Carter gained 13 yards on three carries and caught two of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 45-17 blowout loss to the Rams.

Fill-in starter Bam Knight (7-18-0) struggled against the Rams' defense, but Carter didn't fare much better in his limited opportunities. The 26-year-old depth piece is averaging just 3.0 yards per carry this season, which puts no pressure on the coaching staff to elevate Carter's role amidst all of Arizona's backfield injuries in 2025. Carter will continue to carry little fantasy value in a brutal matchup against the Texans next Sunday.

Schultz recorded three receptions on four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.

Schultz maintained a significant role in the Houston offense, finishing third on the team in targets behind Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins. Collins was the only Texans pass catcher to reach at least 35 receiving yards, and Schultz was among those to post a muted stat line. He entered the game having topped 50 receiving yards in six of his last eight games, so he should return to better production in Week 15 against Arizona.

Franklin was held to three receptions on four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders.

Franklin continued starting opposite Courtland Sutton (6-62-0), but the former appears to have fallen out of favor after finishing in a tie with Pat Bryant (4-32-0) for third in team targets. The 22-year-old Franklin is averaging 2.5 receptions and 11.0 yards in the two games coming out of Denver's Week 12 bye. Franklin's volatility on a week-to-week basis makes the wideout hard to trust outside of deeper fantasy formats against the Packers next Sunday.

Fairbairn went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and made both of his PATs in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.

Fairbairn connected on a 35-yard field goal in the first quarter before later adding a 28-yarder in the fourth quarter, notching his eighth straight contest with at least two field-goal makes. The kicker has been an elite option for fantasy managers this season, going 29-for-32 on field-goal tries, including 5-for-8 from 50-plus yards, over 11 games.

Marks rushed the ball 26 times for 68 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs. He added two receptions on three targets for eight yards and a touchdown.

Marks was already well on his way to taking over the Houston backfield, but he had the chance to handle the entire workload after Nick Chubb suffered an injury to his ribs early in the second quarter. While it was an inefficient showing against a tough defense, Marks topped 20 carries for the first time in his rookie campaign, helping him reach at least 60 rushing yards for the fifth time in his last seven games. He also made the most of his work as a pass catcher, recording a nine-yard touchdown reception early in the second quarter. Marks missed out on the chance for an additional score after he was forced off the field due to an injury midway through the fourth quarter, giving Dare Ogunbwale a goal-line carry. While Marks hasn't been overly efficient, he has earned at least 16 carries in each of his last four games, and his role would only become more secure if Chubb is forced to miss additional time.

Moody did not attempt a field goal or an extra-point try in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings.

Moody was blanked along with his team in Week 14, failing to attempt a kick for the first time over five contests with the 49ers, Bears and Commanders this year. The kicker will look to break a sweat in Week 15 against the Giants.

Kelce was held to one catch on five targets for eight yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Texans.

Kelce was completely eliminated from Sunday's game plan, as he was held by Houston's dominant secondary to a season-low one reception. The Chiefs committed six drops altogether on Sunday Night Football, but none stood out more than the star tight end's late bobble that landed safely in the hands of the defense on his team's second-to-last possession. Kelce has provided fantasy managers with consistent weekly production outside of Sunday's dud, so a bounce-back outing could be in order against the Chargers next Sunday.

Ryland went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made both of his PATs in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Rams.

Ryland was able to connect on a 38-yard field goal in the second quarter before later missing a 63-yard try wide right as time expired in the first half. The kicker has now missed at least one field-goal attempt in four consecutive contests, though you can't necessarily fault him for Sunday's miss. Ryland has gone 4-for-8 on field-goal tries, including 1-for-3 from 50-plus yards, over the last four games, and he'll look to get back on track in Week 15 against the Texans.

Rice had four receptions on eight targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to Houston.

Rice struggled with drops on Sunday Night Football, finishing with his worst catch rate (50 percent) through seven starts this season. Kansas City's top wideout still led the club in targets, but the offense simply ran into the buzzsaw that is the Texans' defense in 2025. Rice is still putting together a dominant fantasy campaign in a suspension-shortened season, sporting a 46-520-5 receiving line across seven games. Fantasy managers should continue starting Rice with confidence in next Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.

Stroud completed 15 of 31 passes for 203 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs. He added two rushes for five yards.

Stroud led the Texans to consecutive scoring drives late in the first quarter and into the second quarter, during which he completed long passes of 46 and 53 yards while also capping a touchdown drive with a nine-yard pass to Woody Marks. He didn't muster much production thereafter, as Houston's only additional score came on a short field as the result of a turnover of downs by Kansas City. Positively, Stroud did not turn the ball over and helped Houston continue to surge toward a playoff spot, though he has only one total touchdown in two games since returning from a concussion.
