Week 15 Sleepers & Emerging Players
Week 15 Sleepers, Potential-Emergent Players, and Opportunistic Plays This article is contributed by Brad Kruse This column is NOT intended to provide Week 15 Waiver Wire claims lists. Instead, the purpose is to look at young players whose opportunity could emerge and should be monitored. I will also look at potential injury replacement players, but I will try not to focus on the obvious choices for this week’s slate of games as that is covered elsewhere on the sight. My goal is to help look around corners for the season which might give ideas for pre-emptive adds to your roster with Week 15 Sleepers & Emerging Players. This week, I will focus exclusively on the young receivers and review their performance using targets per route run and yards per route run metrics. The list below must include a minimum of ten targets. Young Breakout Receivers (through Week 14) The above table looks at all first and second-year WRs with at least 15% targets per route run (TPRR) and 1.5 yards per route run (YPRR) through ten weeks this year. Below are comments on players who stood out in Week 13. Second Year Players Puka Nacua: Nacua again is at the top of the list for first or second-year players. He collected twelve receptions on 14 targets for 162 yards and a touchdown. That was good for 41.8 fantasy points, 56% targets per route run (TPRR), and 6.5 yards per route run (YPRR). He is at the top of the list in YTD TPRR and YPRR rankings with 38% and 3.6 respectively. Dontayvion Wicks: Wicks was an efficiency darling in 2023 but has had a difficult sophomore campaign. However, he was very efficient on his 18 routes this week. He collected five targets resulting in four receptions for 49 yards and no touchdowns. That was good for a 28% TPRR and 2.7 YPRR. His utilization has declined, but if he could get full-time usage with that efficiency, he would return to relevance. Quentin Johnston: Johnston put up another solid week in his bounce-back season. Johnston earned seven targets for five receptions and 79 scoreless yards. That resulted in 26% TPRR and 1.8 YPRR. For the season, Johnston has 21% TPRR and 1.7 YPRR. Those are right at the numbers needed to build on to become a strong receiver in a full-time role. Jordan Addison: Addison was one of the stars this week. He was a big part of a heavy pass attack. His fantasy day was helped by a couple of short-yardage touchdowns. But you cannot argue with his earning twelve targets resulting in eight receptions for 133 yards and three touchdowns. That brought his YTD performance to 21% TPRR and 2.2 YPRR. Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Smith-Njigba is putting up fantasy numbers weekly at this point. His efficiency was mixed as he caught all five of his targets for 82 yards and one touchdown. That was a 19% TPRR and 3.2 YPRR performance on the week. That brought his YTD performance to 22% TPRR and 2.0 YPRR. He is another bounce-back first round receiver from 2023. Rookies Brian Thomas: Thomas is always dangerous. This week he earned twelve targets and caught eight of them for 86 yards. That resulted in a 36% TPRR and 2.6 YPRR. Both of those metrics are strong. During the year, Thomas earned 24% TPRR and 2.4 YPRR. He is another strong receiver from this rookie class. Malik Nabers: Nabers played through another questionable tag as he battles his nagging groin injury. But, for the week, he earned 10 targets resulting in five receptions for 79 yards. He put in somewhat of a floor day with 20% TPRR and 1.6 YPRR bringing his YTD performance to 30% TPRR and 2.0 YPRR. His numbers have decayed over the weeks. He is still a very consistent performer, but his explosive games have eluded him of late. However, that could improve with Tommy DeVito back under center. Jalen McMillan: McMillan has been quiet for most of the year, but he jumped out this week with four receptions on seven targets for 59 yards and two touchdowns. That resulted in a 26% TPRR and 2.2 YPRR. He needs to continue this performance for us to buy into it being a breakout, but he deserves mention for the solid week. ENTER OUR WEEK 15 DRAFT CONTEST!

