San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody will face the Chicago Bears at home in a Week 14 matchup on Sunday. Last week in snowy Buffalo, the second-year-pro drilled his first field goal attempt from 33 yards out before missing his final two attempts from 45 and 55 yards. He made his only extra-point try. It's hard to blame Moody for the misses given the weather -- especially the long one which was probably too much to ask. That said, Moody has had his fair share of failed attempts in his short career. Still, a kicker's fantasy value hinges most on the state of his offense, and San Francisco's has a big downward arrow next to it at the moment due to injuries at multiple positions. Since making three field goals -- and missing three -- upon his return from an ankle injury, Moody has come in under projections for three consecutive games. There are probably better options as Moody is RotoBaller's 16th-ranked kicker in Week 14.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra is in line for more work in Sunday's matchup versus Carolina. With Dallas Goedert (knee) ruled out, Calcaterra will be tasked with filling the void at the tight end spot. He started a few games already this season while Goedert was on the shelf. Yet, the 26-year-old didn't do much and currently has only 17 receptions for 216 yards. He also doesn't have a touchdown. Fortunately, Calcaterra wIll go up against a Panthers defense that has allowed a league-worst nine touchdowns to opposing tight ends this season, giving him plenty of upside for fantasy managers in any format.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been a top fantasy signal-caller during the 2024-25 campaign. After Philly began the season with a .500 record, the Eagles haven't lost a game since their Week 5 bye. With that said, Hurts didn't look the best in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens, throwing for only 118 yards and a touchdown off a rough 11-for-19 passing, adding nine carries for 29 yards and a touchdown on the ground. However, he has an excellent chance to get back on track in Sunday's game versus Carolina. Without question, the Panthers defense has struggled throughout the year, allowing a league-worst 30.5 points per contest. To be fair, the Panthers played better than expected in recent meetings with the Bucs and Chiefs in the last two weeks. Still, things could be much different versus Philadelphia in Week 14, so Hurts should be in line for one of his best showings of the season.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has had an MVP-caliber year. Through 12 games, the 27-year-old has 1,499 rushing yards, already surpassing his career-high from 2022. He also has 13 touchdowns, with five occurring in the last three weeks. With the Panthers on tap for Week 14, Barkley is expected to have a fantastic fantasy showing versus a Carolina defense that is the worst in the National Football League against the run, surrendering 1,652 yards and 15 touchdowns to opposing backs during the 2024-25 campaign.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown hasn't looked like the version fantasy managers saw over the last few seasons. Without question, the presence of Saquon Barkley has been a big reason. But to be fair, in nine games this season, the wideout has fewer than five receptions just once while surpassing the 100-yard receiving mark four times. While Brown has only one touchdown since scoring in each of his first three games, he has an excellent chance to get back into the end zone in Week 14 versus the Panthers, with the Carolina defense allowing a league-worst 30.5 points per contest during the 2024-25 campaign.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has a Week 14 matchup on Sunday in Santa Clara versus the Chicago Bears. The perpetually positive 31-year-old disappointed last week in snowy Buffalo with one catch on two targets for seven yards. Fantasy managers should forgive him though, as it was the only time since Week 1 that Kittle came in under projections. Even with the dud, Kittle still is leading all tight ends in fantasy points per game (13.8) in Yahoo default scoring. The matchup is neutral, as Chicago is at the exact median in fantasy points allowed to tight ends. The 49ers are reeling with injuries at the moment, with backups being called for duty in the backfield, out wide, and on the left side of the offensive line. None of these would be cause for concern for Kittle in isolation, but San Francisco's demonstrated lack of offensive efficiency recently -- 15 points per game over its last four -- takes some steam out of Kittle's outlook. Consider him a borderline top-5 option in Week 14.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. will be looking to change his fortunes in a Week 14 home matchup against the Chicago Bears. Entering the contest, Samuel Sr. has failed to break five half-PPR points in three straight games. Last week in snowy Buffalo, he bottomed out -- or at least his fantasy managers hope so -- grabbing four of five targets for just 20 yards and no rushing attempts. Although Samuel Sr. won't be battling the weather on Sunday, the Bears pass defense offers pretty stiff competition -- fourth-best in the NFL at preventing fantasy points to wideouts in half-PPR settings. Samuel Sr. is still capable of burning fantasy managers who finally decide to bench him but the trend, matchup, and San Francisco's injury-riddled offense make him a risky low-end WR3 on Sunday, even in a six-team bye week.

