Dalton Kincaid • TE • Bills

Dalton Kincaid Set Up for Big Game if Active on Sunday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals after being limited in practice this week. Kincaid has been sidelined since injuring his hamstring in Week 10 versus the Miami Dolphins. The 2023 first-round pick has been excellent in limited action this season, hauling in 29 of his 33 targets for 448 yards and four touchdowns in eight games. The 26-year-old tight end is set up with a dream matchup for his potential Week 14 return against the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati has been horrendous against opposing tight ends this season, allowing by far the most PPR points per game, in addition to 13 touchdowns -- five more than the next closest team. It seems like Kincaid will be a game-time decision on Sunday. He's been the Bills' most reliable pass-catcher when active and would profile as a strong TE1 if he can play on Sunday.

Deshaun Watson • QB • Browns

Deshaun Watson Expected to Stay With Browns Next Year

The Cleveland Browns are planning to keep quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) on their roster next season, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. While Watson is considered unlikely to play this season as he continues to recover from a torn Achilles that required multiple surgeries, the team has expressed interest in keeping him on the roster, noting that the 30-year-old's veteran presence is valuable for their pair of rookie quarterbacks in Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel. Another big reason Watson is expected to return is due to the fact that the Browns would have to take on a dead salary of close to $135 million if they released him before June 1 and a $53 million cap charge if he was designated as a post-June 1 cap casualty. The record for dead-cap money was set by the Denver Broncos with quarterback Russell Wilson at $85 million, which they split into two years, but releasing Watson would cost the Browns significantly more. With Watson set to return in 2026, he's expected to compete with Sanders and Gabriel for Cleveland's starting gig.

Keon Coleman Tough to Trust in Week 14 Against Bengals

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman returned in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers after serving as a healthy inactive the past two games due to disciplinary reasons. Coleman hauled in two of his three targets for nine yards and his fourth touchdown of the season. The second-year wideout hasn't taken the step forward as the team's WR1 as many had hoped, recording 34 receptions for 339 yards and four touchdowns on 52 targets in 10 games. Since his monster Week 1 performance when he collected eight receptions for 112 yards and a touchdown on a season-high 11 targets, he's been held below 50 yards in every game. Coleman has some momentum heading into Week 14 against the Bengals after scoring in back-to-back games, but he isn't a trustworthy fantasy option in 12-team leagues at this stage of the season.

Tyrell Shavers • WR • Bills

Tyrell Shavers has Limited Upside in Week 14

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers broke out for 90 yards and a touchdown on four receptions (five targets) in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, he has failed to register a target over the past two games. The 26-year-old has operated as part of the Bills rotation at receiver this year and hasn't run a full route share in any game this season, maxing out at 61.8% in Week 6, with no other game above 37.5%. With Buffalo adding Keon Coleman back into the mix after a two-game absence for disciplinary reasons, along with veterans off the street in Gabe Davis and Brandin Cooks, Shavers is unlikely to see many opportunities. The second-year wideout has an ideal Week 14 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, but Shavers profiles as just a deep-league dart throw in re-draft leagues.

Khalil Shakir • WR • Bills

Khalil Shakir Looking to Bounce Back in Favorable Week 14 Matchup

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir matched a season low with just one reception for five yards on four targets in last week's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bills opted for a heavy run approach with 51 total carries to 23 pass attempts, and Shakir's production suffered as a result. His four targets tied for the second most on the team, but it was another frustrating performance for his fantasy managers. The 25-year-old now has three games with only one reception after recording zero such games in his breakout 2024 season. Shakir is still the clear top target for the Bills, but their run-heavy offensive approach limits his ceiling. He could have some targets taken away in Week 14 against the Bengals with the potential return of top tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring), who is currently listed as questionable to play for the first time since Week 10. It could be a great spot for Shakir to bounce back against a Bengals defense that has been the worst in the league. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR27 in PPR formats in Week 14.

James Cook • RB • Bills

James Cook in Line for Another Big Day in Week 14

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook recorded a season-high 32 carries for 144 yards during last week's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite missing both starting tackles, Cook and the Bills' ground game tore up the Steelers for 249 total rushing yards. The 26-year-old has been an elite fantasy asset all season, handling 231 rushing attempts for 1,228 yards and eight touchdowns with 27 receptions (29 targets) for 236 yards and a touchdown. He ranks as the RB6 on the year, averaging 18.6 PPR points per game. The Bills' RB1 has already set a career high in rushing yards and is set up to surpass his career high of 237 carries in Week 14 against a porous Cincinnati Bengals defense. The Bengals have allowed the most PPR points per game to opposing running backs, setting Cook up for another potential massive game on Sunday.

Josh Allen • QB • Bills

Josh Allen in Prime Position for Huge Week 14 Performance

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen scored his 30th total touchdown on the season in last week's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Allen completed 15 of 23 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown while adding eight carries for 38 yards and a score on the ground. The 29-year-old signal-caller didn't need to throw the ball much, though, as the Bills gashed Pittsburgh for 249 yards on the ground, and he worked his way into the end zone for his 11th rushing touchdown of the season -- three more than any other quarterback. Allen is set up with a dream matchup in Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals, who have allowed the most points per game in the league and concede the fourth-most passing yards per game. The superstar quarterback blew up for six touchdowns back in Week 11 at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he could be gearing up for another nuclear game in Week 14.

