What You Need to Know From Week 14

GB @ DET

• The Packers offense was able to stand toe-to-toe and trade punches with the Lions, but it was a quiet fantasy night for Jordan Love, who remained a low-volume passer. Josh Jacobs scored three times on the ground to lower Love's ceiling as the Packers continue to have a penchant for running in goal-to-go situations.
• Jayden Reed posted a goose egg as he has been one of the purest boom/bust wide receiver plays this year. The booms are big, but the busts are more frequent. The Packers have said things to indicate that he might be more involved against Seattle, so he's probably still a WR3/Flex consideration in the fantasy playoffs.
• Christian Watson had a big game and should be considered a similar boom/bust WR3/Flex proposition against Seattle.
• Tucker Kraft led the team in catches and has been a consistent TE1 since Luke Musgrave went on injured reserve in Week 5. He deserves to be in playoff lineups unless you have a clear top-five option.
• The Lions offense resumed scoring at the level that put them ahead of the rest of the league after two weeks of looking like a merely good unit. That made Jared Goff a solid play again in a more pass-heavy game plan than in recent weeks. He should be a strong consideration in Week 15 against a Buffalo defense that Josh Allen just lit up for six scores.
• Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Sam LaPorta weren't busts, but they didn't have ceiling games because Tim Patrick scored twice. Patrick should be added from the waiver wire and is a WR3/Flex consideration this week.

CLE @ PIT

• Jameis Winston is proving to be a high-floor/high-ceiling play because of his garbage-time production when he is contained for most of the game as the Steelers did in this game. He's a streaming QB1 consideration against the Chiefs in Week 15.
• Jerome Ford out-snapped Nick Chubb in a losing game script for the second straight week. Expect the same against Kansas City this week. Both are not promising what-the-heck flex plays.
• Jerry Jeudy and David Njoku both scored and should be in Week 15 lineups. Njoku is a top-five tight end for the fantasy playoffs, and Jeudy is a high-ceiling WR3/Flex.
• Russell Wilson cooled off as a fantasy quarterback without George Pickens. Pickens is also likely to be out in Week 15 against a tough Philadelphia defense, so Wilson is not a preferred streamer.
• Pat Freiermuth scored again and should be considered a low-end TE1 for Week 15 with Pickens likely out.
• Najee Harris scored but didn't catch a pass. Jaylen Warren did more, and Cordarelle Patterson was quiet on a day that he fumbled. Harris is a low-ceiling RB2 against the Eagles, and Warren is more of a desperation play than a what-the-heck flex in what should be a defensive battle.

NO @ NYG

• Derek Carr went out with a fractured hand and will likely miss the rest of the season. It's not clear if Jake Haener or Spencer Rattler will start, but the Saints pass offense is basically off limits for fantasy either way. Haener is the better pickup in 2QB/Superflex since he was the backup in Week 14 until we hear more about who will start against Washington, who is obviously a preferred D/ST for Week 15.
• Juwan Johnson scored and was one of the leading receivers as a tight end, but the loss of Carr hurts his appeal as a streamer in the playoffs. 
• Kendre Miller scored and looked like a runner with something to offer in the future, but he wasn't efficient in a so-so situation that is getting worse. He's only an Alvin Kamara injury insurance bench stash and not a preferred injury upside backup.
• Drew Lock was terrible as a passer. When projecting the Giants' pass offense, it doesn't matter whether he or Tommy DeVito starts in Week 15 against Baltimore.
• Malik Nabers played despite hurting his hip during the week and posted a good enough result to keep him in lineups as a WR3/Flex against the Ravens.
• Tyrone Tracy Jr. got a lead-back workload, including in the passing game, and he scored. He's a solid RB2/Flex play in Week 15 despite a tough matchup.

NYJ @ MIA

• Aaron Rodgers had his first 300+ yard game of the season and should be considered a high-floor streamer for Week 15 against Jacksonville. He is playing well enough to make Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams borderline WR1 plays.
• Isaiah Davis and Braelon Allen split the backfield almost equally with Breece Hall sitting. For the second straight week, Davis was the one that scored. Both are what-the-heck flex plays if Hall sits again in Week 15, with Davis the preferred option.
• Tua Tagovailoa is warming up as a passer and should be considered a boom/bust streamer against Houston. His offensive tackles are hurt and the Texans defensive end combination is one of the best in the league, but Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are loosening up defenses and looking like the dangerous duo we expected when we drafted them highly during the summer.
• Jaylen Wright and Jeff Wilson Jr. split work behind De'Von Achane with Raheem Mostert out. There's no injury upside backup to roster behind Achane.
• Jonnu Smith didn't catch a pass in regulation but caught three balls, including the game-winning score, in overtime. He's still a solid TE1 and in Week 15 lineups unless you have a top-five option.

JAX @ TEN

• Mac Jones reverted to being one of the bottom-half backup quarterbacks (if that), but at least got the ball a lot to Brian Thomas Jr. in the second half. Thomas should be in as at least a WR3/Flex against the Jets, but Jones is just a desperation play in 2QB/Superflex after a glimmer of hope of relevance in the second half of Week 13.
• Tank Bigsby was the lead back in the running game and scored the game's only touchdown. He's an RB2/Flex play against the Jets, while Travis Etienne Jr. did enough as a receiver to be in what-the-heck flex consideration in Week 15.
• Evan Engram remains a high-floor/low-ceiling option better suited for PPR leagues in Week 15.
• Will Levis continues to show that he's not the answer at quarterback for the Titans, and his appeal to 2QB/Superflex players continues to diminish heading into a plus matchup against the Bengals. He's probably just a desperation play, and you might want to break ties against Calvin Ridley despite the quality matchup.
• Tony Pollard is running with a lot of heart and still deserves an RB2 spot in Week 15 lineups. Tyjae Spears' return is no threat to his workload.
• Nick Westbrook-Ikhine had a potential game-winning score glance off of his hands. He was a bust and is back to desperation play status against the Bengals.

ATL @ MIN

• Kirk Cousins got the downfield passing game going again to Darnell Mooney, but he was a fantasy bust despite going over 300 yards because of two interceptions and the running backs accounting for the two offensive touchdowns. Cousins isn't in streaming consideration despite the good matchup against the Raiders, and the talk for him to be replaced by Michael Penix Jr. could reach a peak if he loses to Las Vegas. Mooney, however, is back to being a high-ceiling WR3/Flex who should be in Week 15 lineups.
• Ray-Ray McCloud III had his second good week in a row and appears to be prominent in Cousins' progressions. He's a what-the-heck flex against the Raiders.
• Tyler Allgeier scored and returned to his impressive midseason form on his touches. He's a desperation flex, but he looks like one of the most important injury-upside backups on the roster again.
• Kyle Pitts only caught one pass and isn't worth rostering unless Penix is installed as the starter in the next week or two, maybe not even then.
• Sam Darnold was nearly flawless against a resurgent Falcons pass rush. He's a solid QB1 option against the sleepy Bears defense in Week 15.
• Jordan Addison was lethal as a downfield option and got open in the red zone with ease. He was one of the biggest plays of Week 14 and is a must-start in Week 15. Justin Jefferson also had a huge game, even with Addison going off.
• T.J. Hockenson wasn't a bust and could still be a good Week 15 after George Kittle ran free often through the Bears defense last week. But Hockenson isn't an automatic Week 15 play.
