Matchups Analysis - Sunday 1:00 EST Games
Miami Dolphins at New York Jets
Matchups We Love:
QB Tyrod Taylor
Tyrod Taylor has actually finished as a top-10 fantasy QB in two of his three starts this year. In Week 13, Taylor scored 21.3 fantasy points en route to a QB6 fantasy finish. Now, he gets a favorable matchup against a Dolphins secondary that has allowed a top-12 fantasy QB finish in four straight weeks. So, Taylor could be started as a QB1 in some 14-plus team leagues.
De'Von Achane has been a reliable RB1 option for fantasy managers this season. That won't change in Week 14 against a Jets defense that just let Bijan Robinson finish as the overall RB1 last week. So, Achane should be in all fantasy formats this weekend.
Makin' it look easyyyy 😌

Other Matchups:
Tua Tagovailoa has been an inconsistent QB option in recent weeks. He has scored under 13 fantasy points in six of the last seven games and has been held to under seven fantasy points in back-to-back games. Therefore, Tagovailoa will be a lower-end QB2 against the Jets this week. New York hasn't allowed a top-18 fantasy QB finish in consecutive weeks.
RB Breece Hall
Breece Hall will continue to be a solid RB2 play in Week 14. He has finished as a top-18 fantasy RB in four of his last five games and just saw 21 touches in last week's win. Considering the Dolphins have allowed the fifth-most rush yards per game to opposing RBs, Hall could be in store for a solid fantasy day this week.
Jets WRs
It might be hard to predict which Jets WR will go off this week. In Week 12, it was John Metchie III behind his six-catch, 65-yard, one-touchdown performance. Last week, it was Adonai Mitchell who totaled eight catches for 102 yards and one touchdown. However, both WRs will come in as solid WR3s against the Dolphins.
Of the two WRs, Mitchell is likely the better WR to roll with in this offense. He is coming off a career performance in Week 13 and has seen 19 targets over the past two games. Both WRs, though, are worth a look in some 12-plus team leagues.
Although Jaylen Waddle has scored under 10 PPR fantasy points in back-to-back games, he will still come in as a high-end WR2 in Week 14. His target share is still over 30% across the past month and will remain the top option in this Miami offense. So, he should be a start in most cases against a New York secondary that just allowed Stefon Diggs to total 105 yards back in Week 11.
Darren Waller returned from a four-game absence in Week 13 and played 47% of the team's offensive snaps. That resulted in a modest two catches for 47 yards. While that snap share should slightly increase in Week 14 against the Jets, Waller will only be a touchdown-dependent TE1 option in deeper leagues. Only one TE has scored above 10.5 PPR against this New York defense since Week 6.
Injuries:
None
Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens
Matchups We Love:
WR Zay Flowers
Zay Flowers is coming off his worst game of the season, scoring just 0.6 PPR fantasy points. However, fantasy managers should expect a bounce-back performance from him in Week 14. The Steelers have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing slot WRs this year and rank dead last in receptions and receiving yards allowed to all WRs. That makes Flowers a high-floor WR2.
TE Mark Andrews
Fresh off a three-year extension, Mark Andrews will be a solid TE1 play this week against the Steelers. Pittsburgh has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points and the fourth-most receiving touchdowns to opposing TEs this season. Given that Andrews has seen at least five targets in three of the past four weeks, he will be a top-10 play at the position in Week 14.
Matchups We Hate:
Fantasy managers shouldn't trust Aaron Rodgers in most Superflex formats this week. He has scored under 10 PPR fantasy points in three straight games and is currently playing with three fractures in his wrist. So, Rodgers will be a lower-end QB2 against the Ravens. Baltimore has also allowed fewer than 14 fantasy points to a QB in five of its last seven games.
Other Matchups:
The biggest start/sit question of the week is whether to start Lamar Jackson. He has scored in single digits in three straight games and doesn't look like himself. On top of that, Jackson has had his fair share of struggles against Pittsburgh's defense over his career. Nonetheless, Jackson will still come in as a solid QB1 option due to his fantasy ceiling against a Steelers defense that has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to QBs.
Despite scoring 17.4 PPR fantasy points last week, Derrick Henry only saw 10 carries. Those 10 carries were his fewest in a game since Week 4. However, fantasy managers should expect the veteran to see more opportunities on the ground. Given that James Cook just ran for 144 yards against the Steelers last week, Henry will be a must-start RB1.
