Brandin Cooks caught four passes for 62 yards in Sunday’s win over the Lions.

It was a somewhat quiet day for Cooks, who was the intended receiver on Jared Goff’s interception on a misfired deep ball. The dynamic speedster should be able to have a bigger game next Sunday night against the Bears, and he remains a high-upside WR1/WR2 that’s provided a solid floor for fantasy owners in Los Angeles.

Damien Williams gets seven touches against the Raiders.

Williams carried five times for 38 yards and caught two passes for seven yards while working behind new Chiefs starter Spencer Ware with Kareem Hunt now off the team. Williams ran the ball well, and we’ve always liked his ability, so he’s certainly someone to keep an eye on. Ware is fully expected to lead the backfield, but Williams could eat into the workload and make it more of an even split over the final four games of the season.

Austin Hooper scores in Week 13.

Hooper caught five passes (on five targets) for 44 yards and a touchdown against the Ravens. He was the only Falcons player to deliver solid fantasy value on a day Baltimore’s defense shut down Atlanta. Hooper will remain in the TE1 mix next week against the Packers.

LeSean McCoy gets 19 touches against the Dolphins.

McCoy carried 15 times for 52 yards and caught four passes for 12 yards in the Bills’ Week 13 loss. In standard-scoring leagues, McCoy has hit double-digit fantasy points just twice this season, but next up he gets a Jets team he had one of those games with a 26/113/2 performance in Week 10. McCoy is at least a FLEX option for the first week of fantasy playoffs.

Malcolm Brown handles two touches win over the Lions.

Brown rushed twice for eight yards. The talented backup broke a couple tackles on one of his runs, but he is just a premium handcuff to Todd Gurley for the fantasy playoffs.

Spencer Ware scores in first start of the season.

With Kareem Hunt now out of Kansas City, Spencer Ware started at running back for the Chiefs as expected and played well. He ran 14 times for 47 yards and a touchdown along with one reception for five yards. The score came at the goal line on a direct snap to Ware from a wildcat formation. Damien Williams (five carries for 38 yards) was also involved and played well, but Ware is fully expected to lead the backfield over the final four games of the season. Next week against Baltimore is a very difficult matchup to open the fantasy playoffs, but Ware is still an RB2 option while playing in one of the league’s best offenses.

Tevin Coleman gets seven touches in Week 13.

Coleman carried six times for eight yards and caught one pass for three yards against the Ravens. Like mostly everyone on Atlanta’s offense, Baltimore shut him down. The dynamic running back will look to do damage with more room to run next week against the Packers. This just wasn’t a good showing for the Falcons offensively.
