ESPN fantasy ownership: 0.0%

Week 14 stats: 195 passing yards, one passing touchdown, 45 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown — 24.3 fantasy points

One thing to know: If you're still alive in fantasy, chances are you have a better option at quarterback. But just in case you're in a two-quarterback league, or an untimely injury happens between now and Sunday, Josh Johnson was the third-highest scoring quarterback in fantasy this week and did so despite not taking the field until late in the third quarter.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 56.2%

Week 14 stats: 238 rushing yards, four touchdowns — 47.8 fantasy points

One thing to know: The top add this week, Derrick Henry ruined plenty of fantasy players days last week, though most owners left him benched. While there is no chance he'll have another day as big as his four-touchdown explosion on Thursday, it is clear that Henry has something to offer for those still alive in their leagues.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 14%

Week 14 stats: 14 rushing yards, four receptions, 16 receiving yards, two touchdowns — 19 fantasy points

One thing to know: After Spencer Ware briefly left Sunday's game, the Chiefs turned to Damien Williams at running back, and he answered the call with confidence. Ware is likely still the top guy, but with Kansas City still adjusting since the departure of Kareem Hunt, it's possible that Williams gets more looks moving forward.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 11.3%

Week 14 stats: 60 rushing yards, three receptions, 23 receiving yards, one touchdown — 17.3 fantasy points

One thing to know: Jets running back Isaiah Crowell exited the game with an injury Sunday, leaving Elijah McGuire to pick up the slack. Should Crowell's injury keep him out next week, McGuire will have plenty of value as the Jets top back against the Texans.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 4.8%

Week 14 stats: Three receptions, 34 receiving yards, one touchdown — 12.6 fantasy points

One thing to know: Darren Sproles didn't see a ton of action on Sunday, but with Corey Clement adding himself to the long list of Eagles running back injuries, his workload is likely to increase next week.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 25.7%

Week 14 stats: Eight receptions, 135 receiving yards, one touchdown — 27.5 fantasy points

One thing to know: Kenny Stills has been relatively quiet this season, but showed he still has the potential for a game-changing fantasy day with his huge performance against the Patriots on Sunday. He's available in a ton of leagues but does have some tough matchups coming up, with the Vikings and Jaguars next on his schedule.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 27.9%

Week 14 stats: Seven receptions, 88 receiving yards, one touchdown — 21.8 fantasy points

One thing to know: Dede Westbrook appears to have found a rhythm with Cody Kessler after a few games together, and should have a good chance at another big day next week with Washington playing the Jaguars in Jacksonville.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 5.5%

Week 14 stats: Seven receptions, 47 receiving yards, one touchdown — 17.7 fantasy points

One thing to know: The Denver Broncos lost Emmanuel Sanders for the rest of the season to an Achilles injury, giving DaeSean Hamilton the chance to step into the role of top receiver. He has seven catches on nine targets on Sunday and has remaining games against the Browns and Raiders.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 14.7%

Week 14 stats: Four receptions, 76 receiving yards, one touchdown — 17.6 fantasy points

One thing to know: Robby Anderson has largely been a disappointment this season, but had one of his best games of the year against the Bills on Sunday. With seven targets, he is a part of the Jets' game plan but is likely a desperation move for your fantasy team.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 25.5%

Week 14 stats: Nine receptions, 77 receiving yards — 16.7 fantasy points

One thing to know: Greg Olsen may be gone, but the Panthers offense is still working to get the ball to their tight end. With nine receptions on Sunday, Ian Thomas is a great addition for PPR players.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 2.2%

Week 14 stats: Four receptions, 44 receiving yards, one touchdown — 14.4 fantasy points

One thing to know: While Zach Ertz is the top guy in the Eagles' pass game, Goedert has consistently gotten red zone looks for Philadelphia and would have scored twice on Sunday if not for a questionable penalty bringing his 75-yard touchdown back late in the fourth quarter.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 16%

Week 14 stats: 16 points against, three interceptions, five sacks, one touchdown — 20 fantasy points

One thing to know: The Giants have been one of the top two defenses in fantasy for two straight weeks now, and next week they face the Titans, who have been far from consistent when it comes to scoring.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 24.4%

Week 14 stats: Three points against, one interception, three sacks, one touchdown — 17 fantasy points

One thing to know: The Lions defense has been solid for three weeks now, and heads to Buffalo next Sunday. If you're streaming defenses for the postseason, Detroit is worth a look.
