McCormick serves as a prime example of the importance of stashing backup running backs. In the Raiders' backfield, he has seized the opportunity presented by injuries in the last couple of weeks and has become a viable flex option for fantasy managers dealing with their own injury or bye-week roster issues. While he may not be a revelation, his control over the rushing work makes him a player to watch. Although he has a tough matchup against the Falcons next week, more favorable defensive opponents like the Jaguars and Saints await. It remains to be seen when Zamir White and Alexander Mattison will return, but given the Raiders' struggling season and the injury to quarterback Aiden O'Connell, it makes sense to give McCormick a chance on the bench. He has shown potential and is definitely worth considering.
With his ability to step up in times of need, McCormick could be a key contributor to your fantasy football lineup. His performance so far indicates that he has what it takes to make a difference in the playoffs.
When Breece Hall was ruled out in Week 14, there was a lot of excitement about rookie RB Braelon Allen taking the lead in the Jets' backfield. However, as often happens in this unpredictable season, our expectations were not met. Allen did lead in carries with 11, but it was Isaiah Davis who scored the rushing touchdown and added 27 yards on three catches. This shows that Davis is not to be overlooked. He had a near-even split with Allen, making him a fantasy-worthy option as long as Hall is out. And considering the Jets' playoff hopes are likely dashed, there is no need to rush Hall back onto the field. Davis has shown that he can contribute and should be given the opportunity to shine.
His performance in Week 14 was a pleasant surprise and gives fantasy owners hope that he can continue to make an impact. Davis could be the hidden gem in the Jets' backfield.
The Buccaneers have been struggling to replace the loss of Chris Godwin. At one point, it seemed like tight end Cade Otton would fill the void. But rookie wide receiver Jalen McMillan has emerged as a serious contender. In Week 14, he had the best game of his career, scoring twice and leading the Bucs in targets with seven. His touchdowns came from 15 and 29 yards, respectively, showcasing his skill and explosive ability. He is now firmly on the flex radar and is a player to keep an eye on.
McMillan's performance in Week 14 was a game-changer for the Buccaneers and for fantasy owners. His ability to make big plays and contribute in key situations makes him a valuable asset. He has the potential to be a key player in the Bucs' offense moving forward.
