  • D'Andre Swift RB | CHI

    Bears' D'Andre Swift: Manages 82 yards in tough matchup

    Swift rushed the ball 13 times for 63 yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers. He added three receptions on four targets for 19 yards.

    Swift was stuck in a secondary role to Kyle Monangai in the first half, but he ended up with one more touch than the rookie. Swift didn't have any explosive plays -- his longest gain came on a 10-yard catch -- though he helped keep the Chicago offense on schedule while averaging 4.8 yards per carry. Despite slipping into a clear backfield split with Monangai, Swift has at least 80 yards from scrimmage in four of his last five games and will remain a key contributor in the Chicago offense.

  • Gunnar Helm TE | TEN

    Titans' Gunnar Helm: One catch in Week 14

    Helm caught one of two targets for eight yards in Sunday's 31-29 win over Cleveland.

    Helm saw his fewest targets since Week 9, and his eight receiving yards were a season low for the tight end. The rookie had secured 16 of 19 targets for 103 yards over the team's three previous contests, and he'll look to get back on track in Week 15 versus San Francisco.

  • Zonovan Knight RB | ARI

    Cardinals' Bam Knight: Abysmal showing Sunday

    Knight was held to 16 yards on seven carries while catching three of six targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Rams.

    Knight failed to take advantage of lead-back duties even with both Trey Benson (knee) and Emari Demercado (ankle) still missing Sunday. The 24-year-old Knight struggled to generate much running room early on, then fell victim to the blowout game script in the second half. The journeyman backup failed to mask his poor production with a trip to the end zone like we saw in Weeks 11 and 12. With the aforementioned teammates potentially nearing returns, Knight's brief run of fantasy utility could come to a close in short order, assuming it hasn't run dry already.

  • Joey Slye K | TEN

    Titans' Joey Slye: Perfect in win

    Slye connected on his only field-goal attempt and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-29 win over the Browns.

    Slye hit a 41-yarder in the fourth that put the Titans up 31-17, ultimately supplying the deciding points after Cleveland made a late run. The Tennessee kicker has missed five field goals this year and barely attempted one extra point per game, though he made the most of his chances Sunday.

  • Rachaad White RB | WAS

    Buccaneers' Rachaad White: More efficient than Irving in loss

    White rushed 11 times for 53 yards and secured one of two targets for two yards in the Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    The veteran back gained just two fewer yards than backfield mate Bucky Irving on four less carries, putting together his third effort of over 4.8 yards per carry in the last four games. White continued to see a reduced pass-catching role, however, as he's now been held to two catches and 11 yards or fewer in three of the last four games. White does appear to be the clear No. 2 back over Sean Tucker despite the latter's touchdown Sunday, so the former retains value in deeper PPR formats heading into Thursday night's Week 15 home matchup against the Falcons.

  • Titans' Chig Okonkwo: Two catches in win

    Okonkwo caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 31-29 win over the Browns.

    Okonkwo was once again relatively quiet in Week 14, recording his lowest catch total since Week 9 while failing to reach the end zone for the 13th game in a row. The tight end has been displaced as the team's top option at his position by rookie Gunnar Helm, greatly limiting his upside from a fantasy perspective. Okonkwo will look to score his first touchdown of the year in Week 15 against the 49ers.

  • Jaylen Warren RB | PIT

    Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Finds end zone as receiver

    Warren rushed the ball eight times for 13 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Ravens. He added three receptions on three targets for 49 yards and a touchdown.

    The Steelers' offense had an abysmal showing on the ground, as their 17 rushing attempts led to only 34 yards. Warren still led the backfield in attempts, but his only impact on the game came as a pass catcher, and in particular on a 38-yard touchdown catch late in the third quarter. Warren has been touchdown-reliant for the last several weeks due to his inefficiency as a rusher, but he has found the end zone in three straight contests and has five scores in his last six games.

  • Vikings' Will Reichard: Gets chances Sunday

    Reichard went 1-for-1 on field-goal tries and 4-for-4 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Commanders.

    The second-year pro did not attempt a single kick last week in a shutout loss to Seattle. Before Sunday, he had attempted just three extra points over the previous four games, as Minnesota's offense had been struggling. If the Vikings can stay hot next week against the Cowboys, Reichard should again get opportunities.

  • Cade Otton TE | TB

    Buccaneers' Cade Otton: Three grabs in Week 14 loss

    Otton brought in three of four targets for 19 yards in the Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Baker Mayfield slogged through a 14-for-30, 122-yard day in the rainy conditions, and Otton's production reflected the low-volume day for the air attack. The fourth-year tight end's strong midseason run of production increasingly feels like a distant memory, as Otton has recorded 28 or fewer receiving yards each of his last four games heading into a Week 15 home matchup against the Falcons on Thursday night.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Steelers' Aaron Rodgers: Gets more aggressive

    Rodgers completed 23 of 34 passes for 284 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Ravens. He added two rushes for zero yards and a touchdown.

    Rodgers entered the game with one of the lowest average intended air yards in the league, but he took plenty of downfield shots in Sunday's divisional matchup. He was particularly effective targeting DK Metcalf, as the duo connected for long gains of 52 and 41 yards. Rodgers also accounted for multiple scores for the first time since Week 8, beginning with a one-yard touchdown scamper and later on a 38-yard pass -- most of which came after the catch -- to Jaylen Warren. It's difficult to trust the Steelers' passing offense moving forward, but Rodgers could keep the momentum going with a favorable Week 15 matchup against Miami.
