Josh Allen Brings MVP Candidacy Into Detroit

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, the favorite to win NFL MVP entering Week 15, is doing things only an MVP would do. From logging a passing and receiving touchdown on the same play to the highest fantasy score ever by a quarterback, Allen is on a heater. He has a good chance to extend his 20-point fantasy scoring streak to nine games against the Detroit Lions. While the Lions have been stingy against quarterbacks this season (fifth-fewest points per game), a defense has yet to handle Allen in this stretch. The matchup features the slate's highest over/under line, and points should come easy. Allen is an easy start for fantasy managers this week.

Josh Allen Scores Six Touchdowns Against The Rams

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw for three touchdowns and added three more on the ground in the team's 42-44 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Allen was the biggest beneficiary of the shootout in the City of Angels. In addition to his six scores, Buffalo's franchise quarterback threw for 342 yards and ran for 82 on 10 carries. Although he hit a season-high mark for rushing yards, all three touchdowns were one-yard plunges. All of that production turned into 51 fantasy points. Despite the loss, Allen's performance confirms his status as the favorite to win MVP. Another shootout against the Detroit Lions could be on tap next week.

Josh Allen Sits Atop The Week 14 Rankings

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen remains a reliable QB1 as he and the Bills travel to Los Angeles to take on the Rams. He's scored 20 fantasy points every game over the last seven weeks, doing it through the air, on the ground, and even "catching" a touchdown in the snow. This week, the favorite to win MVP won't have to worry about the weather inside SoFi Stadium. The Rams defense isn't much of a concern, either. Los Angeles is a middle-of-the-pack fantasy defense against quarterbacks. For a quarterback of Allen's caliber, that's a green light for fantasy success.

Jalen Hurts Still A QB1 Despite Tough Test In Week 15

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will face the Pittsburgh Steelers at home on Sunday in Week 15. Hurts has relied on his rushing prowess to remain a top fantasy quarterback with 13 rushing touchdowns this season, just two shy of his previous season-high. Through the air, Hurts has thrown for under 200 yards in three consecutive games but still has managed multiple touchdowns in all but three outings this season. Pittsburgh's secondary has allowed 218.6 passing yards per game but is tough in the red zone, with 15 interceptions compared to only 14 passing touchdowns allowed. Despite the tough matchup, Hurts' dual-threat ability and red-zone dominance keeps him in QB1 territory for Week 15. Fantasy managers should temper expectations but confidently start him.

Jalen Hurts Leads Philly To Another Win

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for 108 yards and two touchdowns off 14-for-21 passing in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Carolina Panthers. He added eight carries for 59 yards and a touchdown. The Eagles were expected to cruise to an easy victory over the Panthers in Week 14. However, despite earning the win, that wasn't the case, with Hurts facing constant pressure all afternoon. Still, his performance was good enough to satisfy fantasy managers. With Philadelphia sniffing another postseason berth, Hurts and company will look for another win in the Week 15 intrastate showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jalen Hurts In Line For A Big Game Versus Carolina

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been a top fantasy signal-caller during the 2024-25 campaign. After Philly began the season with a .500 record, the Eagles haven't lost a game since their Week 5 bye. With that said, Hurts didn't look the best in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens, throwing for only 118 yards and a touchdown off a rough 11-for-19 passing, adding nine carries for 29 yards and a touchdown on the ground. However, he has an excellent chance to get back on track in Sunday's game versus Carolina. Without question, the Panthers defense has struggled throughout the year, allowing a league-worst 30.5 points per contest. To be fair, the Panthers played better than expected in recent meetings with the Bucs and Chiefs in the last two weeks. Still, things could be much different versus Philadelphia in Week 14, so Hurts should be in line for one of his best showings of the season.

Baker Mayfield Has Low-End QB1 Value For Week 15

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield needs to limit the turnovers in order to have success in Week 15. Mayfield has thrown four interceptions over the last two games, but his four touchdowns during that span have helped save his fantasy value. Mayfield played two of the weaker secondaries in the league over the last two games, but has a tougher matchup this weekend. He'll be tasked with passing against the Los Angeles Chargers defense in Week 15. Mayfield has been one of the better options in fantasy at the quarterback spot all season long. Fantasy managers should continue to ride with him, but lower their expectations to a low-end QB1 for this weekend.