Injury Report: Week 15
Injury Report: Week 15 Congratulations on making it to the fantasy football playoffs. Staying abreast of the latest injury news and how it impacts your roster is more important than ever. Our Injury Report: Week 15 will update you on the latest NFL injury news. Also, bookmarking our NFL Injury Report is a great way to stay updated on the latest injuries. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! George Pickens (WR) Pittsburgh Steelers – Pickens suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain in practice last Friday. He missed Week 14 and his practice status will need to be monitored this week. Proactive fantasy managers should plan to be without Pickens this week. Kenneth Walker (RB) Seattle Seahawks – A calf injury caused Walker to miss last week. It’s worrisome that the Seahawks are seeking more tests to determine the severity of the ailment. If Walker misses another week, Zach Charbonnet offers league-winning upside. Isaac Guerendo (RB) San Francisco 49ers – Another week, another injured San Francisco running back. There is some hope that Guerendo can play this week. However, with the Niners due up on Thursday, it will be tough. UPDATE: Guerendo did NOT practice Tuesday. 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said RB Isaac Guerendo has a foot sprain and the team will “evaluate him over the next few days, to see if he’ll have a shot” to play Thursday night versus the Rams. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 9, 2024 Bucky Irving (RB) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – A back injury forced Irving to miss most of Sunday’s win. Irving is questionable to play in Week 15 but his practice participation will be telling. For now, we don’t expect Irving to play, which will increase the touches for Rachaad White and Sean Tucker. Ladd McConkey (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – A shoulder injury resulted in McConkey missing Sunday night’s game with the Chiefs. However, there were reports that it was a minor injury and McConkey was close to playing. We will update his availability throughout the week. Jonathon Brooks (RB) Carolina Panthers – Unfortunately, Brooks tore the same ACL that he injured last year. This will end his rookie season and undoubtedly will cause him to miss at least half of 2025. Derek Carr (QB) New Orleans Saints – Carr broke his left (non-throwing) hand and is expected to miss several weeks. His absence will hurt the Saints’ offense. Zamir White (RB) Las Vegas Raiders – The Raiders put Whtie (quad) on IR, ending his fantasy season. Dalton Kincaid (TE) Buffalo Bills – Kincaid (knee) was able to practice in a limited capacity last week, so there is growing optimism that he will return to action in Week 15 in Detroit. Will Dissly (TE) Los Angeles Chargers – Dissly will miss multiple weeks with a shoulder injury. Stone Smartt will see a boost in opportunities while Dissly is sidelined. Romeo Doubs (WR) Green Bay Packers – Doubs is still in the NFL’s concussion protocol. Cedric Tillman (WR) Cleveland Browns – Tillman also remains in the league’s concussion protocol. Keon Coleman (WR) Buffalo Bills – A wrist injury forced Coleman to miss another game but he is “trending in the right direction” for the fantasy playoffs. Demarcus Robinson (WR) Los Angeles Rams – A shoulder sprain is likely to cause Robinson to miss Thursday’s game. Aidan O’Connell (QB) Las Vegas Raiders – Good news: O’Connell was diagnosed with a bone bruise after he was carted off the field in Week 14. However, Antonio Pierce has already named Desmond Ridder as the Raider’s Week 15 starter, so O’Connell will miss at least one week. Raheem Blackshear (RB) Carolina Panthers – Day-to-day with a chest injury. ENTER OUR WEEK 15 DRAFT CONTEST! How it Works: Firstly, draft your team using our On-Demand Simulator.

Waiver Wire: Week 15
Waiver Wire: Week 15 The 2024 season will go down as one of the most challenging campaigns on record. Reading a Waiver Wire: Week 15 piece means you’ve survived the gauntlet and made the playoffs. Congratulations! You deserve major credit
The 2024 season will go down as one of the most challenging campaigns on record. Reading a Waiver Wire: Week 15 piece means you’ve survived the gauntlet and made the playoffs. Congratulations! You deserve major credit for overcoming all the obstacles this season presented.
Making the playoffs is a major accomplishment. However, now is not the time to overthink. Especially in terms of reinforcing a roster that was good enough to survive a crazy 14 weeks.
Stick with what has been working and who got you here. But, if you need to reinforce your roster for the tournament, our Waiver Wire: Week 15 has you covered.
Along with knowing who to pick up, FullTime Fantasy‘s Matchup Analyzer Tool will help you get the most out of your lineup.
Week 15 BYES: NONE
Sincere McCormick (RB) Las Vegas Raiders – McCormick got his second straight start and looked good. He has averaged over five yards per carry in all three games. In Week 14, he logged 18 opportunities, resulting in 10.9 PPR points. The potential return of Alexander Mattison complicates the Raiders’ backfield. However, McCormick has played well enough to retain a significant role.