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was underwhelming for fantasy in his last meeting with the Cleveland Browns but will have a shot at redemption at home against his division rival in Week 14. Boswell's missed field goal attempt from deep in Week 12 can at least partially be attributed to the weather, which should not be a concern for Sunday's contest. The Browns have allowed plenty of touchdowns this season, but we have seen that the Steelers are willing and able to lean on Boswell en route to victory, especially in Pittsburgh where he averages over three made field goals per game. Fantasy managers should continue to have a high degree of confidence starting Boswell in all formats.

From RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth, who has gained at least 59 yards in each of his last two contests, is trending upwards heading into a Week 14 bout with the Cleveland Browns. Freiermuth found the end zone last week for his fourth touchdown of the campaign and has slowly been building rapport with quarterback Russell Wilson. He could be in line for additional opportunities on Sunday if wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) is limited or ruled out after appearing on the injury report on Friday. Fantasy managers should monitor Pickens' status, but Freiermuth is a high-end TE2 and streaming candidate regardless with six teams on bye this week.

From RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren had his most prolific showing of the season against the Cleveland Browns in Week 12 and will hope to find similar success in a second meeting with his division rival on Sunday. Warren was outshined by Najee Harris last week but still managed to contribute as a pass-catcher out of the backfield with 55 receiving yards. Although his opportunities on the ground have not been consistent, he has earned four targets in three straight games. Because of this, he can be started as a flex option in PPR formats, but can't be trusted in standard leagues against a difficult Browns run defense.

From RotoBaller

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts has burned fantasy managers in three of the last four contests, culminating with a two-target, zero-catch performance in Week 13. There isn't much reason to believe that things will get better in Week 14 against the Vikings. Minnesota can be beaten through the air, but the damage has been coming from wide receivers, not from the tight ends. The Vikings have allowed the most fantasy points in the NFL to opposing wide receivers, but they're middle-of-the-pack against tight ends. Pitts has fallen to fifth on the team in terms of targets, below Ray-Ray McCloud III and Bijan Robinson, with a 13.9% target share thus far. The 24-year-old is a low-end TE2 in this matchup -- even with six teams on bye -- and while he has TE1 upside in any given week, his weekly floor is zero, having put up goose eggs twice already in 2024.

Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford has eight touchdowns and no interceptions over his last three games, and he has thrown multiple touchdowns in five of his last six contests.

Fantasy Spin: Not surprisngly, Stafford's numbers have improved since the return of his two best receivers. The Rams will likely need to put a lot of points on the board to keep pace with the Buffalo Bills in Week 14, making Stafford a potential streaming option.

From TheHuddle

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (Achilles) was a limited participant in practice on Friday but does not appear to be in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest against the Vikings. The 27-year-old has garnered at least six targets in nine of 12 games this season and has nearly the same air yards share (35.0%) as teammate Drake London (36.4%) despite drawing a 4.4% smaller target share (27.1% vs. 22.7%). Mooney has five touchdowns on the season, but none since Week 9 with quarterback Kirk Cousins struggling so mightily (0:6 TD:INT last three weeks). There are a couple of things working in the fifth-year pro's favor this week, though, as Minnesota allows the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers so far and the Falcons are six-point underdogs, so they may need to throw the ball in order to keep pace with the Vikings. For Mooney's sake, hopefully his QB can shake the interception issue that plagued him last week and the wideout will be a WR3 in Cousins' Week 14 "revenge game."

