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.

Chigoziem Okonkwo TE | WAS
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.

Will Reichard K | MIN
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.

Courtland Sutton WR | DEN
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.