Steelers RBs
With the Steelers' backfield being almost an even split, both Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell have their fantasy ceiling capped. So, Warren will be more of a low-end RB2 play this week, while Gainwell is more of a flex play in 12-plus team leagues. The good news for both RBs is that Baltimore has let up a top-16 RB finish in six of the last seven weeks and currently ranks 25th in receptions allowed to the position.
WR DK Metcalf
At this point, fantasy managers can't really trust DK Metcalf. He has scored under 10 PPR fantasy points in four of the last five weeks, and his 50.4 receiving yards per game rank as the current WR36. Although the Ravens have let a WR score over 18 PPR fantasy points against them in three of the past four contests, Metcalf is more of a WR3 this week due to his low target share (21.9%).
Injuries:
None
New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Matchups We Love:
QB Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough has actually been an appealing QB option in his starts. He has finished as a top-12 fantasy QB in two of his four starts this season, including a QB12 fantasy finish last week against the Miami Dolphins. Shough will now face a Buccaneers defense that has allowed a QB to score at least 19 fantasy points in four straight games. For that reason, the rookie could be started as a QB1 in 18-plus team leagues this week.
Saints RBs
It remains to be seen if Alvin Kamara (knee) will be able to play in Week 14. If he does, he will be a fantastic RB2 start against the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay ranks 21st in receptions allowed, 32nd in receiving yards allowed, and 28th in receiving touchdowns allowed to opposing RBs this season. If Kamara is unable to play, then Devin Neal will be a solid RB2 play. Neal has caught eight passes for 65 yards over the last two weeks.
Matchups We Hate:
None
Other Matchups:
Baker Mayfield hasn't been a consistent QB1 option recently. He has finished outside the top-16 at the QB position in four of his past six games and has thrown for under 200 yards in three consecutive weeks. In a matchup against this Saints defense back in Week 8, Mayfield only scored 4.1 fantasy points. So, he will fall outside the top 12 at the QB position for this week.
RB Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving made his long-awaited return last week. In his first game action since Week 4, Irving scored 16.1 PPR fantasy points while seeing 19 touches. Following that encouraging performance, Irving should be in most fantasy lineups this week. The Saints just let De'Von Achane finish as the overall RB6 last week behind a 134-yard rushing effort.
Buccaneers WRs
The Saints have done a nice job against opposing WRs this year. They have allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points, seventh-fewest receptions, and seventh-fewest receiving yards to the position. However, Emeka Egbuka will continue to be a WR2 for fantasy managers, and Chris Godwin Jr. will come in as more of a flex play in 12-plus team leagues.
Although Egbuka hasn't been the best fantasy option over the past month, it's hard to sit the No. 1 receiving option in this Tampa Bay offense. His ceiling is still extremely high. As for Godwin, seeing him total a season-high 78 yards while playing 66% of the team's offensive snaps is an encouraging sign heading into Week 14. His snap share should only increase on Sunday.
WR Chris Olave
Chris Olave has really been one of the most consistent WR options this season. He has finished as a top-24 WR in six of his last seven games, and his 28.3% target share ranks as WR11 on the year. So, he'll remain a strong WR2 play this week. The Buccaneeers have allowed the fourth-most receptions and seventh-most receiving yards to opposing WRs.
Juwan Johnson is definitely trending up in fantasy. He has caught 11 passes for 85 yards over the past two games and has finished as a top-12 fantasy TE in four of his last five contests. That makes him a reliable TE1 play this week against the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay let both Trey McBride (22.2 PPR fantasy points) and Colby Parkinson (14.1 PPR fantasy points) have solid fantasy games across the past two weeks.
Injuries:
- Mike Evans (collarbone)
- Jalen McMillan (neck)
- Alvin Kamara (knee)
Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Jaguars
Matchups We Love:
QB Daniel Jones
Some fantasy managers might have some concerns rolling with Daniel Jones as a QB1, given that he is playing through a fractured fibula. While his rushing will be limited due to that fibula injury, he will still be a solid QB1 against the Jaguars in Week 14. Jacksonville has allowed a top-10 fantasy QB finish in six of its last eight games.
TE Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren will remain a must-start TE1 for fantasy managers this week. He has scored in double figures in PPR formats in six of his last nine games, and this matchup against the Jaguars is a favorable one. Jacksonville has given up the second-most fantasy points, second-most receptions, and fourth-most receiving yards to opposing TEs this season.
