  • FA Linebacker #58

    Raiders coach Tom Cable said MLB Kirk Morrison’s elbow injury is a two-week deal.
    Cable also added that Morrison was ahead of Ricky Brown in their battle for the starting middle linebacker job. Assuming Morrison gets back in time for the preseason finale, which Cable said he could, we expect Morrison to be the Week 1 starter. Brown remains a candidate to start on the strong side.
  • NYG Quarterback #2

    Drew Lock completed 21-of-49 passes for 227 yards and an interception in the Giants’ 14-11, Week 14 loss to the Saints.
  • TB Running Back #44
    Sean Tucker rushed three times for 47 yards in the Bucs’ Week 14 win over the Raiders.
    Bucky Irving left this game early with a back issue, but the Bucs leaned on Rachaad White to the tune of 17 carries and three targets. Tucker also had two targets but came down with neither of them. Tucker made a push to force a three-man backfield earlier this year but has since been phased out of the offense. An Irving injury could be his ticket back into the mix. If Irving misses Week 15, we’d expect Tucekr to be more involved. He should be stashed in deeper leagues ahead of his matchup with the Chargers.
  • PIT Tight End #88
    Pat Freiermuth caught 3-of-3 targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers’ Week 14 win over the Browns.
    He only saw three targets on the day, but Freiermuth made the most of his opportunities. Two of his three catches went for 20-plus yard gains, with his final catch resulting in a touchdown late in the third quarter. The targets haven’t been there for Freiermuth in most weeks, as he’s now seen four or fewer targets in eight of his last nine games. For this reason, he’ll be a boom-or-bust TE2 in Week 15 against the Eagles.
  • TB Tight End #88
    Cade Otton caught 3-of-4 targets for 70 yards in the Bucs’ Week 14 win over the Raiders.
    Otton saved an otherwise quiet day with a 44-yard catch on the Bucs’ final drive. He finished the team with a team-high in receiving yards and posted his best fantasy outing since Mike Evans returned to the lineup. On the other hand, Otton registered a dismal 14 percent target share and needed an improbable long grab to escape the TE3 ranks on the week. Otton has struggled to earn targets with Evans on the field and that won’t change in Week 15. He enters the fantasy playoffs as a mid-range TE2.
  • TB Wide Receiver #13
    Mike Evans caught 4-of-5 targets for 69 yards in the Bucs’ Week 14 win over the Raiders.
    The Raiders got constant pressure on Baker Mayfield, who also appeared to be dealing with a minor ankle injury, forcing the ball out of his hands quickly on a high percentage of his plays. Evans’ long-developing deep routes weren’t as easy to connect on this week, resulting in a sleepy stat line from the veteran receiver. He still came one yard short of leading the team in receiving and his four catches tied two other players for a team-high, so it wasn’t all bad for Evans. He should rebound as a high-end WR2 when the Bucs take on the Chargers next week.
  • NO Quarterback #4
    Saints beat writer Nick Underhill reports Derek Carr left the stadium with his non-throwing hand in a cast following the Saints’ 14-11, Week 14 win over the Giants.
    Carr had completed 20-of-31 passes for 219 yards, a touchdown, and an interception before he foolishly vaulted into his own teammate, Kevin Austin, on a fourth quarter scramble. He landed as hard as possible, injuring his hand and necessitating a concussion evaluation. Carr wasn’t doing much of anything before the pointless stunt, though his supporting cast is as admittedly as undermanned as possible at the moment. It certainly seems like we are going to see Jake Haener in Week 15 against the Commanders, but nothing is ever that simple for Carr. Either way, the situation has lost all fantasy relevance. Stay tuned.
  • PIT Running Back #30
    Jaylen Warren rushed nine times for 47 yards in the Steelers’ Week 14 win over the Browns, adding two receptions for 25 additional yards.
    It was another efficient day for Warren, who averaged 6.5 yards per touch while ripping off four plays of 10-plus yards. Warren didn’t find the end zone in this one, but he continues to be a reliable RB3/Flex play for managers in half/full-PPR leagues. He’ll remain as such when the Steelers take on the Eagles in Week 15.
  • PIT Running Back #22
    Najee Harris rushed 16 times for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers’ Week 14 win over the Browns.
    Harris returned to his inefficient ways in this one, but he still managed to churn out a passable fantasy performance. The Steeler’s RB1 still led his team in touches and found the end zone on a one-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Harris didn’t earn a target in Sunday’s outing, and his rushing total was aided by a 20-yard run on the Steelers’ second possession of the day, but the Steelers won’t be pivoting off their burly early-down grinder any time soon. With a tough Week 15 matchup against the Eagles on tap, Harris has the feel of a volume-based RB3.
  • ATL Quarterback #18
    Kirk Cousins completed 23-of-37 passes for 344 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions in the Falcons’ 42-21, Week 14 loss to the Falcons.
    Cousins’ 344 yards were his second most of the season, but he’s now “up to” eight interceptions and zero touchdowns over his past four starts. Today’s giveaways weren’t as embarrassing as they were in Week 13, but they were not “run of the mill” interceptions. The first was a double-clutch to nowhere, while the second was a down-field Kyle Pitts target that simply sailed. Cousins was trying to go down the field more after looking completely done last weekend, but he seems to have no idea where the ball is going if he actually has to put anything on it. This is, frankly, getting closer and closer to benchable territory, but the Falcons seem loath to order the Michael Penix code red. The Raiders are a much better Week 15 matchup than Minnesota, but Cousins struggles to even crack the top 20 in fantasy anymore.
  • TB Quarterback #6
    Baker Mayfield completed 18-of-29 passes for 295 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions in the Bucs’ 28-13, Week 14 win over the Raiders.
    Mayfield appeared to twist his ankle early in the game and had his foot wrapped after the drive. He walked gingerly on the foot a few times but never missed a snap because of the issue. It’s something to watch out for on the Bucs’ injury report this week but won’t put him at risk of missing Week 15. The Raiders got consistent pressure on Mayfield, forcing four sacks, a lost fumble, and the two interceptions. Now fully in his gunlsinger era, Mayfield’s turnovers have been an issue for the Bucs but not his fantasy backers. Mayfield has scored at least three times in all but one of his five games with two or more interceptions. Mayfield will stay at the back of the QB1 ranks for his Week 15 date with the Chargers.
