    The Vikings recorded three takeaways and two sacks in the 31-0 win over the Commanders in Week 14.

    Analysis: This looked like the Vikings defense we were promised at the beginning of the year. It has been a fine unit but nothing outstanding, recording 20.8 points allowed per game (12th), 14 takeaways (20th) and 2.5 sacks per game (11th). It will have its hands full in Week 15 versus the Cowboys, who have scored 30-plus points in three of the last four games while recording 29.3 points per game (third) overall this year. QB Dak Prescott has been sacked just 1.8 times per game, but the team has turned the ball over 18 times (23rd). There's some upside here. The risk is too high for typical fantasy leagues, however.

    Tucker failed to secure any of his three targets in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Tucker was held without a catch for the first time all season, despite playing 93 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps, the most of any Las Vegas pass catcher. The 24-year-old wideout has been quiet in recent weeks, failing to score a touchdown or record at least 30 receiving yards since Week 11. Tucker's lack of significant production is directly tied to the Raiders' offensive struggles as a whole, which has limited the upside of most Las Vegas skill position players with the exception of tight end Brock Bowers. The Cincinnati product is best left out of fantasy lineups down the stretch, and he'll have a tough test in Week 16 when the Raiders visit the Texans and their formidable defense.

    Hunry caught one pass (on three targets) for 18 yards during the Patriots' 35-31 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

    Analysis: Drake Maye completed just 14 of 23 passes during Sunday's loss, and Henry's three targets from the second-year quarterback were his lowest since Week 8 against the Browns (one target). Even with the low number of looks, Henry still finished in a three-way tie for the third-most targets on the Patriots behind Mack Hollins (eight) and Stefon Diggs (four). Henry is up to 46 catches (on 72 targets) for 628 yards and five touchdowns through 14 regular-season games, and he's close to surpassing his career high in receiving yards that he set in 2024 (674 yards over 16 regular-season games). His next opportunity to surpass that career-high mark is Week 16 against the Ravens on Sunday, Dec. 21.

    The Panthers recorded two sacks and three takeaways in the 31-28 win over the Rams in Week 14.

    Analysis: The Panthers exceeded expectations in a big way in this matchup, but it's likely not a sign of things to come. The pass rush has struggled all year with just 1.4 sacks per game (31st), but it has added 17 takeaways (10th) while giving up just 22.9 points per game (16th). They will look to keep up their momentum after their bye week in an ideal matchup versus the Saints, who have scored just 15.8 points per game (30th) while giving up a whopping 20 turnovers (29th). Furthermore, Saints QB Tyler Shough has been sacked 3.0 times per start. That provides enough upside to feel comfortable firing up Panthers D/ST this week.

    Taylor rushed 25 times for 87 yards while bringing in three of four targets for 14 receiving yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Since 44-year-old Philip Rivers wasn't able to be a downfield threat in his first start since 2021, he wasn't able to take the pressure off Taylor and Indianapolis' ground game Sunday. Once the Seahawks realized this, the defense was consistently stacking the box against the Colts' top weapon on offense, resulting in a pedestrian mark of 3.5 yards per carry. Taylor suffered a similar fate against Jacksonville in Week 14 after Daniel Jones (Achilles) left the contest, so it may be tough sledding for the superstar running back going forward without the threat of a deep passing attack. The 26-year-old Taylor will receive a heavy workload to help offset the recent drop in efficiency, and a soft matchup against the 49ers' defense next Monday boosts his prospects for Week 16.