Baker Mayfield Throws Three Touchdowns In Victory

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield made some mistakes but ultimately prevailed during Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Mayfield completed 18-of-29 passing attempts for 295 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions in the win. It was a hot start for Mayfield who capped off the first two drives with touchdowns. After that, Mayfield got sacked four times and threw a pair of interceptions in the first half. It wasn't the prettiest outing for Mayfield, but he was still able to give fantasy managers quality production. It's going to get tougher for Mayfield next week against a Los Angeles Chargers defense. Mayfield should remain a QB1 but on the lower end.

Baker Mayfield Has Plus Matchup In Week 14

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (Achilles, knee) has been on the injury report this week after exiting briefly during last week's win over the Carolina Panthers. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried as Mayfield is good to go after getting in back-to-back full practice sessions on Thursday and Friday. Mayfield has been an elite fantasy option throughout most of the season, but didn't deliver for fantasy managers last week. However, Mayfield should bounce back this weekend against a struggling Las Vegas Raiders defense. Mayfield should return to his QB1 ways for Sunday's game.

Jayden Daniels Looks To Continue QB1 Campaign In New Orleans

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels should be viewed as a high-end QB1 in all formats, facing the New Orleans Saints this weekend. Over his past two contests, Daniels has surprised 30.0 PPR points in each game and tallied seven scores during this span. Over these two games, the LSU product averaged 290.0 total yards per game. This is a nice improvement compared to the modest 13.0 PPR points he averaged during Weeks 10 and 11. Daniels has surpassed all expectations and provided elite fantasy production due to his dual-threat playstyle all season. Even though he will be without his No.2 wideout Noah Brown (kidney) he should be viewed as an elite QB1 despite facing a New Orleans defense that has allowed the 14th-fewest PPR points to opposing QBs this season.

Jayden Daniels Scores Four Times Against Tennessee

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels went 25-for-30 with 206 passing yards, 34 rushing yards, an interception, and four total scores in their Week 13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The Commanders got out to an early 21-point lead in the opening quarter. Brian Robinson Jr. scored on the opening drive, while Daniels added a rushing score and a TD pass to Terry McLaurin later in that frame. Then, in the second quarter, he found McLaurin in the end zone for the second time today. Daniels capped off his impressive outing with his fourth touchdown, this time on a pass to tight end Zach Ertz. With the Commanders in the driver's seat through most of the afternoon, the LSU product did not need to push the ball downfield quite often. However, he was dominant in the red zone and was able to still enjoy a strong fantasy showing. Daniels and the Commanders will get a much-needed bye week next weekend and set their sights on a Week 15 tilt in the Big Easy against the Saints.

Kyler Murray Should Have A Solid Advantage In Week 15

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray ranks between QB6 and QB10 in Week 15 when the Cardinals host the New England Patriots. Murray and the Cardinals' passing attack should have the advantage in this matchup, as the Patriots rank in the middle of the pack against the pass. The Patriots also rank 22nd in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Murray's interceptions have cost the Cardinals in their last three games, and they have lost three straight. However, Murray and the Cardinals' passing game should be due for a much-needed bounce-back against the struggling Patriots.

Kyler Murray Throws Two Interceptions In Week 14 Loss

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray delivered an average fantasy performance in the Week 14 loss to the Seahawks. Murray's official stat line was 25 completions on 38 attempts for 259 yards, two passing touchdowns, and two interceptions, while also adding 16 rushing yards. Murray's interception struggles since the bye week continued in this game, as he threw interceptions on back-to-back passes in the first quarter, making it challenging for the Cardinals to stay competitive. Despite keeping the ball clean through the first 10 weeks of the season, Murray has thrown at least one interception in each of his last three games, more than doubling his season total. However, Murray was still able to bounce back from the two interceptions, and the Cardinals' offense looked better in the second half. It was just a little too late for the Cardinals in this matchup. The Cardinals will host the New England Patriots in a Week 15 game, giving Murray great bounce-back potential.