Since returning from injured reserve in Week 12, Brenton Strange has scored 14.3 PPR fantasy points and 13.5 PPR fantasy points. Now, he gets a nice matchup against a Colts defense that just let Dalton Schultz catch seven passes for 55 yards last week. That makes Strange a solid TE1 in most 12-plus team leagues this weekend.
Matchups We Hate:
The Jaguars have been one of the best defenses against fantasy RBs this year. They have allowed the fewest rushing yards and the fifth-fewest fantasy points to the position through 13 weeks. Although this is a tougher matchup for Jonathan Taylor, you are still starting him as an RB1 in all formats. He is averaging 24.8 PPR fantasy points in 2025.
Other Matchups:
Trevor Lawrence has looked much better under center in recent games. That has helped with his fantasy production, as he has finished as a top-12 fantasy QB in four of the last five weeks. So, Lawrence is a potential QB1 play in most 12-plus team leagues this week. The Colts are allowing over 265 pass yards per game this season (fifth-most in the NFL).
Travis Etienne Jr. had his worst fantasy game of the season last week, scoring a mere 5.1 PPR fantasy points. Look for him to be a much better fantasy option in a bounce-back performance against the Colts in Week 14. Indianapolis has let an RB score above 16 PPR fantasy points in four of its past five games, which included Kareem Hunt rushing for 104 yards and one touchdown against this defense back in Week 12.
Jaguars WRs
The WR to own in this Jacksonville offense appears to be Jakobi Meyers. He caught six passes for 90 yards and one touchdown last week and has now totaled at least 15 PPR fantasy points in each of the last two games. That makes him a high-end WR3 play against a Colts secondary that has allowed the second-most receptions and fifth-most receiving yards to opposing WRs this year.
As for Brian Thomas Jr., he is an extremely risky flex option. Although Sauce Gardner won't be healthy enough to play in this game, Thomas will have a low fantasy floor in Week 14. He only caught two passes for 28 yards last week and has scored under 10 PPR fantasy points in each of his last three contests.
Colts WRs
There are only two Colts pass-catchers that fantasy managers can trust right now. That is Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce. Although Pittman has totaled less than 30 receiving yards in three consecutive games, he will still come in as a WR2 option. He is still the top option in this Indianapolis offense. As for Pierce, he will be a fantastic WR3 play after totaling over 17 PPR fantasy points in three of his last four contests.
Injuries:
None
Tennessee Titans at Cleveland Browns
Matchups We Love:
None
Matchups We Hate:
QB Cam Ward
Fantasy managers should not be starting Cam Ward in any formats in Week 14. He has scored under 14 fantasy points in 11 of his 12 starts this season, and the Browns have given up the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing QBs. Considering Ward has thrown just seven passing touchdowns all year, he is a must-sit in a tough matchup.
Titans RBs
Both Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears have been untrustworthy fantasy options this year. With a matchup against the Browns in Week 14 upcoming, both Titans RBs should be sat in almost all formats. Cleveland ranks eighth in fantasy points allowed, ninth in rush yards allowed, and seventh in rush touchdowns allowed to opposing RBs in 2025.
Other Matchups:
Shedeur Sanders will make his third career start this weekend. However, he should only be started in extremely deep Superflex formats. He has scored under 12 fantasy points in both of his first two starts, and there is just too much risk in rolling with him in most leagues.
Quinshon Judkins has been a reliable RB option over the past two weeks. He scored 16.7 PPR fantasy points in Week 12 and then scored 15.9 PPR fantasy points last week against the 49ers. Therefore, Judkins will be a solid RB2 play against the Titans. Tennessee has given up the second-most rushing touchdowns to opposing RBs in 2025.
WR Jerry Jeudy
Jerry Jeudy is almost unstartable in all formats this week. He has caught just four passes for 65 yards in two games with Sanders and has seen just seven targets in those two contests. Even though the Titans just let Meyers total six catches for 90 yards and one touchdown last week, Jeudy is more of a WR5 this week.
TE Gunnar Helm
The TE to own in this Tennessee offense is Gunnar Helm. Helm has caught at least six passes in back-to-back games and has seen 19 targets since the team's Week 10 bye. As a result, Helm can be started as a TE1 in some 18-plus team leagues this week. The Browns have allowed a TE to score in double figures in PPR formats in three consecutive contests.
Harold Fannin Jr. is emerging as a reliable option in this Cleveland offense. He has finished as a top-16 fantasy TE in both of Sanders' starts this year, which included a three-catch, 43-yard, one-touchdown performance last week against the 49ers. Given that the Titans allowed Strange to score 13.5 PPR fantasy points last week, Fannin could be started in some 16-plus team leagues.
