Jonathan Taylor Remains an Elite RB1 in Week 14 vs. Jaguars
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is one of the short favorites to win Offensive Player of the Year as he's put together a historically great season through 12 games so far. Taylor has recorded 226 carries for a league-leading 1,282 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns while adding 35 receptions for 304 yards and two more touchdowns on 40 targets as a receiver. Taylor is averaging 24.8 PPR points per game, only trailing Christian McCaffrey among running backs this season. The superstar running back has cooled off in the past two games, though, totaling 143 yards and no touchdowns on 37 carries following his monster day against the Falcons in Week 10, when he racked up 244 rushing yards and three touchdowns. That was the second-most rushing yards in a game for his career, trailing only his 253-yard outing against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17 of 2021. Taylor will be looking for a repeat of that performance on Sunday against the Jaguars and ranks as RotoBaller's RB3 in PPR leagues for Week 14.

Lamar Jackson a Low-End QB1 Against Steelers
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has endured quite the rough stretch of fantasy finishes and injuries over the last few weeks. He's dealt with a toe issue, ankle issue, and a hamstring injury earlier in the season. While Jackson has looked rough due to the injuries or not, the Ravens haven't helped him out by making sloppy plays like fumbling at the goal line and getting touchdowns called back. In Week 14, Jackson and company will be going up against their AFC North rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is a battle for first in the division. With his uncharacteristic struggles this year along with his issues against the Steelers (3-5 record, eight touchdowns and nine interceptions), the two-time MVP is projected as QB11 in RotoBaller's rankings. That's despite the fact that the Steelers' defense has been very generous to opposing quarterbacks (ranked 25th).

Daniel Jones a Borderline QB1 in Week 14 Against Jacksonville
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has been managing a fractured fibula in recent weeks, which has noticeably impacted his mobility. His production has fallen off after an outstanding start to his Colts tenure early in the season. Over his first eight games, the former New York Giant completed 71.2% of his passes for 2,062 passing yards with 13 touchdowns to three interceptions, while adding 30 carries for 86 yards and four more scores on the ground. He ranked as the QB5 in total fantasy points per game during that time. Jones has remained solid overall, but as the schedule has gotten more challenging and injuries have mounted, he's become more mistake-prone, committing seven turnovers and taking 13 sacks in the past four games. He'll have an opportunity to bounce back in Week 14 against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars, who have been a bottom-10 defense in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this season.

Darnell Mooney a Low-End WR3 in Tough Matchup Against Seattle
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney underwhelmed last week with his opportunity to produce while the team's top receiver, Drake London (knee), was out with an injury, catching just two of his five targets for 25 scoreless yards. It would be misguided to expect the same production as London out of Mooney, though, as the latter is more of a downfield threat and is five inches shorter, which tends to limit his effectiveness in the red zone. Nevertheless, the 28-year-old will have another opportunity to produce in Week 14 at home against the Seahawks, with London once again ruled out. Seattle has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers for the season and is yielding just 152.7 yards per game through the air over their last three games. Combined with Kirk Cousins' propensity to spread the ball around, Mooney sets up as a low-end WR3 in Week 14.

Jake Moody a Solid Streaming Option in Week 14 Against Vikings
Washington Commanders kicker Jake Moody was perfect in his team debut last week against the Denver Broncos, nailing both field-goal attempts and two extra points. Moody has made 10 of his last 11 attempts since missing two kicks in Week 1 with the San Francisco 49ers and subsequently being released. The 26-year-old profiles as a solid option in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings, with Washington's offense consistently able to move the ball into scoring position. The return of quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) also boosts the appeal of streaming Moody in fantasy football with Washington's offense as close to full health as it's been all season.

Commanders Defense has Top-10 Potential in Week 14 Against Vikings
The Washington Commanders' defense has been ravaged by injury this season, losing their top three edge rushers and two starting cornerbacks. They've gotten healthier recently with the return of safety Will Harris, but they still profile as one of the worst defenses in the league. However, Washington is in a great spot to perform well against the J.J. McCarthy-led Vikings in Week 14. McCarthy has been a turnover machine this season, committing turnovers in each one of his starts and throwing multiple interceptions in four of his six starts. The second-year quarterback also owns the second-highest sack rate in the league at 11.17%. Washington has struggled to generate consistent pressure and could have trouble defending the run, but they've performed better in the past two games with head coach Dan Quinn taking over the play-calling duties. Quinn has opted to play a heavy amount of zone coverage with a bend-but-don't-break style of defense, which still concedes plenty of yards, but tightens up in the red zone. With how inept the Vikings offense has looked lately, Washington projects as a potential top-10 fantasy defense in Week 14.

Colston Loveland Set for Expanded Week 14 Role
Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland should see an improved target share in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers. The 2025 first-round pick has stuttered as of late, totaling just 14 receptions for 172 yards and a touchdown in his last four games. Despite his high draft capital and immense upside, veteran Cole Kmet continues to out-snap the rookie, playing 69% of the snaps in Week 14, while Loveland played just 60%. With Rome Odunze (foot) ruled out for Week 14, the Bears could rely on two-TE sets a lot against the Packers, especially with star pass rusher Micah Parsons demanding double-teams. The Packers have allowed the 12th fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season, but this all comes down to whether the Bears can add more passing volume in Week 14. Loveland offers low-end starting upside in Week 14, who should be a top target in the red zone with Odunze out.

