Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has a good chance for a bounce back performance in a Week 14 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. When the two teams faced off earlier this season, Herbert only put up 11.2 fantasy points, finishing as the week's QB22. The Chargers have a much different offense now, though, and the Chiefs seemingly have a different defense as well. While the Chargers throwing the ball more, the Chiefs secondary has struggled a bit and allowed the eighth-most pass touchdowns since Week 8. Herbert had a down game last week (partly because the Chargers defense dominated the game), but he's in a good spot to return to a top-12 fantasy performance on this week's Sunday Night Football.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards is not a strong fantasy option in Week 14 despite at least nominally being the leader of the LA backfield. Edwards led the Chargers in Week 13 by being on the field for 52% of the offensive snaps, including 64% of the rushing plays, but he did not see a single snap in the red zone and has always been a non-factor in the passing game. Despite leading the backfield in plays, Edwards totaled just 33 total yards on seven touches. He may once again lead the backfield in Week 14, but the Chiefs elite run defense combined with the presence of Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal also in the backfield makes Edwards close to a must-sit outside of the deepest leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Kimani Vidal could see his role grow in a Week 14 Sunday Night Football matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Vidal played behind Gus Edwards in Week 13 with J.K. Dobbins (knee) on IR, but Edwards has been ineffective all season while Vidal has shown some solid burst and strength. This could be the week that Vidal takes over as lead back, and that would clearly come with significant fantasy potential, but it's impossible to know for certain what the distribution of snaps and touches will be. Either way, it's a tough matchup as the Chiefs defense has been elite against opposing running backs. Vidal should be rostered in most formats by now, but another week on the bench is likely the safe option.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Hassan Haskins should still have a role in a Week 14 game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. Haskins has been in a depth role all season, but he ended up playing 45% of the team's offensive snaps in Week 12. He was in on 15% in Week 13, but seemed to be kept off the field for the most part after a fumble early on. Still, with J.K. Dobbins (knee) out and Gus Edwards looking like he may be out of gas as a runner, Haskins could find himself with some red zone work. He's a low-ceiling, low-floor dart throw, but worth at least keeping an eye on in some deep leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston is a risky option with some upside in a Week 14 Sunday Night Football game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Johnston has been plagued by drops once again in his sophomore season, and he also has a hard time getting open in the secondary, but with Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) questionable at best and possibly limited if he does play, Johnston could be the de facto WR1 for the Bolts against a Chiefs defense that has suddenly started struggling against opposing wide receivers. Johnston is a very risky WR4 option if McConkey plays, but he'd be boosted into the mid-range WR3 conversation if McConkey is forced to sit.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer could have some fantasy value in a Week 14 Sunday Night Football matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Palmer hasn't done much this season, peaking with a WR22 finish in Week 9 and finishing as a top-36 option at his position only twice. But this week, with Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) questionable and possibly limited if he plays, Palmer could see a more important role in the passing game. The Chiefs defense is elite against running plays but has struggled against outside wide receivers, especially recently. If McConkey doesn't play, Palmer could be a deep league FLEX option.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly is set up for a strong comeback game in a Week 14 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. Dissly put up a whole entire zero points last week, but he'd been a solid and consistent tight end option for several weeks in a row before that. The best bet is likely to chalk up the zero as a fluke and trust Dissly for another solid week of production, especially against a Chiefs defense that has allowed the most receiving yards and the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. Dissly is right on the TE1/2 border, with a high floor (despite last week's zero) and a decently high ceiling. Both floor and ceiling go up significantly if Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) is unable to play.

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.

From RotoBaller

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.

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.

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."