Ray-Ray McCloud (WR) Atlanta Falcons – With another 11 targets, McCloud scored a season-high 18.1 fantasy points on Sunday. He has now surpassed 10 fantasy points in…

Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 14
Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 14 With the playoffs looming, Week 14 might be the most critical slate of the fantasy football season, especially with six teams on a bye. Every lineup decision could make or break your championship dreams, and the margins for error are razor-thin. FullTime’s Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 14 will help you make the right choices this week. Week 14 is pivotal; navigating these start/sit decisions can make all the difference. Prioritize players with favorable matchups and avoid tempting options facing daunting defenses. Good luck securing your playoff spot! Subsequently, our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 14 will help you navigate that turbulence to pick a winning lineup this week. Additionally, FullTime Fantasy has some of the top tools of the trade and accurate rankings. Quarterbacks Start ‘Em Sam Darnold, Minnesota Vikings vs. Falcons Sam Darnold has quietly evolved into one of the most reliable fantasy QBs this season. Since Week 2, he’s topped 18 fantasy points in all but three contests.. Over his past six games, he’s thrown multiple touchdowns in five, adding a modest rushing boost with an average of 20 yards per game—equivalent to a valuable 50 passing yards. This week, Darnold faces an Atlanta Falcons defense that ranks among the top eight in passing touchdowns allowed. He’s a steady, high-floor option in a week lacking many dependable quarterback plays. Will Levis, Tennessee Titans vs. Jaguars Will Levis struggled early in the season, facing some of the NFL’s toughest pass defenses. After missing time due to injury, he’s looked steady since returning in Week 10, averaging 17.3 fantasy points per game over the past month. While that may seem average, it’s worth noting that Levis hasn’t yet had the luxury of facing a bottom-tier defense—until now. The Jaguars have allowed the most fantasy points to QBs this year, with a league-low coverage grade. Nearly every quarterback to face Jacksonville has thrown for at least 220 yards, and most have added multiple scores. Levis carries some risk due to a lack of ceiling games, but this matchup sets the stage for a potential breakout. Sit ‘Em Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins vs. Jets Tua Tagovailoa has been on fire in recent weeks, but the New York Jets defense is an entirely different beast. They’ve allowed the second-fewest passing yards and just nine passing touchdowns this season, the lowest in the league. Tua’s struggles against New York are well-documented, with just one touchdown pass and fewer than 250 passing yards in each of his two matchups last year. This is not the week to trust him in your starting lineup. Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals vs. Seahawks Kyler Murray hasn’t looked like himself in recent weeks, and Week 14 presents another tough challenge. The Seahawks have held opposing quarterbacks to just eight passing touchdowns over their past six games while forcing seven interceptions. Murray struggled against Seattle in Week 12, scoring just 10.3 fantasy points. Given the matchup, he’s a low-end option at best this week. Running Backs Start ‘Em Isaac Guerendo, San Francisco 49ers vs. Bears With Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason sidelined for the foreseeable future, Isaac Guerendo is the next man up in San Francisco. While the team bolstered their depth by claiming Israel Abanikanda and signing Ke’Shawn Vaughn to the practice squad, Guerendo is set to handle the majority of work in Week 14. The Bears boast a strong run defense on paper but have allowed enough explosive plays to rank in the bottom eight for rushing yards allowed. With the 49ers as home favorites, expect Guerendo to see a ton of carries and have a chance to break off a few big runs. Tony Pollard, Tennessee Titans vs. Jaguars Tony Pollard’s recent performances have been underwhelming, scoring fewer than 10.3 PPR points in three of his last four outings. However, he’s primed for a bounce-back in Week 14 against Jacksonville. The Jaguars rank second in most fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, surrendering over 740 yards and six total touchdowns to backfields in their last four games. Pollard has struggled against tough defenses this year, but this matchup is a golden opportunity for him to get back on track. Consider him a must-start. Sit ‘Em Chuba Hubbard, Carolina Panthers vs. Eagles Chuba Hubbard has been a steady presence in Carolina’s backfield, but Week 14 brings a tough test. The Eagles’ run defense ranks among the league’s best, allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to running backs. They’ve been especially stingy in recent weeks, giving up only four touchdowns to the position all season. Hubbard’s workload has also taken a hit, with just 12 carries for 43 yards and no targets in Week 13. With Jonathon Brooks emerging as a factor in the backfield and a likely negative game script against the Eagles, Hubbard is best left on your bench. Gus Edwards, Los Angeles Chargers vs. Chiefs The “Gus Bus” hit a speed bump in Week 13, playing just 52% of snaps and managing a meager seven touches for 33 yards. Without J.K. Dobbins, Edwards hasn’t capitalized on increased opportunities, and he faces a brutal matchup this week against the Chiefs. Kansas City has allowed the fewest fantasy points to running backs this season, including a league-low rate of explosive runs. With limited volume and little chance of finding the end zone, Edwards isn’t a viable option in Week 14. Wide Receivers Start ‘Em Deebo Samuel, San Francisco 49ers vs. Bears It’s been a rough stretch for Deebo Samuel, who has dealt with injuries and poor production, logging fewer than 25 receiving yards in three straight games. With Christian McCaffrey sidelined, however, Samuel should see a significant uptick in targets and rushing opportunities. His short-yardage role makes him a great fit against the Bears’ zone-heavy defense, which ranks seventh in zone coverage frequency. Look for Deebo to regain his fantasy relevance in a week where he’ll be heavily involved in both the passing and running games.