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Isaac Guerendo will be in the spotlight for a Week 14 home contest versus the Chicago Bears. The fourth-round pick out of Louisville will be making his first career start in place of the injured Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle). The 49ers traded up to get Guerendo -- who they figured to be a great fit in their offensive scheme -- and he's looked the part so far to the tune of 5.9 yards per carry and two touchdowns. Guerendo hasn't yet flashed his full potential in the passing game, though he did catch three of four targets for 17 yards in Week 8 versus Dallas. If he manages to stay healthy, Guerendo has the potential to be a fantasy league-winner, given head coach Kyle Shanahan's history of riding his lead running back at the expense of secondary options. The only threats to Guerendo's volume come from fringe backs Patrick Taylor Jr., Israel Abanikanda, and Ke'Shawn Vaughn. Chicago represents the 10th-best matchup for fantasy running backs in half-PPR scoring. The main factor throwing a wet blanket on Guerendo's outlook this week is the condition of the Niners' offensive line, who will be missing left guard Trent Williams (ankle) and possibly left guard Aaron Banks (concussion). Consider Guerendo a solid RB2 with a top-12 finish on the table.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris had his best fantasy outing of the season in Week 13 and will look to keep rolling against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Harris was ineffective against this Browns' defense two weeks ago, but he remained a focal point of the offense with 18 opportunities. Even if Jaylen Warren mixes in for additional work, Harris should be a lock for at least 15 touches, a number he has surpassed in every contest this year. Although Cleveland has been solid against the run in 2024, the Browns are giving up a lot of points and are tied for the fifth-most rushing touchdowns surrendered to running backs. Fantasy managers can continue to rely on Harris as a volume-based RB2 with a good shot of finding the end zone in Week 14.

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive back Tyson Campbell (thigh) is officially deemed questionable for his team's meeting with the Tennessee Titans in Week 14. In last weekend's 23-20 loss to the Houston Texans, Campbell picked up a thigh injury, participating in just 35 snaps (60%). He'd previously been over 90% of the team's snaps in the prior four contests. While the 24-year-old kicked off the week with a DNP, he'd be upgraded to limited sessions on Thursday and Friday before being labeled as questionable. The fourth-year corner has already missed five games this season with a thigh injury. If Campbell cannot play, DB Jarrian Jones projects to pick up the slack in the Jags' defensive backfield.

From RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson is fresh off a monster performance and will carry some positive momentum into a meeting with the Cleveland Browns in Week 14. Although Wilson underwhelmed against Cleveland in the snow two weeks ago, Sunday's contest is not expected to be played in harsh weather conditions. The potential is certainly there for the Browns to turn this into a shootout as Jameis Winston has attempted nearly 44 passes per game over the past five weeks. Pittsburgh has deployed more of a balanced attack with Wilson under center, but the 36-year-old has managed to score as a top-12 fantasy option in three of six starts. With six teams on bye this week, fantasy managers can turn to Wilson as a streaming candidate with plenty of upside against his division rival.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns defensive back Juan Thornhill (calf) is questionable for his team's divisional clash against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 29-year-old injured his calf in the two franchises' last meeting -- the snow game in Week 12 -- and missed last week's outing against the Denver Broncos. After logging a DNP on Wednesday, the sixth-year veteran was upgraded to limited over the ensuing two days and carries a questionable designation into the weekend. Despite appearing in just six games this year, Thornhill is Cleveland's eighth-leading tackler. If he can't play, Ronnie Hickman will continue to see an uptick in snaps, while DB D'Anthony Bell could see a bump in playing time as well.

New York Jets kicker Anders Carlson has made both of his field-goal attempts and added four extra points in his two games with the team. He will look to add to that total in a road matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. The Dolphins have been generous to kickers this season, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, the Jets have not been a fantasy goldmine for their kickers this season, leaving Carlson as a low-end option heading into Week 14.

From RotoBaller

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) will suit up on Sunday for a Week 14 home matchup against the Chicago Bears. The 24-year-old signal-caller returned from a one-game absence to a Week 13 snowstorm in Buffalo. Purdy's fantasy performance was dismal -- understandably so, given the conditions and injury problems that his offense was dealing with. While it does get easier for Purdy this week, don't expect a walk in the park on Sunday. Chicago is the second-best team in the league at preventing fantasy quarterback points and the 49ers are even more thin on healthy starters than last week. All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) remains out and it's anyone's guess whether left guard Aaron Banks will clear concussion protocol in time. In the backfield, San Francisco will turn to rookie third-string back Isaac Guerendo as Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle) are likely out for the season. Purdy is a high-end QB2 at best, even in a six-team bye week.
