There might have been six weeks on a bye but that didn’t stop the fantasy scoring for many. We had some absolutely huge performances. Josh Allen had one of the all-time greatest fantasy performances. And three receivers had 33-plus fantasy points. We even had a backup running back get a start score nearly 40 fantasy points. Sure, we still had some down games along the way, but it wasn’t all bad for Bye-Magedon II. Hopefully, you were on the positive side of things in Week 14.

Lions 34, Packers 31

Fantasy Stud: Josh Jacobs. Jacobs had another big game for his fantasy teams, scoring three times. He ran 18 times 66 yards and three touchdowns.  Jacobs scored 24.6 fantasy points, giving him four straight games with 20-plus fantasy points. He is now over 1,000-yards rushing for the season and has 11 touchdowns. A move to Green Bay was a good one for the fantasy value of Jacobs. He is having as good of a season as ever with his new team

Fantasy Dud: Jordan Love. Love played fine in this game, but didn’t help fantasy owners. He watching Jacobs do all the scoring. Love was 12-of-20 for 206 yards and a touchdown. He scored just 16.6 fantasy points. Love has fewer than 17 fantasy points two of three games. He has been a lot more up and down for fantasy teams this season than his owners would like.

Game Notes: Jared Goff had his fourth three-touchdown game of the season. He was 32-of-41 for 283 yards and three touchdowns with an interception.

Tim Patrick found the end zone for the first time all season, scoring twice in the game. He had six receptions for 43 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets.

Jaguars 10, Titans 6

Fantasy Stud: Brian Thomas. There was not much offense in this game but Thomas got it going again, which was encouraging. He had eight receptions for 86 yards. He was targeted 12 times, which was a season high for Thomas. He had a few down games but now has 13-plus fantasy points three straight games

Fantasy Dud:  Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. The Titans had a lot of duds in this game but we’ll give it to Westbrook-Ikhine. He had just a catch for 19 yards. He got a lot of play because of his production of late and several fantasy teams looking for bye-week replacements. Westbrook-Ikhine was a bust, though.

Game Notes: Tony Pollard was a bright spot offensively, hitting the 100-yard rushing mark for the third time. He ran 21 times for 101 yards and caught two passes for 22 yards.

Tank Bigsby got most of the work at running back for the Jaguars. He ran 18 times for 55 yards and a touchdown. He caught a pass for seven yards as well.

Eagles 22, Panthers 16

Fantasy Stud: Jalen Hurts. Hurts found the end zone three times. He was 14-of-21 for 109 yards and two touchdowns without a turnover. He also ran eight times for 59 yards and a touchdown. Hurts scored 25.35 fantasy points. Hurts has fewer than 200-passing yards three straight games. He isn’t having quite the fantasy season most had hoped but still producing decent numbers

Fantasy Dud: A.J. Brown. Brown had four receptions for just 44 yards. He failed to top double-digit fantasy points for just the second time all season. Brown is having a so-so season of his standards, especially if you compare him to last season. He just isn’t having those huge games.

Game Notes: Jonathan Brooks left the game early with a non-contact knee injury. The injury did not look good and is one to watch going forward. He is getting imaging Monday to determine the severity.

Saquon Barkley had his fourth straight 100-yard rushing game. He ran 20 times for 124 yards and converted a two-point try in the game.

Bucs 28, Raiders 13

Fantasy Stud: Rachaad White. Bucky Irving was banged up early and unable to return to the game, giving White most of the work. White took advantage with one of his best games of the season. He ran 17 times 90 and a touchdown. White also caught two passes for 19 yards and another touchdown. White topped 20 fantasy points for the second time this season, scoring 24.9 points

Fantasy Dud: Brock Bowers. Bowers had a rare down game, catching three passes for 49 yards. He wasn’t horrible but just didn’t do much for his fantasy owners. Bowers failed to hit double-digit fantasy points for the second time in three games. He did not have double-digit targets for the first time since Week 9.

