Tyler Warren TE | IND
Colts' Tyler Warren: Limited to 15 yards
Warren recorded two receptions on six targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars. He added one rush for two yards.
Warren maintained a solid role in the Colts' offense, finishing third on the team with six targets. However, he struggled to get on the same page with Riley Leonard, converting only one of his five targets into a catch, which went for only two yards. While that could change for the better moving forward, Warren's outlook has worsened due to Daniel Jones (Achilles) being out for the rest of the season.

Jayden Higgins WR | HOU
Texans' Jayden Higgins: Targeted five times
Higgins recorded three catches on five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.
Higgins finished second on the team in targets, receptions and yards, with Nico Collins being the only Texans pass catcher who was able to produce much. While his stat line wasn't spectacular, Higgins did convert a pair of first downs in the game, both of which were pivotal in Houston securing a win. He now has at least five targets in five straight games and will benefit from a better matchup in Week 15 against the Cardinals.

Harrison Butker K | KC
Chiefs' Harrison Butker: Shaky performance in defeat
Butker went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made his only PAT in Sunday night's 20-10 loss to the Texans.
Butker connected with the right upright on a 43-yard field-goal attempt late in the first half before later narrowly sneaking a 36-yard try inside the left upright in the third quarter. The missed field-goal attempt was his first since Week 4, and he hadn't missed a try from under 50 yards since the week prior. On the year, Butker has gone 22-for-26 on field-goal attempts, including 3-for-5 from 50-plus yards, while making 28 of 32 extra-point tries over 13 contests.

Michael Carter RB | TEN
Cardinals' Michael Carter: Struggles behind starter Sunday
Carter gained 13 yards on three carries and caught two of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 45-17 blowout loss to the Rams.
Fill-in starter Bam Knight (7-18-0) struggled against the Rams' defense, but Carter didn't fare much better in his limited opportunities. The 26-year-old depth piece is averaging just 3.0 yards per carry this season, which puts no pressure on the coaching staff to elevate Carter's role amidst all of Arizona's backfield injuries in 2025. Carter will continue to carry little fantasy value in a brutal matchup against the Texans next Sunday.

Dalton Schultz TE | HOU
Texans' Dalton Schultz: Held to 22 yards
Schultz recorded three receptions on four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.
Schultz maintained a significant role in the Houston offense, finishing third on the team in targets behind Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins. Collins was the only Texans pass catcher to reach at least 35 receiving yards, and Schultz was among those to post a muted stat line. He entered the game having topped 50 receiving yards in six of his last eight games, so he should return to better production in Week 15 against Arizona.

Troy Franklin WR | DEN
Broncos' Troy Franklin: Remains muted in Week 14
Franklin was held to three receptions on four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders.
Franklin continued starting opposite Courtland Sutton (6-62-0), but the former appears to have fallen out of favor after finishing in a tie with Pat Bryant (4-32-0) for third in team targets. The 22-year-old Franklin is averaging 2.5 receptions and 11.0 yards in the two games coming out of Denver's Week 12 bye. Franklin's volatility on a week-to-week basis makes the wideout hard to trust outside of deeper fantasy formats against the Packers next Sunday.

Ka'imi Fairbairn K | HOU
Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Converts two FGAs in victory
Fairbairn went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and made both of his PATs in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.
Fairbairn connected on a 35-yard field goal in the first quarter before later adding a 28-yarder in the fourth quarter, notching his eighth straight contest with at least two field-goal makes. The kicker has been an elite option for fantasy managers this season, going 29-for-32 on field-goal tries, including 5-for-8 from 50-plus yards, over 11 games.

Woody Marks RB | HOU
Texans' Woody Marks: Huge workload in win
Marks rushed the ball 26 times for 68 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs. He added two receptions on three targets for eight yards and a touchdown.
Marks was already well on his way to taking over the Houston backfield, but he had the chance to handle the entire workload after Nick Chubb suffered an injury to his ribs early in the second quarter. While it was an inefficient showing against a tough defense, Marks topped 20 carries for the first time in his rookie campaign, helping him reach at least 60 rushing yards for the fifth time in his last seven games. He also made the most of his work as a pass catcher, recording a nine-yard touchdown reception early in the second quarter. Marks missed out on the chance for an additional score after he was forced off the field due to an injury midway through the fourth quarter, giving Dare Ogunbwale a goal-line carry. While Marks hasn't been overly efficient, he has earned at least 16 carries in each of his last four games, and his role would only become more secure if Chubb is forced to miss additional time.

Jake Moody K | WAS
Commanders' Jake Moody: No kicks in Week 14
Moody did not attempt a field goal or an extra-point try in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings.
Moody was blanked along with his team in Week 14, failing to attempt a kick for the first time over five contests with the 49ers, Bears and Commanders this year. The kicker will look to break a sweat in Week 15 against the Giants.

Travis Kelce TE | KC
Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Turns in stinker on SNF
Kelce was held to one catch on five targets for eight yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Texans.
Kelce was completely eliminated from Sunday's game plan, as he was held by Houston's dominant secondary to a season-low one reception. The Chiefs committed six drops altogether on Sunday Night Football, but none stood out more than the star tight end's late bobble that landed safely in the hands of the defense on his team's second-to-last possession. Kelce has provided fantasy managers with consistent weekly production outside of Sunday's dud, so a bounce-back outing could be in order against the Chargers next Sunday.
