  • Rams' Harrison Mevis: Makes six extra points

    Mevis hit all six extra-point attempts and his only field-goal try in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Cardinals.

    The Missouri product has made at least three extra points in all five of the games this season in which he's served as the Rams' primary kicker. Mevis took over for the struggling Joshua Karty in early November and has yet to miss, going 3-for-3 on field goals and 23-of-23 on extra points. He should remain a quality fantasy option in one of the league's highest-scoring offenses.

  • David Njoku TE | LAC

    Browns' David Njoku: Never returns to Week 14 loss

    Njoku was ruled out after leaving Sunday's loss to the Titans with a knee injury, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. He caught his lone target for a one-yard touchdown.

    Njoku hurt his knee while making a diving catch for a touchdown on the second play of the second quarter. After heading directly to the locker room following the incident, Njoku returned to the field but only to enter the medical tent. He's battled a sore knee the last three weeks, and it looks like that streak will extend at least one more week. Harold Fannin, who also caught a touchdown Sunday, will be the main beneficiary if Njoku is forced to miss any games.

  • Josh Oliver TE | MIN

    Vikings' Josh Oliver: Makes most of looks with two TDs

    Oliver caught both of his targets for 24 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-0 victory over Washington.

    Oliver came into Sunday with one or zero targets in nine of his 10 games this season, so the fact that he got two balls thrown his way was out of the ordinary in itself. Not only did Oliver catch both of those targets, he scored on each one, reeling in an 18-yard TD in the first quarter and a six-yard score in the third. On the season, four of Oliver's nine catches have gone for a TD, making him about as extreme a TD-dependent fantasy option as it gets.

  • Jaguars' Brian Thomas: Makes splash plays

    Thomas recorded three catches on six targets for 87 yards in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Colts.

    Jakobi Meyers led the Jaguars in targets, but Thomas delivered several big plays to pace Jacksonville in yardage. He made a particularly impressive one-handed catch down the right sideline late in the first quarter for a 39-yard gain -- his longest of the day. Thomas' other two catches went for 30 and 18 yards, giving him his highest yardage total since Week 6. While he's had a disappointing season, Thomas has a strong chance to remain on track heading into a favorable Week 15 matchup against the Jets.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Rams' Davante Adams: Takes back seat to Nacua

    Adams finished with four receptions on six targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 45-17 rout of the Cardinals.

    Adams suffered his worst fantasy output of the season in Week 14 as the Cardinals keyed in defensively on the touchdown machine. The 32-year-old's scoring streak of six games (featuring 11 touchdowns) finally came to end after QB Matthew Stafford spread the wealth to Los Angeles' other receiving options Sunday. Co-starter Puka Nacua shined with a 7-167-2 receiving line, leaving little work for Adams in the second half of the lopsided blowout. Adams will look to get back to his scoring ways when the Rams host the Lions for a potential offensive showdown in Week 15.

  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Hits all four kicks

    McLaughlin went 2-of-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-of-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Saints.

    The kicker made a 41-yarder late in the first half to put the Bucs ahead and a 37-yarder late in the second half to get them within four. McLaughlin last missed a kick in Week 6 against San Francisco, and he's missed only five total -- four field goals and one extra point -- all year.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Jaguars' Jakobi Meyers: Earns 10 targets

    Meyers recorded four receptions on 10 targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Colts. He added three rushes for nine yards.

    Meyers continued to solidify himself as Trevor Lawrence's favorite target, and he took advantage of Parker Washington's (hip) absence to log his first double-digit target performance since Week 2. He was inefficient with the opportunity, though he did manage a 14-yard touchdown reception late in the first quarter -- his most impactful play in the blowout win. Meyers has now found the end zone in three straight games and has at least six targets in each of his last four contests.

  • Bears' Olamide Zaccheaus: Boosts quiet day with TD

    Zaccheaus caught two of three targets for seven yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 14 loss to Green Bay.

    Heading into Sunday, it appeared Zaccheaus might play a larger role with Rome Odunze (foot) sidelined, but it was instead Luther Burden who bumped his production with a 4-67-0 line on a team-high six targets. Zaccheaus did deliver a touchdown grab from one yard out in the third quarter, however. The veteran slot receiver hasn't had more than two catches in a game since Week 9, so he'll remain a very risky fantasy play in Week 15 against Cleveland, especially if Odunze is able to return to action.

  • RJ Harvey RB | DEN

    Broncos' RJ Harvey: Racks up 100 yards plus TD

    Harvey took 17 carries for 75 yards and a touchdown while hauling in all six of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over Las Vegas.

    Harvey continued his recent success as Denver's lead back with a return trip to the end zone after scoring twice on the ground in Week 13. The second-round rookie took full advantage of the soft defensive matchup by cracking the century mark in yards from scrimmage for the first time in his promising career. Harvey made his mark primarily as a receiving back earlier this season, but he is getting an opportunity to flash his all-around game due to J.K. Dobbins (foot) being on injured reserve. Harvey should be viewed as a starting option in standard fantasy formats for next Sunday's tilt against the Packers.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Catches TD in Week 14 win

    Parkinson reeled in three of five targets for 32 yards and a touchdown Sunday in a 45-17 victory against Arizona.

    Parkinson finished third among Rams pass catchers in targets and trailed only Puka Nacua, who dominated with a 7-167-2 line, in receiving yardage. Since Tyler Higbee (ankle) landed on IR ahead of Week 12, Parkinson has emerged as the Rams' top tight end with 11 catches for 100 yards and two touchdowns over three games. Pushing that out further, Parkinson has tallied four scores over his past five contests, making him an intriguing -- though TD-dependent -- fantasy option at a relatively shallow position.
