Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane carried the ball 12 times for 41 yards and caught all seven of his targets for 35 yards in the 20-12 Week 14 loss to the Houston Texans. The Miami offense's struggles to run the ball effectively continue with only 52 total rushing yards. This is the first time he has not gotten into the endzone in four games. Despite the poor rushing totals, his receiving output again saved Achane's fantasy day. This marks the sixth time in the last seven games that Achane has gone over 14+ PPR fantasy points. He once again paced the Miami backfield in touches by a wide margin and figures to continue that for the rest of the season. His next matchup will be back at home against the San Francisco 49ers.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane has been one of fantasy football's most consistent running backs in 2024. He scored 18+ PPR fantasy points in six of the last seven games and touchdowns in four straight. The 23-year-old also ranks second in receiving yards by a running back behind only Alvin Kamara. Week 15 presents a matchup against a Houston Texans defense that excels at stopping opposing running backs. They rank eighth in rushing yards, fourth in fantasy points, and tied for fifth in rushing touchdowns allowed per game. They're also very good at defending running backs in the passing game, ranking fifth in receiving yards allowed per game to running backs. Despite this, he remains a solid RB1 and should continue to see the bulk of the touches in the Miami backfield. His red zone presence makes him an easy start for Week 15. He comes in as RotoBallers RB5 in this week's rankings.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane carried the ball 14 times for 24 yards and a touchdown in their 32-26 overtime victory over the New York Jets. He also added six receptions on seven targets for 45 yards. This is the sixth time in the last seven games that Achane has found the end zone and scored at least 15-plus PPR fantasy points. The touchdown came from two yards out on the opening drive to give Miami an early 7-0 lead. While the rushing totals have not been great recently, he has proven time and time again that he doesn't need the ball a ton to produce. His role is as safe as almost any other back in the NFL, with Miami having no more margin for error for the rest of the season. Next on the schedule is a matchup with the Houston Texans in Week 15.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua brought in seven of his eight targets for 97 yards and paced all Los Angeles pass catchers in their victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Nacua's eight targets were three higher than all other pass catchers and five more than the other Los Angeles wide receivers. The sophomore's longest reception of the evening went for 51 yards. Despite Los Angeles not finding the end zone, their top wideout was able to enjoy another strong fantasy performance. Since returning to action in Week 8, Nacua has averaged an impressive 20.2 PPR points per game. Over his previous six contests, Nacua has caught at least seven passes in all but one game and has found the end zone three times over this span. Fantasy managers should continue to view Nacua as a high-end WR1 heading into a Week 16 matchup against the New York Jets, who have allowed the fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has established himself as one of the most elite fantasy receivers in the NFL, and he is a must-start in all formats as he faces the 49ers on Thursday Night Football. Last week against the Bills, he caught 12 of 14 targets for 162 receiving yards and a touchdown while also getting a second touchdown as a rusher and totaling 16 rushing yards on five carries. His five rushes were all plays where he went in motion and then caught a lateral, and it was clear that coach Sean McVay was committed to getting the ball in his playmaker's hands. Nacua has four touchdowns in his last four games and has averaged 12.5 targets and carries in his six complete games this season. The 49ers are a tough matchup for receivers, but Nacua's high volume and touchdown ability keep him an elite play.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua had a monster game against the Bills solid defense on Sunday afternoon, racking up 162 receiving yards and a touchdown on 12 catches while adding a second touchdown on the ground with five carries for 16 rushing yards. He had the best fantasy day of any wide receiver in PPR scoring. Nacua has been excellent all season when healthy and is up to 708 receiving yards with four total touchdowns in just eight games. He has at least 98 receiving yards in four of his last five games and at least nine catches in three of those contests. He missed the Rams' first matchup with the 49ers this year but will go up against his division foe this week on Thursday Night Football. Nacua will remain a locked-in WR1 given his large role and consistent production.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has seen a drop in fantasy production as Kirk Cousins has failed to throw even a single touchdown pass in each of the last four games, however, the 23-year-old has remained heavily involved in the passing attack, garnering double-digit targets in three of the last four games. The former first-round draft pick has a robust 75 receptions and six touchdowns on the season, however, he's topped 100 yards just once in 13 games. Without big yardage totals, a quarterback struggling to throw the ball in the red zone, and the emergence of Darnell Mooney (57-873-5), London makes for more of a high-end WR2 than a WR1, although his matchup versus the Raiders on Monday should prove to be a favorable one. The Raiders have been poor against wide receivers over the last four weeks, allowing six touchdowns and the second-most yards allowed. The Falcons are 4.5-point favorites in this one with an implied total for the team of 24.5, suggesting there will be a few opportunities for the 6-foot-4 wideout to find paydirt.