  • 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.
  • ATL Running Back #7
    It wasn’t the most efficient day for Robinson, but he led the Falcons backfield in touches while scoring a three-yard touchdown. Cordarrelle Patterson and Tyler Allgeier combining for 12 carries is not ideal, but Robinson got the bulk of the red zone opportunities. He saw two carries and a target inside the 10-yard line on the Falcons’ first drive, none of which converted into a score. Fantasy managers would like to see Robinson get more backfield touches, though he is getting the higher-leverage touches for now. Consider Robinson an RB1 for Week 15 against the Panthers.
  • BAL Wide Receiver #3
    Beckham’s first catch came on an impressive 20-yard grab where he had to make a full-body adjustment in the air to pull in the catch. His second catch wasn’t quite as impressive but was more impactful. Beckham snuck behind the Rams’ secondary after shaking his defender to connect with Lamar Jackson on a 46-yard score — it was the Ravens’ second touchdown of 40-plus yards in as many drives. The day could have been much better for Beckham, whose 10 targets tied with Zay Flowers for the team-high, but Beckham continues to look better and better as the season goes. He’s now gone for 50 or more yards in three of his last five games and has also scored in three of his last five. Beckham will be on the high-end WR3 radar in next week’s game against the Jaguars.
  • TB Tight End #88
    Otton saw the third-most targets amongst Buccaneers pass-catchers, catching two of them. After a zero-target day last week, it is encouraging to see Otton get utilization as the third option in the offense again. He capped off his day on the receiving end of an 11-yard Baker Mayfield game-winning touchdown toss. Otton will be a TE2 option in Week 15 against the Packers.
  • LAR Running Back #23
    Williams rushed seven times for 43 yards on the Rams’ first possession. The Rams called nine-straight run plays out of the gate only to see an effective drive stall in the red zone, but Williams, as we’ve come to expect, once again operated in a bell-cow role. His longest run of the day went for a 14-yard gain, but Williams ripped off multiple chunk yards to finish with a solid 4.6 YPC. Fantasy managers would have liked to see him find the end zone in this one, but it’s hard to be upset with his overall production. Williams should have a chance to go off in Week 15 against the Commanders, where he’ll be treated as a high-end RB1.
  • LAR Quarterback #9
    The offenses exchanged blows all day long in this one and needed overtime to officially sort things out. Stafford completed multiple passes of 20-plus yards on the evening as he and his duo of receivers torched the Ravens’ secondary all afternoon. Stafford would connect with Cooper Kupp, Davis Allen, and Demarcus for touchdown scores on the afternoon and was at his best late in the fourth quarter. With the Rams in need of a game-tying field goal late, Stafford completed passes of 19 and 34 yards on back-to-back plays to put the Rams within field goal range. Kicker Lucas Havrisik would hit a 36-yard attempt to force overtime, but a punt return touchdown by the Ravens after the Rams went three-and-out would seal their fate in overtime. Stafford has now thrown three or more touchdowns in three straight games and will be on the QB1 radar in Week 15 when the Rams take on a down-bad Commanders defense.
  • MIN Wide Receiver #18
    Jefferson took a huge shot over the middle on his second catch of the game and was escorted to the locker room soon thereafter. Jefferson is returning from a long stint on IR with a hamstring injury. Expect the team to be cautious with their superstar wideout.
  • TB Wide Receiver #13
    Evans only saw one target in the entire first half against the Falcons. The Buccaneers’ downfield offense struggled all day, leading to more of a Chris Godwin game and silence from Evans, who made his first catch in the third quarter. Evans nearly had a touchdown grab in the fourth quarter but could not get in-bounds to capitalize. He has erupted for fantasy production in weeks past and shouldn’t be expected to have one-catch days often. Evans ranks as a WR2 against the Packers in Week 15.
