Detroit Lions

Calvin Johnson (Wide Receiver): Johnson was absolutely lost in this game. He was barely even targeted and this is largely because he is still dealing with an injury. Johnson caught 1 of 5 targets in week 14 for 16 yards. He played his usual amount of snaps but something was off with him. Johnson's status should be monitored closely fir week 15.

 

St. Louis Rams

Todd Gurley (Running Back): Gurley finally returned to the world of fantasy relevance. After a couple of slumping weeks Gurley went off and went off big. Gurley rushed for 140 yards on 16 rushing attempts. Gurley made his way into the end zone twice which game him a ridiculous stat line. Gurley however did suffer a knee injury that is believed to be minor. Gurley should be ready to play for the Rams week 15 Thursday night showdown.

Tavon Austin (Wide Receiver):  Austin has been an interesting player both in the fantasy world and in real life. Austin rarely has back to back monstrous games but he will earn points in interesting ways. In week 15 Austin carried the ball 4 times for 40 yards and also returned a punt for a touchdown. In the passing game Austin hauled in 3 of 5 targets for 19 yards.