Week 14 Sleepers & Emerging Players
Week 14 Sleepers, Potential-Emergent Players, and Opportunistic Plays This article is contributed by Brad Kruse This column is NOT intended to provide Week 14 Waiver Wire claims lists. Instead, the purpose is to look at young players whose opportunity could emerge and should be monitored. I will also look at potential injury replacement players, but I will try not to focus on the obvious choices for this week’s slate of games as that is covered elsewhere on the sight. My goal is to help look around corners for the season which might give ideas for pre-emptive adds to your roster. This week I will focus exclusively on the young receivers and review how they have performed using targets per route run and yards per route run metrics. A minimum of ten targets is required to be included in the list below. Young Breakout Receivers (through Week 13) The above table looks at all first and second-year WRs that have at least 15% targets per route run (TPRR) and 1.5 Yards per route run (YPRR) through ten weeks this year. Below are comments on players who stood out in Week 13. Second-Year Players Puka Nacua: Nacua continues to be a star as he recorded a 38% targets per route run (TPRR) performance this week while collecting five receptions on eight targets for 56 yards and a touchdown. For the year, which gives him 35% TPRR and 3.2 yards per route run (YPRR). He is an elite performer. Parker Washington: Washington deserves mention this week with twelve targets and six receptions for 103 yards and one touchdown. That is a 31% TPRR and 3.2 YPRR score. For the year, Washington has only recorded a 16% TPRR and 1.2 YPRR. As a predominantly low average depth of target (aDOT) receiver, his yards aren’t typically as strong as his target share. Rookies Ladd McConkey: McConkey was truly a star in a low-volume attack. He collected twelve targets recording nine receptions for 117 scoreless yards. That represented a 48% TPRR and 4.7 YPRR. That moves his YTD performance to 25% TPRR and 2.5 YPRR. He has been one of the top-performing rookies this year, if not the top. Brian Thomas: Thomas is always dangerous. This week he earned ten targets and caught four of them for 76 yards and a touchdown. That was worth a 28% TPRR and 2.1 YPRR. Both of those metrics are solid despite the low catch rate. During the year, Thomas has earned a 23% TPRR and 2.4 YPRR. He is another strong receiver from this rookie class. Malik Nabers: Nabers is another frequently mentioned receiver in this column. This week he caught eight of his thirteen targets for 69 scoreless yards. That was good for a 36% TPRR and 1.9 YPRR. He is not found the endzone as much as his fantasy owners would like with only three touchdowns this year. However, his YTD 32% TPRR and 2.0 YPRR still are great performances for a rookie. He will again be a high draft pick next year in fantasy drafts. Xavier Worthy: Worthy gets a mention this week as he is starting to figure more into the Chief’s offense. He earned seven targets resulting in five receptions for 54 yards. That represented a 21% TPRR and 1.6 YPRR. He has not had the rookie season many fantasy managers envisioned. His season total of 17% TPRR and 1.2 YPRR still makes him a difficult start each week. ENTER OUR WEEK 14 DRAFT CONTEST! How it Works: First, you draft your team using our On-Demand Simulator.

