Ravens D/ST is an Interesting Option in Week 14
The Baltimore Ravens D/ST had a rough go of things in Week 13 when Joe Burrow returned to the field and put up 32 points against them. While they did force one turnover, it was difficult to overcome their own offense coughing the ball up five times. In Week 14, they go up against the Pittsburgh Steelers who are ranked 26th against opposing fantasy defenses over the last four weeks. Aaron Rodgers has had some injury issues, and their offense ranks right in the middle of the pack in points per game (23.4). This makes the Ravens D/ST a solid streaming option as the projected D/ST12 in RotoBaller's rankings.

Quinshon Judkins in Line for Heavy Workload in Week 14
Across 11 games this season, Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins has recorded 758 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 196 carries. While the 22-year-old hasn't always been particularly efficient as a rusher this season, the Browns continue to lean on him in the run game. Over his last four outings, Judkins is averaging 19.5 carries per contest. Judkins also recorded three catches for 18 yards in Week 13. With primary Browns receiving back Dylan Sampson (calf) questionable to play in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans, Judkins could see more work in the passing game. Tennessee currently ranks 26th among NFL defenses in yards per carry allowed (4.6) and is tied for 29th in rushing touchdowns allowed (17). Judkins should see a heavy workload on Sunday and profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 14.

Tyler Allgeier a Boom/Bust Flex Option in Difficult Matchup Vs. Seahawks
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier continued his improbable run of scoring a touchdown on limited production last week, rushing just eight times for 20 yards (2.5 yards per carry), but found the end zone for the eighth time this season. His eight touchdowns are a team-high total, and he'll get a chance to keep it rolling in Week 14 against the Seahawks. It will be tough sledding, though, against a Seattle defense that has yielded the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, which is a result of an 88.8 opponent rush yards per game average and 3.8 yards per attempt, both the second-lowest marks in the league. Still, Allgeier has managed to defy the odds to this point given his modest output, so he's as good a dice roll as any out there for fantasy managers in need of an RB3/Flex play this week.

Tyler Loop Remains a Top Option in Week 14
Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop unfortunately didn't deliver for fantasy managers in Week 13. The Ravens' offense could only muster up 14 points against one of the worst defenses in the league. Loop didn't attempt any field goals, but made both of his extra points. In Week 14, they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers who allow 9.08 fantasy points per game to kickers this season. The Steelers passing defense hasn't been great, but the Ravens need to be more reliable getting the ball into field goal range. For Week 14, Loop is projected as the K8 in RotoBaller's rankings, which makes him a solid play in most leagues.

Shedeur Sanders Tough to Trust Despite Favorable Week 14 Matchup
Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders will make his third NFL start in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. The 23-year-old has struggled across three games (two starts) worth of action so far this season, completing 50.8% of his pass attempts for 405 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. On paper, Sanders has a favorable matchup in Week 14 against Tennessee. Entering the week, the Titans rank 31st among NFL defenses in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.9). Still, Sanders is currently averaging just 6.6 yards per pass attempt and has yet to throw more than 25 passes in a game this season. Cleveland could look to lean on its defense and run game to get the win against Tennessee. At best, Sanders profiles as a low-end fantasy QB2 in Week 14 against the Titans.

Keaton Mitchell Facing an Uphill Battle in Week 14
Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell reached double-digit fantasy points for the first time this season against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13. He even finished as the RB27 in half-PPR formats, while getting a 13% snap share. Since Justice Hill (neck) remains sidelined, Mitchell has taken over the pass-catching work out of the backfield. He saw three targets and two carries in their previous game, but is still very far behind Derrick Henry. The Pittsburgh Steelers also present a very tough matchup against opposing run games, so Mitchell is projected as the RB42 on RotoBaller's rankings.

Cardinals Looking to Move on From Kyler Murray?
Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports that "it wouldn't surprise a lot of league executives if the Cardinals decide to move on" from quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) after the 2025 season. Murray has not played since Week 5 due to a foot injury, and reportedly will not return this season. The 28-year-old struggled across five starts, completing 68.3% of his pass attempts for 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions. He has roughly $37 million in fully guaranteed money remaining on his current contract, but Russini reports that the Cardinals could "try to trade him or simply release him." In the midst of a disastrous 2025 season, it appears Arizona is looking to hit the reset button heading into 2026. There will almost certainly be interest from quarterback-needy teams in Murray in the offseason, but his contract could be a complicating factor in trade negotiations.

