  • LAC Tackle #75

    Although GM Buddy Nix believes the Bills can win with Chris Hairston at left tackle, he would like to pick up two more players at the position this offseason.
    “People say Fitz gets the ball out quick, but we run our offense with a lot of empty sets, with five blockers and if they bring six he better get it out,” explained Nix. “In this offense he has to get it out quick.” Nix concedes that Hairston isn’t the “prettiest athlete,” suggesting more of a stopgap than a long-term solution.
  • NO Wide Receiver #10

    Marquez Valdes-Scantling caught 4-of-7 targets for 51 yards in the Saints’ Week 14 win over the Giants.
  • NYG Wide Receiver #86
    Darius Slayton caught 2-of-6 targets for 27 yards in the Giants’ Week 14 loss to the Saints.
    The No. 3 receiver spot is predictably proving to be a brutal spot to be with Drew Lock under center. Even if the G-Men go back to Tommy DeVito for Week 15’s plus Ravens matchup (in terms of pass defense, not game flow), Slayton won’t crack the top 60 in fantasy wideout ranks.
  • SEA Quarterback #7
    Geno Smith completed 24-of-30 attempts for 233 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks’ Week 14 win against the Cardinals.
  • SF Wide Receiver #1
    Deebo Samuel Sr. caught 2-of-3 targets for 22 yards and rushed five times for 13 yards in the 49ers’ Week 14 win over the Bears.
    Samuel has seemingly settled into a supporting role for the 49ers and no longer possesses the same game-breaking physical traits that viewers are accustomed to seeing. He has not forced a missed tackle since Week 10. Technically, Samuel broke his sub-30-yard, three-game streak by totaling 35 yards from scrimmage but this is hardly a usable box score. Samuel is just a flex option against the Rams next week.
  • NYG Wide Receiver #17
    Wan’Dale Robinson caught 4-of-11 targets for 38 yards in the Giants’ Week 14 loss to the Saints.
    Robinson is dealing with near league-worst quarterback play, but 38 yards on 11 targets is about as bad as it gets. Drew Lock seems destined for a benching, but it’s not like Tommy DeVito would enhance Robinson’s WR4 appeal for Week 15 against the Ravens. With bye weeks over, not even a plus matchup should be enough to get Robinson into the top 50.
  • SEA Running Back #26
    Zach Charbonnet had 22 rushes for 134 yards and two touchdowns in the Seahawks’ Week 14 win against the Cardinals, adding seven catches for 59 yards.
    Functioning as Seattle’s lead back with Ken Walker (calf) sidelined, Charbonnet shredded the Arizona defense from start to finish. He broke tackles and proved elusive throughout, including on a 51-yard sprint to the end zone in which he displayed impressive breakaway speed. Averaging over 6 yards per carry and proving efficient as a pass catcher, Charbonnet served as the centerpiece of an uncharacteristically run-first Seahawks offense in a critical win against the division foe Cardinals. If Walker is able to return next week against the Packers, Charbonnet will return to deep-league-only status.
  • SF Wide Receiver #15
    Jauan Jennings caught 7-of-8 for 90 yards and two touchdowns in the 49ers’ Week 14 win over the Bears.
    Jennings’ crafty footwork was on display once again. The veteran WR regularly created space against Bears DBs and Brock Purdy consistently found him over the middle for big gains. The two have a tangibly strong connection. Jennings is WR2-viable against the Rams in Week 15.
  • NYJ Wide Receiver #17
    Davante Adams caught 9-of-11 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in the Jets’ Week 14 loss against the Dolpins.
    Adams, as usual, led the Jets in targets and caught Aaron Rodgers’ only touchdown of the afternoon. Most of Adams’ targets were of the short and intermediate variety in an unusually pass-heavy attack by the Jets, who were without Breece Hall (knee). With double digit targets in four of his past five games, Adams is a locked-in WR2 option for as long as Rodgers is under center for the Jets. Adams will face off against a weak Jaguars secondary in Week 15.
  • SF Tight End #85
    George Kittle caught 6-of-6 targets for 151 yards in the 49ers Week 14 win over the Bears.
    Kittle regularly ran freely up the sideline post-catch with the Bears seemingly incapable of guarding him. He averaged 25.2 yards per catch and 17.2 yards after the catch, racking up one missed tackle forced, five explosive pass plays and six first downs. Bears S Jaquan Brisker is stuck on injured reserve and typically functions as a TE-coverage specialist. His team clearly misses him. Kittle is an elite TE1 against the Rams in Week 15.
  • SF Quarterback #13
    Brock Purdy completed 20-of-25 passes for 325 yards and one touchdown and rushed five times for 11 yards in the 49ers’ 38-13, Week 14 win over the Bears.
    Purdy carved up the Bears’ defense on the 49ers’ first drive, hitting Isaach Guerendo and George Kittle for explosive gains before finding Jauan Jennings for a seven-yard score, establishing the theme for Week 14. Purdy experienced a brief injury scare when he was clotheslined on a sack but missed just one play. It would be unsurprising to see him show up on next week’s injury report with a sore neck but he should be good to go as a QB1 against the Rams.
