Tommy Bohanan scores twice in Week 15.

Bohanan converted a couple of goal line carries for touchdowns on his only two attempts in the game. It’s good to see Jacksonville’s fullback do his job when given goal line touches, but for fantasy purposes this probably just infuriated those that inserted Chris Ivory into their lineups with fantasy championships on the line. Bohanan isn’t a fantasy option, but he’ll continue to be a real-life contributor for a strong running game that’ll be playing January football.

Dede Westbrook catches two passes in Week 15.

Westbrook gained 21 yards on his two receptions. He had a good matchup with the Texans, but it was Keelan Cole and Jaydon Mickens that had the huge games in Jacksonville’s win. It could have just as easily been Westbrook with a big performance, but that’s just how it goes sometimes. With Marqise Lee (ankle) unfortunately looking like he’ll miss some time, Westbrook becomes worth stronger consideration as a FLEX option in fantasy lineups.

Kapri Bibbs catches 36-yard touchdown in 2017 debut.

Acquired via trade by John Lynch and the 49ers in the offseason, Bibbs was recently signed by Washington and saw immediate playing time with his new team. The 24-year-old caught four passes for 47 yards and the score, adding two carries for six yards. Bibbs should operate as Washington’s receiving back over the final two weeks of the season, but he can probably remain on the waiver wire outside of deeper PPR leagues. The Redskins will face Denver on Christmas Eve.

Jaydon Mickens scores twice in Jaguars’ win.

After Marqise Lee went down with an ankle injury early against the Texans, Mickens stepped up into a bigger offensive role for the Jaguars and took advantage of his opportunity. Mickens had four receptions (on five targets) for 61 yards and two touchdowns, with both scores coming in the red zone. He also had a 41-yard reception on a deep ball form Blake Bortles. Mickens has been contributing as a returner for the Jaguars, but it’s awesome to see him catch his first passes on offense. Mickens, an undrafted player in 2016, actually lived in his car for some time, and he’s a great motivational story for anyone. With Lee set to miss some time, Mickens is worth a look in deeper leagues.

Samaje Perine contained in win over Arizona.

Perine rushed 14 times for 37 yards, as his long run went for six yards. He also caught two passes for 29 yards. The rookie out of Oklahoma has been held to 45 yards on fewer in each of the past three games, and people probably got ahead of themselves by calling him an RB1 after two good games. Still, Perine is a talented player and worth considering as a low-end RB2/FLEX option for the fantasy championship, including next week against Denver.

Keelan Cole goes off in Jaguars’ blowout victory.

Building on a big performance against the Seahawks in Week 14, Cole continued his ascension and had his first 100-yard receiving performance of the season, catching seven of nine targets for 186 yards and a touchdown. When Marqise Lee went down with an ankle injury, Cole stepped up as a big-time target for Blake Bortles and dominated against the Texans. The score came on an in-breaking route in the end zone, and Cole also added a 73-yard reception in the win. The undrafted rookie now has a touchdown in three-straight games, and he’s been quite the find for the Jaguars this year. With Lee likely to miss more time, Cole is a strong waiver wire pickup this week.

Kirk Cousins, Redskins hold of the Cardinals in Week 15 win.

Cousins was 18/26 for 196 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. Despite inconsistent play and injuries for his supporting cast, Cousins is just five scores away from matching a career-high 29 touchdown passes, and he gets a couple good matchups over the final two weeks of the season. First will be a home meeting with the Broncos on Christmas Eve, but Cousins will probably be off the QB1 map for the first week of the fantasy championship.
