Jameson Williams a Locked-in WR1 in Week 14?

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is expected to operate as the WR1 in Week 14, when the Lions host the Dallas Cowboys. The former first-round pick has been a fantasy rockstar as of late, totaling over 66 yards and a touchdown in five of his last seven games. Last week, Amon-Ra St. Brown suffered an ankle injury that knocked him out of Week 13's loss to the Green Bay Packers. With St. Brown not practicing ahead of Week 14, Williams is likely to see more targets on Thursday night. Last week, Williams hauled in seven of 10 targets for 144 yards and a touchdown. The matchup is perfect for Williams as well, as the Cowboys have allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Despite being labeled as a fantasy bust earlier in the season, Williams is a locked-in WR1 in Week 14 if St. Brown is unable to play.

Blake Corum's Stellar Play Leading to More Opportunities

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum had his best game of the season in Week 13, rushing for 81 yards and a touchdown on just seven carries. While the Rams were upset by the Carolina Panthers, Corum was a bright spot in the loss and is continuing to make an impact on this Rams' rushing attack. Earlier in the season, head coach Sean McVay expressed that he wanted the backfield to be a 65/35 split between starter Kyren Williams and Corum, and that has been the case this season. While Williams has been efficient in 2025, Corum has significantly cut into his workload and made a strong impact of his own. The Rams face the struggling Cardinals' run defense in Week 14, which has allowed double-digit fantasy points to every starting running back they've faced in 2025. While it's a full-blown committee in Los Angeles, both backs carry starting fantasy value in Week 14.

Omarion Hampton Returning Just in Time for the Fantasy Playoffs

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton (ankle) is gearing up for a return in Week 14, when they host the Philadelphia Eagles. Hampton hasn't played since Week 5, after he suffered a left-ankle fracture in the loss to the Washington Commanders. Before the injury, the 2025 first-round pick was starting to play his best football, totaling 291 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns in the two weeks before the injury. However, this run game will become more of a committee than what was previously used earlier in the season. Kimani Vidal has been a force in the run game with Hampton out, logging over 100 rushing yards and a touchdown in four of his last seven games. Hampton's return will be at a great time for fantasy managers, as they prepare for a championship run in their leagues, but his value will be more as an RB2 than as the RB1 he was before.

Devaughn Vele • WR • Saints

Devaughn Vele Emerging as the Saints' Clear No. 2 Passing Option?

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele has been earning more playing time over the past three games, and in the last two specifically, he has been making the most of his opportunities. Over the past two weeks, he has earned 15 targets and hauled in 11 of them for 130 receiving yards and one touchdown. Over the past three games for the Saints, he has played 87 percent or more of the snaps, whereas before Week 10, he hadn't played more than 51 percent. The departure of Rashid Shaheed opened the opportunity for Vele to step up. He has built a solid relationship with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, and because of that, he has worked his way onto the radar as a relevant fantasy option moving forward. Chris Olave remains the Saints' clear No. 1 receiver; however, Vele has seen his value rise and is worth a look in deeper formats.

Aaron Rodgers Appears to be Healthier Heading into Week 14

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport spoke on Good Morning Football on Wednesday and reported that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) will get a little healthier this week, leading to Week 14's crucial AFC North matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Both teams are sitting at (6-6) at the top of the division, and the winner, for now, would take sole possession of the division with a few weeks left to go in the 2025 regular season. Rodgers has been dealing not only with a wrist injury but also a busted-up nose in Week 13; however, as Rapoport reported, Rodgers is a bit healthier this week, and the Steelers are going to need him to turn back the clock and perform well to give the Steelers a shot at the postseason. In his 21st NFL season, Rodgers has thrown for 2,086 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.

Adonai Mitchell's Stock on the Rise After 12 Targets in Week 13

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell has seen his stock rise since being traded to the New York Jets and being provided the opportunity to line up as the Jets' No. 1 wide receiver with Garrett Wilson (knee) on the Injured Reserve. In his three games since playing with the Jets, he's seen 25 targets and hauled in 11 of them for 154 receiving yards and a touchdown. His breakout game came in Week 13, where he went for over 100 receiving yards and a score. With Tyrod Taylor under center and the passing attack looking better the last few weeks for the Jets, Mitchell will hold WR3/flex fantasy value moving forward, especially while Wilson remains sidelined.