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London earned 10 looks in Week 14 but was able to haul in just five of those passes, tallying 70 yards receiving in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Vikings. With Kirk Cousins going four weeks without a touchdown pass, so too has London. Still, it was the third time in the last four games that the 23-year-old totaled double-digit targets, and with the fifth-most targets in the NFL through 14 weeks, the former first-round draft pick has a reliable role in this offense with more productive days to come -- so long as Kirk Cousins is under center for the Falcons and not rookie Michael Penix Jr. It's a situation to monitor, but for now Cousins' job is safe according to head coach Raheem Morris, so London should again be a borderline WR1 in Week 15 against the Raiders.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London had been one of the most consistent, higher-scoring wide receivers for fantasy in the early going of the season, but as Kirk Cousins has faded, so too has London. After recording five touchdown catches through the first seven games, the 23-year-old has just one TD over the last five games. On the bright side, the 6-foot-4 wideout still maintains a 27.1% target share, even drawing totals of 13 and 16 targets in two of the last three contests, resulting in an eight-catch and a nine-catch performance respectively. This week's opponent, the Minnesota Vikings, are one of the toughest teams to run on, so the Falcons could be forced to take to the air, even if they'd rather not given Cousins' recent struggles. Atlanta is a six-point underdog in this contest, and if they are also forced to play catch-up, it should work in London's favor. View the former first-round draft pick as a borderline WR1 this week who could get back into the end zone if his quarterback cleans up the turnover issues.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mac Jones had a solid statistical outing in a 32-25 loss to the New York Jets. The former Patriot hadn't thrown a touchdown in any of his previous three starts, but that changed this week with a first quarter and fourth quarter passing touchdown to rookie Brian Thomas Jr. Jones finished with 31 completions on 46 attempts with two passing touchdowns but two interceptions. Jones has been struggling with turnovers, but at least moved the offense pretty well, which to be fair is more of a big deal in real football than in fantasy football. Along with Thomas Jr., Jones heavily relied on backup tight end Brenton Strange, who caught 11 passes for 73 yards. Jones will look to continue improving in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mac Jones will likely match his Week 14 performance in Week 15 against the New York Jets. The Jets are similar to the Titans in that they haven't been good this year record-wise but have been good against the pass. Jones finished with 220 yards and zero passing touchdowns against the Titans, leading the Jaguars to just 10 points, all of which came in the fourth quarter. After an improved performance in Week 13 against the Houston Texans in the second half after Trevor Lawrence left with a concussion, Jones returned to his form from Weeks 10 and 11 in Week 14. Given Jones hasn't thrown a passing touchdown in his three starts, it's hard to imagine things will change against the Jets in Week 15.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mac Jones led the team to a 10-6 victory over the Tennessee Titans despite a mediocre performance. The former Patriot finished with 23 completions on 31 attempts for 220 yards, no touchdowns, and two interceptions. The Jaguars were able to move the ball decently well, but struggled to get in the end zone, producing just 10 points. All of their points came in the fourth quarter. Jones's top target was standout rookie Brian Thomas Jr., who had eight catches for 86 yards on 12 targets, 9 coming in the fourth quarter alone. After BTJ, the next best receiver was Travis Etienne Jr. with four catches for 50 yards. The Jaguars face the New York Jets in Week 15, where Jones will look to put the ball in the end zone instead of the defense's hands.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Sincere McCormick, who took the starting job from RB Alexander Mattison (ankle), who took Zamir White's (quad) starting job, who took over for Josh Jacobs, who left for greener fields (literally), is the guy you want to start in Week 15. McCormick. He's the guy. He's a lot more explosive than the other backs in his backfield. It's not necessarily a great matchup, so perhaps many fantasy managers have their hopes high. Teams prefer to pass against the Falcons since they have an awful secondary and aren't great at getting pressure on opposing quarterbacks. They've also had a productive offense for most of the season. McCormick's role is nice, though, and it necessitates consideration at RB2/RB3 slots for needy teams. He has a chance of being a key contributor down the stretch, and he's reasonably talented.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Sincere McCormick is the new starter in the backfield, even when Alexander Mattison (ankle) returns, according to head coach Antonio Pierce. "He deserves it," Pierce said. "He has run his tail off." The second-year back out of UTSA has rushed 32 times for 175 yards in four games this season. His 5.5 yards-per-carry average outpaces both Mattison and Zamir White (quadriceps) by over two full yards. While this is an exciting development for the young player, fantasy expectations should be tempered. Las Vegas has one of the worst offenses in the NFL, and McCormick's Week 15 matchup (Atlanta Falcons) has allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs. That said, he draws better matchups against the Jaguars and Saints in Weeks 16 and 17.