Olamide Zaccheaus Still Risky Despite Vacated Targets
Chicago Bears wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus enters Week 14 with an uptick in volume expected. Zaccheaus has been phased out of the Bears' offense as of late, totaling just four receptions for 30 yards in his last four games. With the emergence of rookie receiver Luther Burden III, Zaccheaus has played just 27% of the snaps in the past three games. Now, top target Rome Odunze (foot) has been ruled out for Week 14's game against the Green Bay Packers, which should open up targets for Zaccheaus and the other receivers. There are still concerns surrounding Zaccheaus' outlook this week, including the lack of volume from the offense. Caleb Williams currently ranks 23rd in the NFL in completions this season, which makes it very difficult for Zaccheaus to be an option this week, with his limited workload. While the veteran receiver should be a factor in Green Bay this week, he does not offer enough upside to be a starting option.

Luther Burden III A Boom-or-Bust Option Against Packers
Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III enters Week 14 with starting value for the first time this season. In the previous four games, Burden has tallied 13 receptions for 175 yards, which ranks third among Bears' pass catchers, only behind Rome Odunze and Colston Loveland. Now, Odunze (foot) is out for this week's matchup and is currently "week to week" with a stress fracture in his foot. With Caleb Williams' number one target out, the rookie receiver has a chance to step up in a big way this week. The only thing holding him back from being a must-start option this week is the lack of passing volume from the Bears in recent weeks and a tough matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Fantasy managers should consider Burden a boom or bust WR3 in Week 14.

Puka Nacua's Stardom Keeps Him in High-End WR1 Tier for Week 14
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua continues to play at a superstar level. Last week against the Carolina Panthers, he caught six of nine targets for 72 yards and made a jaw-dropping one-handed catch near the sideline. He now has 1,092 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns this year, ranking as the overall WR4 in PPR leagues. The 24-year-old has shown that he can co-exist with Davante Adams. Nacua has been the catch and yardage machine in this offense, while Adams is the touchdown threat. Both players are top fantasy receivers for Week 14, with RotoBaller's expert rankings listing Nacua as the WR6 and Adams as the WR7. The Rams are taking on an Arizona Cardinals defense that has allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, but Nacua has proven that he is matchup-proof and should be deployed as a high-end WR1 regardless of his opponent.

D.J. Moore has More Upside in Week 14 With Teammate Out
Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore is likely to see an increase in targets in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers. It's been a quiet season for the perennial 1,000-yard receiver, who is averaging the fewest receptions and yards of his career this year. This could be the bounce-back game that Moore and his fantasy managers have been waiting for. Rome Odunze (foot) has been ruled out for Week 14, which gives Moore the chance to see his usual WR1 volume. Although the Packers' defense has been strong against wide receivers this season, Moore has only scored under double-digit fantasy points once in his six career matchups against this defense. For the first time since early in the season, Moore is a clear starting option that fantasy managers should feel confident about placing in their lineups.

Kyle Monangai Off Injury Report, Has Starting Value Against Packers
Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai (ankle) is off the injury report and good to go in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers. The 2025 seventh-round pick has been a breakout star for the Bears' rushing attack. In his last seven games, Monangai has averaged 15 attempts for 79.8 yards and five touchdowns, averaging 13.2 PPR points per game during that stretch. Despite entering the season as an afterthought behind D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson, Monangai has garnered a 46% snap share in the past three games. A tough matchup is on the way in Week 14, as the Packers have allowed the seventh-fewest rushing yards in the NFL this season. With all the bye weeks and countless injuries around the NFL, fantasy managers can feel comfortable starting Monangai as a low-end RB2 this week.

D'Andre Swift Faces Tough Test Against Packers
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift is looking to sustain his elite productivity in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers. Swift had a monster game in Week 13, totaling 138 scrimmage yards and a touchdown against the defending champion, Philadelphia Eagles. While Swift has averaged 14.4 PPR fantasy points per game this season, rookie running back Kyle Monangai has been performing like a number-one running back as well. Over the past three weeks, the split has been nearly even, with Swift playing 52% of the snaps and Monangai playing 46%. The matchup is not ideal as well, with the Packers ranking as the seventh-best run defense in the NFL this season. Swift's fantasy value will come down to game script, as he should be considered a low-end RB2 in Week 14.

Davante Adams Carries Six-Game Touchdown Streak Into Week 14
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams continues to exceed expectations, and he extended his terrific touchdown streak to six games last week. During that six-week span, he has 11 trips to the end zone and ranks as the overall WR3 in half-PPR leagues. Perhaps the biggest hole in Adams' game has been his catch volume. He hasn't caught more than six passes in a single game this year, and he's averaging a relatively modest 4.3 catches per game. However, he has made up for it with his absurd touchdown efficiency. He's on pace to break his career-best 18 touchdowns in a single season, needing just four more touchdowns over the final five games. Adams has shown that he can co-exist with Puka Nacua in fantasy football, with Adams being the touchdown threat while Nacua is the target and yardage machine. The 32-year-old ranks as the overall WR7 in RotoBaller's fantasy rankings for Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals, and he should be started in all leagues. Arizona has allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, but Adams has shown that he is matchup-proof.

Zach Ertz a Borderline TE1 for Week 14 Against Minnesota
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz posted a massive receiving line in Week 13 against Denver, totaling 10 receptions for 106 yards on 13 targets. It marked the veteran's first 100-yard performance since last season's NFC Championship game against his former team in the Philadelphia Eagles. The 35-year-old has been a reliable target for both quarterbacks Marcus Mariota and Jayden Daniels (elbow) this season, and Daniels is slated to return in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings. Ertz's fantasy value is higher with Daniels at the helm, as he's been his go-to target down in the red zone, scoring 11 touchdowns in 23 games together. Daniels should be looking Ertz's direction often on Sunday against a blitz-happy Vikings defense. He ranks as RotoBaller's TE15 in PPR leagues in Week 14.
