The crappy week for quarterbacks brought down a lot of good passing options as well. Guys like Brandin Cooks, Amari Cooper, and Antonio Brown struggled to do much of anything — though it was great to see young players like Tyreek Hill and Taylor Gabriel continue their respective hot streaks.

In Week 15 we need our tried and true options to show up, and luckily a few have solid matchups going into the second round of the playoffs. Odell Beckham Jr. had a huge touchdown on Sunday night, and the Giants will need him again when they take on the Lions. Julio Jones sat out in Week 14 with a toe issue, and even if he is healthy, the Falcons might not need him too much when they face the atrocious 49ers. A.J. Green remains a question mark, but there is a chance we see him on Sunday.

If Dez Bryant didn’t get you bounced from the playoffs with his dismal performance, then he is in an excellent position to come back against the Buccaneers. Speaking of the Buccaneers, where in the deuce is Mike Evans when you need him? Often a top-five option, he hasn’t had more than four receptions or 45 yards in the past two weeks. That is not what we need from you right now, Big Mike. Still, a date with the Cowboys secondary is a tempting opportunity.
