    Week 14 didn’t bring us many big names in terms of shaking up the waiver wire, and maybe that’s a good thing. It should mean there was stability for the fantasy relevant players that should continue to be available to you during your playoff pushes. However, one name managed to break out and stand out amongst the pack this week.

     

    Crown Jewel

    Blake Corum, LAR (35%) – Breakout season is upon us, and the second year running back had his biggest game of the year. He nearly split work 50/50 with Kyren Williams, who is managing a minor ankle injury. Should the Rams continue to try and ease his work and save him for the playoffs, Corum could provide a safe floor for your flex. Then again, the game against he Cardinals was a blowout rather quickly, so maybe the Rams were just taking their foot off the gas after a certain point. Either way, Corum has established himself as a high end handcuff who should be rostered. (FAAB: 50%)

     

    Quarterbacks

    Shedeur Sanders, CLE (11%) – I recommended picking him up last week in the waiver column, and he showed out with over 350 passing yards and three touchdowns. We got the notification that he is going to start the rest of the way, and that shouldn’t be a surprise. Chicago is another nice matchup for the rookie 5th rounder to continue to try and prove the doubters wrong. Week 16’s matchup stinks, but a week 17 matchup against the Steelers feels like one of the better ones. (FAAB: 15%)

    JJ McCarthy, MIN (26%) – Just when we all counted him out, he reels us back in with a QB10 performance. He only threw for 163 yards, but managed to tally three touchdown passes on 16-of-23. The Cowboys are up next for the Vikings, and they have been horrendous defending the pass. Now, the Cowboys are a better team overall than the Commanders, so the Vikings offense will need to keep pace with one of the top scoring teams in football. If head ball coach Kevin O’Connell can continue to manage JJM’s turnovers and put him in positive situations, another top ten week could be attainable. And wth the Giants and Lions rounding out the playoff schedule, JJM might be a league winner. (FAAB: 15%)

     

    Running Backs

    Jaylen Wright, MIA (4%) – De’Von Achane hurt his ribs, but it’s unclear if he will miss time.  Either way, Wright is must-grab after breaking out in Week 14.  Wright rushed for a career-high 107 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries and while Achane probably plays in Week 15, he could get hurt again.  The MIA attack is broken, so they will lean on the ground game moving forward.

    Chris Rodriguez, WSH (42%) – Continue to check your wires in case you are in 58% of the leagues where he is available. It’s not flashy, but he is the starting running back and as I wrote last week, that is valuable. The Giants and Cowboys in playoff weeks helps boost his value a bit more as well. (FAAB: 20%)

    Devin Singletary, NYG (33%) – Another guy I wrote about last week is back again. The Giants didn’t play, but we still don’t know if Tyrone Tracy will be ready to roll this weekend versus the Commanders, so Singletary might be the only guy in town with a nice matchup. He should finish inside the top 36 running backs if that is the case. (FAAB: 15%)

     

    Wide Receivers

    Jayden Reed, GB (43%) – In his first game back, he had six touches and looked good. They got him involved early, which was likely intentional, to get him back into the groove. He played in 47% of the snaps, normally sitting between 50-80%. He should continue to get more involved, but the Packers receiver options outside of Reed run deep, so his value the rest of the way may be limited. (FAAB: 25%)

    Ryan Flournoy, DAL (1%) – This one only feels relevant if Ceedee Lamb misses Week 15 after suffering a concussion against the Lions on TNF. He ended up leading the Cowboys in targets (13), receptions (9), and second in receiving yards (115). The Vikings are a tough matchup, but someone will have to step up. I’m not trusting Turpin or Tolbert based on the little to nothing they have provided on the year. (FAAB: 5%)

    Andrei Iosivas, CIN (5%) – With Tee Higgins being placed back in concussion protocol a week after clearing, it would behoove the Bengals to sit him down for a week or two and let himself get right. Iosivas is the next man up. He has just thre games with seven targets this season, which is more than any other Bengal not named Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, or Chase Brown. After scoring six touchdowns last season, that number is down to two this year. Baltimore’s secondary has not been good this season, so there should be room for him to add to that total. (FAAB: 1%)

     

    Tight Ends

    Ben Sinnott, WSH (0%) – Deep leagues be on the lookout. Zach Ertz tore his ACL last week, and it wouldn’t be surprising if that sent the veteran into retirement. Sinnott is a second-year player and was one of the higher regarded tight end prospects coming out of last years draft class. He hasn’t had the opportunity to get a whole lot going, but now there’s a clear vacancy that he has the chance to fill. His primary competition for targets is blocking specialist John Bates. (FAAB: 1%)

    Dalton Schultz, HOU (50%) – Teetering qualifications for this article, Schultz has plated in over 69% of snaps in seven of the last eight games, seeing between 3-10 targets in that timeframe. With four top 10 finishes. The Cardinals are no strangers to giving up top performances to tight ends, so look for Schultz to be fi