Kyler Murray Is A High-End QB1 In Week 14

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray should be considered a high-end quarterback play in Week 14 when the Cardinals host the Seattle Seahawks. This matchup will be the season's biggest game for the Cardinals as they position themselves to try to reach the playoffs. With the stakes of this game as high as they get for a regular-season matchup, we can expect the Cardinals' offense to completely empty the playbook, which would include utilizing Murray's rushing ability. Murray has struggled in his last two games, especially in their previous matchup against the Seahawks, making him due for a huge bounce-back. The offense made strides a week ago but settled for too many field goals to get the win. With the expected increase in rushing and a sense of urgency from the Cardinals, fantasy managers should trust Murray in the starting lineup.

Derrick Henry Draws A Great Matchup In Week 15

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has slowed down just a bit over the last few weeks before the team went into their bye week. After finding the end zone in each of the first 11 games, he hasn't been able to score in their last two. In Week 15, however, Henry goes up against the New York Giants who give up an average of 22.5 fantasy points per game to opposing backfields in half-PPR formats. They even allow the fourth most rushing yards per contest at 141.7. On top of that, Henry cut off his locs to get some cornrows, so fantasy managers can consider him an RB1 heading into this matchup.

Derrick Henry Totals Over 100 Yards In Loss

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry failed to reach the end zone again during the 24-19 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Henry registered 82 yards on 19 carries and three catches for 29 yards on three targets. This was an uphill battle from the start as the Eagles possess one of the top defenses in the league. After scoring in each one of their first 11 games, Henry has failed to find paydirt in the last two. The team will get a much-needed bye week and then take on the New York Giants in Week 15.

Derrick Henry Prepared For Battle Of Top Runners

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry was finally overtaken as the league's top runner last week when Saquon Barkley put together a historic performance. Henry now sits at the RB2 in half-PPR formats and is 37 yards behind Barkley. Both defenses have been very good against the run, but the Philadelphia Eagles have given up the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing backfields. The Ravens have been a force when Henry gets 20+ carries, but the game script could be different if the Eagles' offense gets an early lead. The King still comes in as an RB1 either way.

Geno Smith A QB2 In Week 15

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith checks in as a QB2 in Week 15. The Seahawks will host the Green Bay Packers this week who have been tough against the pass all season. Smith has enjoyed a nice year statistically. He has thrown for 3,474 yards while completing 69.5% of his passes. He has even cut down on interceptions lately having only thrown two in the past four games. His issue has been touchdowns. Smith has only thrown 14 touchdown passes this season. That does not project to improve against an excellent Packers secondary. The Seahawks have been far more balanced on offense lately. They have not asked Smith to throw the ball more than 34 times in a game since Week 6. Seattle's defense has played better which has allowed time for the offense to operate. The Seahawks are winning games as a result. With all the recent success, do not expect the Seahawks to change their strategy. Smith has a solid baseline of 12 to 13 fantasy points. However, his upside is severely limited, especially in a tough matchup.

Geno Smith Efficient In Week 14

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith completed 24 of 30 passes for 233 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals. Smith looked poised all game. He only took what the defense gave him and led the Seahawks on several long drives. Smith saw low passing volume for the fourth game in a row as the Seahawks continue to try and commit to their running game. The formula is working, though, as the team has now won four straight games with this strategy. The shift in philosophy is certainly hurting Smith in fantasy. Earlier in the season, Smith relied on heavy passing volume and delivered with high yardage output. His yardage totals have still been solid, but he is sorely lacking in the touchdown department. That trend projects to continue as we head into hard-hitting winter football down the stretch. Smith is simply a low-upside streamer at this point in the season and likely is not even worth a roster spot most weeks.

Geno Smith A Streaming Option In Week 14

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is on the streaming radar with six teams on a bye in Week 14. Seattle will travel to play the Arizona Cardinals who are the No. 15 defense against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy. Smith has not produced high-end numbers since the Seahawks' Week 10 bye as the team has slowed the game down and reduced its passing volume. However, the Cardinals are always a possible bet to put up large numbers offensively. As such, the Seahawks could be forced to take to the air more. Smith's yardage has been stellar all season, but his touchdowns have been lacking. He has only thrown two since the bye week. If the touchdowns can improve this week, there is no doubt that Smith will finish as a top-10 quarterback. You could do a lot worse than Smith in your lineup this week.