Jalen McMillan • WR • Buccaneers

Jalen McMillan Expected to Have his 21-day Practice Window Opened

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) is expected to have his 21-day practice window opened on Wednesday, a source said. The Bucs also opened fellow wide receiver Mike Evans' (collarbone) practice window Wednesday just in time for the end-of-season run for the (7-5) Buccaneers. McMillan had himself a nice rookie season in 2024, with 461 receiving yards on 58 targets and eight touchdowns. He stepped in for the injured Chris Godwin at the time after he suffered an ankle injury during the middle of the season and missed the rest of the 2024 campaign. As great as this news is for the Bucs and McMillan, it's not the most fantastic news for fantasy managers of Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, Tez Johnson, and Cade Otton, as once Evans and McMillan get thrown into the mix, there's going to be a lot of pass-catchers in this offense and challenging for any one receiver to have any level of consistency if quarterback Baker Mayfield spreads the ball around, which he likely would. McMillan would likely be on the lower end of that pecking order, not making him fantasy relevant for the rest of the 2025 season, but still a good option in dynasty formats.

Mike Evans • WR • Buccaneers

Mike Evans' Practice Window Opened, Returning to Practice on Wednesday

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday morning that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' legendary wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) is having his practice window opened off Injured Reserve, and he'll return to practice Wednesday. A quicker-than-expected return from a broken clavicle, Evans has been medically cleared. This is fantastic news for Mike Evans and the Buccaneers (7-5) as they make a push to win an NFC South title. From a fantasy perspective, it opens the opportunity for Evans to be an option for the fantasy playoffs. It's been a tough year for Evans from an injury standpoint: he injured his hamstring and missed Weeks 4-7, then played in Week 7 and had this collarbone injury. For the season, he's really only played three healthy games, so it will be the first time in his excellent 12-year career that he will not eclipse 1,000 receiving yards. However, getting back on the field to help the Bucs compete for a title is where his head should be. Should Evans suit up in any of the following weeks, he can be inserted into lineups as a low-end WR2 immediately.

Shedeur Sanders • QB • Browns

Shedeur Sanders Only an Option in Deep Leagues

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has had some impressive moments in his first two career starts. Sanders threw the second touchdown of his career to fellow rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. in Cleveland's Week 13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers while completing 16 of his 25 pass attempts for 149 yards and taking three sacks for a loss of 34 yards. The rookie fifth-rounder didn't turn the ball over for the first time, and head coach Kevin Stefanski has been pleased with his progress so far. The Colorado product has already been named the starting quarterback for Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans, setting up a matchup between Sanders and first overall pick Cameron Ward. Sanders is still far from being considered for fantasy purposes outside of deep and superflex leagues, but he'll look to solidify his role as the team's starter for the remainder of the season in a plus matchup.

Cam Ward • QB • Titans

Cameron Ward Worth Adding After Disappointing Week 13?

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward struggled in Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, completing 24 of 38 passes for 141 yards with one carry for seven yards. The No. 1 overall pick also took three sacks for a loss of 20 yards as the Titans' offense struggled to move the ball all game. After having arguably his best game of the season last week against an elite Seattle Seahawks defense with 292 total yards and two touchdowns, Ward's 3.7 yards per attempt against the Jaguars was his lowest in a game this season. The Titans' offensive situation has been abysmal in 2025, with a lackluster skill position group and an inconsistent offensive line. Still, Ward has shown plenty of flashes and positive elements to build on. However, it's tough to trust him (even in superflex leagues) in a brutal Week 14 road matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Marcus Mariota • QB • Commanders

Marcus Mariota in Line to Make Another Start?

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota has played great while filling in for an injured Jayden Daniels (elbow). Mariota and the Commanders nearly pulled off the upset against the Denver Broncos in Week 13, with Mariota completing 28 of 50 passes for 294 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception while adding 10 carries for 55 yards on the ground. It was a valiant effort against one of the top defenses in the league that continued a trend of the 32-year-old signal-caller playing well. Daniels reportedly has a chance to return in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings, but he has not yet been cleared for contact. More will be known about Daniels' status in practice this week, but if he needs more time, Mariota would be in line to make his seventh start of the season and would profile as a strong streaming option again versus the Vikings.

