Johnson carried the ball twice for 25 yards and caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals.

The backup RB caught multiple passes for a sixth straight game, while his 25 rushing yards were a season high. Ray Davis, Buffalo's usual No. 2 RB behind James Cook, didn't get a touch at all Sunday. Johnson has a 14-176-1 line on 16 targets during that six-game stretch while chipping in 56 rushing yards and another score, giving him some modest PPR appeal heading into a Week 15 meeting with the Patriots.

Cook carried the ball 18 times for 80 yards and caught both his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals.

The star running back had a little trouble holding onto the ball in snowy, cold conditions, committing two fumbles and losing one, but he reached 100 scrimmage yards for a fourth straight game and the sixth time in the last seven contests. Over that stretch, Cook has piled up 771 rushing yards and three TDs on the ground while adding a 17-178-1 line on 17 targets. He'll face a much tougher test in Week 15 against the Patriots' stingy run defense.

Taylor rushed the ball 21 times for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars. He also lost a fumble.

Taylor got off to a strong start, racking up 15 yards and a touchdown on four carries on the Colts' second drive. However, things went downhill from there, as Daniel Jones (Achilles) exited the game, allowing the Jaguars' defense to focus their entire attention on Taylor, and Taylor also lost a fumble early in the second quarter that led directly to a Jaguars' score. His efficiency had already suffered of late, and the state of the Colts' offense is a concern moving forward. Both factors dampen Taylor's fantasy outlook for the rest of the season, though his volume and ability to hit for long runs will still give him the chance to be a strong fantasy performer.

Fannin secured eight of 11 targets for 114 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 31-29 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

Fannin played an integral role in Shedeur Sanders' career-best performance, leading the Browns in receptions, receiving yards and targets with figures that also all qualified as season highs. Fannin's score, his fourth of the season, came on an impressive seven-yard catch late in the fourth quarter for the final points of the afternoon, and he now has at least six receptions on four occasions during his productive rookie campaign. Fannin will take a 59-619-4 line on 85 targets into a Week 15 road matchup against the Bears next Sunday.

Allen completed 22 of 28 passes for 251 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals. He added 78 rushing yards and a TD on nine carries.

The Bills found themselves staring at a 21-11 deficit at halftime, but Allen once again put the team on his back in a comeback victory, with a 40-yard touchdown run in the snow midway through the fourth quarter being his biggest play -- the longest regular-season TD run in history by a Buffalo quarterback, breaking his own record. Allen has reached 12 rushing touchdowns for the third straight season while also producing a 22:10 TD:INT in 13 games, and he'll likely need to be sharp again in a huge AFC East showdown against the Patriots in Week 15.

Waller caught one of three targets for 13 yards and added a four-yard carry in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets.

Waller was outplayed by Greg Dulcich, who caught all three of his targets for 41 yards. The last time Waller had more than three targets in a game was his second appearance for the Dolphins in Week 5, though Waller has been limited to only four subsequent appearances by a pectoral injury that led to a stint on injured reserve. Up next for Waller and the Dolphins is a Week 15 trip to Pittsburgh.

Pocic is feared to have suffered an Achilles injury during Cleveland's loss to the Titans on Sunday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Pocic was carted off the field in the second half and is now set to undergo testing to determine the severity of the injury. If the 30-year-old is forced to miss extended time, Luke Wypler would likely take over as the team's starting center.

Gordon rushed five times for 17 yards and a touchdown but wasn't targeted in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets.

Jaylen Wright (24 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown) was the primary beneficiary of De'Von Achane's (ribs) second-quarter exit, but Gordon contributed a seven-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. More opportunities could be available for both Wright and Gordon if Achane's sidelined or limited against the Steelers in Week 15. Gordon has scored a rushing touchdown in two of his last three games, but the rookie sixth-round pick hasn't exceeded 46 rushing yards in any game.

Taylor caught five of eight targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Taylor led the Jets in catches and receiving yards while tying John Metchie for the team lead in targets. Rookie quarterback Brady Cook showed a nice connection with Taylor after replacing the injured Tyrod Taylor (groin) in the first half, so the rookie tight end's fantasy outlook is unlikely to be significantly impacted regardless of whether Cook, Tyrod or Justin Fields (knee) starts at quarterback in Week 15 against a Jaguars defense that has struggled to defend tight ends.

Mitchell caught one of six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Mitchell cooled off after his breakout performance against the Falcons in the previous game, though he wasn't helped by subpar quarterback play from third-stringer Brady Cook, who replaced Tyrod Taylor (groin) in the first half. Mitchell caught eight of 12 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown against Atlanta but has caught only four of 19 targets for 76 yards across three other appearances for the Jets. His target volume has been encouraging, but the inconsistent wide receiver's floor will remain low in Week 15 against the Jaguars, especially if the Jets start Cook or Justin Fields (knee) under center.
