Mike Davis handles four touches in win over the 49ers.

Davis rushed four times for ten yards and wasn’t targeted in the passing game. The backfield looks to have cleared up with Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny operated as the clear 1A and 1B options, so Davis probably needs an injury to become a significant fantasy contributor down the stretch. Seattle takes on Minnesota next Monday night.

Demaryius Thomas caught three passes for 32 yards in win over the Browns.

It was a quiet day for Thomas, who was targeted five times as Houston played ahead. DT has caught just ten passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns in four games as a Texan, so he’s not yet lived up to WR2 expectations that optimists might have had for him in a new offense. The Colts are a great matchup next week, but Thomas will be a low-floor FLEX option to start the fantasy playoffs.

Rashard Penny rushed seven times for 65 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s win over the 49ers.

Penny didn’t see a target in the passing game, but he was able to find the end zone from 20 yards away to start the third quarter of an eventual 43-16 victory. Despite a quiet game in Week 12, Seattle’s first-round pick has seemed to have established himself as the 1B to Chris Carson’s 1A, and that should warrant weekly FLEX consideration down the stretch. That said, Monday night against Minnesota will be a tough matchup, so fantasy owners might want to look elsewhere for the start of the fantasy playoffs.

Donte Moncrief catches three passes in Jaguars’ win.

Moncrief gained 40 yards on his three receptions against the Colts. Moncrief has breakout potential every week, but he’s not a recommended fantasy option this Thursday night against a Titans team he had negative fantasy points against earlier this season.

Russell Wilson, Seahawks blow out the Niners, 43-16.

Wilson was 11/17 for 185 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions, also adding four carries for 14 yards. Most of the damage was done in the first half on Sunday, as Wilson needed just four completions to throw for three touchdowns to Jaron Brown (four yards), Tyler Lockett (52 yards), and Doug Baldwin (one yard) before finishing things off with another score to Brown from 18 yards away in the second half. Seattle now sits at 7-5, and Wilson should be getting some MVP consideration with a 29:5 touchdown-interception ratio in a season that many thought Seattle wouldn’t compete in. At home again on Monday night, Wilson has a backend QB1 case despite a matchup against the Vikings.

Dede Westbrook catches three passes against the Colts.

Westbrook gained 25 yards on his three Week 13 receptions, and he also had one carry for -1 yard. The second-year receiver is not a highly-recommended fantasy option next week against the Titans, and he probably gets downgraded without Blake Bortles at quarterback. Bortles likes throwing to Westbrook, especially in key situations.

Chris Hogan catches two passes in Patriots’ win.

Hogan gained 20 yards on his two receptions against the Vikings, getting involved early with a key 18-yard reception. Hogan’s role simply isn’t big enough for consistent fantasy value with Josh Gordon in the mix, but he’s a team player that will step up when called upon.
