What's the biggest fantasy storyline I'm tracking for each Sunday team? For those of you who are playoff-bound, which player values are primed to spike or regress after tomorrow?
Titans -- Will Levis has battled heavy headwinds this year to prove he deserves the starting job in 2025 and beyond. Admittedly, I'd given up on him. Now I'm starting him in a win-or-go-home week. Let's see if his momentum continues.
Jaguars -- Is any Jacksonville RB worth starting in even the deepest leagues -- not just tomorrow, but for the rest of the season?
Dolphins -- In the last three weeks, Jonnu Smith has compiled a 25-301-3 receiving line. Defenses can't easily cheat with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle flying across the field. Miami's journeyman tight end has a legit chance at finishing the season as the overall TE2.
Jets -- At what point will most/all of the Jets' top playmakers be worthless (i.e. inactive)?
Vikings -- Sam Darnold has hit 19+ fantasy points in seven of 12 games. Only Lamar Jackson, Jayden Daniels, and Josh Allen have scored 19+ more frequently.
Falcons -- Is there a loud clock ticking on Kirk Cousins' starting job?
Giants -- Malik Nabers hasn't scored since Week 3. It's hard to be a no-brainer weekly starter if you're not scoring, even with a high target share.
Saints -- Who will be Derek Carr's most-targeted receiver?
Eagles -- A.J. Brown has scored only once in his last six games, and he's being targeted at career-low levels. While managers normally wouldn't consider benching him under any circumstances, it's nevertheless concerning that he hasn't stepped up more, especially when teammates DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert have battled injuries.
Panthers -- Will Jonathon Brooks continue to push for a timeshare with Chuba Hubbard?
Steelers -- Pat Freiermuth has been hearing up just a bit. After a huge letdown for a season-and-a-half, is he back to being a decent streamer?
Browns -- At what point will Cleveland give more work to Jerome Ford?
Buccaneers -- With Bucky Irving questionable at best, Rachaad White is in a great position versus Vegas to win back momentum.
Raiders -- Will Sincere McCormick remain in the backfield rotation regardless of who's active?
Cardinals -- James Conner has never been healthy enough to start more than 13 games in a season. Tomorrow marks his 13th start.
Seahawks -- Kenneth Walker busted out with 116 total yards and three TDs in Week 4. Since then, he's carried the ball 113 times for 359 yards (3.2 YPC). At what point will Zach Charbonnet's 4-6 touches per game grow into, say, 8-10?
Rams -- Blake Corum put a scare in fantasy managers last weekend. While Kyren Williams took over beginning in the second quarter, it's a warning sign.
Bills -- Amari Cooper has been scoreless in all but two contests this year, and he's caught more than four passes only once.
49ers -- The age of Isaac Guerendo has begun, or something like that. He has a few weeks to earn a coveted handcuff role behind the aging CMC next fall.
Bears -- D'Andre Swift has too much guaranteed money to be cut after this season. In fairness, he hasn't been that bad. But with a questionable tag, and in a questionably capable offense, he's one of those "I need to start him, but wish I didn't have to" RBs.
Chiefs -- Will Isiah Pacheco be turned loose, or is Kansas City content to maintain an RBBC before the playoffs.
Chargers -- Is there a compelling reason to start any Charger running back at any point these final 4-5 weeks?
