New Orleans Saints quarterback Jake Haener entered the game late in the fourth quarter after starter Derek Carr (hand, head) was forced out due to injury. Carr took the ball in a designed run and vaulted over defenders near the sideline but came down hard on his left arm and head. Coming in with four minutes left in the game, Haener took just four snaps and did not record a pass attempt. He handed the ball off three times and was sacked for a ten-yard loss on his only dropback. Haener also took over at quarterback in Week 5 when Carr exited that game with an oblique injury, but the Saints turned to Spencer Rattler for the next three starts. It is too soon to tell who will be the Saints' signal-caller in Week 15, with the decision largely dependent on confirmation of the extent of Carr's injuries.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara handled 17 carries for 44 rushing yards and caught all five of his targets for 35 receiving yards in Sunday's 14-11 win over the Giants. His rushing and scrimmage yard totals were his lowest since his dismal Week 7 game against the Broncos, and his touchdown drought extends to a sixth game. Seven of Kamara's rushing attempts resulted in negative yardage against a run defense that had allowed 5.04 yards per carry coming into the game. Kamara's five receptions were the most on the team, making it the seventh game this season that he has either led or tied for the lead in that category. With quarterback Derek Carr (hand, head) ailing, Kamara's potential will take a hit in the Saints' Week 15 matchup against the Commanders. When Carr was sidelined for three weeks with an oblique injury earlier this season, Kamara averaged 14.7 PPR points per game.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) was forced to leave the game in Week 14 after getting hurt on the last play before halftime. Dissly caught two passes on two targets, totaling 19 yards before being forced to leave. Tight end Stone Smartt came in to take Dissly's place after halftime and picked up 54 yards on three catches. Dissly will be questionable at best for Week 15 against Tampa Bay, but as long as he's healthy enough to suit up, he should remain a high-floor mid-ceiling fantasy tight end option.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Stone Smartt was targeted three times in a Week 14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, making three catches for 54 yards. Smartt was forced into a larger role after starting tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) had to leave the game due to getting injured on the last play before halftime. Smartt has shown some upside in small bursts and could be a streaming option in 2TE leagues in Week 15 if Dissly is unable to return.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker made all three of his kicks in a Week 14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Dicker made both of his extra point attempts and also nailed a field goal from 37 yards out in the fourth quarter. "Dicker the Kicker" continues to be one of the more consistent and reliable options in fantasy football's least consistent and reliable position. He'll get to kick against Tampa Bay in Week 15.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer led the Chargers in most receiving categories in a Week 14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Palmer was targeted nine times, making six catches for 78 yards, all leading the team. Palmer took over as quarterback Justin Herbert's favorite target with Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) out and other Chargers pass catchers missing time throughout the game. A similar game plan could take place next week against Tampa Bay, where Palmer will be around the WR3/4 border if McConkey can't play.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston scored a touchdown, his seventh of the season, in a Week 14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Johnston was expected to have a bigger role with Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) inactive, but that leading role went to Joshua Palmer instead. Still, Johnston saw seven targets thrown his way, making five catches for 48 yards including a four-yard touchdown catch near the end of the third quarter. "QJ" went on a touchdown scoring streak earlier in the season but hadn't found the end zone since Week 11. It was a solid performance from the sophomore pass catcher, who will face Tampa Bay next week.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Kimani Vidal nearly split the backfield with starter Gus Edwards in a Week 14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Vidal ran the ball eight times, gaining 34 yards. He was targeted once in the passing game but did not make the catch. Vidal got two fewer carries compared to Edwards but was second on the team in carries and rushing yards and clearly working in a role that could continue to grow while J.K. Dobbins (knee) remains on IR.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards scored a touchdown in a Week 14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Edwards led the Bolts backfield in carries and yards, and was the only runner to find the end zone. In total, Edwards ran 10 times, gaining 36 yards. His touchdown was a three-yard run in the middle of the third quarter that opened the scoring for the Chargers. Nine different Chargers players saw passes thrown their way, but Edwards did not get any action at all in the passing game. The Chargers will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week, where Edwards will once again likely need a touchdown to put up a significant fantasy score.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert threw a touchdown pass in a tough Week 14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Herbert and the Bolts offense did close to nothing in the first half but looked a lot stronger after halftime. Despite throwing to guys who would be depth pieces at best on most other teams, Herbert was still able to complete 21 of his 30 passes for 213 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. He was sacked three times, losing 19 yards, but added 12 yards on four carries. Herbert's touchdown was on a four-yard pass to Quentin Johnston near the end of the third quarter. The Chargers signal caller was forced to leave the game temporarily after taking a big hit, but he was back in and none the worse for wear soon after.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle resumed his excellent season during a 38-13 home victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. A week after posting his worst fantasy game of the year, Kittle caught all six of his targets for a team-leading 151 yards receiving. Most of Kittle's fantasy value this year has lied in his ability to consistently generate touchdowns, but Kittle was plenty valuable on Sunday despite not finding the end zone. During the first half in particular, it seemed that the Bears' defense had no answer to Kittle as he ripped off large chunks of yardage. With the fantasy playoffs starting next week in most leagues, Kittle managers should be feeling pretty good about having Kittle on their side. He'll get the Los Angeles Rams at home in Week 15 as a no-brainer start.

