Jared Cook leads the Raiders in Week 14 receiving.

Cook caught seven passes (on ten targets) for 116 yards against the Steelers, including a long of 30 yards. Oakland threw a couple of touchdowns to their tight ends, but they went to Derek Carrier and Lee Smith on plays where they probably weren’t getting much attention from the defense compared to Cook. The veteran tight end has now hit 100 yards in consecutive games and for the fourth time this season; he’ll be one of the better TE options for the second week of the fantasy playoffs next week against Cincinnati.

James Conner (ankle) has been downgraded to doubtful for Week 15.

The Steelers appear to be playing things straight up instead of trying to get an edge over the Patriots by keeping their second-year running back listed as questionable heading into tomorrow. Perhaps Conner will make a strong push to play, but he’ll likely be ruled out with Jaylen Samuels and Stevan Ridley leading the backfield for the second straight week. Conner’s official Week 15 status will be known by 3:00 PM ET tomorrow.

Jalen Richard gets nine touches in Week 14.

Richard carried eight times for 24 yards along with one reception for five yards against the Steelers. Next week against the Bengals is a great matchup for Richard, so he’s a stronger PPR FLEX option for the second week of the fantasy playoffs.

Elijah McGuire (ankle) is officially active for Week 15.

There was some confusion about whether or not McGuire was actually listed as questionable for today’s game, but nevertheless he’s out there against the Texans. With Isaiah Crowell on injured reserve, McGuire could be set for a heavy workload after he got 20 touches last week. However, the Texans present a tough challenge up-front, making McGuire just a volume-dependent FLEX that might need a touchdown to deliver strong fantasy value in the second week of the playoffs.

Derek Watt catches two-yard pass in win over the Bengals.

It was his only touch of the game. Watt isn’t a recommended fantasy option as LA’s fullback.

Carson Wentz (back) has officially been ruled out for Week 15.

Despite Eagles head coach Doug Pederson saying he would travel with the team, Wentz presumably isn’t making the trip to Los Angeles, hence him being ruled out—or there could be more clarity on his injury and that he should not play through it. Either way, it’ll officially be Nick Foles under-center in tomorrow night’s primetime matchup against the Rams. Foles is immediately in the QB2 mix, and his presence in the lineup is arguably an upgrade for Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor, as he’s shown he is not afraid to give his receivers opportunities to make plays for him. Wentz probably won’t be back this season, but we’ll see what happens.

Doug Martin scores in Raiders’ win.

Martin carried 16 times for 32 yards and a touchdown against the Steelers. Pittsburgh did a nice job of limiting Martin overall, but the former All-Pro was able to punch in another goal-line carry, making it three straight weeks with a touchdown. Martin is at least in the FLEX mix for the second week of the fantasy playoffs in a great Week 15 matchup with the Bengals.