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Sincere McCormick rushed for 78 yards on 15 carries during Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also caught two of his three targets for an additional 11 receiving yards. McCormick, officially signed to the active roster this week, played admirably while filling in for Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad). McCormick's efficiency and productivity also allowed him to operate as the Raiders' clear No. 1 running back over Ameer Abdullah. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor this backfield, as it's possible that McCormick remains the lead back even after Mattison and White return from their respective injuries. The 24-year-old should be treated as a solid RB3 option in fantasy football ahead of next week's battle with the Atlanta Falcons.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt had 13 carries for 45 yards and one catch for four yards in the 21-7 win over the Cleveland Browns. Hunt and Isiah Pacheco handled 14 touches out of the backfield, but Hunt finished with more total yards. After playing a secondary role in Week 14, Hunt was more featured in this week's contest against the Browns. Despite earning more opportunities, fantasy managers will have a tough time starting Hunt next week against the Houston Texans. The Texans rank third in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this season, making them one of the toughest matchups. If Hunt and Pacheco continue to split touches in a difficult matchup, it will be tough for either running back to have upside in next week's game. It should also be noted that Patrick Mahomes left this week's contest with an ankle injury and is considered questionable for next week. If Mahomes does not play, the ceiling for the Chiefs offense and offensive playmakers will be lowered. Hunt should be viewed as a deeper flex option.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has fallen off the radar ever since teammate Isiah Pacheco returned to the mix in Week 13. Over his last two games, Hunt has just 12 rushes for 31 yards on the ground, plus three catches for an additional 13 yards through the air. The veteran filled in admirably when Pacheco missed time with a fibula injury earlier in the year, but he's back now and should continue to see his role get bigger while Hunt's gets smaller. Moving forward, the 29-year-old should be viewed as a mid-to-low fantasy RB4. That ranking holds true this week against the Browns, who have allowed the third-fewest catches and receiving yards to opposing running backs in 2024, as well as the ninth-fewest fantasy points.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in Week 14. Hunt handled seven carries for 15 yards and two catches for four yards in last week's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 29-year-old evenly split the backfield carries with Isiah Pacheco, but the latter was the more explosive option. With another week to get back to game speed, it stands to reason that Pacheco will shift the backfield share more in his direction. Even if the split remains relatively even this week, Hunt will have his work cut out for him against the Chargers. The Chargers rank sixth in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this season, making them one of the most challenging matchups. Hunt is ranked RB30 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, putting him on the flex radar in a week with six teams on bye. Fantasy managers should try their best not to start Hunt this week.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman caught three of his five targets for 80 yards and two touchdowns during their victory over the New York Giants. Bateman exploded in the second quarter, catching a 49-yard touchdown pass and a 20-yard touchdown pass. His second score of the quarter eventually ended up serving as the game-winner. Bateman's 80 total yards paced all other Baltimore pass catchers, and five targets tied him for the second-most on the team, only behind Zay Flowers. This was a nice breakout showing for Bateman as he did not catch a pass in their previous game in Week 13 and has caught only four total passes since Week 11 coming into today's game. Bateman will look to stay hot facing a tough Pittsburgh Steelers secondary next weekend.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (knee) was removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the New York Giants. Bateman suffered a knee injury in Week 13, but it sounds like it was a minor issue as he's ready to go after the bye week. He has been practicing in full this week and looks fully healthy heading into Sunday's game. He'll be a boom-or-bust flex option heading into a plus-matchup against the Giants secondary.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (knee) was a full participant in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Bateman injured his knee in the Week 13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and had last week's bye to get his knee some extra treatment. After the week of rest and recovery, the 25-year-old pass-catcher looks good to return this weekend when the Ravens head to New York to face the Giants. The former 27th overall pick in 2021 out of Minnesota has seen more involvement this year and has 35 catches for a career-high 574 yards and a career-high five touchdowns on 55 targets in 13 games in 2024 as Baltimore's WR2 behind Zay Flowers. In a plus matchup against the Giants, Bateman should be on the fantasy map in Week 15 as a WR4/flex. Bateman enters the week as the WR42 in PPR formats.