Brock Bowers • TE • Raiders

Brock Bowers Should See Heavy Usage in Week 14

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is coming off an awesome two-touchdown game against the Los Angeles Chargers last week. Bowers hauled in all four of his targets for 63 yards and two trips to the end zone in the loss. This marked the first time that Bowers has scored a touchdown since Week 9. Fantasy managers are finally getting the elite tight end that they drafted at the beginning of the season. The expectation is that Bowers will see heavy usage this weekend. The Raiders only have three healthy wide receivers, so there's not a ton of competition for Bowers. The 22-year-old is by far the best receiving option on the team. He was held in check during his last outing versus the Denver Broncos in Week 10, catching one of three targets for 31 yards. Bowers will seek revenge in a home matchup this weekend. Fantasy managers should plug in Bowers as a high-end TE1 for this weekend.

Jack Bech • WR • Raiders

Jack Bech Should Have Expanded Role Against Denver

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech is expected to have an expanded role during the Week 14 matchup versus the Denver Broncos, with fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton Jr. (concussion) ruled out. The Raiders are banged up with only three healthy wideouts right now. Last week, Bech hauled in two of his three targets for 22 yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He played 56 percent of the offensive snaps, which was the most for Bech since Week 7. The rookie wideout figures to see more of the field on Sunday, but production isn't guaranteed, especially against one of the best defenses in the NFL. The Raiders have struggled to move the ball in the passing game this season. Bech should be viewed as a risky flex option, even in the deepest of leagues, for Week 14.

Tyler Lockett • WR • Raiders

Tyler Lockett Offers Low-End Flex Value

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett is looking to bounce back after giving fantasy managers a dud last week. Lockett struggled to make an impact, hauling in his lone target for 11 yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Before that, Lockett was actually playing well with three catches or more in each of his three previous contests. Lockett has also finished with 40 receiving yards or more in two of his four games in Las Vegas. The familiarity with quarterback Geno Smith has probably helped Lockett get more comfortable in this offense. The biggest problem is that the Raiders' offense hasn't been able to successfully move the ball through the air this season. There is hope that Lockett can have a bounce-back game in Week 14. He hauled in five receptions for 44 yards during the last meeting against the Denver Broncos. Fantasy managers should put Lockett in the low-end flex category for this weekend.

Marcedes Lewis • TE • Broncos

Marcedes Lewis Signed to Active Roster

Denver Broncos tight end Marcedes Lewis was signed from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Lewis has been elevated three times, so he must be signed to the active roster if the team wishes to keep him. The 41-year-old will now stick on the active roster for the rest of the season. At this point in his career, Lewis is basically depth and an extra blocking option. He hasn't finished with more than six receptions in a single season since the 2021 campaign with the Green Bay Packers. Lewis can be ignored in all fantasy formats going forward.

Tre Tucker • WR • Raiders

Tre Tucker Carries Limited Upside in Tough Week 14 Matchup

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has recorded three receptions or fewer in four of the past five games since Brock Bowers returned in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tucker has operated as the Raiders' primary wide receiver, but the production has been limited. The 24-year-old had an intriguing two-game stretch in Weeks 11 and 12, totaling seven receptions (18 targets) for 75 yards and scoring his first touchdown since Week 3. Tucker has recorded at least two receptions in every game this season and remains a viable fantasy option in deep leagues due to his volume of routes. He faces a tough matchup in Week 14 against an elite Denver Broncos secondary that held him to two catches for 28 yards in their Week 10 meeting. Tucker is tough to trust as anything more than a low-end flex option in a struggling Raiders offense.

Chig Okonkwo has Limited Upside in Challenging Week 14 Matchup

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo hasn't emerged as a consistent fantasy option in his fourth season, recording 39 receptions for 406 yards on 51 targets, and is still looking for his first touchdown through 12 games. Okonkwo has been sharing snaps with rookie tight end Gunnar Helm, who ran more routes than Okonkwo for the first game this season in Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Even in a Titans offense that has arguably the worst wide receiver group in the league with Calvin Ridley (leg) out for the season, Okonkwo hasn't emerged as a go-to target for rookie quarterback Cameron Ward. The 26-year-old tight end carries limited upside headed into Sunday's matchup against the Cleveland Browns and should be viewed as a TE3 option.

Ashton Jeanty Facing Tough Week 14 Matchup

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty has displayed his receiving ability in recent weeks, recording at least six receptions in three straight games. Jeanty has struggled to be efficient as a runner all season due to the Raiders' poor offensive line, but he's still found ways to deliver for fantasy managers. Since Week 9, the rookie first-rounder has recorded 70 carries for 190 yards and a touchdown to go with 28 receptions for 165 yards and two touchdowns on 34 targets. His 28 receptions during that span trail only Christian McCaffrey, and he ranks as the RB10 in that stretch with 16.3 PPR points per game. Jeanty will look to stay productive as a receiver in Week 14 against the Denver Broncos' stout defense. The rookie totaled 19 carries for 60 yards and a touchdown with three receptions (three targets) for five yards against them in Week 10, and he profiles as an upside RB2 in Week 14.

