Demarcus Robinson scores in loss to the Chargers.

It was a five-yard touchdown on the team’s opening possession as Patrick Mahomes made another highlight play, and Robinson finished with two receptions for seven yards. Fantasy owners are probably better off looking elsewhere as Kelvin Benjamin gains familiarity in the offense.

Alex Erickson rushes for 14 yards in Week 14 loss.

Erickson wasn’t targeted, but he received a carry to go along with his normal return duties. He isn’t on the fantasy radar.

Kelvin Benjamin makes Chiefs debut in TNF loss.

Benjamin was targeted twice and caught one pass for 17 yards, which could have been a touchdown if he was able to keep his balance on the sideline. The former first-round pick could become a factor in the fantasy championship with Patrick Mahomes confident enough in his arm strength and ball placement to give him a chance in one-on-one situations, but he won’t be much more than a weak FLEX in Week 16.

Joe Mixon handles 31 touches as Bengals nearly upset the Chargers.

Mixon rushed 26 times for 111 yards and one touchdown, also adding five receptions (on six targets) for 27 yards. The workload was what fantasy owners have been waiting for in the second half of the season, and it came at the perfect time with fantasy playoffs underway. The second-year back consistently picked up tough yardage to keep Cincinnati in the game, and his one-yard score in the fourth quarter made it a 23-21 game before Los Angeles hit a field goal and held on. Mixon has now cleared 82 rushing yards in each of the past three games, and he needs to be in all lineups as a high-floor RB1 for Week 15 against the Raiders.

Chris Conley caught two passes for 19 yards in Thursday night’s loss to the Chargers.

Conley picked up a 16-yard gain and then was tackled close to the goal line on a three-yard grab, but he was mostly quiet as the Kansas City passing attack stalled. Kelvin Benjamin could eat into the Georgia product’s snaps more in Week 16.

Kyle Juszczyk catches two passes against the Broncos.

Juszczyk gained 21 yards on his two Week 14 receptions. He’s not a highly-recommended fantasy option outside of very deep PPR leagues.

Travis Kelce contained in loss to the Chargers.

Kelce caught seven passes for 61 yards, but he is still without a touchdown in ten career games against Los Angeles, who has given him more trouble than anyone. The All-Pro tight end carries a career-best 93/1,220/10 line into the fantasy championship. Consider him a high-end TE1 in Seattle next Sunday night.