Alvin Kamara Will Play In Week 15 Against The Commanders

New Orleans Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi said that running back Alvin Kamara (illness) practiced in full on Friday and will carry no injury designation into Sunday's Week 15 contest versus the Washington Commanders. Rizzi said it was his decision to keep Kamara out of Thursday's practice as a precaution since Kamara was pretty sick earlier in the week. Despite two missed practices, Kamara will be good to go this weekend. Especially with quarterback Derek Carr (concussion, hand) not expected to play this week, Kamara should be even more of a focal point for the offense as they try to pull the upset over Washington. The 29-year-old has seen double-digit carries in all but one game in 2024. For the volume alone, Kamara has RB1 upside every week, although with Jake Haener under center in Week 15, the upside could be limited.

Alvin Kamara Misses Another Practice

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (illness) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday due to an illness. Kamara is under the weather so far for Week 15 preparation and is now up in the air to suit up this Sunday when the Washington Commanders come to town. However, if the 29-year-old lead back is able to get onto the practice field on Friday, we will like his chances of being active on Sunday. Kamara has been a top-10 fantasy RB in 2024 with 223 carries for 938 yards and six touchdowns in 13 games, adding 64 receptions for 485 yards and another touchdown via the air. His 223 carries are tied for fifth among RBs, while his receptions and receiving yards lead all backs. It makes him a must-start RB in fantasy when he's healthy, although his upside won't be nearly as high with quarterback Derek Carr (concussion, hand) likely out in Week 15.

Alvin Kamara Does Not Practice On Wednesday With Illness

According to Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (illness) did not practice on Wednesday due to an illness. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status throughout the week in case the illness prevents him from practicing later on. Last weekend, during this victory over the New York Giants, the 29-year-old tallied 44 yards on 17 attempts and added 35 yards on five receptions. Despite not finding the end zone in each of his past seven contests, Kamara has still been very productive due to his high-volume role, averaging 16.0 PPR points per game. If Kamara cannot return to practice later in the week, fantasy managers should expect Kendre Miller to get the starting nod against the Washington Commanders. Last weekend, Miller ran for 32 yards and a score and would be a viable RB2 in Kamara's absence.

Justin Herbert Good To Go For Week 15 With A Good Matchup

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ankle, thigh) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the injury report ahead of a Week 15 game against the Tampa Bay Bucs. Herbert was listed with ankle and thigh injuries throughout the week, starting with a DNP on Wednesday and a limited practice on Thursday. A full practice on Friday got him off the injury report, though. Facing a Bucs defense that is in the top-10 in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, Herbert is a solid lower-end QB1 option with some upside. Herbert's upside will be directly related to whether or not rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) is able to play.

Justin Herbert Returns To Practice On Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ankle, thigh) returned to practice on Thursday, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Herbert was unable to practice on Wednesday, and seeing him back on the field just one day later is a positive sign for his availability over the weekend. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status on the injury report later on Thursday in case he was only able to log a limited session. Herbert sustained these injuries during last weekend's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. In this game, Herbert tallied only 213 yards and a score. However, in his previous six contests, the Oregon product has averaged a solid 21.2 PPR points per game and tallied nine total scores during this span. If Herbert can suit up this weekend, he should be viewed as a solid QB1 facing a weak Tampa Bay secondary that has allowed the most PPR points to opposing QBs this season.UPDATE: Herbert was limited on Thursday.

Justin Herbert Doesn't Practice On Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ankle, leg) did not take part in the team's practice on Wednesday after head coach Jim Harbaugh said "we'll see" when asked if Herbert would practice. With Herbert out, Taylor Heinicke and Easton Stick saw action under center. The 26-year-old Herbert took a hard hit in Sunday night's loss to the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs and looked to be in quite a bit of pain, but he ended up missing only one play, finished out the contest, and didn't look to be slowed by his ankle/leg injury. Herbert is as tough as they come and should be available for a Week 15 tilt against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday, even if he misses a few practice sessions. Fantasy managers hoping for QB1 value this weekend from Herbert would like to see his top wideout, rookie Ladd McConkey (knee) return after missing Week 14.