Darnell Mooney Fails to Produce With Star Teammate Out

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney failed to take advantage of Drake London (knee) being out of the lineup in Week 13 against the New York Jets, recording just two receptions for 25 yards on five targets. The 28-year-old easily had his best game of the season in Week 12 against the Saints with London out, hauling in all three targets for 74 yards and a touchdown, but he didn't find the same success on Sunday despite a favorable matchup. It's been a disappointing year for the former Chicago Bear, as he has yet to record five or more catches in a game after doing so seven times in 16 games last year. The Atlanta offense isn't as effective with Kirk Cousins under center in place of Michael Penix Jr., either, but Mooney was still expected to take on a larger role in London's absence. Mooney is just a fringe top-40 option at wide receiver at this point in the season, especially with London potentially returning as early as Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks. Mooney is probably only worth a starting lineup spot in fantasy football this weekend if London misses another game.

Tyler Lockett • WR • Raiders

Another Dud Coming for Tyler Lockett in Week 14?

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett quickly established himself in the Raiders' offense after the team traded away Jakobi Meyers at the deadline, with his familiarity and chemistry with quarterback Geno Smith from their days in Seattle playing a big part in that. Lockett had only 10 catches on 21 targets for 70 yards in seven games with the Titans to begin the year, but in five games with Vegas, he has 13 catches on 16 targets for 150 yards. Most of that damage came in Weeks 10-12 (12 catches, 139 yards). He regressed in the Week 13 loss to the Chargers, catching one of three targets for 11 yards. It's no secret that Smith likes to look for Lockett, but the Raiders' offensive line is giving Smith very little time to throw the football, and the Raiders are averaging only 184.1 passing yards per game (seventh-fewest in the NFL). Lockett will have a low ceiling again as a WR5/flex in deeper fantasy leagues against Denver's stingy defense in Week 14. However, Lockett did have a season-high five catches for 44 yards in the first meeting with the Broncos on Nov. 6.

Marquise Brown • WR • Chiefs

Don't be Fooled by Marquise Brown's Week 13 Touchdown

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown scored his fifth receiving touchdown of the year in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Dallas Cowboys last Thursday, but it came on only two catches (two targets) and 20 yards. It seems like ages ago when Hollywood had 10 catches on 16 targets for 99 yards back in the season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The 28-year-old pass-catcher had at least five targets in the first five games of the year when Rashee Rice was suspended -- Xavier Worthy also missed two games with a shoulder injury during that stretch. Since Week 5, Brown has not been targeted more than four times in a game as he's been phased out of KC's offense. In the last seven games, he has 15 catches on 20 targets for 202 yards and four scores. In a part-time role for the Chiefs, we would recommend keeping Brown on your bench in deeper fantasy leagues against the Houston Texans and their top-ranked defense in Week 14 on Sunday Night Football.

Keaton Mitchell • RB • Ravens

Keaton Mitchell Scores First Touchdown, Still Buried on Ravens' RB Depth Chart

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell scored for the first time this year in last Thursday's Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Mitchell was extremely efficient with his limited opportunities on Turkey Day, taking two carries for 19 yards and a touchdown while picking up 12 receiving yards on his two receptions (three targets). The 23-year-old third-year back only played 13% of the offensive snaps as Baltimore's RB3, though, behind Rasheen Ali (48% snap share) and Derrick Henry (40%). Mitchell had a nice 18-yard touchdown scamper against the Bengals and has intriguing explosiveness out of the backfield, but right now he's stuck as the No. 3 option in the Ravens' backfield, making him a hard sell for a roster spot in 12-team fantasy leagues. He has added value in leagues that include return yardage on special teams. Mitchell had 91 return yards on three kickoffs in Week 13.

Ollie Gordon II • RB • Dolphins

Ollie Gordon II in Danger of Losing RB2 Role in Miami?

