Odell Beckham Jr. has another quiet game in Week 14 win.

Following up a three-catch, 29-yard outing in Pittsburgh, Beckham caught two-of-five targets for 39 scoreless yards against the Bengals—which certainly won’t quiet any noise about him wanting out of Cleveland after the season. Through 13 games, OBJ has just two touchdowns, and he’s on pace for career-lows in yards per game (64.9) and catch percentage (54.6%) for what was supposed to be an unstoppable passing attack. A draw next week against Patrick Peterson isn’t one to shy away from for matchup purposes, but Beckham looks like a volatile FLEX for Week 15.

Ian Thomas impresses in Week 14 start.

With Greg Olsen (concussion) out of the lineup, the second-year tight end caught five passes for 57 yards and a touchdown, which came in the first quarter to tie things at 10-10 before Atlanta pulled away from the Panthers. Thomas will continue to be blocked by Olsen over the final three games (assuming the veteran clears the protocol), but his dynasty stock is in a good spot, and we may see more playing time for him down the stretch under new offensive play-caller Scott Turner. A matchup against Seattle next week would put Thomas on the streaming radar again if Olsen can’t get cleared.

Joe Mixon continues second half surge with 26-touch game against the Browns.

In a hard-fought loss to Cleveland, Mixon rushed 23 times for 146 yards and one touchdown, also adding three receptions for 40 yards. Since the bye, the talented back has handled 23.0 touches per game as the clear centerpiece of Zac Taylor’s offense, and that workload should continue next week when the Patriots come to town. New England should be determined after back-to-back losses, but Mixon’s individual ability combined with projected workload will leave him on the RB2 radar.

Alvin Kamara bottled up in loss to the 49ers.

Kamara rushed 13 times for 25 yards and caught four-of-six targets for 18 yards. To make matters worse, San Francisco and New Orleans combined for a whopping 94 points on Sunday, but Kamara never got going. The consensus top-five pick has now failed to find the end zone in 12-of-13 games this season, and his efficiency has taken a major hit (including just 6.8 yards per reception). Perhaps a breakout will come next week on Monday Night Football, but Kamara is looking more like a low-end RB1 than potential league-winner.

Tevin Coleman sees just three touches in Week 14 win.

Coleman drew the start again for San Francisco, but in a game where nearly 100 points were scored, it was a major disappointment for him to record just six yards to start the fantasy playoffs. Both Raheem Mostert (12 touches for 109 yards and two touchdowns) and Matt Breida (seven touches for 58 yards) ending up playing ahead of Coleman, who is now nothing more than a touchdown-dependent FLEX option. For what it’s worth, next week will be a game against his former Falcons teammates.

Jimmy Garoppolo outduels Drew Brees in a thrilling shootout victory.

Garoppolo was 26-of-35 for 349 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception in the 48-46 victory—which ended on a 30-yard field goal by Robbie Gould as time expired. 49ers-Saints quickly turned into full-blown shootout, and Jimmy G showed he was up for the challenge with scores to Kendrick Bourne (twice), Emmanuel Sanders (a 75-yard deep ball), and George Kittle spread across all four quarters. San Francisco now has the No. 1 seed in the NFC with three weeks to go, and there should be no questions about Garoppolo’s ability to perform in big games next month. He will get QB1 consideration against the Falcons in Week 15.

Noah Fant has 100-yard game in win over the Texans.

Denver’s first-round pick caught a 14-yard score in the first quarter on the team’s opening possession, which began with a 48 yard catch-and-run by Fant, who also had chunk gains of 28 and 23. It was the second time the rookie has been over the century mark since the start of November, and his dynasty arrow is pointing way up with a 35/492/3 line through 13 games. If Fant (foot) is good to go next week in Kansas City, he will be an upside TE2 option.
