The fantasy football playoffs are upon us. Hopefully you've made it in after a wild Week 14, but there is still work to do to add to your squad and make lineup decisions.
Each Tuesday during the season, ESPN fantasy analyst Eric Moody will ask NFL Nation reporters what to make of the fallout after games are played and the most pressing questions heading into the next weekend. Who is primed for a big performance, who is impacted by injuries and what roles might change? Here's what our crew had to say about some of the biggest storylines after Week 14 as we head into Week 15.
I think it's fair to be concerned to a degree. Defenses seem to have a better handle on what Philadelphia is doing offensively, making it more difficult for Hurts to operate. This group is consistently playing from behind, which makes them more one-dimensional. That said, I expect Hurts and the bulk of the playmakers to see an uptick in production now that the Eagles are past the most difficult part of their schedule. -- Tim McManus
Yes. For fantasy owners, this has turned into a very valid problem. For a variety of reasons, in part because defenses have found ways to take him away, Diggs is simply not being targeted downfield at a high volume. Since Week 8, only 14 of his 54 targets have gone for 10 air yards or more. There's no doubt that he will continued to targeted at a high volume, and interim offensive coordinator Joe Brady said that they would like to get involved more downfield, but Diggs has not had a 100-yard receiving game since Oct. 15. He's due for a big game, but it's far from a guarantee. -- Alaina Getzenberg
Hockenson and Addison have been the Vikings' top two targets in the absence of Justin Jefferson, but at the moment the Vikings feel optimistic that Jefferson will be able to play Saturday against the Bengals. And if he plays, a good part of the game plan will be focused on getting him the ball. Mullens has been in the Vikings' offense for two years and has a good understanding of the timing necessary to utilize the passing game fully. He'll distribute to the open receiver, but Jefferson would be the focus, assuming he remains on track to play. -- Kevin Seifert
