Randall Cobb catches all eight targets in Week 14.

Cobb was peppered with underneath targets against Cleveland, gaining only 39 yards on his eight receptions. It was a good fantasy day if you play PPR leagues, but it was not great for standard scoring. Cobb should get Aaron Rodgers back next week, but he’s only a backend FLEX option at the moment.

Alex Smith, Chiefs easily beat the Raiders and improve to 7-6.

Smith was 20/34 for 268 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. He also rushed five times for 24 yards. Kansas City finally got Kareem Hunt and the running game going with 25 carries for the rookie, and they were able to enter the fourth quarter with a 26-0 lead before Oakland scored a couple garbage-time touchdowns. Hopefully that opens things up in a huge AFC West matchup with the Chargers on Saturday night, but Smith will probably be out of QB1 territory against one of the league’s most underrated defenses.

Davante Adams scores game-winner for Packers in Week 14.

Adams had another great game with Brett Hundley under center, as he caught ten of 14 targets for 84 yards and two touchdowns against the Browns. The first touchdown was on a fade route to tie the game and send it to overtime. And the second was in overtime on a quick slant-type of screen that he took 25 yards for a walk-off touchdown in which he kept running right into the huddle. Now the Packers might get Aaron Rodgers back for Week 15 against the Panthers, and Adams should remain a very good WR1/WR2 option in fantasy lineups.

Alfred Morris gets 22 touches in Week 14.

Morris had 19 carries for 62 yards and three receptions for 23 yards against the Giants. Though Morris again worked as the clear lead ball-carrier for Dallas, Rod Smith had a monster game that included 160 total yards and two total touchdown (though only six carries). Morris will probably lead the backfield in carries again next week, but there is some slight risk that Smith takes more touches. Next week will be the last to use Morris in fantasy lineups, as Ezekiel Elliott will return in Week 16 against Seattle.

Dak Prescott plays great in Cowboys’ win over the Giants.

Prescott had one of the best games of his young career against a team that’s given him trouble over his first three starts against them, as he went 20/30 for 332 yards and three touchdowns while adding six carries for 13 yards to help get the Cowboys to 7-6. While the Giants are banged up and just fired their head coach, it probably feels good for Prescott to light them up through the air. Two of the touchdowns were to Dez Bryant and Rod Smith on slant routes that broke for 50 yards and 81 yards, respectively. And he had a 20-yarder to Jason Witten on a perfect throw to the end zone. Prescott will be in QB1 consideration next week against Oakland.

Jarius Wright caught two passes for 13 yards in Sunday’s loss to Carolina.

Wright converted a big third down in the fourth quarter, and he seems to be a reliable target over the middle when Case Keenum needs it. Still, he’s not a fantasy option next week against the Bengals.

A.J. Green gets 12 targets in loss to Chicago.

Green caught five passes for 64 yards in the Week 14 loss, as this was his fifth-straight game with at least 50 receiving yards. He did have a lost fumble in the game, too. Next week against Xavier Rhodes and the Vikings will be difficult, but Green is probably too good to leave out of fantasy lineups.
