Tyrod Taylor (knee) will be a game-time decision this week.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott says Taylor will be limited in practice today and they’re still “working on” who will be the starting quarterback this Sunday. McDermott also added that rookie Nathan Peterman could start with Tyrod backing him up, so it’s probably going to come down to how the coaches think Taylor looks in pregame warmups on Sunday, as it sounds like he’ll be healthy enough to play, but he might not be effective enough to start at less than full strength.

Andy Dalton plays well, but Bengals fall to 5-7.

Dalton came out hot against the Steelers tonight, and he helped lead his team to 17 first-half point and an early lead. However, the Steelers tightened up on defense in the second half and made it tough for the Bengals to get much going—though three key drops did not help Dalton at all. Overall, Dalton was 21/36 for 234 yards and two touchdowns, along with two carries for 19 yards. Both touchdowns were to A.J. Green, with one coming on an out route and the other coming on a perfect 17-yard throw on a deep-in route that Dalton placed beautifully on the back hip of Green. Dalton has 18 fantasy points in three-straight games, but he’s not a highly-reccomended option in Week 14 against Chicago.

Levine Toilolo catches one pass against the Saints.

Toilolo caught a seven-yard pass off a play-action bootleg, and he dove for a first down and got near the one-yard line, setting up a touchdown by Devonta Freeman a few plays later. While his real-life contributions (including solid run blocking) is important for the Falcons, Toilolo is not a reliable fantasy option.

Xavier Grimble catches one pass against the Bengals.

Grimble’s lone target was on a screen pass that he took for nine yards and a near first down. Because his role simply isn’t big enough, Grimble is off the fantasy radar.

Austin Hooper catches two passes in Week 14.

Hooper gained 23 yards on his two receptions, but he unfortunately had a pass go off his hands and into Saints linebacker Chris Banjo’s arms for an interception. Matt Ryan wasn’t happy about it, but it shouldn’t affect Hooper’s role. Either way, he’s not a highly-reccomended fantasy option at the moment.

Jesse James catches one pass in Week 13.

James’ lone reception went for 13 yards. You’re really hoping for a touchdown if you insert James into fantasy lineups.

Mohamed Sanu scores in Week 14.

Sanu had a very good game in tonight’s win against New Orleans, catching six passes (on eight targets) for 83 and a touchdown. Sanu had a clutch touchdown in the ten-point fourth quarter for the Falcons in their comeback win, as he took advantage of single coverage from a bunch formation and ran a slant in the end zone. Sanu had 64 receiving yards and threw a 51-yard touchdown against the Bucs, his next opponent, a couple weeks ago. He’ll be in the FLEX conversation for Week 15.