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas caught each of his three targets for 11 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The 23-year-old was headed for a low-volume, low-yardage performance when Maye boosted his fantasy production by scrambling toward the goal line and shoveling the ball to Douglas for a three-yard touchdown. The Liberty product has struggled to command a significant target share over the last couple of weeks as Maye continues to spread the ball around to players like Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper, Kendrick Bourne, and Kayshon Boutte. As a result, Douglas will rank outside the top 36 fantasy receivers heading into Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills.

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas is back on the fantasy radar as a dependable WR3/FLEX option in Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals. Douglas caught four passes for just 20 yards in his last game, but he averaged a solid five catches and 51.5 yards in the four weeks prior to that. The second-year receiver typically operates out of the slot, making him a dependable safety valve for Drake Maye in short-yardage scenarios. Fortunately for Douglas, the Cardinals struggle to defend slot receivers, allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to the position. New England's 24-year-old pass catcher is a dependable WR3 option as the fantasy playoffs get underway this week.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington had a respectable performance in Sunday's 32-25 loss against the New York Jets. He hauled in three of his six targets for 54 yards. With Evan Engram (shoulder) sidelined, there was optimism that Washington would receive an increase in targets and workload heading into Week 15. There is room for improvement heading forward, as Brenton Strange and Brian Thomas Jr. had 26 targets combined. On the bright side, quarterback Mac Jones threw for 294 yards, and the Jaguars (3-11) will likely be in pass-heavy game scripts for the remainder of the year. This will allow plenty of targets and opportunities for Washington and the Jaguar receivers. Washington will be on the FLEX radar heading into Week 16 as the Jaguars travel to Las Vegas to take on the Raiders.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington should be capped statistically once again in Week 15 against the New York Jets. Washington had a standout performance in Week 13 against the Texans, but otherwise has not done much all season. In three starts, Mac Jones has struggled to lead the offense to points, throwing for zero passing touchdowns. There is a chance Washington has another solid PPR outing, but based on the circumstances and the matchup with the Jets secondary, it is more likely Washington continues to show Week 13 was a fluke. With Evan Engram out injured, there is a chance Washington is more involved, but more likely that just means Jones spreads the ball around even more, or targets standout rookie Brian Thomas Jr. more. Washington is tough to consider in lineups for the fantasy playoffs in Week 15.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington is expected to earn additional consideration for fantasy lineups in Week 15, but he's not the most dependable option after catching just two passes for 15 yards last Sunday. The 22-year-old turned heads across the league back in Week 13 with six catches, 103 yards, and one score, but he has come back down to earth since then and is no longer viewed as one of the top streaming WR3/FLEX options. Rather, he's the No. 2 pass-catching option in a struggling offense led by Mac Jones, which doesn't bode well for his fantasy value. To make matters worse, Washington is facing a New York Jets defense that has allowed the third-fewest catches, yards, and touchdowns to opposing wide receivers, as well as the fourth-fewest fantasy points. Managers should bench Washington and look elsewhere for their WR3/FLEX contributions in Week 15.

According to Greg Beacham of the Associated Press, Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) is expected to make his season debut in Week 16 against the New York Jets. Higbee has been able to return to practice but has yet to see action in a game. The veteran tight end suffered a torn ACL during last season's wild card match against the Detroit Lions. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progress during next week's practices but should expect him to return to the starting lineup. While he has been sidelined, Colby Parkinson has typically been operating as the No.1 tight end but has not shown much consistency. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should consider targeting Higbee on the waiver wire this weekend. He could be a viable TE1 in deeper 14+ team formats over the regular season's final weeks, playing on a potent Los Angeles offense.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) put in his second straight day with a full practice this week on Tuesday. Meanwhile, tight end Davis Allen (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant for the second straight day. It's the second straight week that Higbee has been a full participant in practice, leading us to believe that he'll be active for the first time in 2024 this Thursday night in a divisional clash against the San Francisco 49ers. The 31-year-old tore his ACL and MCL in the postseason last year. If Higbee is active on Thursday, we wouldn't recommend throwing him into your fantasy lineups right away, as he'll likely be on a snap count and share time with Colby Parkinson if Allen is unable to play this week. Higbee will be back with the Rams before the end of the season, but it's going to be hard to rely on him as anything more than a touchdown-dependent TE2 next to Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) was listed as a full participant during Monday's practice estimate. Higbee has been sidelined all season while recovering from ACL and MCL tears from January. It sounds like Higbee is doing better, but head coach Sean McVay said the team doesn't want to rush anything. That being said, it seems unlikely that Higbee will be activated in time for Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. The Rams still have over a week left on his 21-day window before having to activate Higbee or shut him down for the season. If he plays, Higbee would unlikely have a big role on offense and wouldn't be a recommended fantasy option.
