  • 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.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Leading receiver on 10 targets

    Sutton corralled six of 10 targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over Las Vegas.

    The Broncos nicked and cut the Raiders' defense with a bunch of underneath routes Sunday, resulting in Sutton leading the team in targets, receptions and yardage on modest totals. The 29-year-old has been a steady fantasy option with per-game averages of 4.3 receptions and 59.5 yards to go along with five touchdowns across 13 starts. Sutton should continue providing a high floor for fantasy managers when the Broncos host the Packers next Sunday.

  • Andre Szmyt K | CLE

    Browns' Andre Szmyt: Held to five points in loss

    Szmyt converted his lone field-goal attempt and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-29 loss to Tennessee in Week 14.

    Szmyt, who rebounded from a zero-point effort in Week 13, could have had a couple more points, but Cleveland opted to go for two points after each of its two fourth-quarter touchdowns. His make came from 38 yards out. The rookie kicker has been successful on 85 percent (17-of-20) of his tries, but Cleveland's poor offense rarely puts him in the position to be of great value for a fantasy team. Szmyt's 20 field-goal attempts ranks 29th in the NFL.

  • Caleb Williams QB | CHI

    Bears' Caleb Williams: Throws key pick in loss

    Williams completed 19 of 35 passes for 186 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers. He added four rushes for 15 yards.

    The Bears had an abysmal first half, managing only 71 net yards on 28 offensive plays. Williams predictably played a significant role in that showing, as he had only 32 yards on 14 pass attempts. However, he rebounded for a decent effort in the second half, recording three completions of at least 20 yards while also tallying a pair of one-yard passing scores. That was enough for Williams to turn in a passable fantasy performance -- particularly given the tough matchup -- but he ended the Bears' rally in the final minutes of the game with an interception in the end zone. Overall, Williams managed only his third multi-touchdown showing in his last six games, and he's also reached 200 passing yards in only half of those six matchups.

  • Keon Coleman WR | BUF

    Bills' Keon Coleman: Manages two catches against Bengals

    Coleman logged two receptions on three targets for 16 yards Sunday in a 39-34 Week 14 win over Cincinnati.

    On a snowy Sunday, Josh Allen completed passes to nine different teammates, with much of his production going to tight ends Dawson Knox (6-93-0) and Dalton Kincaid (4-41-1). None of Buffalo's wide receivers had more than two catches or 21 yards, though Khalil Shakir did manage a TD reception. Coleman was a healthy scratch for both Week 11 and Week 12 due to disciplinary measures, and in two games since returning to action, he's tallied four catches on six targets for 25 yards and a touchdown.

  • Isaiah Bond WR | CLE

    Browns' Isaiah Bond: Shut out in loss

    Bond failed to secure either of his two targets in Sunday's 31-29 loss to the Titans in Week 14.

    Bond's two targets came on deep throws, as he had quarterback Shedeur Sanders have flashed some long-ball chemistry the last three games. Unfortunately for the rookie, Bond was shut out for the fourth time in the last six games. Cleveland's passing offense was the best its been since the Joe Flacco days (Weeks 1 and 2), which offers hope that Bond could evolve into a viable threat over the final few weeks of the season.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Another inflated line in Week 14

    Corum posted 128 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries while catching his only target for three yards in Sunday's 45-17 rout of the Cardinals.

    Corum was able to take advantage of starter Kyren Williams' brief absence in Week 13 in order to elevate his game in the loss to the Panthers. The talented backup benefited from a favorable game script Sunday that afforded him the opportunity to pad his stats in garbage time of the blowout win over the Cardinals. That said, Corum did score the first of his two touchdowns when the game was closer in the first half. The Michigan product has carved out a nice role behind Williams this season, but it would be stunning if Corum maintains this level of production as the change-of-pace option against the Lions next Sunday.

  • Gabe Davis WR | BUF

    Bills' Gabe Davis: Nabs two catches in Week 14 victory

    Davis finished Sunday's 39-34 victory versus the Bengals with two catches on two targets for 21 yards.

    Josh Allen spread the ball around to nine different pass catchers on a snowy Sunday, with much of his production going to tight ends Dawson Knox (6-93-0) and Dalton Kincaid (4-41-1). Among the Bills' wideouts, Davis had the most receiving yards, though Khalil Shakir finished with the better fantasy line due to hauling in a touchdown. Davis has seven catches on 10 targets for 88 yards through four games heading into a Week 15 road battle in New England.

  • Cairo Santos K | CHI

    Bears' Cairo Santos: Makes every kick Sunday

    Santos hit both field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers.

    Santos hit from 33 yards in the second quarter and 41 in the third. A tough matchup against a good defense and a two-point conversion by his own team limited his extra-point opportunities, though. The Bears face another tough defense, Cleveland, in Week 15.

  • Raiders' Ashton Jeanty: Quiet showing against Denver

    Jeanty rushed the ball 10 times for 30 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos. He added two receptions on four targets for eight yards.

    The Raiders were within one possession for nearly three quarters of the game, though they still attempted only 12 rushes. Jeanty accounted for 10 of those, but his longest gain went for only six yards, and three of his 10 carries went for two yards or fewer. He's now been held to 50 rushing yards or fewer in five of his last six games, and he also had his lowest reception total since Week 7.
