Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 29 of 40 passes for 196 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions in their 20-12 loss to the Houston Texans. With a great matchup, Tagovailoa could not capitalize and cost his team with the three turnovers. The 196 passing yards and only one passing touchdown mark his lowest since Week 2 when he had to exit early against the Buffalo Bills. Before Week 15, the 26-year-old was playing some of the best football of his career and was at the top in several major quarterback stats the last several weeks. Miami's playoff hopes are little to none after the crushing loss, which brings head coach Mike McDaniels's record to 3-15 against teams with a winning record. He and the Miami offense will look to rebound in Week 16 when the San Francisco 49ers come to town.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa looks to keep up his incredible run since returning from a gruesome concussion in Week 8. He has thrown for 300+ yards and multiple passing touchdowns in three straight games and has not thrown an interception since Week 10 against the Los Angeles Rams. In his last five games, Tagovailoa ranks third in passing yards and third in passing touchdowns. This week, he gets a matchup against a Houston Texans defense that somewhat struggles against quarterbacks. They rank 17th in fantasy points and 31st in passing touchdowns allowed per game. Miami must win this game if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive, and with their defensive struggles, they may have to score to keep up with Houston's offense in this game. Start him with confidence as a top 10 play for Week 15. He comes in as RotoBallers QB8 in this week's rankings.

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Isaac Guerendo was inefficient during a 12-6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Santa Clara on Thursday night. There was some question coming into the game about whether Guerendo -- who spent the week questionable with a foot injury -- could fulfill head coach Kyle Shanahan's typical bell cow usage. Guerendo answered those questions emphatically by taking 16 of San Francisco's 18 carries, but he struggled to make them count, finishing with 57 yards and no touchdowns. He also caught all four of his targets for 18 yards, keeping his night in line with fantasy projections in PPR leagues. Assuming no aggravation of his injury, the fourth-rounder will be in play for lineups in Week 16 versus the Dolphins in Miami, who have been a mildly favorable matchup for running backs this season.

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Isaac Guerendo (foot) is officially active for Thursday night's divisional clash in Week 15 versus the visiting Los Angeles Rams. Guerendo suffered a mild foot sprain in the first start of his career in the Week 14 blowout win over the Chicago Bears but will be active on a short week. Before hurting his foot on Sunday, Guerendo had 15 carries for 78 yards (5.2 yards per tote) and two rushing touchdowns, also catching both of his targets for 50 yards through the air. The 24-year-old sure looked good in the lead-back role for San Fran with both Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle) out. Guerendo will likely be the Niners' lead back the rest of the season, although he'll certainly come with more risk on Thursday night and could share more of the backfield work with Patrick Taylor Jr. Consider Guerendo a volume-based RB3/flex in Week 15.

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo (foot) "plans to play" in Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, despite being listed as questionable, Guerendo "feels good" and "plans to play" on Thursday night. The 24-year-old suffered a foot sprain in last Sunday's win over the Chicago Bears. He was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough and has a chance of playing on Thursday. Guerendo rushed for 78 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries while catching two passes for 50 yards in the Week 14 win over the Bears. With the short week and Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle) on injured reserve, the 49ers might play it safe with Guerendo and rest him. If Guerendo can't suit up, Patrick Taylor Jr. is expected to handle most of the carries, while Israel Abanikanda and Ke'Shawn Vaughn will back him up. Fantasy managers will have to check back an hour before the 8:15 p.m. (ET) kickoff to ensure Guerendo is active before setting their lineups for the first week of the fantasy playoffs.