Injuries:
None
Washington Commanders at Minnesota Vikings
Matchups We Love:
J.J. McCarthy will return following a one-game absence. While things haven't been great for McCarthy, he is worth a look in some Superflex formats this week. He has finished as a top-16 fantasy QB in three of his six starts, and the Commanders have been one of the worst defenses against QBs this season. Washington has allowed over 17 fantasy points to a QB in six of its last seven contests.
Aaron Jones hasn't been the most reliable fantasy RB option in recent weeks. He has scored under 10 PPR fantasy points in back-to-back games and has seen under 10 carries in four of the last five weeks. However, Jones will come in as a solid RB2 play this week against the Commanders. Washington has given up the fifth-most fantasy points to RBs this year.
Vikings WRs
At this point in the season, both Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison are hard to trust. Jefferson hasn't finished as a WR1 since Week 5, and Addison hasn't scored more than 10 PPR fantasy points since Week 8. Nevertheless, both WRs have a great matchup in Week 14 against a Commanders secondary that ranks 28th in fantasy points allowed and 29th in receiving yards allowed per game.
So, Jefferson will come in as a WR2, and Addison will be more of a viable flex play in 14-plus team leagues.
Matchups We Hate:
Commanders WRs
Terry McLaurin had his best fantasy performance of the season last week, totaling 22.6 PPR fantasy points. That return hurt Deebo Samuel Sr. a bit, considering he scored just 11.1 PPR fantasy points in that game. Both WRs, though, should be downgraded in a tough matchup against the Vikings. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was held to a season-low 23 yards last week. That makes McLaurin and Samuel more in the WR3 category.
Other Matchups:
After practicing in full on Thursday, signs point to Jayden Daniels returning in Week 14. If he returns, Daniels will be a low-end QB1. He has scored over 17 fantasy points in five of his six starts this season, and the Vikings have allowed some big rushing days to QBs. Caleb Williams (58 yards), Justin Herbert (62 yards), and Jackson (36 yards) all had solid rushing performances against Minnesota.
Chris Rodriguez Jr. appears to be the preferred RB in this Washington offense. He has scored a touchdown in three of the past four games and has seen double-digit carries in back-to-back contests. However, Rodriguez will be a riskier flex play this week against the Vikings. His rush share has eclipsed 35% just once this year.
TE Zach Ertz
Zach Ertz is coming off his best game of the season, catching 10 passes for 106 yards. With Daniels trending to play in Week 14, Ertz should remain a viable TE1 option this week against the Vikings. Minnesota has allowed a top-10 fantasy TE finish in four of its past six contests.
T.J. Hockenson finished as the overall TE11 last week for the first time since Week 3. However, Hockenson will be more of a TE2 in Week 14 against the Commanders. McCarthy hasn't really looked his way in the passing game in his six starts, and Washington ranks 14th in receptions allowed per game to the TE position.
Injuries:
- Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder)
Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons
Matchups We Love:
Seahawks RBs
Both Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet are potential starts this week. Walker has finished as a top-18 fantasy RB in two of the last three weeks, and Charbonnet has scored a touchdown in three of the past four games. Since the Falcons have allowed five rushing touchdowns since Week 9, Walker will be a solid RB2, and Charbonnet will be a viable flex option in 12-plus team leagues.
Kyle Pitts had one of his better fantasy outputs of the season last week, totaling seven catches for 82 yards. Now, he gets a fantastic matchup against a Seahawks defense that has allowed a top-12 fantasy TE finish in four straight contests. For that reason, Pitts will be a strong TE1 option in Week 14. He has a 25% target with Kirk Cousins over the past two weeks.
Matchups We Hate:
TE AJ Barner
After finishing as the overall TE4 in Week 11, AJ Barner has scored under eight PPR fantasy points in back-to-back games. So, he was already a risky TE1 option in most leagues this week. On top of that, Barner will now face a Falcons defense that has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points and third-fewest receptions to opposing TEs this year. So, the Seattle playmaker should be avoided in most formats.
Other Matchups:
QB Sam Darnold
Sam Darnold has definitely cooled off in fantasy. He has scored under 10 fantasy points in three of the last four games and currently ranks as the QB26 in fantasy points per game (14.8). As a result, Darnold will be more of a middle-of-the-pack QB2 against the Falcons this week. Atlanta is allowing just 209 pass yards per game this season.
SAM DARNOLD FOUR TD PASSES IN THE FIRST HALF.

