  • FA Linebacker #58

    Despite entering contract seasons, Raiders LBs Kirk Morrison and Thomas Howard will both report to training camp on time.
    It looks like the Raiders will avoid any surprise holdouts, aside from perhaps first-round pick Darrius Heyward-Bey. Morrison and Howard both return as every-down linebackers. “Captain” Kirk is the more desirable IDP. Oakland will likely broach extension negotiations with the youngsters in-season.
  • CHI Wide Receiver #15

    Rome Odunze caught 4-of-5 for 42 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears’ Week 14 loss to the 49ers.
    Odunze failed to earn a single target in the first half but made up for lost time in the second, securing both of Caleb Williams’ Week 14 touchdowns. The full-game results fail to inspire but Williams’ decision to turn to Odunze while in come-back mode could pay off down the stretch. Odunze is an intriguing flex option against the Vikings in Week 15.
  • CHI Wide Receiver #13
    Keenan Allen caught 3-of-5 targets for 30 yards in the Bears’ Week 14 loss to the 49ers.
    Allen was largely out of sight and out of mind in this one, earning just one target, which he failed to catch, in the first half. The Bears’ offense was out of sorts as the 49ers’ pass rush swarmed Williams all day long. Allen is just a WR3/4 against the Vikings in Week 15.
  • LAR Tight End #86
    Colby Parkinson caught his only target for 11 yards in the Rams’ Week 14 win over the Bills.
    Parkinson hasn’t seen more than two targets in a game since October 6th against the Packers. He should not be on any fantasy rosters with the Rams’ wide receivers healthy.
  • LAR Wide Receiver #5
    Tutu Atwell caught all three targets for 45 yards in the Rams’ Week 14 win over the Bills.
    With Demarcus Robinson leaving the game in the second half with a shoulder injury, Atwell was thrust into a larger role and delivered, including a crucial conversion on fourth and five late in the fourth quarter that set up a huge touchdown to extend the Rams’ lead. There is no word yet on the severity of Robinson’s injury, but if he were to miss any time, Atwell would enter the fantasy conversation in deeper leagues as the clear third option in the Rams’ passing attack.
  • CHI Wide Receiver #2
    DJ Moore caught 6-of-8 targets for 49 yards in the Bears’ Week 14 loss to the 49ers.
    Moore’s eight targets led the team but his overall stat line falls far short of expectations. Moore did what he could for his team, averaging 7.2 yards after the catch but the 49ers’ defense largely stonewalled the Bears’ offense. Moore is a WR2/3 with big-play upside against the Vikings’ blitz-happy defense in Week 15.
  • LAR Wide Receiver #10
    Cooper Kupp caught 5-of-8 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in the Rams’ Week 14 win over the Bills.
    Puak Nacua saw 14 targets and dominated the Bills’ secondary on Sunday, so it was Kupp’s turn to play second fiddle; however, the 31-year-old also made a few tremendous catches, including a touchdown against double coverage where he was able to pin the ball against his knee and then haul it in. While Kupp may not have as much juice after the catch as he used to, he remains a strong route runner with elite hands and is firmly on the WR2 radar in fantasy leagues.
  • LAR Wide Receiver #17
    Puca Nacua caught 12-of-14 targets for 162 yards and a touchdown in the Rams’ Week 14 win over the Bills, adding 16 yards and a touchdown on five carries.
    Nuca was electric in this one. He often found himself working open over the middle of the field against the Bills’ zone defense, but even when he was blanketed by good coverage, he continued to make stellar catch after stellar catch. He did come up hobbling at one point in the fourth quarter after tripping on a block attempt, and the Rams put a heating pad on his calf when he was on the bench. He scored after returning to the game, so he didn’t seem impacted by the injury, but it’s worth noting if he winds up limited in practice early in the week. He should be locked in as a WR1 next week against the 49ers.
  • LAR Running Back #22
    Blake Corum rushed eight times for 34 yards in the Rams’ Week 14 win over the Bills.
    Corum looked good with his carries and did show the tackle-breaking ability that made him a star at Michigan. However, he continues to be used to briefly spell Kyren Williams at times, even when Williams averages just 3.0 yards per carry, like today. Corum is a solid target in dynasty leagues because of his tackle-breaking ability, but this is firmly Williams’ backfield in 2024.
  • CHI Quarterback #18
    Caleb Williams completed 17-of-23 passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns, rushed four times for 27 yards and lost one fumble in the Bears’ 13-38, Week 14 loss to the 49ers.
    Williams’ fumble was the result of a mid-throw decision to not release the football. He simply lost his grip and launched the ball somewhat backward and to the left, at the end of his follow-through. He staved off a complete flop with two second-half touchdown passes but was almost constantly under duress despite Nick Bosa (oblique/hip) being ruled out before kickoff. Williams was sacked seven times, tying for the second-highest sum of his young career. Williams is a QB1/2 against the Vikings in Week 15.
  • LAR Running Back #23
    Kyren Williams rushed 29 times for 87 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams’ Week 14 win over the Bills, adding 10 receiving yards on two catches.
    Williams was gashing the Bills early, ripping off five or six-yard runs throughout much of the first quarter. However, the Bills rush defense clamped down after that, and even though Williams did punch in a seven-yard run in the third quarter for his second touchdown of the day, he found little other running room and wound up averaging just 3.0 yards per carry. He still has a stranglehold on the rushes in this backfield, but he could be in for another tough day against the 49ers in Week 15, so his fantasy managers will be hoping for the same kind of success in the red zone that he had today.
