Golden Tate catches all five targets in Week 15.

Tate gained 43 yards on his five receptions against the Rams, mostly working as an underneath target for Nick Foles. The veteran receiver has crossed 50 yards receiving just once as an Eagle, so he’s difficult to trust in lineups for fantasy title games. However, the Texans aren’t a bad matchup next Sunday.

Tyler Conklin leads the Vikings in Week 15 receiving.

Conklin caught two passes for 53 yards against the Dolphins, with his receptions going for 33 and 20 yards. Conklin isn’t a recommended fantasy option, but it’s good to see him do some damage through the air.

Justin Davis handles one carry in Week 15 loss.

It went for no gain. Davis is only worth keeping tabs on in case Todd Gurley (knee) misses time, but he would probably form a timeshare with John Kelly. The Rams take on the Cardinals next Sunday.

Stefon Diggs scores against the Dolphins.

Diggs caught four passes for 49 yards and a touchdown along with one carry for nine yards in the Vikings’ Week 15 victory. The score came on an eight-yard corner route where he was wide-open after a play-action fake. A lower volume passing attack under new offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski could cause issues for his value, but Diggs remains a strong option entering fantasy finals.

Alshon Jeffery goes off against the Rams.

Jeffery caught all eight targets in the Eagles’ Week 15 victory, gaining a season-high 150 yards on his eight receptions. He had to contend with Rams cornerback Aqib Talib throughout the night, but Nick Foles gave him opportunities to make plays even if he was well covered; Jeffery ensured he didn’t regret it by making play after play in the big win. Jeffery’s long reception in the game was a 50-yarder when he and Nelson Agholor were somehow wide-open behind a defense that fell asleep. As expected, Foles’ presence under-center is a big boost to Jeffery’s fantasy value, and he has major upside next week against a Texans secondary with some smaller players. Jeffery looks like a strong option for fantasy finals.

Latavius Murray scores in Vikings’ win.

Murray carried 15 times for 68 yards and a touchdown in the Week 15 blowout win against the Dolphins. New offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski showed an immediate strong commitment to the run, giving Dalvin Cook 19 carries in addition to Murray’s 15. The score came during Minnesota’s 21-point first quarter, as he received great blocking and threw one stiff arm to spring the 18-yarder. This was just one game, but Murray looks like he could be getting double-digit carries the final two games of the season. He’s in the FLEX mix for fantasy championships.

John Kelly rushed twice for four yards in Week 15 loss.

The touches were the first of Kelly’s career, as he saw playing time in the second half with Todd Gurley (knee) getting some series off. The rookie can stay on the waiver wire barring a surprise absence from Gurley in Week 16.
