Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud got a big win over the Colts in his return from a concussion last week, and he'll be in another huge matchup this week against the tough Chiefs' defense on Sunday Night Football. Stroud completed 22 of 35 passes for 276 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in last week's win, but looked very sharp overall, even though his fantasy numbers weren't huge. One encouraging sign is that he did have 35 pass attempts, continuing the team's recent trend of throwing the ball more during their current winning streak. If that trend continues again this week, Stroud has good upside if he can convert touchdowns. He's the No. 21 QB in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, making him a low-end QB2 that does bring potential upside despite his tough primetime matchup.

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb has settled in as a change-of-pace option in the Texans' backfield, playing behind rookie Woody Marks, but he still does get enough work to be on the radar in very deep formats. He had his third touchdown of the season in last week's win over the Colts, finishing with nine carries for 34 rushing yards to go with his score. He is no longer the big-play threat or the workhorse that he was earlier in his career, but he is still getting about a third of the snaps in Houston's backfield timeshare. Chubb is the No. 45 RB in RotoBaller's rankings this week as the Texans face the tough Chiefs' run defense on Sunday Night Football. In most standard-sized leagues, there are better options available, but in very deep leagues, he can be a touchdown-reliant flex play.

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight is coming off his best performance of his 2025 campaign. Knight produced season highs in rushing yards (62) and receiving yards (36) on 14 touches in Week 13's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 24-year-old will once again lead the Cardinals' backfield with Trey Benson (knee) and Emari Demercado (ankle) being ruled out for Sunday. Entering Week 14, Knight is RotoBaller's 28th-ranked running back in Half-PPR leagues in a difficult matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams' rushing defense has allowed the fewest running touchdowns this season. Knight has lived on his touchdown production this year and has yet to produce over eight fantasy points in a game without scoring a touchdown in Half-PPR formats. Knight will be a risky flex option for managers entering the final week of most fantasy football regular seasons.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk still played about half of the team's snaps last week against the Colts, but did not have a catch or a target in the team's 20-16 victory. He'll be in a tough matchup this week on Sunday Night Football against the Chiefs, making him an option best left on the bench or waiver wire. The veteran slot receiver did have five catches for 54 yards and a touchdown in Week 12 against the Bills, so he still does have some potential, but he's extremely high-risk since he's playing behind Nico Collins, rookie Jayden Higgins, and Xavier Hutchinson, and also splitting time with rookie Jaylin Noel, who has been logging about 20 snaps per game. Kirk is the No. 75 WR in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, so he isn't a strong start this week.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks has taken over most of the work in the backfield for the Texans, so he'll be a solid flex play on Sunday Night Football in Kansas City. Marks played 54% of snaps last week and led the team with 64 rushing yards on 19 carries against the Colts. The rookie from USC added a three-yard catch on his only target of the day, but Nick Chubb got the running back touchdown, and wide receiver Nico Collins also ran in a score. Marks missed practice early in the week with a foot injury but was able to get in a full session on Friday and avoid an injury designation. He hasn't been able to convert his workload to huge yardage or touchdowns, but he's getting enough volume to be a low-end RB2 or high-end flex option this week, even in a tough matchup against the Chiefs. Marks is the No. 23 RB in RotoBaller's rankings for this week, as he and the Texans look to claim a fifth straight victory.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins is having a strong second half to his rookie season, and he has emerged as enough of a threat to be on the radar in deep leagues. The early second-round pick has emerged as the team's second receiver behind Nico Collins in the last few weeks and has at least four catches in each of his four games during the team's current winning streak. In those four games, Higgins has totaled 18 catches on 28 targets for 200 yards and two touchdowns. He had a personal-best 65 receiving yards last week against the Colts and caught all five of his targets from returning QB C.J. Stroud. He should remain involved enough to be a fringe flex play this week against the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. It won't be an easy matchup, but if the Texans keep throwing the ball so much, the rookie has a solid chance to continue his production. He's the WR37 in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 14, so he is still best left on the bench in standard-sized leagues.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins should continue to get plenty of targets as his team faces an important matchup in Week 14 against the Chiefs, as both teams try to stay in the playoff race heading into the final few weeks of the regular season. Collins has drawn at least 10 targets in five of his last six games and is up to 95 targets in 11 games this season. He has converted those looks into 57 catches for 795 yards and four touchdowns on the year, and last week, he finished with five catches for 98 yards against the Colts, while adding the first rushing touchdown of his career. Collins is one of the top options in the Texans' passing game, which has been effectively high-volume in the past few weeks. He remains a top-10 option with good upside even in a tough matchup against the Chiefs, who have been a slightly below-average matchup for receivers this season. In RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, Collins is the No. 8 wide receiver, making him still a top receiver in most leagues and a strong start in almost all formats this week.

