FLEX RANKINGS: 1-50

• Bijan Robinsonhas scored four touchdowns in his last four games. He’s had 19-plus touches in three of his last four. And in Week 15, he’ll face the Panthers, who have allowed a league-high 21 rushing touchdowns this season. 
• I know you don’t just look at what one player (like, say, Deebo Samuel) accomplished against a certain team (like, say, the Seahawks) and presume another player (like, say, A.J. Brown) can do the same thing against that team — but I’m totally doing that with Brown this week. Brown has a great matchup against Seattle, which has allowed a top-four receiver in each of the last two games (including Deebo, who racked up seven catches for 149 yards and a TD in Week 14).
• Amon-Ra St. Brown has 10.3 targets and 7.3 receptions per game this season, ranking third and fourth in the NFL, respectively. He’s had 90-plus receiving yards in seven games.
• Deebo Samuel has been the key for the 49ers in 2023 — and it’s not just because he’s registered 34-plus fantasy points in back to back games. Samuel has logged either seven-plus targets or five-plus carries in six games, and the Niners won all of them, while Christian McCaffrey averaged a full yard more per carry (5.8) than he did when Samuel failed to meet either of those thresholds (4.6). Samuel is like The Janitor on Scrubs. He wasn’t the main person, but he was the guy who held it all together, and the show wasn’t as good without him. (Plus, Neil Flynn is excellent in everything.)
• Joe Mixon got snaked for a touchdown by Jake Browning in Week 14. But Mixon has had at least 20 fantasy points in three of his last four games. He’s scored a touchdown in six of his last seven. 
• DK Metcalf has scored four touchdowns in his last two games, and he’s had 15 end-zone targets this season, tied for third-most in the NFL.

• Ezekiel Elliott was on the Waiver Wire Hot Sauce last week. He was on the Hype Train. And I think I need to spread the wealth a little bit. He had 27 fantasy points in Week 14, thanks to 29 touches. Dude has 40.2 fantasy points over the past two weeks.
