Week 14 Recap
Rashad Greene Sr scored his first NFL return touchdown as he took a punt back 73 yards during the Jaguars' dismantling of the Colts in Week 14. Keshawn Martin added 46 punt return yards to the New England section of his resumé, which alongside his kick return yards was enough to lead the week with 113 total return yards. Jarvis Landry was second best with 96 total return yards on a day in which he also had 11 receptions and 99 receiving yards. Landry has been the star this season when it comes to fantasy significant players getting a large boost from the return game. Also this week Cordarrelle Patterson, continued his resurgent second half of the season, once again going over 90 kick return yards as he has in 4 out of his last 5 games.

Week 15 Outlook
Job Changes
Raheem Mostert was released by the Ravens following their Week 14 game. Kaelin Clay was already handling punts and splitting kickoff returns with Mostert, so is the likely player to handle the bulk of the kick returns now.
The Browns stuck with Darius Jennings on kick returns, though neither of the kickoffs he received was returnable.
Keshawn Martin handled kick returns for the Patriots the previous week, but this week Martin also took over punts from Danny Amendola and Damaris Johnson. Martin, who was facing his former team in Houston, did well on punts in particular with 4 returns for 46 yards.
The Texans changed things up at returner, going back to Cecil Shorts who had been handling returns before missing extended time to injury. They also used speedster Akeem Hunt on kickoff returns rather than Keith Mumphery, though he managed only 1 return for 19 yards.
INJURIES OF NOTE
Dexter McCluster returned for the Titans this week, only to break his wrist and end up placed on injured reserve. Tre McBride handled kickoffs but did not have a very strong performance. Punts could be handled by Harry Douglas or by Perrish Cox.