Consider Jordan Love A QB Streamer In Week 15

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love looks to get back into fantasy managers' good graces with a standout performance against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. Love has been good, not great with three straight games where he hasn't been a fantasy QB1. The Packers being primarily run-focused hasn't helped with running back Josh Jacobs' eight touchdowns in his last four games. Getting Romeo Doubs (concussion) should help Love as Doubs has cleared concussion protocol and will be active for his first game action since Week 12. Love will have his full complement of pass-catchers back, but Seattle's pass defense has been excellent lately as they've allowed the fourth-lowest yards per attempt to quarterbacks since Week 11. Love is more in the streaming category of fantasy quarterback rather than a locked-in starter for Week 15.

Jordan Love With 206 Yards And A Passing Score In Packers’ Loss

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love was a bit of a disappointment in the Packers' 34-31 last-second loss to the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions in Week 14. Love only had 20 pass attempts, completing 12-of-20 pass attempts for 206 yards and a single touchdown pass to Tucker Kraft in the beginning of the third quarter. On the ground, Love also added 23 yards on the ground, most of that coming from an eight-yard scramble in the first drive and then a 14-yard scramble in the second quarter. Without much in the way of passing volume, it would have taken extreme efficiency for Love to thrive from a fantasy perspective. He'll look to improve in Week 15, where he and the Packers will travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks. Consider Love a back-end fantasy QB1 for that matchup.

Jordan Love On The QB1 Borderline for Week 14

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has two multiple-touchdown games in a row over his last two weeks and looks to make it three in a divisional matchup with the Detroit Lions in Week 14. Love has picked up his production after a lull in Weeks 8 and 9; a Week 9 where he faced the Lions at home and had his second-worst fantasy performance of the season. Detroit has given up the fifth-fewest fantasy points to the quarterback position, and Love will have his work cut out for him in this second matchup. With Romeo Doubs (concussion) ruled out, Love will be down a receiving weapon on Thursday night, but should still be considered a borderline fantasy QB1 for this matchup.

Kyren Williams Eclipses Century Mark On Thursday

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams ran the ball 29 times for 108 yards during Thursday's victory over the San Francisco 49ers. The Notre Dame product also brought in both of his targets for four yards. While the Los Angeles passing attack was held in check for most of the evening, Williams led the way with his hefty workload. This is the second-straight week Williams touched the ball at least 30 times. Since Week 12, Williams has scored at least double-digit PPR points in each contest and averaged 17.1 PPR points per game during this span. In addition, he found the back of the end zone four times during this stretch. Given his integral role in the Rams offense, fantasy managers should always view Williams as a safe RB1 as he should provide a consistent floor in any matchup. He has another tough matchup ahead of him next weekend, facing the New York Jets, who have allowed the eighth-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs.

Kyren Williams Is A Top-10 Running Back On Thursday

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams has a tough road matchup against the 49ers on Thursday, but he remains a top-10 running back given his recent form and workload. While Blake Corum has been more involved, Williams continues to dominate opportunities and is coming off a season-high 29 carries last week against the Bills. Williams wasn't especially efficient with those carries, averaging just 3.0 yards per carry and finishing with 87 rushing yards, but he saved his fantasy day with a pair of rushing scores. He has 14 touchdowns in 13 games this season and is over 1,000 rushing yards for the second straight season. He had 89 rushing yards, 27 receiving yards and three touchdowns against the 49ers in Week 3, and he's RotoBaller's RB7 for this week's divisional rematch.

Kyren Williams Delivers Two More Touchdowns Against The Bills

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams posted another strong week against the Bills in Week 14 with two more rushing touchdowns and 87 rushing yards on a season-high 29 carries while adding two catches on two targets for 10 more yards. He has 1,013 rushing yards on the season, giving him back-to-back seasons with over 1,000 rushing yards. He has four scores in his last three games and 14 touchdowns in 13 games this season. While Blake Corum did mix in early, Williams continues to dominate the workload in the backfield and helped the Rams dominate time of possession 65% to 35% in their wild 44-42 win over Buffalo. The third-year running back will be on a short week before facing the 49ers on Thursday Night Football. While San Francisco has been good against the run, they have given up 16 RB touchdowns, so Williams still has RB1 upside due to his consistent trips to the end zone.