Houston Texans tight end Cade Stover had a new role in Week 13, serving as the team's short-yardage specialist and taking four carries for three yards in addition to catching both of his targets for 16 yards as the team's second tight end. Stover's four carries came on 3rd- or 4th-and-one situations, and he converted two of the four chances for first downs. Three of the carries came in the red zone, and he has the potential to score a short-yardage touchdown in the package if the opportunity arises in the coming weeks. Stover has played three games this season and has six catches for 38 yards, so he's a little involved in the passing game as well. The second-year tight end from Ohio State is only the No. 48 TE in RotoBaller's rankings in Week 14 against the Chiefs, so he can be left on the waiver wire in most formats, but it is interesting that he's getting short-yardage work since it does raise his potential production.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz is a solid fill-in or streaming play when he visits the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football if you're searching for a solution at the position this week. Schultz hasn't been an elite option this year, but he has posted very steady numbers, especially in PPR leagues. The eighth-year veteran caught seven of his eight targets for 55 yards in Week 13 against the Colts and has at least six catches in four of his last five games. He is up to 59 catches for 552 yards and one touchdown on the season, and he has been a steady contributor of targets and catches this year, even though his yardage totals have been fairly mediocre. Schultz is the No. 15 TE in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 14, making him a fringe starting option this week against the Chiefs, who have been solid against TE this season.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn and the Texans have a huge game this week against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. Fairbairn made two field goals and two extra points in his team's win over the Colts, which extended his streak to seven straight games with multiple field-goal makes. In his 10 games this season, Fairbairn has converted 27 of his 30 field-goal tries and all 16 of his extra-point attempts. He has gone 5-for-8 from 50 yards or longer, and he brings good upside even though he'll be kicking outside at Arrowhead Stadium this week. Fairbairn is the No. 8 kicker in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, so he's a solid start in most leagues.