Stream on @NFLPlus + Peacock pic.twitter.com/fax1SUUUBo— NFL (@NFL) November 3, 2025
QB Kirk Cousins
Starting Kirk Cousins in any Superflex formats is not the best idea against this Seattle secondary. The Seahawks have allowed the 13th-fewest fantasy points to QBs this season and are giving up just 1.3 passing touchdowns per game. Given that Cousins could be without Drake London again this week, he will be a lower-end QB2.
RB Bijan Robinson
Bijan Robinson will remain a must-start RB1 this week against the Seahawks. Although Seattle has been one of the better run defenses in the NFL this year, fantasy managers aren't sitting him in any format. He is coming off a game in Week 13 in which he scored 30.3 PPR fantasy points.
Falcons WRs
With London failing to practice on both Wednesday and Thursday, all signs point to him sitting out this week's game. That could mean more opportunities for Darnell Mooney in the passing game. However, Mooney should only be started in deeper 16-plus team leagues this week. He has only caught five passes over the past two games with Cousins.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba had his first bad game of the season last week. He caught just two passes for 23 yards en route to a WR71 PPR fantasy finish. Despite that performance, fantasy managers should be starting him in all formats this week. Smith-Njigba has scored at least 20 PPR fantasy points in seven of his past eight games.
Injuries:
- Drake London (knee)
Cincinnati Bengals at Buffalo Bills
Matchups We Love:
QB Josh Allen
Josh Allen will continue to be a must-start QB1 in Week 14 against the Bengals. Although he has scored under 20 fantasy points in back-to-back games, Allen is in a prime spot to have a big fantasy game this weekend. Cincinnati has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points and the fourth-most passing touchdowns to QBs this year.
RB Chase Brown
Chase Brown has been a really consistent RB1 option for fantasy managers over the last six weeks. He has scored at least 15 PPR fantasy points in every game since Week 8 and has rushed for over 75 yards in three consecutive games. Therefore, fantasy managers should continue to start him as a low-end RB1 against a Bills defense that has given up the most rushing touchdowns to the position.
RB James Cook
James Cook has simply been one of the best rushers in the NFL in 2025. His 102.3 rush yards per game rank second among all RBs, and his 18.6 PPR fantasy points per game rank as the RB6 on the year. That makes Cook an easy RB1 start this week against the Bengals. Cincinnati ranks dead last in both fantasy points allowed and rush yards allowed to RBs.
Dalton Kincaid hasn't played since Week 10 due to an ongoing hamstring injury. If he suits up this week, though, Kincaid will be a sneaky TE1 play against the Cincinnati Bengals. No defense has been worse against TEs in fantasy this year than the Bengals. They rank dead last in fantasy points allowed, receptions allowed, receiving yards allowed, and touchdowns allowed. So, Kincaid could be in for a strong game if he plays.
Matchups We Hate:
QB Joe Burrow
Joe Burrow looked great in his return last week, throwing for 261 yards and two touchdowns en route to a QB11 finish. This week, he will have to go up against a Bills defense that has allowed just one QB (Mayfield) to finish top-12 at the position since Week 2. While you are likely still starting Burrow in most formats, expectations should be tempered.
Other Matchups:
Khalil Shakir wasn't really involved in the passing game last week, as he caught just one pass for five yards. That now marks the second time in three weeks that Shakir has caught just one pass in a game. Still, he will be a high-floor WR3 option this week against the Bengals. Shakir has seen at least eight targets in three of the past five contests.
Bengals WRs
Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins will both be strong plays in Week 14 against the Bills. Chase is a must-start WR1 every week, and Higgins will have WR2 upside in this contest. Although Buffalo has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to outside WRs this year, it's hard to sit Higgins with Burrow back under center. So, he is a top-20 WR play in a game that could feature a lot of points.
Injuries:
None
Matchup Analysis - Sunday Afternoon Games
Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders
Matchups We Love:
Broncos WRs
Both Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin are solid starts this week. Sutton is coming off a game where he caught five passes for 62 yards and one touchdown, and Franklin has finished as a top-24 WR in three of his last five games. Considering the Raiders have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing WRs this year, Sutton will be a WR2 and Franklin will be a WR3 in fantasy this week.
Matchups We Hate:
QB Geno Smith
It would be wise to sit Geno Smith in all Superflex formats this week. He has scored under 15 fantasy points in nine of his last 10 games, which included scoring just 5.4 PPR fantasy points against the Broncos back in Week 10. So, Smith will be a lower-end QB2 against a Denver defense that has given up the fewest passing touchdowns this year.
