DeVante Parker catches one pass in Week 13.

Parker’s lone reception against the Broncos went for five yards. Despite the Dolphins saying they wanted to get Parker going and at the point he was during the summer when he looked prime for a huge breakout season, the big receiver has actually regressed statistically over the last three games—and there’s certainly a chance the high-ankle sprain that forced him to miss three games earlier this season is still a factor. One pass yesterday intended for Parker was intercepted, which isn’t good either. Parker has a difficult matchup with Stephon Gilmore and the Patriots last week, who held him to one reception for five yards in Week 12. He’s probably best left out of fantasy lineups right now, despite his upside.

Austin Ekeler gets six touches against the Browns.

Ekeler carried four times for 19 yards and added two receptions (on three targets) for 21 yards. While the undrafted rookie has done a superb job mixing in behind starter Melvin Gordon this season, it’s difficult to trust him in fantasy lineups as anything more than a desperate FLEX option, given his volatile workload.

Julius Thomas scores in win over the Broncos.

It was a nine-yard score, and Thomas finished with three receptions for 20 yards. With just 37 receptions for 362 yards and three touchdowns this year, Thomas isn’t a recommended fantasy option in Week 14 or down the stretch when championships will be won.

Melvin Gordon gets 23 touches versus Cleveland.

Gordon continues to get a heavy workload for the Chargers, as this makes four-straight games with at least 20 touches for the third-year back. He carried the ball 19 times for 77 yards and added another 29 receiving yards on four receptions (four targets). Gordon’s long run of the game was for 29 yards, and he also had a nice 14-yard reception where he came back to a scrambling Philip Rivers and stayed in bounds while securing the catch at the sideline. Keep Gordon locked into lineups as an RB1 for the first week of the fantasy playoffs.

Anthony Fasano catches 29-yard pass in Week 13 win.

It was his only reception of the game. Fasano won’t be a fantasy option when the playoffs get underway in Week 14.

Jared Goff, Rams improve to 9-3 with 32-16 win over Arizona.

Goff was 21/31 for 220 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He also fumbled once but it was recovered. The interception was a nice play by a dropping defensive lineman, but overall, Goff was really good once again. The touchdowns were to tight end Gerald Everett from one yard away and Sammy Watkins from 11 yards out, and Goff is now on pace for 4,245 yards, 27 touchdowns, and eight interceptions with a quarter of the season to go. He will get the Eagles next week before finishing off with the Seahawks, Titans, and 49ers, so the second-year quarterback should finish strong. He might be a top-five option for the fantasy playoffs.

Jarvis Landry caught five passes for 62 yards in Sunday’s win over Denver.

On pace for 107 receptions with a quarter of the season left to go, Landry will be a reliable PPR option in the fantasy playoffs, but standard-league owners might  be better off looking elsewhere. The Dolphins take on the Pats in Week 14.