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (shoulder) returned from injury on Sunday, but was only able to corral three of his eight targets for 32 scoreless yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Broncos. With quarterback Anthony Richardson completing less than 50% of his passes in the contest, no receiver had a big day in this offense. The eight targets were second to Michael Pittman Jr.'s nine, but it was at least an encouraging sign that more bountiful fantasy days could be ahead if Richardson can fix the accuracy issue. With the fantasy football playoffs upon us, there isn't much time to resolve it though and the 23-year-old is probably too risky to play in most leagues. The Titans, next week's opponent, are middle of the pack versus wide receivers in terms of fantasy points allowed, and just allowed 14 catches for 182 yards to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, but Downs will be a dicey WR option given his environment.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (shoulder) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. He had been listed as questionable, but the expectation was that he'd be able to play. Downs has appeared in 10 games this year, catching 53 passes for 594 yards and four touchdowns. The 23-year-old seemed to play better when catching passes from Joe Flacco, but even with Andy Richardson under center, he's still a solid WR3/FLEX option as the fantasy playoffs get underway in most leagues.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (shoulder) is anticipated to suit up for Sunday's contest versus the Denver Broncos. The wideout was battling a shoulder injury, keeping him off the field for the Week 13 meeting with the New England Patriots. Fortunately, the Colts were off in Week 14. But with Downs logging full practice sessions during the week, he's expected to be back, which is good news for fantasy managers. The 23-year-old has been productive in his 10 appearances this season, amassing 53 catches for 594 yards and four touchdowns, making him a starting fantasy option for the challenging matchup against the Broncos.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will look to have another productive day against their division-rival Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. The former first-round pick has yet to return to form since making his way back from a devastating knee injury, alternating subpar and strong performances. However, his first massive outing of 2024 came back in Week 12 against these very same Chicago Bears. The 27-year-old piled up seven receptions and 112 yards in the November matchup, playing a critical role in the Vikings' late-game push. Chicago is letting up 13.6 fantasy points per game to tight ends -; the eleventh-most in the league. Additionally, the veteran has been over a 62% snap share in each of his last three appearances after not eclipsing 50% in his first three. Hockenson is RotoBaller's PPR TE6 in this week's ranks.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson caught 4-of-5 targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 42-21 win over the Atlanta Falcons. It's a slightly disappointing performance for the 27-year-old on a day when quarterback Sam Darnold threw for five touchdowns and a career-high 347 yards. Hockenson was the team's third-leading receiver in targets, yardage, and receptions on the afternoon. Still, production was hard to come by, with wideouts Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson combining for 15 catches, 265 yards, and all five scores on 19 of Darnold's 28 attempts. The Iowa alum will look to elevate his stat line next Monday night in a rematch against the Chicago Bears at home. Hockenson's last meeting with the Bears produced a season-best seven receptions and 114 yards in Week 12.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will line up against the Atlanta Falcons this weekend in a middle-of-the-road matchup. The 27-year-old has been hot and cold this season, alternating between strong and sub-par performances. He'll take on a Falcons defense that's allowed only 54 receptions to the tight end position thus far -- the ninth-fewest in the NFL. Still, Atlanta has been a favorable matchup through the air in 2024 -- letting up the twelfth-most passing yards per game. The only question left for Hockenson is whether he can recapture the consistency he showcased over the previous few seasons. He's RotoBaller's PPR TE7 ahead of Week 14.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell drew only two targets Sunday against Miami, catching both for a total of 26 yards in the 20-12 win. He also ran once for 15 yards, bringing his yardage total to 41 on the day. Dell certainly wasn't alone in having a meager performance, as Houston gained 181 total yards as a team. Unfortunately for managers who started the second-year receiver, fellow receiver Nico Collins caught both of Houston's touchdowns despite finishing with 17 receiving yards on four catches. The Texans face a bigger test in Week 16 when they travel to play Kansas City on Saturday.