Ashton Jeanty isn't necessarily a must-start RB in fantasy this week. Although Jeanty scored 15.3 PPR fantasy points against the Broncos in Week 10, Denver is a tough matchup for the rookie running back. Denver has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points, the seventh-fewest rush yards, and the fewest receptions to opposing RBs. So, Jeanty is a lower-end RB2.
WR Tre Tucker
Despite operating as the WR1 in this Las Vegas offense, Tre Tucker has scored under 10 PPR fantasy points or fewer in four of the past five games. Given that he will likely be matched up against Patrick Surtain II on the outside, Tucker should be sat in most lineups. Denver has allowed just four receiving touchdowns to WRs this season.
TE Evan Engram
Evan Engram had his best fantasy game of the season in Week 13. He caught six passes for a season-high 79 yards en route to a 13.9 PPR fantasy point day. Unfortunately, fantasy managers shouldn't be starting Engram as a TE1 in most formats this weekend. The Raiders have allowed only two TEs to finish top-14 at the position through 13 weeks.
Other Matchups:
QB Bo Nix
Even though Bo Nix hasn't finished as a top-12 fantasy QB since Week 8, he will come in as a lower-end QB1 this week. Nix has thrown for over 290 yards in consecutive games, and Las Vegas has given up eight passing touchdowns over the last four weeks. The Raiders have also allowed a top-12 fantasy QB in three of their past six contests.
RB RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey only played 47% of the team's offensive snaps last week, which is concerning for his fantasy value the rest of the season. He has also totaled under 50 yards on the ground in every game since Week 5. However, Harvey will be a solid RB2 play due to his potential in the passing game. Las Vegas has allowed three RBs to finish top-12 at the position over the last two weeks.
TE Brock Bowers
Brock Bowers will remain a must-start TE1 in Week 14. Even though he only caught one pass for 31 yards in his last meeting against the Broncos in Week 10, you are still starting him in every format. Bowers just finished as the overall TE1 in Week 13 and has finished top-7 at the position in four of the past five weeks.
Injuries:
None
Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers
Matchups We Love:
Packers WRs
Both Matthew Golden and Jayden Reed could come back from their respective injuries in Week 14. However, the only two WRs that fantasy managers should be starting in this offense this week are Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson. Doubs will be more of a low-end flex option in 12-plus team leagues following a 12 PPR point fantasy day last week, while Watson will creep into high-end WR3 territory.
Watson finished with a 33.3% target share in Week 12 and a 34.5% target share last week. With two top-12 fantasy WR finishes since Week 11, Watson is a fantastic play this weekend. The Bears' defense is getting healthier, but this is still a secondary that allowed A.J. Brown to total 10 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns on Black Friday.
Matchups We Hate:
Caleb Williams has been a very up-and-down fantasy QB option this year. Since Week 6, Williams has four top-10 fantasy QB finishes and three finishes outside the top-20 at the position. For this week, Williams will be more of a QB2 play against the Packers. Green Bay has let only one QB finish inside the top-12 at the QB position since Week 8.
Other Matchups:
QB Jordan Love
Jordan Love hasn't necessarily been a consistent QB1 play in 2025. However, Love is heating up. He finished as the QB7 in Week 11 and then finished as the overall QB2 last week against the Lions. So, he will be a solid QB1 play in 14-plus team leagues this week against the Bears. Chicago has given up the third-most passing touchdowns through 13 weeks.
Bears RBs
Both D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai ran all over the Eagles' defense last week. Swift ran for 125 yards and one touchdown, and Monangai totaled 130 yards and one touchdown. While we shouldn't expect those numbers again in Week 14 against the Packers, both Bears RBs are worth a look in some leagues.
Just a few weeks ago, this Packers defense allowed both Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary to score above 17 PPR fantasy points in a game. That makes Swift a solid RB2, and Monangai a potential flex option in 12-plus team leagues this week.
RB Josh Jacobs
Josh Jacobs will enter the week as a strong RB1 play this week. He has scored a touchdown in eight of his 11 games this season, and the Bears have allowed their fair share of big rushing games to RBs this year. Back in Week 12, Gainwell ran for 92 yards en route to an RB9 PPR fantasy finish. So, start Jacobs in all formats.
