Julian Edelman scores in Patriots’ loss.

Edelman caught nine passes for 86 yards and a touchdown in the Week 14 loss to the Dolphins. The score came in the second quarter on a short zig route, and it was a record-breaker for Tom Brady, who became the NFL’s all-time leader in passing touchdowns (including playoffs). For Edelman, this was a strong bounce back after he was held to 25 receiving yards against Minnesota last week, and he’ll be a high-floor option for the second week of the fantasy playoffs when New England faces Pittsburgh.

Tyler Lockett caught five passes for 42 yards in Monday night’s win over Minnesota.

He also rushed twice for a loss of three yards. The Seahawks didn’t get much from their wideouts on a night where Russell Wilson completed just ten passes for 72 yards, so Lockett probably did well to put up the modest numbers he did. The 26-year-old will look to get behind the defense again next week against the 49ers, but he is better viewed as a FLEX than WR2.

Jordan Thomas caught four passes for 31 yards in Sunday’s loss to Indy.

Thomas brought in all of his targets in Week 14, but so did fellow tight ends Ryan Griffin (5/80) and Jordan Akins (2/40). All three will be difficult to trust for a Saturday game against the Jets next week.

Keke Coutee (hamstring) remains limited in practice.

Coutee will likely remain a limited participant tomorrow before being listed as questionable for Saturday’s matchup with the Jets, but we’ll update you when his official Week 15 status is released.

Josh Gordon nears 100 yards in Week 14.

Gordon caught five passes (on eight targets) for 96 yards against the Dolphins. The former All-Pro had the benefit of not having to face Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard, who was out with a knee injury, but it was a good all-around showing for him. Gordon will look to keep it going in a huge AFC matchup with the Steelers next week. He should obviously remain in lineups for the second week of the fantasy playoffs.

Stefon Diggs leads the Vikings in Week 14 receiving.

Diggs caught four passes for 76 yards along with one carry for five yards in Minnesota’s Monday night loss on the road to Seattle. The highlight of the game for Diggs, and perhaps the Vikings offense overall, was on a nice 48-yard reception where he leaped up and caught the ball in tight coverage on a go route—though it might have been a touchdown if Kirk Cousins didn’t underthrow it. Next up, Diggs faces the Dolphins, who are likely to still be without top cornerback Xavien Howard (knee); Diggs will remain a solid fantasy option for the second week of the fantasy playoffs.

DeAndre Hopkins scores in loss to the Colts.

Hopkins caught four passes for 36 yards, including a seven-yard touchdown on the team’s final offensive possession. Overall, the Colts did an excellent job containing Houston’s top playmaker, but Hopkins has slowed down in good matchups over the past few weeks. We’ll see if the 26-year-old can get back on track next Saturday against the Jets. Keep him in lineups as a solid WR1.
