  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Efficient in two-way role Monday

    Achane rushed 12 times for 60 yards and brought in all six targets for 67 yards in the Dolphins' 28-15 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.

    Achane led the Dolphins in both rushing and receiving yards on the night, with his pass-catching work taking center stage in the second half due to Miami's deficit. His rushing workload bumped up by five carries over Week 14 against the Jets, a contest that he left early due to a rib injury, and his receiving yardage total was his second highest of the season behind only his 92-yard effort Week 2 against the Patriots. Achane should remain virtually game-script-proof in a Week 16 home matchup against the Bengals on Sunday.

  • Steelers' Kenneth Gainwell: Pops off for 126 yards Monday

    Gainwell took 13 carries for 80 yards and caught all seven of his targets for 46 yards in Monday's 28-15 win over the Dolphins.

    Gainwell surprised national viewers by finishing Monday's game as the leading rusher ahead of Miami's De'Von Achane (12-60-0). The 26-year-old Gainwell reached double-digit carries for just the third time this season, with his extra touches coming at the expense of starter Jaylen Warren (12-33-0), who was battling an illness leading up to the contest. Gainwell's rushing production is too volatile to make him a reliable contributor in standard fantasy formats, but his 4.1 catches per game make him a viable PPR option.

  • Steelers' Chris Boswell: Converts four PATs in Week 15 win

    Boswell didn't try a field goal and made all four of his extra-point attempts in Monday's 28-15 win over the Dolphins.

    Pittsburgh's offense was quiet in the first half but was able to squeeze out a touchdown with under 20 seconds remaining before halftime. Boswell punched through the point-after and then hit three more in the second half as the Steelers got into the end zone with more ease. Boswell hasn't had a field-goal try in three of his past four games, so fantasy managers in leagues that count kicking may want to look in a different direction.

  • Steelers' Darnell Washington: Reels in three passes Monday

    Washington caught three of his four targets for 25 yards in Monday's 28-15 win over Miami.

    Washington was able to clear the protocol for head injuries and play Monday after sustaining a concussion Week 14 against the Ravens. The tight end secured multiple passes for the fourth time in five games and the eighth time overall this year. Washington has now caught 26 of 37 targets for 288 yards and a touchdown over 14 contests this season.

  • Pat Freiermuth TE | PIT

    Steelers' Pat Freiermuth: Three catches Monday

    Freiermuth caught three of five targets for 45 yards in Monday's 28-15 win over the Dolphins.

    Freiermuth was able to reel in three or more passes for the eighth time this season while his five targets and 45 receiving yards were his highest marks since Week 7. The tight end has had limited production this season like many of the Steelers' pass-catchers while splitting time at his position with Darnell Washington, Jonnu Smith and Connor Heyward. Freiermuth will look to build off of Monday's performance when the team travels to face the Lions in Week 16.

  • Browns' Carson Schwesinger: Logs another big tackle total

    Schwesinger notched 14 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's blowout loss to the Bears.

    Schwesinger paced the Browns in tackles in a losing effort. The rookie continued to deal with an ankle issue during the week but played every defensive snap for Cleveland and finished with a career-high tackle total. Schwesinger continues to be a standout IDP performer in fantasy circles, as he's now posted double-digit stops in six straight games.

  • Jeremy Chinn SAF | LV

    Raiders' Jeremy Chinn: Limited production in Week 15

    Chinn recorded three total tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 31-0 loss to Philadelphia.

    Chinn was limited throughout the week with a back issue ahead of Week 15, and his production may have taken a hit as result of the injury. The safety had combined to compile 28 total stops, including 1.0 sacks, over the team's previous two contests. On the year, Chinn is now up to 107 total tackles (60 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed and two forced fumbles over 14 games this season.

  • Raiders' Isaiah Pola-Mao: Secures 10 tackles in loss

    Pola-Mao compiled 10 total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Eagles.

    Pola-Mao was able to reach double-digit stops for the second time this season, finishing second on the team in takedowns behind linebacker Devin White (16). The safety has now registered 80 total tackles (50 solo) and three passes defensed, including two interceptions, over 14 contests this year.

  • Myles Garrett LB | LAR

    Browns' Myles Garrett: Inches closer to sacks record

    Garrett logged four tackles, including 1.5 sacks, in a Week 15 loss to Chicago.

    The Browns were blown out Sunday, but Garrett continued his dominant campaign. He notched a solo sack of Caleb Williams in the second quarter and added a split sack early in the fourth. Garrett has at least 1.0 sacks in eight straight games and has registered a mind-blowing 17.5 sacks over that span. With 21.5 sacks on the season, he's just 1.0 sacks short of tying the all-time NFL single season record that's shared by Michael Strahan and T.J. Watt.

  • Devin White LB | DET

    Raiders' Devin White: Notches 16 takedowns in loss

    White recorded 16 total tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Eagles.

    White continued his impressive campaign in Las Vegas, securing double-digit stops for the third game in a row and seventh time overall this year. The linebacker has now registered a career-high 149 total tackles (81 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed, one of which is an interception, and a forced fumble over 14 contests.
