- π‘ Heath Cummings had a strong Week 14, advancing in most leagues, but benched Deebo Samuel in favor of Miles Sanders, a decision that hurt but didn't prevent playoff advancement.
- π― Dave Richard faced several nail-biters, including a close matchup where he started Ezekiel Elliott over Miles Sanders, and is navigating dynasty and league championships.
- π Alvin Kamara was a pleasant surprise with 10 targets and 7 catches, showing increased involvement in the passing game.
- π Jonathan Taylor emerged as a pleasant surprise, showing growing confidence and increased usage by the Colts, with discussions already starting about his 2021 draft value.
Week 14 Disappointments & Surprises
- β οΈ Miles Sanders was a significant disappointment for many, despite an 82-yard touchdown run, due to inconsistent usage and a low yard-per-carry average.
- π Ezekiel Elliott is a major disappointment, splitting touches with Tony Pollard and facing tough run defenses in upcoming weeks, making him difficult to trust.
- π€ Devante Parker, DeVante Adams, Mike Gesicki, and Kyle Pitts all left games with injuries, impacting fantasy teams.
- π T.Y. Hilton is highlighted as a must-start receiver for Week 15 against Houston, given his past success against them and chemistry with Philip Rivers.
Believe It or Not: Bold Predictions
- π€ Mitchell Trubisky is presented as a potential top-10 fantasy quarterback for the rest of the season, with a favorable schedule, though starting him against Deshaun Watson remains a risky proposition.
- π― T.Y. Hilton is deemed a must-start receiver for Week 15 against Houston, with a case for being a top-12 option due to his history and chemistry with Philip Rivers.
- πββοΈ Jalen Hurts is credited with saving the Eagles' offense and Miles Sanders, though Sanders is not automatically considered a top-12 running back again.