Injury Report: Week 14
Injury Report: Week 14 This is it. For most fantasy leagues, Week 14 is the final regular-season week. This is your last chance to secure a playoff spot. That means this is must-win territory and the Injury Report: Week 14 is a good place to start when deciding how to fortify your roster for the postseason. Also, a great starting point for staying updated on the latest injuries is to bookmark our NFL Injury Report. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Week 14 BYES: Baltimore, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, New England, Washington Christian McCaffrey (RB) San Francisco 49ers – A lost season for the No. 1 overall pick is now over as McCaffrey tore his PCL. If you drafted CMC and still made the playoffs, you deserve a hat tip. However, you will have to continue to persevere without him. Jordan Mason (RB) San Francisc0 49ers – Another big blow for San Francisco’s backfield, Mason suffered a high-ankle sprain in Buffalo and was placed on IR. The earlier he will return in Week 17. Issac Guerendo becomes the top Week 14 waiver wire add to target with the Niners down their top two running backs. CeeDee Lamb (WR) Dallas Cowboys – Lamb re-injured his AC joint during the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving win. We will monitor his practice status throughout the week and update Discord. Ladd McConkey (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – McConkey is dealing with a “mild” MCL sprain that could limit him for 1-2 weeks. We will monitor his practice status all week. Taysom Hill (TE) New Orleans Saints – A torn ACL ended Hill’s season in Week 13. DeVonta Smith (WR) Philadelphia Eagles – Smith (hamstring) was close to playing last Sunday but was ultimately held out. Early expectations are that he will play against the Panthers. However, with a game that the Eagles are favored to win by nearly two touchdowns, there is a risk that Smith won’t run a full allotment of snaps. Therefore, he’s a risk/reward start in Week 14. Josh Downs (WR) Indianapolis Colts – The Colts are off this week but we got good news for Downs’s (shoulder) Week 15 availability. Colts coach Shane Steichen unsure if WR Josh Downs (shoulder) will be ready for Week 15 game vs. Broncoshttps://t.co/lbegO7iytI pic.twitter.com/MEdXEySRtU — Around The NFL (@AroundTheNFL) December 2, 2024 Romeo Doubs (WR) Green Bay Packers – Doubs missed Week 13 with a concussion but was a limited participant on Tuesday. The Packers play on Thursday again this week, so Doubs’ status will be updated in Discord. UPDATE: Ruled OUT. Trevor Lawrence (QB) Jacksonville Jaguars – A vicious late hit gave Lawrence a severe concussion during Jacksonville’s loss to Houston. At 2-10 and looking at a new regime next year, there is no reason for the Jaguars to trot out Lawrence again this season. UPDATE: Lawrence to IR. Brock Purdy (QB) San Francisco 49ers– More bad news for the ailing 49ers. Purdy is limited by an injured right (throwing) shoulder. With San Francisco collapsing from the playoff hunt, seeing the team shut Purdy down wouldn’t be a shock. For now, he’s a risky QB2. Zamir White (RB) Las Vegas Raiders – A quad injury has cost White two games. Teammate Alexander Mattison is also ailing but was closer to playing last week. Roschon Johnson (RB) Chicago Bears – Johnson exited Week 13 with a concussion. He must clear the NFL’s protocol before he can return. Most players miss at least one week. However, Johnson will have a few extra days to clear since his head injury occurred early on Thursday. Calvin Austin (WR) Pittsburgh Steelers – Austin is also in the NFL’s concussion protocol. Tommy DeVito (QB) New York Giants – DeVito missed Thursday’s tilt with a forearm injury. Drew Lock performed well enough as New York’s starter that we’re expecting Lock to retain that job. Regardless, the starting QB in New York has marginal Superflex value at best. D.J. Turner (WR) Las Vegas Raiders – Expect Tuner to miss significant time. UPDATE: Turner was placed on IR. DJ Turner – Left knee hyperextension with varus stress. Concern for multiligament injury including LCL, as well as concern for hamstring tear. He was having trouble placing weight through his leg once helped up by the trainers. pic.twitter.com/p5W5sE4dcN — Jeff Mueller, PT, DPT (@jmthrivept) November 29, 2024 ENTER OUR WEEK 14 DRAFT CONTEST!
