Kenneth Dixon gets nine touches return to the field.

Dixon carried eight times for 37 yards and added one reception for six yards against the Falcons. The team was clearly excited to get him back after he missed the last ten games while on injured reserve with a knee injury, and he received a good number of touches in his first game back. Gus Edwards is the running back to own in Baltimore’s backfield, but Dixon appears to have immediately taken the No. 2 role.

Adam Humphries finds the end zone in Week 13 win.

Humphries caught seven passes for 61 yards, including a three-yard score on the game’s opening possession. The 25-year-old ended up leading the team in targets, and he has now scored five touchdowns over the past five games. Whether or not DeSean Jackson (thumbs) returns next week, Humphries will be worth considering in all formats as a FLEX option against the Saints.

Gus Edwards gets 21 carries against the Falcons.

Edwards gained 82 yards on his 21 attempts versus Atlanta, as he continued to work as a strong inside runner that picked up positive yardage by getting up the field. The undrafted rookie running back didn’t appear limited by the ankle injury he had coming into the game, and he now has 61 carries in the last three games. He’ll be a stronger fantasy option with Lamar Jackson under-center, but Edwards should be in the RB2 mix next week against the Chiefs.

Jamaal Williams gets 11 touches against the Cardinals.

Williams carried seven times for 13 yards and caught four passes for 14 yards in the Packers’ Week 13 loss. Perhaps Joe Philbin taking over as the team’s interim head coach with Mike McCarthy fired will lead to more touches for Williams, but it’ll likely lead to more touches for Aaron Jones if anything. Williams is difficult to trust in Week 14 fantasy lineups.

Robert Griffin III gets time in Week 13.

Lamar Jackson left briefly to be looked at for a concussion, and RGIII went 2/4 for 21 yards. The former No. 2 pick would probably play well if given an opportunity, but he’s obviously not a fantasy option right now.

Chris Godwin goes over 100 yards in win over Carolina.

Godwin caught five passes for 101 yards and a touchdown, which came from 13 yards away at the end of the first half. Overall, it was another efficient day for the Penn State product, who caught all but one of his six targets, and he took full advantage of extended playing time with DeSean Jackson (thumb) out. Godwin isn’t the fantasy option that he should be based on talent, but hopefully Tampa Bay realizes that he should be featured down the stretch. Consider the second-year wideout a quality FLEX in Week 14 against New Orleans.

Lamar Jackson rushed for touchdown in Ravens’ Week 13 win.

Jackson didn’t have a great day throwing the ball, but he mostly avoided mistakes and improved to 3-0 as a starter while helping his team pick up a big win in Atlanta. The rookie quarterback was 12/21 for 125 yards along with 17 carries for 75 yards and a touchdown and one fumble lost. He left briefly to be looked at for a concussion but is thankfully OK. The touchdown was a 13-yarder on a speed option where Jackson brushed off a couple of would-be tacklers on his way to the end zone. The former Heisman winner again missed some throws including one to John Brown for a potential touchdown on a deep ball, but he’s doing enough to help his team win. It’ll be interesting to see if the Ravens go back to Joe Flacco, who is getting healthier and might be ready to play in Week 14 against the Chiefs. Flacco clearly gives Baltimore an advantage as a passer, but Jackson’s running ability is tough on opposing defenses. Jackson would remain in the QB1 mix if he remains the starter next week.