Bears WRs
With back-to-back no practices to start the week, Rome Odunze could be in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season. Even if he does suit up, Odunze is more of a WR3 play against the Packers. He has finished with fewer than nine PPR fantasy points in six of the past eight weeks. As for D.J. Moore, he will be a lower-end flex play following a two-catch outing last week.
Colston Loveland has been a better fantasy option in recent weeks. He has caught at least three passes in seven consecutive games, and his target share has hovered around 16% since Week 7. Nevertheless, Loveland should only be started as a TE1 in some 16-plus team leagues this week. The Packers have allowed just one TE to finish as a top-12 fantasy option since Week 5.
Injuries:
- Rome Odunze (foot)

Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals
Matchups We Love:
Kyren Williams has seen his snap share drop since the team's Week 8 bye, but he has still produced solid fantasy numbers over the last five games. So, he will still be a strong RB2 play in Week 14 against the Cardinals. Arizona has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing RBs since Week 10, and Bucky Irving just finished as the overall RB15 last week.
Matchups We Hate:
Jacoby Brissett is the only quarterback who has finished top-12 at the position in seven straight games. Last week, Brissett scored 20.6 PPR fantasy points behind a QB10 fantasy finish. However, Brissett will be more of a QB2 play this week against the Rams. Los Angeles has allowed just two QBs to finish top-12 at the position since Week 6.
Cardinals RBs
It appears that Trey Benson will be out another week after not practicing on both Wednesday and Thursday. That means this Arizona backfield could consist of Bam Knight, Emari Demercado (who could return in Week 14), and Michael Carter. All three of those RBs, though, are risky plays in all formats. The Rams rank fourth in fantasy points allowed and first in rush touchdowns allowed to RBs this year.
Other Matchups:
Matthew Stafford struggled through the air in last week's loss, but fantasy managers should expect a bounce-back performance from him in Week 14. He has scored above 22 fantasy points in six of his last nine games, and the Cardinals have let up a top-10 fantasy QB finish in two of their past three games. So, Stafford is a solid QB1 option.
Rams WRs
Both Puka Nacua and Davante Adams should be in all fantasy lineups this week. Nacua hasn't been his usual dominant self in fantasy in recent games, but he is still a must-start WR1. He has totaled at least 70 receiving yards in nine of his 11 games this season. As for Adams, he will be a strong WR2 play in all formats. The touchdown machine has caught 11 touchdown passes in his last six contests.
Davante Adams goes up and gets his 2nd TD of the game!

Cardinals WRs
There is a strong chance that Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) does not play in Week 14. If he does wind up missing this game, Michael Wilson becomes a must-start WR1 in all formats. In two games without Harrison this season, Wilson has scored 33.5 PPR fantasy points (Week 11) and 21.8 PPR fantasy points (Week 12).
TE Trey McBride
Trey McBride should continue to be in all fantasy lineups in Week 14. He has finished as a top-2 fantasy TE in four straight games and is the current TE1 in all fantasy formats. So, he is a must-start TE1 in this matchup against the Rams.
TE Colby Parkinson
Colby Parkinson will be a touchdown-dependent TE1 play this week against the Cardinals. He has finished as a top-12 fantasy TE in three of the past four games, thanks to receiving touchdowns in Week 10, Week 11, and Week 12. Parkinson does have some TE1 potential in 18-plus team leagues this week. The Cardinals have allowed a TE to catch at least five passes in a game in five of their previous seven contests.
Injuries:
- Trey Benson (ankle)
- Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel)
Matchup Analysis - Sunday Night Football
Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs
Matchups We Love:
None
Matchups We Hate:
No quarterback wants to face this Texans defense right now. This secondary has held Allen (QB21) and Daniel Jones (QB17) to lower than 17 fantasy points in back-to-back games and has yet to allow a top-12 fantasy QB through 13 weeks. Therefore, Patrick Mahomes will be a riskier QB1 play this week.
RB Woody Marks
The opportunities have been there for Woody Marks in recent weeks. He has seen at least 17 touches in three straight games and has totaled a rush share of over 55% in four consecutive weeks. However, the fantasy production hasn't been there with three straight performances of under eight PPR fantasy points. Considering the Chiefs rank sixth in fantasy points allowed to RBs, Marks is a risky RB2.
TE Travis Kelce
You likely aren't sitting Travis Kelce in most formats this week, but this matchup against the Texans isn't ideal. Houston has given up the fifth-fewest fantasy points to the opposing TEs this year, and only two TEs have finished as top-12 options at the position since Week 4. So, Kelce will be a lower-end TE1.
