Commentary

Week 14 of the NFL season will forever live on in the memories (or the nightmares) of fantasy managers because of the monster performances from Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, Amari Cooper and George Kittle, and because of the laundry list ...

Oakland has given up the greatest number of fantasy points to opposing tight ends, so this might be one of those weeks where Ben Roethlisberger looks for Vance McDonald a bit more than usual.

Christian McCaffrey has hauled in 80 catches in 12 games this season, which puts him on a pace to finish 107 catches-- which would surpass Matt Forte's RB record of 102.

In the four games since he’s returned from the world’s most nagging hamstring injury, Dalvin Cook has caught at least three passes in every game and is averaging 4.5 receptions per game. Expect Cook (who is Minnesota’s primary pass-catching back) to have his best fantasy performance of the season.

Peyton Barber received 16 carries in week 13 against Carolina, and I expect him to see another 15-20 carries this week. This is an "attackable" matchup for Jameis Winston to get the ball near the goal line, which is where Barber excels.

Where will we be drafting Lindsay in 2019? We all thought that Royce Freeman was going to be the rookie back to own but out of nowhere we see the 24-year-old out of Colorado completely steal the show. Lindsay plays much larger than his 190-pound frame would leave you to believe and his intensity level borders on insanity.

With Green Bay in disarray, Aaron Jones has been one of the only bright spots for the team. He’s found pay-dirt in five of the last six games and is proving to be a solid pass catcher.

Our own Tony Holm hosts his weekly chat at USAToday.com and FantasySharks.com today at Noon ET, get those questions in as we try to work our way through your lineup decisions this week. We'll see you then!

Adam Humphries has quietly posted a decent receiving line over the last eight games by averaging more than 63 receiving yards and scoring five touchdowns in that timeframe. With nine targets in Week 13, take a look at Humphries as a low-end WR3 or deep FLEX.

McCaffrey leads all running backs in receptions (80), receiving yards (663), is tied for second in receiving touchdowns (6) and has hauled in at least five receptions in all but one game this season. He is wreaking havoc on opposing defenses on a weekly basis and is primed to continue his incredible pace in Week 14 against a horrendous Cleveland defense.

The Chargers play very well in Los Angeles as they’ve won eight out of their last ten games at home. On the other hand, the Bengals do not travel well against teams with winning records. It looks like the Bengals will be without A.J. Green as well.

We’ve all been chasing this mythical "Green Bay Receiver" creature all season long and it’s beyond time to admit that he just does not exist. And, no, Mike McCarthy’s ousting after Sunday’s embarrassing loss to the Cardinals does not change that.

You mean you didn’t start Cody Core and James Develin with fantasy playoffs on the line? Heck, I don’t even know who Cody Core is. Apparently, he plays for Cincinnati.

Mayfield looked atrocious against the stout Houston defense in Week 13 (TD, 3 INT), but I think he bounces back in Week 14. Carolina is up next for the first overall pick in the 2018 draft, and Carolina is the second-best matchup for quarterbacks on the season.

On the last week of our fantasy football season, RB Phillip Lindsay, RB James Conner, and QB Deshaun Watson went for a combined 70 points. Only Phillip Lindsay went for a 28 burger but that was enough. I have been winning by getting 90 points from my Top 3 players and coasting in.

He has been lighting it up since he took his job back and the Saints are coming up this week. This should be a big Kamara week and that should lead to a big Winston week in response.

If you own this elite every-down tailback, you’re probably not a happy camper right now after what happened at Lambeau Field this past Sunday. Is it time to give up on DJ31?

Andrew Luck kept his impressive streak of tossing at least three TDs in a game going last week. The streak now stands at eight games, during which Luck has tallied 27 TDs against just eight INTs...

Go-go JuJu! JuJu Smith-Schuster moves into the Top 10 this week, and in doing so forms the second WR pair (with Antonio Brown) to be atop the rankings-- joining the Adam Thielen-Stefon Diggs combination.

The lines makers haven't caught up to Buffalo yet and still discredit them as a bad team and while neither one of these teams would be considered good, it's the Bills that are better than many give them credit for.

While Atlanta continues to showcase how different the same team can be from year to year, Matt Ryan keeps showing us the beautiful creature that is created when a capable quarterback is paired with a flat out awful defense.

Frank Gore is averaging 17 touches per game the past three weeks, which is plenty to work with in the fantasy football world. Kenyan Drake is also banged up (again …), so keep an eye on that. I like Gore whether or not Drake plays in this contest.

Kenny Golladay will have nine receptions for 125 receiving yards and two touchdowns against the Los Angeles Rams this week.

With news that Melvin Gordon is out for a few weeks with a knee injury, Ekeler is now an elite RB1 for fantasy owners. He possesses both running and receiving skills and will be a lock for 15-20 touches while Gordon is out.

Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold are not the only rookie quarterbacks making a nice first impression this season. Baltimore rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson has averaged 164 passing yards, 95 rushing yards and totaled three touchdowns in two starts.

I’m not going to sugarcoat it. Eli Manning is in for a long afternoon in Week 13 against the vaunted (yes, vaunted) Chicago defense.

The bye weeks are now in everyone’s rear view mirror and looking at the free agent pool, it sure appears the window to get something out of it closed before Thanksgiving. Bodies started going down like dominoes last weekend, so ...

Andrew Luck has been on a crazy streak of having at least three touchdowns in his last 8 games. There's no possible way he can keep up that consistency, but shhhhhhh, don't tell the other people in your league!

Remember when some people argued Coleman was better than Devonta Freeman? He isn’t. Please don’t say that on Twitter anymore. You sound like a dum-dum.

Winston’s next two games should require him to throw a ton. If he can keep it away from the other team’s corners he should give fantasy GMs a decent floor, even if it is garbage time production.

Brate scored a touchdown in Week 12, and I like his odds to keep that going against Carolina in Week 13, as Carolina is the second-most generous matchup for tight ends.

I have a decent lineup and I have a fantastic bench. And on that bench is WR Amari Cooper because he has been struggling to score. Amari Cooper goes for a 38 burger and I lose the week.

Callaway enjoyed one of his best outings of the season, reeling in four passes for 62 yards and his third touchdown of the season on five targets. It’s the third time in Callaway’s last four games that he either scored or amassed 50-plus receiving yards.

I've always liked Tevin Coleman's skills, and he's certainly played adequately since running mate Devonta Freeman-- but I'm a bit disappointed that he hasn't taken his production to the next level.

Welcome my fantasy brethren to another edition of The Prognosticator, may it be brief. As mentioned last week, The Progno is away at a family funeral this week. He will be back next week.

Taking the upside into consideration along with the fact that Baker Mayfield is playing better football – throwing multiple touchdowns in four straight outings – leads me to believe he is the best value at quarterback on the slate.

Josh Gordon has started to come into his own as a member of New England. He’s tallied 13 receptions (on 27 targets), 253 receiving yards and a touchdown in the previous three games and just had a bye week to get more in sync with the G.O.A.T.
