Willie Snead caught two passes for 31 yards in Sunday’s win over Carolina.

Snead nearly scored on a 26-yard catch-and-run, and it’s the second-straight week that the goal line was in sights before he was tripped up. Barely a factor for the first three months of the season (partly due to suspension), Snead is starting to get more involved recently. Still, it’s unlikely to lead to any reliable fantasy value down the stretch in a loaded offense.

Jay Cutler, Dolphins stay alive with convincing win over the Broncos.

Cutler was 18/31 for 235 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. The scores came on a nine-yard pass to Julius Thomas in the second quarter and a 23-yard pass to Kenny Stills in the fourth quarter. Cutler will face the improved New England defense for the first week of the fantasy playoffs, but the Dolphins could have a better game plan after losing to the Patriots with Matt Moore under center last month. Still, it’s difficult to trust Cutler with a lot on the line.

Josh Gordon gets 11 targets in his first game since 2014.

Gordon’s anticipated return finally happened, and—as promised by Browns head coach Hue Jackson—Gordon was heavily involved in the offense immediately. He was targeted 11 times in the game, catching four passes for 85 yards, with a long of 39 yards. Despite it being his first game in three years, Gordon still showcased the elite ability that made him an All-Pro in 2013. Green Bay has some good corners and did a nice job on Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson in their Week 13 win, but Gordon should be a very good option in fantasy lineups against them next week.

Dede Westbrook gets nine targets against Indy.

Westbrook continues to work his way into a sizable role for the Jags, and he caught six passes for 78 yards in the Week 13 victory. The 78 yards were a career-high for the rookie Westbrook, who’s played in only three games so far this season. He’s not a highly-reccomended option next week against Seattle, but Westbrook offers upside down the stretch in the fantasy playoffs.

Michael Thomas scores in Week 13 win.

Thomas caught five passes for 70 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Drew Brees’ top receiver was also missed for another big gain, but it was a solid day nonetheless. He has a somewhat difficult matchup against the Falcons on Thursday night, but he would get a boost if top cornerback Desmond Trufant misses another game. Either way, he’s a quality WR1 for the first week of the fantasy playoffs.

Marqise Lee scores in Week 13.

Lee paced the team in receiving against the Colts, catching seven of ten targets for 86 yards and a touchdown (all team highs in the game). This was a very good bounce-back for Lee, who had to contend with Patrick Peterson and company against the Cardinals last week. However, next week against Seattle is a pretty difficult matchup—but Lee still offers solid upside in fantasy lineups.

Ted Ginn caught two passes for 27 yards in Sunday’s win over the Panthers.

He also rushed once for six yards. Ginn couldn’t find the end zone like he did in the first meeting with his former team, but the Saints were able to sweep the season series and pull two games (including the tiebreaker) ahead of the Panthers in the NFC South. Ginn should probably be left on the bench or waiver wire for the first week of the fantasy playoffs, as Atlanta doesn’t allow the deep ball.