The Tennessee Titans defense allowed 10 points, forced two turnovers, and registered one sack during Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Otis Reese IV led the way with his two quarterback hits, one tackle for loss, and one interception. Chidobe Awuzie also registered an interception. Meanwhile, Harold Landry picked up one sack and two total quarterback hits. Although the Titans defense didn't score any points themselves, they played well and kept their team in the game (even though the offense couldn't finish the job). The Titans D/ST is off the fantasy radar heading into Week 15 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts was a non-factor in the passing game yet again in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Vikings. The 24-year-old recorded six targets but caught just one pass for 14 yards, which was the fourth time in the last five games that he caught just one or fewer passes. Even if he has a good game or two left in him this season, there's no telling when that will happen, as the former first-round draft pick has fallen to the fifth option in the passing attack. At this point in the season when fantasy managers can't risk taking zeros in their lineups, it'll be hard to trust Pitts as even a TE2 in Week 15 against the Raiders, a team that is one of the most generous in allowing fantasy points to TEs.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd caught just one of his four targets on Sunday afternoon, producing a seven-yard reception during the third quarter against the Jacksonville Jaguars. For the first time since Week 10 (and just the third time this season), Boyd was held to one or fewer receptions. The 30-year-old now has 33 catches for 317 yards this year, but he's still looking for his first touchdown as a member of the Titans. He remains off the fantasy radar in his current role as the No. 3 receiver behind Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. once again had fantasy managers shaking their heads during a 38-13 blowout of the Chicago Bears on Sunday in Santa Clara. While technically an improvement from last week, two catches on three targets for 22 yards and five carries for 13 yards rushing isn't what one expects when checking the box score after a 38-point offensive output. Sunday marked the fourth-consecutive performance for Samuel Sr. with under five half-PPR points. Chicago appeared to spend most of the game in zone coverage -- which was vanquished not by perennial zone-beater Samuel Sr., but by wideout Jauan Jennings and tight end George Kittle. Samuel Sr. will be hard to start in the fantasy playoffs when he gets his next chance in Week 15 on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams in Santa Clara.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo caught three of four targets for just eight receiving yards during Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Okonkwo's three receptions totaled ten, four, and negative six yards. The 25-year-old is having his worst NFL season yet, catching just 30 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns while ranking outside the top 30 fantasy tight ends. The 25-year-old belongs on waivers in most fantasy leagues, including next week against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Dynasty | Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine had one catch for 19 yards in a loss to Jacksonville. Dynasty Analysis: In a game that featured two teams going nowhere this season, the Titans just couldn't generate much against the Jags defense. Westbrook-Ikhine had scored eight touchdowns over his last eight games, despite a minimal target share but finally saw the bottom fall out today. He'll be a touchdown dependent option moving forward, but today finally reinforced his very low floor.

Dynasty | Jags rookie Brian Thomas Jr had eight catches for 86 yards in a win against Tennessee. Dynasty Analysis: Even Mac Jones can't slow down BTJ, who has been one of the most consistent rookies all season, despite playing on a team that's struggled to say the least. With a 54/851/6 line already, Thomas looks like a lock to reach 1,000 yards his rookie season. He's one of the more valuable holds in terms of 2023 rookies in dynasty leagues at the moment.

Dynasty | Jets rookie Braelon Allen had 43 rushing yards, four catches and 38 receiving yards in a loss against the Dolphins. Dynasty Analysis: Allen had a golden opportunity to shine today, but ended up sharing carries with Isiah Davis, who had 40 yards and a touchdown of his own. After a hot start to the year, Allen's dynasty value is starting to slide as he's recently looked more like a capable backup than a player who could be a realistic starting option in the future.

Dynasty | Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 27-of-39 passes for 339 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in a loss against the Dolphins. Dynasty Analysis: There are some games this year where Rodgers has been clearly one of the major problems for the Jets, but today wasn't one of them. He routinely connected with both Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson all day. While his future is very much in flux, his chances of staying with the Jets beyond this season were likely increased today. Regardless, his dynasty value is sinking pretty fast this year and he remains more of a bye week or QB2 option.
