Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Kimani Vidal recorded four carries in a Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Active for the first time since Week 8, Vidal played alongside nominal starter Gus Edwards with J.K. Dobbins (knee) on IR. Vidal ended up gaining 20 yards with his four carries, most of it on a solid 16-yard run. He wasn't targeted in the passing game. His role could grow as the Chargers will need some different looks out of the backfield next week against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren turned three carries into nine yards and gained 55 yards on four receptions in a Week 13 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Warren, who out-snapped and outproduced Najee Harris last week, took a backseat on Sunday but still was effective as a weapon in the passing game. He has looked explosive when given opportunities, but with Cordarelle Patterson mixing in for six touches this week, it's difficult to predict what Pittsburgh's backfield rotation will look like moving forward. Warren is worth rostering in most formats but should only be viewed as a flex option in PPR leagues next week against the Cleveland Browns.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston made two catches in a 17-13 Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Johnston was second on the team in targets with four, catches with two, and receiving yards with 12. It was the Ladd McConkey show (nine catches on 12 targets for 117 yards), so other Bolts relievers didn't get too many chances even though McConkey was forced to leave the game early with a knee injury. Johnston's role would obviously grow significantly if McConkey is forced to miss time, but he'll still be a risky fantasy option in Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert game managed his way to a 17-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13. Herbert didn't put up a strong fantasy performance despite a good matchup, but despite the close final score, the Chargers seemed mostly in control throughout the game. Herbert ended up attempting 23 passes, completing 16 of them for 147 yards. He took five sacks, losing 19 yards, but didn't throw any touchdowns or interceptions. On the ground, Herbert turned five "carries" into one total yard. The Bolts will face the Chiefs in Week 14, where Herbert will almost certainly have to do a lot more.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards carried the ball six times in a Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He gained 32 yards on the ground, with a long of 12 yards. In the passing game, he was targeted once, making a one-yard catch on the play. As expected, Edwards took the starting role in the backfield with J.K. Dobbins (knee) on IR, but the touches just weren't there, as the Bolts ran the ball only 17 times total, split between five different players. Edwards and the whole Chargers offense will likely need to do a lot more next week when they take on the division-leading Kansas City Chiefs.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion) exited Sunday's game against the Houston Texans after taking a nasty hit. The signal-caller missed the Jags' previous two contests because of a shoulder injury. Unfortunately, he wasn't on the field long, finishing with only 41 yards and one pick off 4-for-10 passing. Head coach Doug Pederson was understandably disgusted with the play that resulted in his quarterbacks premature departure. He also revealed that Lawrence is now in concussion protocol while being unable to offer more details. At any rate, there's a chance Lawrence could miss time, meaning Mac Jones, who threw two touchdowns in Week 13, could find himself back under center versus the Titans.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold completed 21-of-31 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 23-22 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. He rushed for an additional 22 yards on four carries. The 27-year-old had a weird first half this afternoon -- leading his team to two field goals on ten-play drives on two of their three possessions. However, he'd pick it up after that, tossing both of his TDs in the second half, battling back down two scores to earn his fifth straight win. Darnold's touchdowns were from four and five yards out, and he's now gone two consecutive games without a turnover. The USC product will prepare for a juicy Week 14 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta had given up the seventh-most passing yards per contest through 12 weeks (229.9).

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth logged six receptions for 68 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in a 44-38 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals. Freiermuth led the team in targets and tied for the team lead in catches on Sunday while making his fourth trip to the end zone of the season. He was largely uninvolved when Russell Wilson first took over at quarterback but has been more of a focal point in recent weeks, specifically near the red zone. The 26-year-old will carry some fantasy value as a streaming option into a Week 14 meeting with the Cleveland Browns.

From RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens hauled in three of his six targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in a Week 13 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. While he didn't lead the team in targets or receptions, he paced all Steelers in receiving yards in a vintage Russell Wilson performance. The two connected for a 17-yard score early in the first quarter and later on a deep ball for a gain of 36 yards. Pickens has now scored three times since Wilson took over QB1 duties and is establishing himself as a consistent fantasy asset. He'll look to provide better results against the Cleveland Browns next week than he did in Week 12's loss.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins had a horrible showing in Sunday's narrow loss to the Chargers, throwing for 245 yards and four interceptions. The veteran hasn't tossed a touchdown in his last three appearances, so many are wondering if a quarterback change could be in the works. However, head coach Raheem Morris didn't entertain that idea while speaking to the media following the loss. "We have no issues with that man," said Morris regarding Cousins. "That guy has gotten us to the point where we are at 6-6, first place in the division, we still have everything in front of us despite what happened today." With Atlanta dropping three-straight games, Cousins will look to get it together in Week 14 versus the Vikings, his former team. With that in mind, anything can change moving ahead, so fantasy managers in multi-QB formats should consider grabbing Michael Penix Jr. off waivers, where available, in case the rookie takes over at some point.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for 185 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception off 21-for-39 passing in Sunday's five-point loss to the Seahawks. He had one of his better showings of the 2024-25 campaign in the loss to the Colts ahead of the team's bye. Unfortunately, the veteran couldn't keep things going versus Seattle, with the Seahawks defense only allowing the signal-caller to complete just 53.9% of his attempts. Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich stated entering the contest that the team has no plans of shutting down Rodgers. However, while speaking to the media after Sunday's loss, Ulbrich didn't rule out a potential quarterback change moving ahead. Either way, the clock is ticking, so his time under center (and possibly in New York) could be ending soon if the Jets don't show signs of life in the AFC East clash with the Miami Dolphins in Week 14.