From RotoBaller

Miami Dolphins kicker Riley Patterson has filled in well for Jason Sanders (hip) this season, as Sanders' IR stint has extended through the first 13 weeks of the season. Patterson has made 21 of his 23 field goal attempts overall this season and 24 of his 25 extra point attempts. He converted all four of his field goal chances last week against the Saints and also added an extra point. This week, he'll be in a good matchup against the Jets, but the weather in New York is expected to be very cold. Patterson has not made any field goals from 50+ yards this season, but has consistently converted shorter attempts. The elements will make it tough to make anything from long distance, but he can reliably deliver shorter kicks. He is the No. 14 kicker in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, so he isn't a must-start in most leagues, but he isn't a terrible option either.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker will face the Houston Texans in Week 14. Butker made all nine of his field goal attempts from Weeks 10 -12, but did not get an opportunity to extend that streak in Week 13 against the Dallas Cowboys. Butker did not record a single field goal attempt on Thanksgiving, but he was perfect on his four extra-point attempts. The Chiefs kicker has improved his accuracy over the past few weeks, and he will need it if called upon against a tough Houston defense. If Kansas City has drives halted by the Texans, there could be field goal opportunities for Butker. That said, if the Chiefs do not drive into field goal range, kicking duties could be handed over to the punter. Butker is ranked K15 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him a lower-end option this week.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown caught two passes for 20 yards and a touchdown in last week's 28-31 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Despite his modest stat line, Brown found the endzone to salvage his fantasy day. The veteran receiver has found pay dirt five times this season, meaning that Patrick Mahomes can trust him when the field shrinks. Brown will likely have to find the endzone again to be viable against Houston in Week 14. The Texans have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, meaning they are among the toughest matchups for the position. Brown is ranked WR60 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a desperation flex play in Week 14.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will have his hands full against the Houston Texans in Week 14. Kelce caught five passes for 45 yards and a touchdown in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Despite the loss, the veteran tight end put forth an excellent fantasy performance, and he should be relied upon to do the same against Houston this week. The Texans defense has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season, but Kelce is no average tight end, and his usage in the Kansas City offense sets him apart. Kelce has at least six targets in four of his last five games, with three touchdowns in that span. Kelce is ranked TE4 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings this week, making him a top-end option at the position once again.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice caught eight passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns in the 28-31 loss to Dallas on Thanksgiving. Rice has been the focal point of Kansas City's offense since his return from suspension and has been virtually matchup-proof outside of a down game against Denver, where he caught six passes for 38 yards. The Broncos made it a point to slow down Rice, and the same treatment could be coming his way in Week 14 against a tough Houston defense. The Texans have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Despite the matchup, Rice should still be given a heavy dose of targets in what could be a must-win game for Kansas City. Rice was also dealing with a hamstring injury this week, but practiced in full Wednesday through Friday, so he has no injury designation for this week's matchup. Rice is ranked WR4 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a must-start option despite facing one of the strongest defenses in the NFL.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy has often taken a backseat to Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce this season, but this week, he will also have to contend with one of the toughest defenses in the league. Worthy caught four passes for 61 yards and rushed twice for 13 yards in last week's Thanksgiving loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The speedy wideout finished second on the team in receiving yardage, but it should be tougher sledding this week against Houston. The Texans defense has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, which does not bode well for Worthy, given his lower target share. Worthy is ranked WR40 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a deeper league flex option in Week 14.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco only handled three carries for 16 yards in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, but he should handle more work this week. The 26-year-old returned from his knee injury in Week 13, which explains his light workload, but his playing time should increase against the tough Houston defense in Week 14. The Texans defense has allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, making it a tough spot for Pacheco amid a split backfield. Pacheco also popped up on the injury report with a knee injury, but was a full participant in practice all week and is good to go for the weekend. The second-year back was pulling away with the lead role before his injury, so the split could lean in his direction eventually, but it is difficult to say when that might be. Pacheco is ranked RB46 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a tough player to start this week.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes diced up the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving, but ended up taking the loss. Mahomes completed 23 of 34 pass attempts (68%) for 261 yards and four touchdowns in the 28-31 loss to Dallas in Week 13. The Chiefs defense has now given up at least 20 points in four straight games, making it difficult to win no matter how well Mahomes plays. With the team sitting at 6-6 and third in the division, Mahomes and the Chiefs essentially need to win out to secure a spot in the playoffs. That task will be tough to accomplish when they have the stout Houston defense staring them down in Week 14. The Texans defense has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season, making this the toughest matchup there is. With their season hanging in the balance, Mahomes will have to will them to victory if they want to see the postseason. The Chiefs superstar was also listed on this week's injury report with a knee injury, but practiced all week fully and does not have an injury designation heading into the weekend. Mahomes is ranked QB7 in our RotoBaller rankings, meaning he's still a locked-in QB1 despite facing arguably the best defense in football.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt should once again lead the backfield as the Chiefs face the Houston Texans on Sunday night. Hunt led the way with 14 carries for 58 yards and one catch for 22 yards in the 28-31 loss to Dallas on Thanksgiving. Last week's contest was Isiah Pacheco's first game back from injury, so his workload was light, but Hunt should continue getting the majority of work even with Pacheco healthy. The Chiefs have leaned on Hunt as their most trusted runner, and he will need to prove worthy of the role if Kansas City wants to beat the tough Houston defense. The Texans defense has allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, making them one of the toughest matchups at the position. Hunt is ranked RB21 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a viable RB2 option this week.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets placekicker Nick Folk should continue to be a reliable option in Week 14's home matchup with the Miami Dolphins. Folk has been superb when called upon in 2025, missing all but one of his field goal tries (22-of-23) and connecting on each of his 18 extra-point attempts. Even at the age of 41, the veteran's leg is no worse for wear, drilling six kicks of 50-plus yards, including last weekend's 56-yard game-winner. Unfortunately, New York's (lack of) scoring offense has held him back from being amongst the league leaders in points. Still, he'll get an opportunity to be a viable fantasy asset in Sunday's outing with the visiting Dolphins. The Jets have moved the ball better with quarterback Tyrod Taylor at the helm, and Miami's defense has softened in recent weeks. If New York can continue trending positively, Folk may see a modest uptick in scoring down the stretch. He'll land as RotoBaller's K19 in this week's ranks.