Game Notes: Sincere McCormick handled most of the work at running back for the Raiders. He ran 15 times for 78 yards and had two receptions for 11 yards.

Aidan O’Connell was injured in the game and had to leave early. He was 11-of-19 for 104 yards with an interception. Desmond Ridder relieved O’Connell and finished 12-of-18 for 101 yards.

Vikings 42, Falcons 21

Fantasy Stud: Jordan Addison. Addison had a career game, finishing with eight receptions for 133 yards and three touchdowns. Addison scored 39.3 fantasy points and has topped 30 fantasy points two of three games. He has touchdowns four of six games. He has really picked up his game since early in the season

Fantasy Dud: Kirk Cousins. We thought this might be a revenge game for Cousins, but he struggled once again. He failed to score a touchdown and was intercepted two times. Cousins was 23-of-37 for 344 yards with two interceptions. He scored just 15.2 fantasy points, giving him less than 16 fantasy points four straight games.

Game Notes: Sam Darnold was nearly perfect, going 22-of-28 for 347 yards and five touchdowns without a turnover. He had a season-high 38.05 fantasy points.

Darnell Mooney had his second 100-yard game of the season. He had six receptions for 142 yards on six targets.

Steelers 27, Browns 14

Fantasy Stud: David Njoku. Njoku continued his very solid play. He had just 42 yards but had seven receptions and a touchdown. Njoku scored 17.2 fantasy points. He has 17-plus points three of four games. Njoku has been targeted 29 times his last two games. He is playing as well as any fantasy receiver in the game right now

Fantasy Dud: Nick Chubb. Chubb had another ho-hum showing, splitting a lot of the work with Jerome Ford for the second straight game. He ran 11 times for 48 yards and didn’t catch a pass. Ford had 10 carries for 28 yards and caught three passes for 18 yards. Chubb is not usable for fantasy teams since his return from injury.

Game Notes: Najee Harris found the end zone for the second straight game. He ran 16 times for 53 yards and a touchdown.

Pat Freiermuth scored a touchdown for his second straight game. He had three receptions for 48 yards and a score. He has touchdowns three of five games.

Saints 14, Giants 11

Fantasy Stud: Tyrone Tracy. There was not much offense in this game but Tracy was a bright spot. He had 16 carries for 45 yards and a touchdown. He also caught five passes for 38 yards. He had another good overall fantasy game, scoring 19.3 fantasy points. Tracy was targeted a season-high 10 times in the game

Fantasy Dud: Marquez Valdes-Scanting. Valdes-Scantling got a lot fantasy play this week because of the bye weeks. He was a dud, though, catching four passes for 51 yards. He failed to hit double-digit fantasy points for the first time in three games. He did have a season-high seven targets in the game, which was a little encouraging despite his poor fantasy numbers.

Game Notes: Derek Carr fell awkwardly late in the game and was unable to return. It is feared that he suffers a broken hand. He was 20-of-31 for 218 yards and a touchdown with an interception before exiting late.

Kendre Miller had 10 carries for 32 yards and a touchdown. It was his first game since Week 8, missing because of a hamstring injury.

Dolphins 32, Jets 26

Fantasy Stud: Tyreek Hill. Hill looked like vintage Hill in this one, producing huge. He had 10 receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown. He had a season-best 28.1 fantasy points. He had 20-plus points two straight games. He could be setup for a big finish to the season, putting behind him his so-so numbers to start the year

Fantasy Dud: Braelon Allen. Allen got some fantasy starts with Breece Hall out, but he pretty much split the work with Isaiah Davis. Allen ran 11 times for 43 yards and caught four passes for 38 yards. It wasn’t an awful fantasy game but pretty average for a starting back in the NFL. 

Game Notes: The Jets had two 100-yard receivers. Garrett Wilson had seven receptions for 114 yards while Davante Adams had nine catches for 109 yards and a touchdown.