Other Matchups:
QB C.J. Stroud
C.J. Stroud made his return last week following a multi-game absence and only finished as the QB26 in fantasy. Although the Chiefs have given up a top-12 fantasy QB finish in three of their last four games, Stroud will come in as a middle-of-the-pack QB2 in Superflex formats. The Texans signal-caller has finished as a top-12 fantasy QB just twice this season.
Chiefs RBs
Kareem Hunt resumed his RB1 duties last week, even with Isiah Pacheco back in the picture. Hunt saw 14 carries and played 64% of the team's offensive snaps. Therefore, Hunt will be a better play than Pacheco this week. However, Hunt will be more of a touchdown-dependent RB3 this week against a Texans defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest rush yards.
WR Rashee Rice
Rashee Rice is the only Chiefs WR worth starting in most formats this week. As a matter of fact, Rice should be started in all formats in Week 14. He likely won't see the Derek Stingley Jr. shadow in this game, considering Stingley has played only 1% of his snaps in the slot this year. So, fantasy managers can trust Rice as a WR1.
WR Nico Collins
Nico Collins has been on a nice stretch for fantasy managers. He has totaled over 20 PPR fantasy points in three of his last four games and has seen at least 10 targets in five of his past six contests. So, Collins should be in all fantasy lineups this week. Both George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb totaled over 85 receiving yards against this secondary last week.
TE Dalton Schultz
Dalton Schultz has been a reliable TE1 play over the past two months. He has finished as a top-10 option at the position in five of the last seven weeks and is coming off a game in which he caught seven passes for 55 yards. That's enough reason to start Schultz in most leagues in Week 14. The Chiefs have allowed at least five catches to a TE in three of their previous four games.
Injuries:
None
Matchup Analysis - Monday Night Football
Philadelphia Eagles at Los Angeles Chargers
Matchups We Love:
None
Matchups We Hate:
QB Jalen Hurts
This is going to be a tough matchup for Jalen Hurts. Not only has he finished outside the top-12 at the QB position in three of his last four games, but the Chargers have only allowed two QBs to finish top-12 since Week 5. While you are likely starting Hurts as a QB1 in almost all formats, expectations should be tempered.
Eagles WRs
No defense has allowed fewer fantasy points to opposing WRs than the Los Angeles Chargers. Opposing WRs are averaging 24.8 PPR fantasy points per game against this defense. So, both DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown should be downgraded a bit in this game. However, Brown will still be a WR2 following back-to-back big-time performances, and Smith will be a lower-end WR2.
TE Oronde Gadsden II
With three straight games under 10 PPR fantasy points, managers should think about starting another TE this week. The Eagles have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points, second-fewest receiving yards, and sixth-fewest receptions per game to the position. That makes Oronde Gadsden II more of a TE2 play in Week 14.
Dallas Goedert can't be trusted as a TE1 in most fantasy leagues this week. He has finished outside the top-16 at the TE position in four straight games and is averaging just 5.4 PPR fantasy points per game since Week 10. Additionally, Goedert will face a Chargers defense that has allowed just two TEs to finish top-12 at the position this year.
Chargers WRs
Both Quentin Johnston and Ladd McConkey have tougher matchups this week. Quinyon Mitchell will likely be matched up against Johnston in this game, and Cooper DeJean will probably match up against McConkey. Those two CBs held the Bears' WRs to subpar fantasy games last week. So, Johnston is more of a WR4 this week, while McConkey will be a lower-end WR2.
Other Matchups:
Chargers QBs
It remains to be seen if Herbert (hand) will be healthy enough to play in Week 14. If he does, he might only be worth starting in 14-plus team leagues. He just got surgery on his hand on Monday and has finished outside the top-16 at the QB position in three straight games. If he can't go, Trey Lance will draw the start. Lance would be more of a QB2 option against the Eagles.
Chargers RBs
There's a strong chance that Omarion Hampton makes his return in Week 14 against the Eagles. If he is good to go for this game, he will come in as a solid RB2 play. While Hampton will almost certainly be limited in his first game back, there is potential for him to have a solid fantasy day. The Eagles just let the Bears run for over 250 yards and two touchdowns last week.
Things are not great for Saquon Barkley right now. He has totaled under 13.5 PPR fantasy points in six of his last seven games and was held to just 5.6 PPR fantasy points last week against the Bears. So, Barkley will be more of an RB2 option this week against a Chargers defense that has played opposing RBs well this season.
Injuries:
- Justin Herbert (hand)
- Omarion Hampton (ankle)