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols took the backseat during their demanding victory over the Tennessee Titans. Entering this game with Austin Ekeler (concussion) on the IR, many suspected Jeremy McNichols to see an uptick in work and operate as the No.2 option behind Brian Robinson Jr. However, Chris Rodriguez Jr. logged double-digit attempts, while McNichols saw just six carries. While he was effective in his limited role (5.2 yards per carry), operating as the No.3 running back is not positive for his fantasy outlook. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout their Week 14 bye week but should expect Rodriguez to be the new No.2 option in Week 15.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown ran for 70 yards and a touchdown off 12 carries in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. He also caught all three targets for 30 yards. The 24-year-old had another quality fantasy performance against a tough Steelers defense. Unfortunately, his efforts weren't enough to lead the Bengals to a much-needed win. With at least one trip to the end zone in seven of his last nine appearances, Brown has a chance to keep it going versus a Cowboys defense that has allowed 14 rushing touchdowns during the 2024-25 campaign, the worst in the National Football League.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin brought in all eight of his targets for 73 yards and two touchdowns in their victory over the Tennessee Titans. Both his targets and yardage paced all other Washington wideouts on Sunday afternoon. These eight targets were also his highest total since Week 8 against the Chicago Bears. Both of McLaurin's scores came from within 20 yards. Since Week 3, McLaurin has only fallen below 15.0 PPR points on one occasion and has tallied an impressive nine touchdowns in this span. Fantasy managers should continue to view McLaurin as a high-end WR2 heading into a Week 15 duel in New Orleans following their Week 14 bye.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (ribs) caught three of his four targets for an underwhelming 27 yards during their Week 13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Brown exited the game in the third quarter with a rib injury and did not return. However, with the Commanders holding a comfortable lead the entire game, Brown did not need to get overly involved in the gameplan. Since Week 8, Brown has only seen four or fewer targets his way in two games and only tallied less than 27 yards on two other occasions. Despite the poor showing, fantasy managers in deeper 3WR formats should continue to hold onto Brown during their Week 14 bye, as he will still operate as the clear No.2 wideout in this high-octane offense. Brown will look to have a bounce-back showing in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris handled 16 carries for 75 yards and a touchdown while catching all six of his targets for 54 yards in a Week 13 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Harris, who struggled mightily against the Cleveland Browns and played on fewer snaps than Jaylen Warren last week, dominated opportunities in Pittsburgh's backfield and bounced back in a big way on Sunday. His six receptions were his most since Week 4 as quarterback Russell Wilson targeted him early and often. He seemingly injured his leg on the Steelers' second possession of the contest but quickly returned to score from 10 yards out in the second quarter. The fourth-year pro will look to keep trending positively in another meeting with the Browns next week.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz found the back of the end zone for the third-straight contest in their victory over the Tennessee Titans. Ertz saw six targets (second-highest on the team) and brought in three of them for 35 yards. The veteran tallied his fourth touchdown of the season off a four-yard pass from Jayden Daniels in the final frame. With Noah Brown's inconsistencies, fantasy managers should continue to expect Ertz to see a reliable target share weekly. Ertz remains a solid low-end TE1 heading into the final weeks of the season and continues to be a value in DFS formats. Ertz will look to stay hot in Week 15 when the Commanders travel to New Orleans to face the Saints following their Week 14 bye.

From RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 309 yards, three touchdowns, and one pick off 28-for-38 passing in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. He added two carries for nine yards. The Bengals offense knew they would have their hands full against a sound Pittsburgh defense. Despite that, Burrow had a productive showing, although the Bengals defense could stop the Steelers from putting up 44 points. With Cincinnati unlikely to earn a postseason berth, Burrow and company will look to get on track on Monday night versus the five-win Cowboys. The Dallas defense has struggled throughout the 2024-25 campaign, allowing a third-worst 28.3 points per game, meaning Burrow should be in line for another efficient outing.

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels went 25-for-30 with 206 passing yards, 34 rushing yards, an interception, and four total scores in their Week 13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. The Commanders got out to an early 21-point lead in the opening quarter. Brian Robinson Jr. scored on the opening drive, while Daniels added a rushing score and a TD pass to Terry McLaurin later in that frame. Then, in the second quarter, he found McLaurin in the end zone for the second time today. Daniels capped off his impressive outing with his fourth touchdown, this time on a pass to tight end Zach Ertz. With the Commanders in the driver's seat through most of the afternoon, the LSU product did not need to push the ball downfield quite often. However, he was dominant in the red zone and was able to still enjoy a strong fantasy showing. Daniels and the Commanders will get a much-needed bye week next weekend and set their sights on a Week 15 tilt in the Big Easy against the Saints.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. tallied 103 yards and a score off 16 carries during their Week 13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. He was not targeted in the passing game. Robinson wasted little time as he posted an impressive 40-yard TD run on their opening possession. The Commanders would have a sizeable lead throughout, which allowed Robinson to see a slight decrease in workload by the second half. However, with Austin Ekeler (concussion) sidelined, the Alabama product would dominate touches while the game was close. Fantasy managers should feel confident viewing Robinson as a solid RB2 with scoring upside heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Saints, as the Commanders are off next weekend.
