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.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill had ten catches for 114 yards and a touchdown in a win against Miami. Dynasty Analysis: It might be too little, too late for some dynasty managers, but today reminded us of just how dominant Hill can be on any given Sunday. Tua Tagovailoa seems to be rounding back into form and the Dolphins are still mathematically alive, so dynasty managers can count on a full workload at least in the near-term for Hill. His dynasty value has sunk a little this year, but that should stop after today.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London earned 10 looks in Week 14 but was able to haul in just five of those passes, tallying 70 yards receiving in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Vikings. With Kirk Cousins going four weeks without a touchdown pass, so too has London. Still, it was the third time in the last four games that the 23-year-old totaled double-digit targets, and with the fifth-most targets in the NFL through 14 weeks, the former first-round draft pick has a reliable role in this offense with more productive days to come -- so long as Kirk Cousins is under center for the Falcons and not rookie Michael Penix Jr. It's a situation to monitor, but for now Cousins' job is safe according to head coach Raheem Morris, so London should again be a borderline WR1 in Week 15 against the Raiders.

The Philadelphia Eagles' defense allowed 16 points, registered one sack, and forced one turnover during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Carolina Panthers. Zack Baun delivered the sack, as well as 11 tackles. Meanwhile, C.J. Gardner-Johnson intercepted Bryce Young and defended two of his passes. It was an underwhelming day for an Eagles defense that had previously ranked 10th in fantasy points tallied this season. While a performance like this is concerning, it could be more of a testament to the Panthers' up-and-coming offense and less of an indictment on the Eagles' defense. Philadelphia will be a fringe top-12 option heading into next week's battle with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott went 2-for-2 on extra points but missed his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Carolina Panthers. Elliott's miss came from 52 yards out, which means he still hasn't hit a kick from beyond 50 yards in 2024. All in all, he is 18-for-24 on field goals this year, which equates to a 75 percent success rate that would rank as the second-lowest mark of his career. Elliott checks in from outside the top 20 kickers in fantasy points and can be left on waivers in most leagues heading into Week 15 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray delivered an average fantasy performance in the Week 14 loss to the Seahawks. Murray's official stat line was 25 completions on 38 attempts for 259 yards, two passing touchdowns, and two interceptions, while also adding 16 rushing yards. Murray's interception struggles since the bye week continued in this game, as he threw interceptions on back-to-back passes in the first quarter, making it challenging for the Cardinals to stay competitive. Despite keeping the ball clean through the first 10 weeks of the season, Murray has thrown at least one interception in each of his last three games, more than doubling his season total. However, Murray was still able to bounce back from the two interceptions, and the Cardinals' offense looked better in the second half. It was just a little too late for the Cardinals in this matchup. The Cardinals will host the New England Patriots in a Week 15 game, giving Murray great bounce-back potential.