Noah Brown • WR • Commanders

Noah Brown Activated Off Injured Reserve

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (groin, knee) was activated off injured reserve and will play in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings. Brown's 21-day practice window was opened last week, but he was ultimately held out for Week 13's game against the Denver Broncos. The 29-year-old wideout has missed 10 consecutive games due to groin and knee injuries. Washington's offense is now as close to full health as it's been all season, with No. 1 wide receiver Terry McLaurin returning last week and second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) returning on Sunday. Brown will be fourth in the pecking order for targets behind McLaurin, Deebo Samuel Sr., and Zach Ertz in his return, and profiles only as a deep league option in Week 14 against the Vikings.

Cameron Dicker • K • Chargers

Cameron Dicker Faces Low-Scoring Projection, Remains a Low-End K1

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker remains a reliable option despite facing a Week 14 matchup that is expected to be one of the lowest-scoring games of the week. Dicker went 1-for-1 on field goals, hitting a 56-yarder, and was perfect on extra points last week against the Las Vegas Raiders. The drop from his usual top-three ranking to K11 reflects the conservative game projections against a strong Philadelphia Eagles defense and the uncertainty at quarterback, as Justin Herbert (hand) is listed as questionable. However, the game flow is expected to be run-heavy and competitive, which often leads to stalled drives and more field-goal opportunities. Considering Dicker's consistency and leg strength, fantasy managers should still view him as a dependable low-end K1 who is likely to get enough scoring opportunities throughout the game.

Oronde Gadsden • TE • Chargers

Oronde Gadsden Faces Tough Matchup on Monday Night

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden faces a tough Week 14 challenge after the passing offense stalled following Justin Herbert's hand injury, leading to just one catch for 27 yards on two targets last week. Crucially, Gadsden failed to see a red-zone target for the second consecutive game after seeing 10 in the previous five. The matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles is extremely challenging, as their defense ranks among the top three against tight ends, allowing only three touchdowns all season and just nine PPR points per game to the position. RotoBaller ranks Gadsden as TE14 this week, especially with Justin Herbert (hand) listed as questionable. While the rookie has shown promise, the combination of the restructured, short-area passing offense and one of the league's toughest tight end defenses means Gadsden should be considered a high-end TE2 this week.

Quentin Johnston • WR • Chargers

Quentin Johnston Remains a TD-Dependent WR3 in Week 14

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston is coming off a three-reception, 23-yard, one-touchdown game against the Las Vegas Raiders. However, the passing attack still heavily depended on quick, short passes to compensate for issues along the offensive line. Johnston will face a tough matchup against Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, who ranks 10th in allowing the fewest fantasy points per route. Additionally, the Eagles' pass defense ranks 24th in fantasy points allowed per dropback when in zone coverage. Johnston has struggled against zone, with a 14% target rate and 1.16 yards per route run. He is officially off the injury report after dealing with a shoulder injury, but the tough matchup, combined with the expected run-heavy game and uncertainty at quarterback, suggests he will continue to be a boom-or-bust low-end WR3, heavily reliant on scoring a touchdown.

Jayden Reed • WR • Packers

Jayden Reed Activated Off Injured Reserve, Will Play in Week 14

The Green Bay Packers activated wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's matchup against the division rival Chicago Bears. Reed will play in Week 14 for the first time since suffering a fractured collarbone in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. The 25-year-old wideout also entered the season dealing with a Jones fracture, but he appears to have recovered from both injuries and is good to go for Sunday. Reed has served as a dynamic weapon for the Packers since entering the league in 2023. He led Green Bay in nearly every receiving category last season, recording 55 receptions for 857 yards and six touchdowns on 75 targets, while also adding 20 carries for 163 yards and one touchdown as a runner. Reed has the talent to assert himself as Green Bay's No. 1 option even in a crowded pass-catching room. He could be eased back into action on Sunday against the Bears, and should be viewed as a low-end WR3/flex option.

Keenan Allen • WR • Chargers

Keenan Allen's Usage Concerns Persist Heading into Monday Night

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen continues to see a decrease in usage, following a performance of four receptions for 30 yards on five targets against the Las Vegas Raiders, averaging just 7.5 yards per catch. His longest reception was only 10 yards, and his limited opportunities are further emphasized by having only one red-zone target in his last five games. Allen faces a tough Philadelphia Eagles secondary in a game expected to be run-heavy, regardless of whether Justin Herbert (hand) or backup Trey Lance is under center. If Lance starts, a drop in production from all receivers is anticipated. RotoBaller ranks Allen as WR39 this week. While he remains a dependable option for chain-moving targets, the combination of his decreasing usage, limited red zone chances, and smaller aDOT makes Allen a risky low-end WR4 with little upside.