Jaylen Waddle had his second 100-yard game of the season. He had nine receptions 100 yards on a season-high 12 targets.

Seahawks 30, Cardinals 18

Fantasy Stud: Zach Charbonnet. Charbonnet had a huge game, getting a chance to start with Kenneth Walker out. He ran 22 times for 134 yards and two touchdowns. He also had seven receptions for 59 yards. Charbonnet scored 38.3 fantasy points. He showed his huge potential in a starting role for the Seahawks. He is a must start if Walker misses any more time

Fantasy Dud: DK Metcalf. Metcalf had another disappointing game, catching four passes for 49 yards. He continues to play second fiddle to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Metcalf scored just 8.9 fantasy points. He has fewer than double-digit points two of three games. He has not topped 70 yards in a game since Week 7.

Game Notes: Trey McBride continued his torrid play, finishing with seven receptions for 70 yards. He has at least seven receptions three straight games.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba had five receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown. He has touchdowns two of three games.

49ers 38, Bears 13

Fantasy Stud: Isaac Guerendo. Guerendo looked great in a starting role but had to leave the game early because of a foot injury. Hopefully, it isn’t too serious. He showed his huge ceiling in a starting role in this offense. He had 15 carries for 78 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught two passes for 50 yards, giving him 128 total yards. He is about a must start as long as he is starting for the 49ers. 

Fantasy Dud: D’Andre Swift. Swift got a decent workload but couldn’t do anything. He had 14 rushes for just 38 yards and a catch for two yards. The entire Bears offense struggled much of the game. Swift is posting more inconsistent numbers of late, leading to some disappointing fantasy owners.

Game Notes: George Kittle had six receptions for 151 yards. It was his second 100-yard game of the season. He topped 20 fantasy points for the sixth time this season.

Jauan Jennings continues to led the way at receiver for the 49ers. He caught seven passes for 90 yards and two touchdowns, giving him at least seven receptions three of five games.

Rams 44, Bills 42

Fantasy Stud: Josh Allen. Allen had one of the all-time greatest fantasy games. He scored six touchdowns, three rushing and three passing. It was the first time in the history of the NFL that someone had three rushing and passing touchdowns in a single game. Allen scored 55.3 fantasy points. It was quite the game. He has at least 23 fantasy points eight straight games

Fantasy Dud: James Cook. The Bills just completely abandoned the run in this game. Cook ran six times for just 20 yards and caught two passes for nine yards. He had a terrible game for fantasy owners, scoring just 4.9 fantasy points. It was his lowest fantasy output of the season, breaking a streak of five straight games with at least double-digit fantasy points

Game Notes: Puka Nacua had 12 receptions for 162 yards and a touchdown. It was the first time all season he had double-digit receptions in a game.

Kyren Williams found the end zone for the third straight game. He had 29 carries for 87 yards and two touchdowns. Williams is up to 14 total touchdowns on the season.

Chiefs 19, Chargers 17

Fantasy Stud: Quentin Johnston. Johnston got more chances with Ladd McConkey out and played well, catching five passes for 48 yards and a touchdown. Johnston scored 15.8 fantasy points, which was the third time this year he had 15-plus points in a game. His seven targets in the game were his second highest total of the season

Fantasy Dud: Both Chiefs backs. Isiah Pacheco got more of the work this week but still didn’t help fantasy owners. He ran 14 times for 55 yards and caught two passes for six yards. Kareem Hunt got less work, rushing five times for 16 yards. He caught a pass for 13 yards. Pacheco scored just 8.1 fantasy points in the game while Hunt had 3.9 points. Neither back is helping fantasy teams right now.

Game Notes: Justin Herbert was banged up in the game but missed just a play before returning. He played another solid game, going 21-of-30 for 213 yards and a touchdown without a turnover.

DeAndre Hopkins scored a touchdown for the second time in three games. He had four receptions for 32 yards and a touchdown on nine targets.
