Rhett Ellison scores in Giants’ loss.

Ellison caught four of five targets for 20 yards and a touchdown against the Cowboys. It’s good to see him get in the end zone, but Ellison doesn’t normally get enough looks in the passing game to be a fantasy option.

Marshawn Lynch handles just eight touches as Chiefs handle the Raiders.

Lynch rushed seven times for 61 yards and a touchdown, which was basically a garbage-time score in the fourth quarter. He also caught a three-yard pass. Oakland should have relied more on the running game as Derek Carr threw it 41 times, but struggled to get anything going. Still, fantasy owners should probably be happy with the 60+ yards and a touchdown from Lynch, who will be no better than a FLEX play against the Sean Lee-led Cowboys next Sunday night.

Kenny Golladay caught three passes for 17 yards in Sunday’s win over Tampa Bay.

He also rushed once for nine yards. It’s a little surprising that Golladay didn’t connect on any downfield throws against Tampa Bay’s smaller cornerbacks, especially with Matthew Stafford throwing it 44 times for nearly 400 yards. The rookie will look to make a big play in Week 15 against Chicago, but he won’t be a fantasy option outside of deeper leagues.

Jordan Howard scores twice against the Bengals.

Howard had one of his best games of the season, bouncing back from a couple of subpar performances over the last two weeks. The second-year back had 23 carries for 147 yards and two touchdowns, while adding an eight-yard reception in the win. Though next week’s game is in a dome, Howard is a guy that should improve as the weather gets cold and defenses will be less eager to tackle him. Keep him in lineups next week when he plays the Lions.

Roger Lewis gets 11 targets in Week 14.

Lewis’ 11 targets were a team high, and he caught seven passes for 46 yards in the loss. It’s a good sign for him that he saw double-digit targets, but Lewis is difficult to trust in fantasy lineups right now.

Mitchell Trubisky plays well in Bears’ win over the Bengals.

Trubisky had one of his best games of the season versus Cincinnati, going 25/32 for 271 yards and a touchdown while adding two carries for five yards and a touchdown on the ground. The passing score was by the goal line to rookie tight end Adam Shaheen, and the rushing score was on a zone read by the goal line that Trubisky basically walked in on. Trubisky has completed at least 78% of his passes over the last two games, and he’ll look to keep it going next week against Detroit. He’s not yet a reliable fantasy option, though.

Evan Engram leads the Giants in Week 14 receiving.

Engram was targeted seven times against the Cowboys, catching four receptions for 54 yards in the loss. The rookie tight end should remain Eli Maning’s top target next week against the Eagles, but he does have some downside against them. Engram had 45 yards in their first matchup back in Week 3.
