Deonte Thompson gets four targets in Week 15.

Thompson caught one pass for 16 yards against the Dolphins. He contributes on offense, but Thompson’s role isn’t big enough to be a viable fantasy option.

Kelvin Benjamin gets two targets against the Dolphins.

Miami has done an excellent job on receivers as of late, and this was no different. Benjamin did catch both of his targets, gaining 20 yards, but hopefully you didn’t trust him in fantasy lineups in a matchup with Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard and a secondary that’s been lights out lately. Things won’t be much easier against Stephon Gilmore and the Patriots in Week 16.

Brandon Tate catches one pass in Bills’ win.

Tate gained 21 yards on his lone reception (and lone target) of the game, so it was good to see him step up for his team. He’s not a fantasy option, though Tate is a good contributor to the Bills in real life.

Duke Johnson handles 12 touches in loss to the Ravens.

Johnson rushed seven times for 23 yards and a touchdown, adding five receptions for 40 yards. The score was a 12-yard run in the second quarter, which was one of the only highlights of the game for the now 0-14 Browns. Johnson is nothing more than a weak FLEX option in PPR leagues for the fantasy championship. Cleveland faces Chicago on Christmas Eve.

Nick O’Leary catches two passes in Week 15.

O’Leary gained 33 yards on his two receptions, including a gain of 25 yards. The Bills did a nice job of attacking the middle of the field with their tight ends, but O’Leary’s role isn’t big enough to be a reliable fantasy option.

Isaiah Crowell sees just nine touches in Week 15 loss.

Crowell rushed five times for 72 yards, including a 59-yard run, also “adding” four receptions for negative-seven yards (which is one of the many reasons that PPR doesn’t make any sense). The 24-year-old won’t be a recommended fantasy option against the Bears on Christmas Eve as the Browns look to earn their first win of the season.

Charles Clay leads the Bills in Week 15 receiving.

The Dolphins are susceptible to opposing tight ends more so than the other positions on offense, and the Bills took advantage of it. Clay was targeted a team-high nine times, catching five passes for 68 yards in the victory. His next opponent, New England, took Clay away in Week 13, so there are probably better TE1 options for the first week of the fantasy championship next week.
