  • BAL Tight End #80
    On the Ravens’ third possession of the day, Likely broke free on a play-action pass to bring in the 54-yard score. Lamar Jackson found likely all alone down the left sideline, slinging a 26 yard pass downfield to the second-year tight end, who immediately cut upfield to get into the end zone. It was Likely’s biggest day of the season, as he’s struggled to make much of an impact through the first 13 weeks. His eight targets were the second-most of his career, as Likely once again looks like an impact player for the stretch run. Likely will be on the TE1 radar for Week 15 against the Jaguars.
  • ATL Tight End #8
    Pitts finished with the second-most receiving yards on the team, splitting targets as part of a tight end rotation with Jonnu Smith and MyCole Pruitt. He caught a 36-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter and was silent for most of the rest of the game. Pitts continues to a see a frustrating share of opportunities and while the touchdown boosted him this week, he is a high-end TE2 for Week 15 against the Panthers.
  • MIN Wide Receiver #18
    Jefferson, who was helped to the Vikings locker room after taking a major shot to his midsection in the second quarter, is being taken to a nearby hospital, per reports. He managed two catches for 27 yards before exiting. Hopefully it won’t be a lingering injury and he can return to Minnesota’s lineup for Week 15 against the Bengals.
  • LAC Quarterback #10
    We didn’t exactly see when the injury occurred to Herbert, as he was seen walking to the locker room during a commercial break. The injury appeared to be to his throwing hand, but we should have more clarity on this shortly. Veteran Easton Stick, who was drafted by the Chargers in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, replaced Herbert on the following drive. Stick has attempted one pass in his NFL career.
  • CLE Quarterback #15
    Flacco’s 311 yards are more than Deshaun Watson has thrown for in a game since joining the Browns. Through two weeks as the starter, Flacco has five passing touchdowns and 565 yards. He has been a massive upgrade over P.J. Walker, who was waived over the weekend, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who is now serving as his backup. After the game, head coach Kevin Stefanski announced Flacco as the team’s starter for the remainder of the season. Flacco will rank as a QB2 for Week 15 versus the Bears. His presence under center has Amari Cooper, Elijah Moore, and David Njoku all back in the good graces of fantasy managers.
  • ATL Wide Receiver #5
    London was easily Desmond Ridder’s favorite target against the Buccaneers, averaging over 17 yards per reception. His longest catch of the day was 45-yarder where London made a difficult adjustment to save Ridder from an interception. He also caught the last play of the game at the four-yard line, just shy of a go-ahead touchdown as time expired. London’s explosion comes after a one-catch day in Week 13, making him a boom-or-bust WR3 against the Panthers for Week 15.
  • LAR Wide Receiver #17
    Nacua’s biggest play came on a 34-yard reception in the second quarter. The rookie receiver took an intermediate pass upfield for the big gain, helping to set up an eventual seven-yard receiving touchdown by fellow rookie Davis Allen. Nacua would later haul in a diving catch for 23 yards to put the Rams in position for another touchdown in the fourth quarter, coming up clutch on more than one occasion in this one. Nacua has gone for 70+ yards in three of his last four games and continues to be a fringe WR1. He’ll be on track for another big outing in Week 15 when the Rams take on the Commanders.
  • ATL Running Back #25
    Allgeier got nine carries to Bijan Robinson’s 10, though the bulk of his touches came outside of the red zone. Cordarrelle Patterson also received three carries, setting a hierarchy where Allegeier is the second option out of the Falcons backfield. The Falcons were more pass-happy this game, rendering less opportunities for the backfield in general. With Patterson continuing to get opportunities, Allgeier is barely an RB4 against the Panthers in Week 15.
  • LAR Wide Receiver #10
    The Rams’ WR1 was at his best in this one. Kupp caught three passes of 20-plus yards, which included a 34-yard reception against Marlon Humphrey to move the Rams within range for a game-tying field goal late in the fourth quarter. Kupp would connect with Matthew Stafford for a six-yard touchdown in the second quarter, accounting for one of Stafford’s three touchdown passes on the afternoon. It was a much-needed big game for Kupp, who hadn’t topped 48 receiving yards in his previous six games. He’ll be in another prime spot in Week 15 when the Rams take on the Commanders.
  • NO Running Back #41
    Two of Kamara’s three receptions went for big losses. Though his lone score came in the green zone, Kamara did not see the kind of usage one might expect in a New Orleans offense missing Taysom Hill (foot), the team’s primary red zone rusher over the past month and a half. Jamaal Williams logged 11 rushes to Kamara’s dozen in what was a decidedly run heavy approach from the Saints. Kamara’s pass game involvement and the Saints’ run heaviness in the red zone should keep him in the high-end RB1 conversation next week against the Giants.
