 26-0 thumping of the Brosmer-led Vikings. And you thought JJ McCarthy was bad!?! This was a pretty epic disaster as the Vikings just couldn't move the ball and when they did, they ended up turning it over as Aaron Jones also lost a fumble to make five turnovers on the day. Brosmer just doesn't look like an NFL-caliber quarterback and while he should stay on Superflex rosters until he's done starting, that's about the end of where his value lies.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Washington Commanders RB Jeremy McNichols had six carries for 30 yards against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. He also had two receptions for zero yards.

Fantasy Spin: McNichols and Jacory Croskey-Merritt are currently splitting time behind Chris Rodriguez, Jr. in Washington's committee backfield. The third-down back has flashed when given the chance -- he's averaging 6.6 yards per carry and 8.8 yards per reception on the year -- but until he starts getting more touches he's not cracking fantasy lineups.
