It\u2019s astonishing that so many people seem to be so against playing quarterbacks that can run. Taysom Hill is one of those quarterbacks. Just last week he scored 27.66 fantasy points. Half of that production came from his legs. He <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FTNFantasy\/status\/1468325514968547339?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rushed for 101 yards on 11 carries<\/a>. Any time a quarterback has the ability to do that, he doesn\u2019t need to be a great passer to succeed in fantasy. That seems to be where people can\u2019t separate fantasy football from real-life football. This week, Hill gets a juicy matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/jets\/\" target=\"_self\">New York Jets<\/a>. The Jets defense has been horrible and has been one of the most inefficient pass defenses in the NFL this year. In terms of fantasy points allowed, they\u2019ve allowed the 11th-most so far. They\u2019ve also been horrible against the run too so Hill should be a good bet for another strong performance on the ground. There is some concern about his finger injury so that\u2019s something to monitor. Assuming he is able to play the entire game, there\u2019s no reason to believe that Hill can\u2019t provide another 20+ fantasy point game in this one.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">TAYSOM HILL \ud83d\ude31<\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@NFL<\/a>)<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/I0kGksCAnq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/I0kGksCAnq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BleacherReport\/status\/1466614267642138626?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December 3, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Teddy Bridgewater<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><b>DEN<\/b> <b>&#8211; 23%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><b> v DET<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Taylor Heinicke<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><b>WFT<\/b> <b>&#8211; 38%) v DAL<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Running Back \u2013 Rashaad Penny (SEA &#8211; 6%) @ HOU<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a bit thin this week at running back, especially compared to last week, so Rashaad Penny it is. There is a little to be excited about at least. Penny is a former first-round pick so he has some upside and potential. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/seahawks\/\" target=\"_self\">Seattle Seahawks<\/a> are running thin at the running back position as well with Chris Carson out for the year and Alex Collins banged up. They\u2019ve gotten so desperate that they signed the corpse of Adrian Peterson after he failed to beat out D\u2019Onta Foreman and Dontrell Hilliard for playing time with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/titans\/\" target=\"_self\">Tennessee Titans<\/a>. This past week Penny saw 10 carries and one target and turned that into 62 total yards. It\u2019s nothing spectacular but Collins wasn\u2019t doing much of anything while healthy so it would seem to make sense to give Penny a shot at an expanded role. This week\u2019s matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/texans\/\" target=\"_self\">Houston Texans<\/a> would be a great spot to see extra work. The Texans have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs so far this year. The Seahawks are also 7.5-point road favorites in this one so the game script should be in his favor as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Dontrell Hilliard<\/b> <b>(TEN &#8211; 42%) v JAX,<\/b> <b>JaMycal Hasty (SF &#8211; 1%) @ CIN<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Wide Receiver \u2013 Russell Gage (ATL &#8211; 35%) @ CAR<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Early on this season Russell Gage looked completely cooked. At this point, it looks like he was dealing with an injury and that\u2019s what was to blame. Lately, Gage has been on a bit of a hot streak. He\u2019s scored at least 13.4 fantasy points in four of his last six games played. He does have a goose egg sandwiched in there too. Gage has also seen at least six targets in five of his last six games. He and Kyle Pitts are clearly the main two weapons in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/falcons\/\" target=\"_self\">Atlanta Falcons<\/a> passing game at this point. This matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/panthers\/\" target=\"_self\">Carolina Panthers<\/a> isn\u2019t anything special but it\u2019s not a matchup to fear either. Carolina has been tough on wide receivers so far but Gage has seen too much volume and been doing too well to ignore at this point.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Russell Gage has had a target share over 25% in four of his last five games, including 29% in Week 13<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Alex Johnson (@a_johnsonFF) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/a_johnsonFF\/status\/1468412630045966341?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December 8, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mention \u2013 Nick Westbrook-Ikhine<\/b> <b>(TEN &#8211; 14%) v<\/b> <b>JAX<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tight End \u2013 Tyler Conklin (MIN &#8211; 30%) v PIT<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tyler Conklin has become a regular in this section whether he\u2019s been featured or as an honorable mention. This marks his seventh week here. Part of it is that he\u2019s been just good enough to consider every week but not good enough to graduate to \u201cmust-start\u201d status. Conklin had been going through a bit of a dry spell until last week. After back-to-back weeks with three targets, he saw that jump to nine targets last week. Part of that was due to the game script but a bigger part was Adam Thielen\u2019s injury. Thielen went down with an ankle injury and did not return. This week it\u2019s very likely that he\u2019ll sit out since this game is on Thursday night. Assuming Thielen sits, Conklin should likely see a boost in target share in this one. The matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/steelers\/\" target=\"_self\">Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> isn\u2019t one to specifically target, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/vikings\/\" target=\"_self\">Minnesota Vikings<\/a> are projected to be playing a close game and in a dome which should all help Conklin\u2019s chances to succeed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Ricky Seals-Jones<\/b> <b>(WFT &#8211; 5%) v DAL,<\/b> <b>Jared Cook (LAC &#8211; 45%) v NYG<\/b><\/p>\n<p>[pickup_prop id=&#8221;16547&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"6dLh3ItpSlZets1dRHUbUg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1357540548\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'6dLh3ItpSlZets1dRHUbUg',sig:'xUPbficvKcMOWslU0ZXovGQ0JJTMrJo9sxZzrSE1DSY=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1357540548',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fantasy Football Week 14 Stream Team: Each week this column will analyze a player at each position rostered in 50% of Yahoo leagues or less.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3451,"featured_media":125802,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[349,3515,5881,2399,3840],"class_list":["post-125782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantasy","tag-fantasy-football-rankings","tag-rashaad-penny","tag-russell-gage","tag-taysom-hill","tag-tyler-conklin"],"modified_by":"Will Noltie, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3451"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125782\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
