Fantasy Football Player Notes

Barkley might be heating up at the perfect time for anyone who has made it this far with him. Despite producing as a middling RB2 for most of the season, we now have back-to-back RB1 games. In each of his last two games, he has had 20 carries and a score, a combination that had only happened once in the first 13 weeks of the season. To make everything even better, Barkley has the best schedule for RBs down the stretch. With the Commanders twice, sandwiching the Bills, he faces the two teams allowing the sixth and fourth most fantasy points to the RB position over the last five weeks. If you've overcome his down weeks, he should come through for you when it matters most.

He may have lost his streak of 100-yard games, but his 27-yard touchdown saved fantasy managers last week. Despite only having two targets and two receptions, the star wideout continued his streak of decent fantasy finishes. Just in time for the fantasy playoffs, Brown has arguably the best matchup for receivers in Week 15. Although the Commanders are only allowing the seventh most fantasy points to opposing wideouts, we have seen them be lit up by multiple weapons. In his two games against the Commanders last year, Brown combined for 23 targets, 13 receptions, 162 yards, and a score. With all the weapons on the Eagles, it's hard to know who is going to get home, but Brown has a great chance for a good game in Week 15.

Usually, I don't have an issue sharing my opinion on who to start in these outlooks. However, I'm going to make a point of leaving this call up to you and providing all the information you need. Goedert has had a good season overall; however, it has been dominated by feast or famine. With six weeks inside the top eight at the position, and seven weeks outside of the top 15 (four outside the top 30), it's been hard to predict. Thankfully, we have two straight weeks of 70 plus yard games, along with two goalline scores last week. That said, he failed to score over 6.5 fantasy points between Weeks 10 and 13. This week, he faces the Commanders, who are allowing the sixth most fantasy points to the TE position over the last five weeks. There is enough evidence to ride the hot hand into a great matchup this week, but I also wouldn't blame you for starting a more reliable option.
