Jeff Wilson rushed seven times for 46 yards in Sunday’s win over the Seahawks.

Wilson also lost a fumble, but the 49ers stuck with him late into the contest, and he helped set up the game-winning field goal in overtime. The rookie should continue splitting touches with Matt Breida next week, but fantasy owners should look elsewhere if possible as Chicago’s stout defense comes to San Francisco.

Randall Cobb catches three passes against the Bears.

Cobb was targeted seven times in the Week 15 loss, but Chicago did a good job of limiting the “Bear-killer”, allowing just 30 yards on his three receptions. Cobb’s best opportunity to do damage was on a pass to the end zone that was nicely covered, though he might have had a better chance at coming down with it if the pass was higher for him to go up for. Late in the game, Cobb left to be evaluated for a concussion, but hopefully he’s feeling OK.

James Develin catches two passes in Week 15.

Develin gained 18 yards on his two receptions versus Pittsburgh. The Patriots fullback continues to get touches in addition to his work as a lead blocker, but he’s obviously difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Jimmy Graham catches three passes against the Bears.

Graham gained 32 yards on his three receptions in the Packers’ Week 15 loss. He was targeted in the red zone on a throw at the front of the end zone, but it was slightly behind him and deflected by rookie linebacker Roquan Smith for an interception. Things just haven’t clicked the way they were expected to between Aaron Rodgers and Graham this season, but the big tight end will look to find the end zone in fantasy finals next week against the Jets.

Matt Breida handles 22 touches in return to the lineup.

Breida rushed 17 times for 50 yards, also adding five receptions for 46 yards. The rushing numbers don’t look great, but Breida again ran well and tied his season-high for attempts. It was good to see the 23-year-old operate as the clear lead back, but he should remain more of a FLEX than low-end RB2 for Week 16 as the tough Chicago defense comes to town.

Davante Adams goes over 100 yards in Week 15.

Adams caught eight passes (on 13 targets) for 119 yards, with a long of 28 yards, against the Bears. Adams’ streak of three straight games with a touchdown came to an end, but he put up his fifth 100-yard game of the season in a tough matchup in the second week of the fantasy playoffs. He also hit the 100-reception mark for the season while building on his career-high in yardage with now over 1,300. Many fantasy owners with Adams will be playing in fantasy championships next week.

Josh Gordon catches one pass against the Steelers.

Gordon gained 19 yards on his lone reception in the Patriots’ Week 15 loss. He also had a drop on a would-be first down, so this simply wasn’t a great game for the former All-Pro—though Pittsburgh did a good job of limiting New England’s entire offense. Gordon will attempt to bounce back in the first week of fantasy championships next Sunday when he faces the Bills, but he’ll have to contend with tough second-year cornerback Tre’Davious White, who held Gordon to 42 yards in their first matchup of the season.
