Doug Martin scores against the Chiefs.

Martin carried 18 times for 61 yards and a touchdown along with two carries for six yards and a lost fumble. All of Oakland’s running backs lost fumbles in the game, and it didn’t affect Martin’s playing time at all. The rushing score came at the goal line, and it was his second goal-line touchdown in as many weeks. This was also a season-high in carries for the veteran running back, and Jon Gruden might commit to running him more again next week to take pressure off the passing attack when they face Pittsburgh’s great pass rush. Martin is a FLEX option in the first week of fantasy playoff matchups.

Alex Erickson gets one offensive touch in Week 13.

Erickson had one carry for no yards against the Broncos. He also lost a fumble on a punt return. Erickson is not a fantasy option at the moment.

Ian Thomas caught five passes for 46 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Bucs.

Thomas was able to bring in all five of his looks in relief of Greg Olsen (foot), and the rookie will start the rest of the way for Carolina. He is worth considering as a streamer in a good spot against the Browns in Week 14, and extended playing time should hopefully give him confidence in 2019 and beyond for dynasty owners.

Tarik Cohen does it all in Week 13.

Cohen carried eight times for 30 yards, caught 12 passes for 156 yards, and threw a one-yard touchdown in the Bears’ loss to the Giants. The dynamic second-year running back was a terror for the Giants throughout the game, picking up chunk yardage and making chunk plays in an eventual loss. The touchdown was on a “Philly Special” type of play with a wrinkle thrown in, as Cohen hit Anthony Miller on a crossing route instead of hitting the quarterback. The touchdown toss made Cohen the shortest player in NFL history to throw a touchdown. Next week, Cohen has a tough task facing a Rams defense looking to shut him down, but “The Human Joystick” obviously offers solid upside in Week 14 fantasy lineups.

Jordan Leggett caught two passes for 18 yards in Sunday’s loss to Tennessee.

Leggett actually ended up third on the team in receiving with Josh McCown throwing for just 128 yards, but no one is really worth strongly considering on New York’s offense right now. Perhaps Sam Darnold (foot) can provide a boost if he returns next week, but Leggett isn’t a recommended fantasy option.

John Ross catches two passes in Week 13.

Ross gained 13 yards on his two receptions versus the Broncos, and he also had one carry for two yards. The explosive second-year receiver isn’t a recommended fantasy option in standard-sized leagues at the moment.

Ryan Tannehill throws three touchdowns in Dolphins’ win.

Tannehill was 16/24 for 137 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception versus the Bills. The offense didn’t move the ball well against Buffalo, but Tannehill capitalized on opportunities with three red-zone scores—one to DeVante Parker, one to Kenyan Drake, and one to Kenny Stills. Ideally, you’ll have a stronger QB1 option for your fantasy lineups in the first week of fantasy playoff matchups. Tannehill faces the Patriots in Week 14.
