Maxx Williams scores in Week 14.

Williams caught a pass in the flat for a ten-yard touchdown on his lone reception against the Chiefs. It was the only reception by a Ravens tight end in the game, but Williams is not a recommended fantasy option right now.

Sammy Watkins (foot) is officially inactive for Week 14.

Watkins was listed as doubtful, and this was fully expected. The explosive receiver is week-to-week with his foot injury after an aggravation during practice, and he’ll probably have trouble playing on a short week this Thursday night.

John Brown scores in Ravens’ loss.

Brown caught two passes (on six targets) for 23 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs, with the score coming on a crossing route to put the Ravens up in the fourth quarter of the eventual overtime loss. The score helped deliver solid fantasy value for the first week of the fantasy playoffs, and Brown has a good matchup against the Bucs next week, but he’d only be a recommended fantasy option if Joe Flacco reassumes the starting role in Baltimore.

Joe Flacco (right hip) is officially inactive for Week 14.

Flacco was expected to play after he was a full participant in practice on Friday, but Ravens head coach John Harbaugh did say his quarterback was yet to gain full clearance to play on gameday. Presumably the team is playing it safe with Flacco, but perhaps they are just opting to go with Robert Griffin III (who has more of a similar skillset to Lamar Jackson) as the backup today against the Chiefs.

Michael Crabtree catches three passes in Week 14.

Crabtree gained 31 yards on his three receptions (four targets) against the Chiefs. He was also notably called for offensive pass interference on a call he and his team were not happy about. Crabtree hasn’t had over 36 yards receiving since Week 7, and he’s difficult to trust in fantasy lineups right now.

T.Y. Hilton (shoulder) will play today against the Texans.

Colts head coach Frank Reich told this to NFL Network’s James Palmer, so the speedy receiver will be active when the official actives/inactives are released at 11:30 AM ET. Hilton was listed as questionable coming into the weekend, but there wasn’t much doubt he’d play in a huge matchup against the Texans. You can safely insert Hilton into fantasy lineups as a very good option against a team he’s had a lot of success against for the first week of the fantasy playoffs.

Willie Snead IV leads the Ravens in Week 14 receiving.

Snead caught five passes on seven targets for 61 yards against the Chiefs. After combining for just one reception for eight yards the past two weeks, it was good to see Snead get back on track for his highest receiving total in Lamar Jackson’s four games under-center for the Ravens. Snead will be difficult to trust in the second week of the fantasy playoffs, though.
