DeAndre Hopkins caught seven passes for 91 yards in Sunday’s win over the Browns.

Hopkins saw a team-high 12 targets, but Houston didn’t need to throw much as they led 23-0 at the half. Already the owner of an 80/1,115/8 line on the season, Hopkins will have a chance to boost his numbers next week in a big AFC South battle against the Colts, who he hung 169 yards and a score against earlier this year. Deshaun Watson’s favorite target should remain an excellent WR1 the rest of the way.

Rob Gronkowski catches three passes against the Vikings.

Gronkowski gained 26 yards on his three Week 13 receptions, as Minnesota did a nice job of not letting him beat them in a game Tom Brady spread the ball around to nine different receivers. Gronkowski took a big hit from Viking safety Harrison Smith in the leg area and was limping around, but it appeared to be a “dead leg” that didn’t limit his playing time moving forward. This was a disappointing statistical showing for Gronk, but he’ll look to be a big difference-maker for his team and for fantasy owners in the important final four weeks of the season.

T.J. Yeldon leads the Jaguars in Week 13 receiving.

Yeldon carried eight times for 16 yards and caught seven passes (on eight targets) for 49 yards, leading Jacksonville in targets, receptions, and receiving yards. Cody Kessler has no issue taking the check-down if that’s what the defense gives him, so we’ll see if Yeldon continues getting several targets per week with him under-center. Remember, workhorse Leonard Fournette was suspended for this game and returns on Thursday night.

Josh Gordon scores against the Vikings.

Gordon caught three passes for 58 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots’ Week 13 victory. The former All-Pro was quiet without a reception for the entire first half, but he turned it on in the third quarter with a drive bookended by 24-yard receptions, with the second going for a touchdown on a deep dig route. Gordon also drew a pass interference call in the game. The talented receiver isn’t putting up monster numbers, but he appears to have fully bought in and is a key part of New England’s offense. He might see a lot of Xavien Howard next week, but he’s still at least in the FLEX mix in fantasy lineups for Week 14.

Carlos Hyde gets 14 touches against the Colts.

With Leonard Fournette suspended, Hyde worked as the lead ball-carrier for the Jaguars, rushing 13 times for 36 yards along with one reception for one yard. He also lost a fumble in the Week 13 victory. With Fournette coming back from suspension, Hyde isn’t a recommended fantasy option this Thursday night.

Richie James loses fumble in loss to the Seahawks.

James didn’t catch either of his targets, but he turned it over on a punt return in a 43-16 defeat. The rookie isn’t on the fantasy radar in redraft leagues.

Alfred Blue handles 13 carries in win over the Browns.

Blue rushed 13 times for 54 yards, as he continues to be involved behind Lamar Miller in a run-heavy approach for Houston. The LSU product doesn’t have a ton of upside and hasn’t scored since the opener, but he warrants consideration in deeper leagues for the fantasy playoffs.