Managers rostering Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell are likely reluctant to trust him at this point, which is probably the correct instinct in a difficult matchup against the Miami Dolphins. It has been quite the ride for the second-year receiver, who was initially the No. 3 behind receivers Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs, then thrust into the top spot due to injuries, and now sits as an unpredictable second option following the return of Collins. Miami ranks second against fantasy receivers and has the lowest average depth of target in the NFL, which are not great signs for a deep threat who has finished outside of the top 40 at his position eight times in 12 games played. Dell should be reserved only for formats that with two or more flex spots in this one.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Desmond Ridder is expected to make his first start of the season on Monday night against his old team, the Atlanta Falcons, according to sources. Aidan O'Connell (knee) is listed as questionable with a bone bruise in his knee. He's expected to work out before the game to test his knee, but the expectation is that the Raiders will go with Ridder in this one. The Raiders initially feared that O'Connell suffered a season-ending injury in last week's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but it ended up just being a bone bruise, which means he could return in Week 16 to face the Jacksonville Jaguars if he can make more progress in practice on a short week. Ridder went 12-for-18 for 101 yards without a TD or interception in relief of O'Connell against the Bucs. The turnover-prone signal-caller has a good matchup against Atlanta but has limited fantasy upside as a low-end QB2 on Monday evening.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Desmond Ridder is not a starting option in fantasy, even if he ends up playing Monday against the Atlanta Falcons. Raiders starter Aidan O'Connell (knee) is questionable, and with Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) out for the season, Ridder would start if O'Connell cannot. The former Cincinnati Bearcat is on his third team in a year and is now a backup option for a team in contention for the first overall pick. A fantasy manager who turns to Ridder in the fantasy playoffs is asking to start their offseason early.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Desmond Ridder completed 12 of his 18 pass attempts for 101 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also took one sack and rushed for three yards. Ridder entered in relief of Aidan O'Connell (knee), who was carted to the locker room and quickly ruled during the third quarter. The 25-year-old hasn't started a game this season, but he has made three appearances coming off the bench for Vegas. He could be headed for his first start of the year next week if O'Connell is forced to miss extended time. In Week 15, the Raiders face the Atlanta Falcons, potentially putting Ridder in a position to get revenge against his old team.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. will look to claim the No. 2 role behind Brian Robinson Jr. this weekend but is not a viable option in standard formats facing the New Orleans Saints. In Week 13 with Austin Ekeler (concussion) sitting out, Rodriguez logged seven more carries than the presumed No. 2 option Jeremy McNichols. Rodriguez performed very well, averaging just over 7.0 yards per carry in that contest and even added a late goal-line touchdown. While Rodriguez could see opportunities late in the game if the Commanders have a sizeable lead, fantasy managers should only view the 24-year-old as a high-risk flex option in deep 14-plus-team formats, as Robinson will see most of the work on the afternoon.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy caught six passes for 46 yards in the 21-7 win over the Cleveland Browns. Worthy also rushed three times for 30 yards and a touchdown in this contest. The rookie found the endzone on a 21-yard catch-and-run that was officially ruled a rush because it came on a lateral pass from Patrick Mahomes. Worthy led the team in receptions, receiving yards, and targets in today's game. Worthy's increased role is an encouraging sign heading into next week's matchup against the Houston Texans, who rank 27th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. It should also be noted that Patrick Mahomes left this week's contest with an ankle injury and is questionable for next week's game. Despite Worthy's impressive performance, it will be difficult for fantasy managers to trust him in the fantasy playoffs, especially if Mahomes misses with his injury. Worthy should be considered a flex play for Week 16 if Mahomes is active.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will face the Cleveland Browns in Week 15. The rookie receiver performed well against the Chargers in Week 14, hauling in five catches for 41 yards. While his performance was serviceable, Worthy has yet to demonstrate the ability to be an explosive fantasy producer. The 21-year-old will look to have a big game against the Browns, who rank 24th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Since Week 11, the speedster has demonstrated his ability to be a reliable part of the Kansas City passing attack. Worthy's role on the Chiefs gives him a safe floor, but since the Chiefs spread the ball around so often, his ceiling is low. Worthy is ranked WR47 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a deeper flex option against the Browns. Fantasy managers can start Worthy if they need a flex play with a decent floor, but don't expect him to win you the week.