PFF's fantasy football recap focuses on player usage and stats, breaking down all the vital information you need to achieve fantasy success in 2022. Here, we touch on only players who are relevant in fantasy football leagues.
These are my 10 biggest reactions to the games from the Week 14 Sunday slate. To get a more in-depth breakdown, check out my full Sunday recap.
J.K. Dobbins’ return
Dobbins played his first game since mid-October and went right back to the team’s starting lineup.
- The Ravens used a ridiculous four-man rotation at running back, but Dobbins played half the snaps on early downs as well as half the snaps in short-yardage situations.
- Gus Edwards didn’t start the game, but he still played significant snaps on early downs, getting double-digit carries and averaging over 5.0 yards per carry, which is something he’s done throughout his career.
- Edwards can be picked up in fantasy leagues despite not starting, as the Ravens have the easiest schedule for running backs through the fantasy playoffs.
- Ideally, the Ravens view Dobbins and Edwards as healthy enough to make this a two-man backfield.
- Both Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill were reduced to playing in a four-man rotation on third downs. Drake can be dropped in fantasy leagues.
D’Andre Swift’s momentum comes to a halt
Swift’s role increased last week, leading to double-digit carries, more than 100 yards and a touchdown. This week, he was back to the same role he played for most of November.
- Justin Jackson was the primary third-down back, taking snaps that would ordinarily go to Swift.
- Swift made up for that with more snaps on early downs than in past weeks — but not as much as last week.
- This led to only six carries for 21 yards and three receptions for 18 receiving yards.
- The Lions ran the ball with running backs 26 times and passed the ball 39 times for 330 yards. The fact that Swift didn’t see more touches and yards given the Lions' offensive output is concerning.
- Safety C.J. Moore led the Lions in rushing yards thanks to a 42-yard run on a fake punt.
