  • Darren Waller TE | CAR

    Dolphins' Darren Waller: One catch against Jets

    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.

  • Ethan Pocic C | BAL

    Browns' Ethan Pocic: Suffers Achilles injury

    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.

  • Dolphins' Ollie Gordon: Backs up Wright after Achane injury

    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.

  • Mason Taylor TE | NYJ

    Jets' Mason Taylor: Leading receiver in Week 14 loss

    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.

  • Jets' Adonai Mitchell: One-catch game following breakout

    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.

  • Riley Leonard QB | IND

    Colts' Riley Leonard: Starting opportunity awaits

    Leonard completed 18 of 29 passes for 145 yards for no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 36-19 loss to the Jaguars. He added two rushes for five yards and a rushing touchdown.

    Leonard entered the game late in the first quarter after Daniel Jones suffered an Achilles injury. It was Leonard's second appearance as a pro, and some inconsistencies followed, as expected. Positively, he used his mobility well to extend plays, on one occasion hitting Alec Pierce on the run for a 24-yard gain. Leonard also scrambled for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter to record his first NFL score. On the other hand, he had a pass intercepted and was also sacked for a safety on back-to-back possessions in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach for the Colts. Jones' injury is feared to be season-ending, lining Leonard up to be the starter so long as Anthony Richardson (eye) is also out.

  • Browns' Shedeur Sanders: First breakout game of career

    Sanders completed 23 of 42 passes for 364 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding three rushes for 29 yards and another score in the Browns' 31-29 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

    Sanders' final line emphasizes the breakout quality of the rookie's performance, which was fueled by a 60-yard touchdown pass to Jerry Jeudy, another pair of passing scores to David Njoku (one yard) and Harold Fannin (seven yards), and a seven-yard rush TD, with the latter two plays occurring in the fourth quarter. Head coach Kevin Stefanski opted to take the ball out of Sanders' hands during an attempt at a game-tying two-point conversion after the touchdown pass to Fannin, but it was otherwise another significant step in the right direction for the fifth-round pick. Sanders showed increasing command of the offense by spreading the ball around to eight different targets, and he'll next make a trip to Soldier Field to face off with the Bears next Sunday.

  • Kyle Pitts TE | ATL

    Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Paces Atlanta in receiving again

    Pitts caught six of 10 targets for 90 yards in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks.

    For the second straight game, Pitts was the favorite target for Kirk Cousins, as the tight end led the Falcons in catches, targets and receiving yards. In the three games since Michael Penix (knee) was lost for the season and Cousins took over at QB, Pitts has posted a 15-197-0 line on 23 targets, giving him some real momentum heading into a Week 15 tilt against Tampa Bay.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | NYG

    Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Held to one grab Sunday

    Mooney caught one of four targets for six yards in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks.

    Even with Drake London (knee) out of action again, Mooney couldn't get anything going against Seattle's tough defense, as tight end Kyle Pitts wound up leading Atlanta in all receiving categories. In the three games London has missed, Mooney's managed just a 6-105-1 line on 12 targets, making him little more than a dart throw for fantasy purposes in Week 15 against the Buccaneers, whether London is healthy or not.

  • Tony Pollard RB | TEN

    Titans' Tony Pollard: Career-best rushing total in win

    Pollard rushed 25 times for 161 yards and two touchdowns in the Titans' 31-29 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Pollard churned out a new single-game career-best rushing yardage total in the Titans' second win of the season, with a 65-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter serving as the highlight of his stellar afternoon. The veteran back went on to add a 32-yard scoring scamper late in the third quarter to finish with his first multi-TD tally of the season. Pollard had topped 90 rushing yards only once this season before Sunday, so the breakout against what had been a tough Browns defense was particularly unforeseen. Pollard will look to author a fitting encore in a Week 15 road clash against the 49ers next Sunday.