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy caught five passes for 41 yards in the 19-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Since his one-catch performance in Week 10 against the Broncos, Worthy has been a more consistent member of the Kansas City passing attack. The rookie now has four straight games of at least four catches and 40 receiving yards. The 21-year-old will look to find the endzone next week against the Cleveland Browns, who rank 24th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Worthy has provided a consistent floor over the past month but has yet to demonstrate the potential for ceiling performances. Worthy has only scored over 14 PPR fantasy points in three of his 13 games this season. Fantasy managers hope Worthy and Patrick Mahomes will connect on a long touchdown next week.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins snapped a two-game touchdown streak in the 48-42 win over the Detroit Lions on the road in Week 15 on Sunday. Hollins was targeted just three times in the high-scoring affair and was able to come down with one grab for a gain of seven yards. The dud performance coincided with both rookie wideout Keon Coleman and tight end Dalton Kincaid returning from their respective injuries. Coleman and Kincaid combined for five catches on nine targets. Meanwhile, running back Ty Johnson surprisingly led the team with five receptions for 114 yards through the air. The 31-year-old Hollins had five catches on seven targets for 64 yards and two touchdowns the previous two games, but that may be the high point of his production this year now that Coleman and Kincaid are healthy. Hollins is a nice red-zone target, but he won't be a recommended flex play moving forward.

Although he's not the best receiver on the Buffalo Bills roster, Mack Hollins has found his role on the team. He's an outstanding blocker and leads the team in receiving touchdowns. However, Buffalo has yet to play a game with their full roster of receivers. Amari Cooper (wrist) and Keon Coleman (wrist) have missed time since the former debuted in Week 7. They'll both be active on Sunday. Tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is also expected to return to the field. Although not heavily rostered now, there's even less trust in Hollins to turn a productive fantasy football performance. He can remain on waiver wires in Week 15.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins caught four of six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in the team's 42-44 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. His score came from 21 yards away midway through the fourth quarter. Hollins' playing time has increased with Keon Coleman (wrist) out of the lineup and he's now found paydirt two games in a row. However, there's little consistency in his usage with several players ahead of him in the target pecking order. Coleman is nearing a return, which would send Hollins to the sidelines more often. He does not need to be added to fantasy football rosters.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet has been a disappointment to fantasy managers outside of a few big performances. Last week, Kmet wasn't targeted at all during the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Somehow, Kmet wasn't targeted during this game despite being on the field for over 90 percent on the snaps. It's tough for fantasy managers to insert Kmet into their lineups after that one. It's worth noting that Kmet finished with seven receptions on 10 targets for 64 yards during the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Kmet will get a rematch with the Vikings this week, but remains on the TE2 radar.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet had a disappointing performance in the team's tough 38-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 14. Kmet was shut out, finishing with zero receptionsa significant step back from his recent solid performances. He was targeted on the Bears' two-point conversion attempt, but unfortunately, he dropped what was a very catchable ball, further adding to his frustration. As was the case with most of the Bears' pass catchers, Kmet's fantasy production suffered due to the team's inability to move the ball through the air, with just 134 passing yards total. It was a challenging day for the offense, and Kmet couldn't find his rhythm. The Bears will look to get back on track next Monday night when they face the Minnesota Vikings in a crucial rematch.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet is a risky fantasy start in Week 14 as he faces a solid San Francisco 49ers defense. The 49ers rank fourth in passing yards allowed, giving up only 190 yards per game. Meanwhile, Kmet's star wide receiver teammate, DJ Moore (quadriceps), is listed as questionable after being limited in Friday's practice following missed sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. While Moore is optimistic about playing, if he's unable to suit up, it would significantly boost the other pass catchers in the Bears' offense. However, Kmet has been a secondary option in the passing game all season, making him a volatile fantasy choice. He managed just three receptions for 26 yards in the Thanksgiving loss to the Detroit Lions. If Moore is ruled out, Kmet becomes a borderline TE1 with the potential for more targets. However, if Moore plays, it will be hard to confidently start Kmet, given the competition for touches in the Bears' offense.
