Quarterbacks:

  • Josh Allen: Is ranked second in total Fantasy Games Won (FGW) since the start of 2021, trailing only Justin Jefferson (read more).

  • Brock Purdy: His rushing production has increased from 8% to 22% of his fantasy output this season, ranking 10th among QBs in rushing (read more).

  • Caleb Williams: Since Thomas Brown took over play-calling, Williams has improved, averaging 1.8 pass TDs and 20.8 fantasy points per game over the past month. The rookie QB has thrown 2+ passing TDs in three consecutive games despite facing tough defenses (read more).

  • Matthew Stafford: Over the past seven weeks with Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua in the lineup, Stafford has averaged 2.3 passing touchdowns and 19.4 fantasy points per game (read more).

  • Bryce Young: Since Carolina's Week 11 bye, Young has thrown for 752 yards and three touchdowns with just one interception. He’s added 13 carries for 66 yards and a rushing touchdown in that span (read more).

Running Backs:

  • Travis Etienne Jr.: significantly outperformed by Tank Bigsby, who out-touched him 19-8 in Week 14 against the Titans. His role appears to be shifting to primarily third-down/pass-catching back while Bigsby serves as the primary ball carrier (read more).

  • D'Andre Swift: Averaging a career-low 3.8 yards per carry this season and just 2.82 yards per carry over Chicago's last three games (read more).

  • Bijan Robinson: Robinson dominated red zone carries over Tyler Allgeier with an 8-to-1 margin. ATL has one of the league's easiest playoff schedules for running backs (read more).

  • Kendre Miller: Saw significant opportunity rate with touches on 61% of his snaps despite only 26% snap share. Could maintain role through season with Taysom Hill on IR, though his inconsistent production makes him a risky fantasy play (read more).

  • Jerome Ford: Has split the Browns backfield over the past two weeks, playing 56% of snaps. Current usage pattern making both Ford and Chubb difficult to rely on as Browns offense runs primarily through passing game (read more).

Wide Receivers:

  • Jordan Addison: Expected to face challenges against Jaylon Johnson, who allows only 0.13 fantasy points per route run (read more).

  • Ja'Marr Chase: Chase ranks eighth in total Fantasy Games Won (FGW) since the start of 2021 (read more).

  • Amari Cooper: Cooper saw a massive spike in involvement with 14 targets in Week 14 against the Rams, accumulating 254 air yards and 95 receiving yards despite playing only 53% of snaps (read more).

  • Xavier Legette: Since Week 10, Legette has maintained a 20% target share and 28.4% air yards share. He recorded his second-highest target count of the season with 8 targets and 128 air yards in Week 14 (read more).

  • CeeDee Lamb: Since Week 9, Lamb has posted a disappointing 6.2-yard aDOT, ranking seventh among Cowboys receivers and 134th among all NFL receivers (read more).

  • Puka Nacua: Leads all receivers with an impressive 37% TPRR this season (read more).

  • Brian Thomas Jr.: His rookie yards per route run metrics are historically significant, trailing only elite names like Beckham Jr., Brown, Jefferson, Chase, and Olave since 2014 (read more).

  • A.J. Brown: Recorded season-low four targets and showed visible frustration with his usage after the game. Has only one touchdown reception since Week 7 (read more).

  • Ray-Ray McCloud: Big game vs. MIN with a 29.7% target share, 8 catches for 98 yards. Two consecutive games of at least 4 catches and 95 yards. Favorable matchup against LV, who have allowed the most fantasy points and 3rd-most receiving yards to slot receivers since Week 8 (read more).

  • Adam Thielen: Thielen has seen heavy usage with 21 targets over the past two weeks, establishing himself as Bryce Young's top weapon. The veteran receiver is positioning himself as a potential fantasy league winner down the stretch (read more).

Tight Ends:

  • Juwan Johnson: Has scored touchdowns in two of his last three games. Considered a low-end TE2 whose fantasy value depends entirely on scoring touchdowns (read more).

  • Zach Ertz: Has been averaging approximately seven targets, five catches, and 40 yards over the past month. Considered a solid floor play against the Saints, who have allowed seven TE targets in three of their last four games (read more).

  • Dalton Schultz: Increased involvement before HOU Week 14 bye, with seven targets and five catches in two of his past three games (read more).

  • Stone Smartt: Stepped up after Will Dissly's shoulder injury, catching all three targets for 54 yards against the Chiefs. Has favorable Week 15 matchup against Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who allow sixth-most fantasy points to tight ends (read more).

  • Grant Calcaterra: Has multiple games with over 50 receiving yards when Goedert has been absent this season (now on IR). Expected to see increased targets against the Steelers in Week 15 due to the need for quick throws in the middle of the field (read more).
