The past two weeks have seen Broncos WR Troy Franklin go from challenging Courtland Sutton's lead-target status to barely involved in the passing game. He followed a Week 13 dip in usage by running a season-low 17 routes in Sunday's win over the Raiders. That marked just a 39.5% rate vs. Denver's 43 dropbacks. Franklin still ranked third among Broncos WRs in that category but trailed well behind No. 2 Pat Bryant (67.4%) and narrowly led No. 4 Marvin Mims Jr. (34.9%). Franklin ranked fifth among Denver wideouts in total snaps, trailing -- in order -- Sutton, Bryant, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, and Mims.

The Arizona Cardinals were short-handed at WR in Week 14, but Michael Wilson stepped up again to deliver another phenomenal performance. Wilson caught 11 of his 16 targets for 142 yards and 2 TDs in the Cardinals' 45-17 loss. Wilson has now topped 21 PPR points in Arizona's last three games playing without supposed No. 1 WR Marvin Harrison Jr.

Raiders rookie WR Jack Bech played a season-high 82% of the snaps in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. He also drew a team-high six targets, catching all of them for 50 yards. That set season highs for Bech in each of those categories. TE Brock Bowers followed with a 4-46 receiving line on five targets. WR Tyler Lockett posted a 3-41 on four targets. WR Tre Tucker caught two of five targets for 24 yards.

The Los Angeles Rams rolled up 530 yards of offense, including 249 yards on the ground, in their 45-17 Week 14 demolition of the Arizona Cardinals. Blake Corum led LA's backfield, rushing for a career-best 128 yards and 2 TDs. Despite splitting carries with Kyren Williams, Corum has rushed for 209 yards and 3 TDs in his last two games, cementing his status as one of the top players to add for the fantasy playoffs.

Packers WR Christian Watson went 4-89-2 on 4 targets in the win against the Bears. Watson tied for the team lead in targets along with TE Luke Musgrave and Jayden Reed in his first game since Week 2. Watson led the WRs with 44 snaps with the most routes run at 21. Watson has finished as a top-12 PPR WR in three of the last four weeks.

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka posted 2-15-0 in the loss to the Saints. Egbuka led the team with 10 targets with Chris Godwin coming in second with 7 targets. Godwin now has led the team in receiving for the second straight week going 5-55-0. QB Baker Mayfield’s inaccurate passes toward Egbuka didn’t help with the output. With WRs Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan set to return soon, targets may be spread even thinner.

Steelers WR D.K. Metcalf stayed overnight in Baltimore after being checked into a local hospital with stomach pain. There was fear of internal injuries after taking a hard shot in the Steelers Ravens game on Sunday. Ultimately, it was done out of an adbundance of caution and he was released to fly back to Pittsburgh today.

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Colts QB Daniel Jones needs surgery to repair a ruptured right Achilles. That ends Jones' season, puts his status for the start of the 2026 campaign in question, and leaves the Colts with a big problem at QB.

Broncos RB RJ Harvey posted a top-5 fantasy score in Sunday's win over the Raiders (pending the results of the Sunday night and Monday night games). He tallied 75 yards and a TD on 17 carries and caught all six of his targets for 25 yards.

The Vikings may have shut out the Commanders 31-0, but star WR Justin Jefferson made minimal impact on the Vikings' win. Jefferson caught two of four targets for 11 yards -- his third game in a row with fewer than 9 PPR points. Jefferson is now averaging 12.1 PPR points per game, by far the lowest of his career. A first-round pick in most fantasy drafts, the question now is, can we even afford to start Jefferson during the fantasy playoffs?

It's been a frustrating season for Kenneth Walker, and Week 14 was rock bottom. Walker crushed fantasy lineups with a season-low 3.8 PPR points in Seattle's 37-9 win in Atlanta. Walker carried 10 times for just 29 yards -- his lowest rushing output since Week 1. Walker's 3.8 points were the fewest points he's musterd in any game since Week 11 of the 2023 season -- a game he exited early with an injury.

Browns WR Cedric Tillman sustained a concussion in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Titans. It's his third documented concussion, with all three coming since January 2024. Tillman is unlikely to be cleared in time for next weekend's game vs. the Bears, but we'll monitor his progress through the protocol.

Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty stunk in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. He rushed 10 times for 30 yards and caught two balls for 8 yards. Jeanty had saved his PPR lines the previous three weeks with 6+ catches each time in three straight eight-target games.

Bijan Robinson hit the 20-carry mark in back-to-back games for the first time this season, but Robinson was held to 86 rushing yards and no TDs in Atlanta's 37-9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The Falcons were officially eliminated from postseason contention after dropping their seventh game in their last eight outings. Robinson tied a season-low with just 2 receptions and his 8 receicving yards were his second-lowest of the season.

Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. racked up 8 catches for 114 yards and a TD on 11 targets in Sunday's loss to the Titans. He nearly doubled his nearest teammate in targets while accounting for large market shares on a high-volumme passing day for Cleveland:

• 28.9% of targeted passes
• 34.8% of receptions
• 31.3% of receiving yards
• 33.3% of receiving TDs

Cleveland atttempted 42 passes for the game, well above the 33.8 per game it averaged for the season entering Sunday.

Raiders QB Geno Smith was knocked out in the second half of Sunday's game vs. the Broncos with a right shoulder injury. He threw for 116 yards and a score before exiting. QB Kenny Pickett handled mop up duty, completing 5 of 7 passes for 64 yards and 1 TD. We'll look for more info on Smith's injury, but this will continue to be a QB room to avoid in fantasy lineups.

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins managed just 26 yards on 14 carries in a favorable matchup with Tennessee on Sunday. He boosted the numbers a bit by taking his only catch -- among three targets -- for 58 yards.

Browns QB Shedeur Sanders threw for 364 yards and 3 TDs in Sunday's loss to the Titans, rushing for 29 yards and another score on three attempts. Sanders hit TE David Njoku for a 1-yard score early in the second quarter and WR Jerry Jeudy for a 60-yard catch-and-run TD later in the quarter while going a mere 9-of-14 passing for the first half. He went 14-of-28 in a second half that found Cleveland falling behind by two touchdowns. He hit TE Harold Fannin Jr. for the final TD near the end of the team. The team then took Sanders off the field for the ensuing 2-point conversion, which failed miserably after a Wildcat snap to RB Quinshon Judkins.

Commanders HC Dan Quinn said QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was cleared to return to today's game vs. the Vikings and that he plans on Daniels playing again this season. We'll see. Washington fell to 3-10 in Minnesota and was officially eliminated from postseason contention. It wouldn't make sense to us to keep throwing your franchise QB who's been beat up all season back out there. QB Marcus Mariota is at least worth stashing in 2-QB and superflex leagues. The Commanders still have plus matchups remaining against the Giants in Week 15 and Cowboys in Week 17.

Commanders TE Zach Ertz is feared to have torn his right ACL in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, HC Dan Quinn said afterward. We should get confirmation of the injury tomorrow. It would end Ertz's season and could put the 35-year-old's career in jeopardy. Ertz's absence will leave Washington's TE room to Ben Sinnott and John Bates. We'll see if Sinnott -- a 2024 second-rounder -- can build any momentum, but we wouldn't bother adding him to fantasy rosters.
