  • LAC Tackle #75

    Bills GM Buddy Nix ranks left tackle as the team’s top need entering the draft.
    “I think the left tackle is vital,” said Nix. “I don’t care how good your receivers are if you’re on your back you can’t throw it to him. You’ve got to protect your quarterback first I think.” USC’s Matt Kalil is unlikely to last until the 10th pick even if the Vikes pass on him. The Bills may end up stuck with Chris Hairston battling a second-day tackle on Ryan Fitzpatrick’s blindside.
  • TEN Wide Receiver #0

    Calvin Ridley caught 7-of-12 targets for 59 yards in the Titans’ Week 14 loss to the Jaguars.
    Outside of a 30-yard reception in the late fourth quarter, Ridley was the recipient of some very short-yardage targets from Will Levis against the jaguars. He is still the clear top pass-catcher in the Titans offense, but that did not translate to much in a low-scoring affair. Ridley and Levis failed to connect on red zone drives and though he is seeing elite usage with 19 targets over his last two games, the production is yet to come. Ridley is a high-end WR3 for Week 15 against a weak Bengals defense.
  • MIA Running Back #28
    De’Von Achane had 14 rushes for 23 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins’ Week 14 win against the Jets, adding six catches for 45 yards.
    Achane did almost nothing with his 20 touches and still had a nice fantasy outing against New York. He saw plenty of high-value touches with Raheem Mostert sidelined with a hip injury but was stuffed on six of his seven inside-the-ten carries on the day. Jaylen Wright, meanwhile, had only two rushes. Achane remained in the game after a wicked first half shot to the head that landed him in the blue medical tent. The slippery, speedy Achane has as much weekly upside as any running back in the game with Mostert out. Achane in Week 15 will take on a Texans defense that ranks among the league’s best run stopping units.
  • MIN Quarterback #14
    Sam Darnold completed 22-of-28 passes for 347 yards and five touchdowns in the Vikings’ 42-21, Week 14 win over the Falcons.
  • CLE Wide Receiver #3
    Jerry Jeudy caught 5-of-6 targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Browns’ Week 14 loss to the Steelers.
    Jeudy fell just 171 yards shy of replicating his Week 13 performance against the Broncos, but he turned in yet another solid outing with Jameis Winston under center. His receiving production was buoyed by a 35-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter, while the majority of his other catches came when the game was out of reach. Credit Pittsburgh’s defense for keeping Jameis Winston and the passing game off-balance for most of the afternoon, as Jeudy’s six targets were still good for second-most amongst the Browns behind David Njoku (13). Jeudy will look to stay hot in Week 15 when he and the Browns play host to the Chiefs.
  • LV Tight End #87
    Michael Mayer caught 7-of-9 targets for 68 yards in the Raiders’ Week 14 loss to the Bucs.
    Mayer logged career highs in catches and targets while earning the second-most yards in a game of his young NFL tenure. The former second-round pick returned to the lineup in Week 11 after missing most of the season for personal reasons. Though he will fall behind Brock Bowers in the pecking order for targets in most weeks, Mayer could be more involved than most backup tight ends going forward given the lack of wide receiver talent on the team. He could sneak into the TE2 ranks for Vegas’s Week 15 matchup with the Falcons.
  • CHI Defensive Tackle #99
    Bears DT Gervon Dexter Sr. exited Week 14 against the 49ers with a knee injury.
    Dexter is filling in for the Bears’ difference-making DT Andrew Billings, who currently resides on injured reserve. Should Dexter be ruled out, the 49ers will likely attack the Bears’ weakened defensive interior. Dexter was seen removing himself from a goal-line scrum, grabbing at his injured right knee.
  • LV Quarterback #10
    Desmond Ridder completed 12-of-18 passes for 101 yards in the Raiders’ 28-13, Week 14 loss to the Bucs.
    Aidan O’Connell went down with a leg injury late in the second quarter. He was placed in an air cast and carted off the field, ending his day and possibly his season. With Garnder Minshew also done for the year, Ridder appears to be the Raiders’ starting quarterback for the final month of the season. Ridder almost instantly lofted a nightmare interception to Bucs cornerback Zyon McCollum after taking over, but McCollum didn’t complete the catch and the pick was overturned after review. Ridder ended the day with a dreadful 5.6 yards per attempt and no scores. This isn’t groundbreaking analysis, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere for a streaming quarterback, even in Superflex leagues.
  • TEN Running Back #2
    Tyjae Spears rushed six times for 21 yards in the Titans’ Week 14 loss to the Jaguars, adding one catches for two yards.
    Spears continued his backup duties against the Jaguars, coming in to spell Tony Pollard and take a few third-down snaps for the Titans. Limited opportunities have capped Spears’ fantasy potential as he has battled injuries while Pollard has taken on a workhorse role. Spears is a handcuff to Pollard but nothing more at this stage of the season.
  • PHI Wide Receiver #83
    Jahan Dotson caught 1-of-2 targets for five yards in Philadelphia’s Week 14 win over the Panthers.
    Effectively splitting the third-wideout role with Johnny Wilson, Dotson was out-snapped 29-to-24. Dotson did out-target Wilson 2-to-1. These numbers all amount to neither player being startable in fantasy football leagues. Dotson has not seen as many as three targets in a game since Week 6.
  • MIA Wide Receiver #10
    Tyreek Hill caught 10-of-14 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins’ Week 14 win against the Jets, adding one rush for six yards.
    Hill went over the 100-yard mark for the first time since Week 1. It was only his fifth game of the season with more than five receptions in a decidedly down 2024 campaign. Hill’s touchdown came in the fourth quarter on a game-tying drive in which he and Jonnu Smith were featured. The veteran showed no ill effects of his lingering wrist injury, though he did not separate from defenders the way he has in previous seasons. In a check-down heavy Miami offense, Hill will be a top-20 fantasy play next week against the Texans.