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Ollie Gordon II has pretty much worked as the backup in Miami all year behind workhorse De'Von Achane, totaling 53 carries for 174 yards (3.3 yards per carry) and two touchdowns in 12 games in his first year in the NFL. Gordon has added six catches on eight targets for 30 yards and another TD. The 21-year-old 6-foot-2, 225-pound back had as many carries (three) as Jaylen Wright in Sunday's win over the New Orleans Saints, though, gaining just 10 yards. He was not targeted in the passing attack for the third game in a row. Achane continues to see the lion's share of the backfield touches, as he had 22 rushing attempts for 134 yards and a touchdown. Gordon gives Miami's offense a unique mix of size and speed at the RB position, but he just has not seen enough volume to be worth rostering in 12-team redraft fantasy football leagues. He's rostered in just 9% of Yahoo leagues.

Kirk Cousins • QB • Falcons

Is Kirk Cousins a Streaming Option if Top Receiver Returns in Week 14?

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 21 of his 33 passes for 234 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets. The 37-year-old looked Kyle Pitts Sr.'s way most often (eight targets), which has been the case in each of his three starts this season, but again spread the ball around, with seven different receivers earning two or more targets, and he also found David Sills V for a touchdown pass for the second straight week. The veteran QB draws a tough matchup in Week 14 as the Falcons host the Seahawks in Atlanta, a defense that has been in the bottom third in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. It will at least be a home matchup, and there is still a chance that the team's No. 1 receiver, Drake London (knee), will return for Sunday's contest. Even so, Cousins figures to be in the lower end of the QB2 ranks in Week 14.

Tyjae Spears • RB • Titans

Tyjae Spears Remains a Low-Ceiling Flex Play in PPR Leagues

In the lowest-scoring offense (14.2 points per game) in the league, Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears has a low ceiling and low floor for fantasy managers, and he should only be rostered in point-per-reception leagues. In the Week 13 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, Spears had two rushing attempts for a loss of one yard, but he salvaged his fantasy day by catching all six of his targets for 25 yards through the air. The 24-year-old's six catches were tied for the team lead, and his six targets were second on the team. Since returning from Injured Reserve due to a high-ankle sprain, Spears has a very modest 39 carries for 158 yards and one touchdown while adding 28 receptions for 173 yards on 30 targets in eight games. Fantasy managers cannot count on him to produce on the ground -- he's had more than five carries in a game only twice in eight games. Spears has had at least five targets in each of the last three games, though, which makes him a low-upside RB3/flex in deep PPR leagues going into a tough Week 14 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

Tank Bigsby • RB • Eagles

Tank Bigsby Has High-End Handcuff Appeal in Philadelphia

Across 11 games since being acquired by the Philadelphia Eagles, running back Tank Bigsby has recorded just 18 carries for 164 yards. As long as star Eagles running back Saquon Barkley remains healthy, there appears to be a firm ceiling on Bigsby's playing time and opportunity for touches. The 24-year-old has logged double-digit offensive snaps in just one game this season. However, Bigsby's average of 9.1 rushing yards per attempt is a clear indicator of his significant production upside if Barkley were to suffer an injury. In a larger, 168-carry sample size across 16 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024, Bigsby averaged 4.6 yards per attempt and scored seven rushing touchdowns. Bigsby's never provided much production as a receiver, so fellow Eagles back Will Shipley would likely handle passing-downs work even if Barkley were to go down. Still, Bigsby is a high-end handcuff option who is worth rostering in fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Brian Robinson Jr. • RB • 49ers

Brian Robinson Jr. Remains a Premium Handcuff Option

Across 13 games this season, San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. has recorded 72 carries for 328 yards and two touchdowns. While the 26-year-old has been productive when given the opportunity in his first season in San Francisco, his playing time upside is capped by the presence of superstar 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. Robinson Jr. has yet to play more than 18 offensive snaps or log double-digit carries in any game this season. However, as the fantasy playoffs approach, Robinson Jr. could be worth rostering as a premium handcuff option. He's averaging a career-best 4.6 yards per rush attempt this season and would immediately profile as a starting fantasy running back if McCaffrey were to miss time due to injury. In leagues with 12 or more teams, Robinson Jr. could be worth rostering and stashing through San Francisco's Week 14 bye.