DeAndre Hopkins a Dart Throw Option Vs. Steelers
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins registered his best fantasy performance in half-PPR leagues since Week 5. The problem is that he only had four fantasy points in that game against the Cincinnati Bengals, which extends his streak of games with less than 10 fantasy points to 10 games. Despite the fact that he draws a favorable matchup in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Hopkins is more of a dart throw option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues. In RotoBaller's rankings, Hopkins is projected as the WR72, so there should be better options on the waiver wire in standard-sized leagues.

Chargers "Expecting" Justin Herbert to Play in Week 14
Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports that "people I spoke to on the Chargers are expecting" quarterback Justin Herbert (hand) to play in Week 14 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Herbert suffered a metacarpal fracture in his left hand during his team's Week 13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and had surgery this past Monday. He's been limited in practice this week, but it sounds as though he will try to give it a go against Philadelphia on Monday night. The 27-year-old has completed 66.9% of his passes for 2,842 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions across 12 starts so far this season. If Herbert suffers a setback and is unable to go, Trey Lance would take over under center for Los Angeles. If active, Herbert profiles as a mid-tier fantasy QB2 in Week 14.

Rashod Bateman a Risky Flex Option in Week 14
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman popped up as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report, but has since registered a full practice on Friday and is good to go against the Pittsburgh Steelers. While he'll be suiting up, his consistency hasn't been conducive to deploying him into fantasy lineups very often. He's only finished in WR3 territory or better twice, and he hasn't received more than two targets since Week 9 or more than two receptions since Week 3. The Steelers have given up the third-most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season, which gives Bateman a bit more value, but he's still projected as the WR70 on RotoBaller's rankings in Week 14.

Kyle Pitts Sr. a TE1 in Favorable Matchup Against Seahawks
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. recorded his largest yardage total of the season in last week's 27-24 loss to the Jets, hauling in seven of his eight targets for 82 yards. With top receiver Drake London (knee) missing the last couple of games and also Week 8, the 6-foot-6 tight end has been Kirk Cousins' favorite target, looking his way a total of 22 times in those three contests. With London ruled out for Week 14 as well, the 25-year-old could again be the team's top receiving weapon, especially against the Seahawks, a defense that has been generally good against the pass, but that has given up the fourth-most PPR fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. The drawback here is that Pitts has one touchdown all season and has failed to garner a red zone target in four consecutive weeks now. Be that as it may, the former first-round draft pick still projects as a mid-range TE1 based on volume alone in this favorable matchup at home.

Mark Andrews Holding TE1 Value Against Steelers
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is fresh off of signing a new extension and becoming the triple-crown record breaker in franchise history (receiving touchdowns, receiving yards, and receptions). While his season hasn't been as consistent in years past, Andrews sits at TE13 overall in half-PPR formats. Isaiah Likely was predicted to cut into his production even more this season, but that hasn't happened yet. Andrews will go up against the Pittsburgh Steelers defense in Week 14, which presents a strong matchup for some fantasy points. They give up 15.81 fantasy points per game and have allowed 73 catches for 765 yards and seven touchdowns (6.1 catches and 63.8 yards on average). That lends to him currently projected as TE9 for half-PPR formats on RotoBaller's rankings.

Kirk Cousins a Low-End Option Vs. Seahawks Without Top Receiver
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 234 yards and one touchdown in last week's 27-24 loss to the Jets, spreading the ball around to seven different receivers, each with at least two targets apiece. The veteran QB now has an unremarkable 3:1 TD:INT in three starts this season, and heads into a tough matchup in Week 14 against the Seahawks. Seattle's defense has yielded just 152.7 yards per game passing over their last three contests (sixth-fewest) and is middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs. The game will be played indoors in Atlanta, but with the Falcons missing their top receiver, Drake London (knee), and with an implied team total of just 19 points, they are not expected to find the end zone frequently. It all points to Cousins being a very low-end QB2 for Sunday's showdown.

Rams Defense Gets Opportunity to Bounce Back Against Struggling Cardinals
The Los Angeles Rams D/ST was incredibly underwhelming in last week's loss to the Carolina Panthers, surrendering 25 points with just two sacks and zero turnovers. It was an uncharacteristic performance from the Rams' defense, which had ranked as the #2 D/ST unit in fantasy scoring prior to Week 13. They'll have an appealing opportunity to bounce back in Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals, who continue to operate without key players such as Kyler Murray (foot), James Conner (foot), and Trey Benson (knee). To make matters worse, the Cardinals will be without wide receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) and Greg Dortch (chest). Jacoby Brissett and Michael Wilson have looked solid in place of Murray and Harrison, respectively. However, the absence of so many key playmakers puts Arizona at an even greater disadvantage against a very strong Rams defense. Los Angeles should capitalize on this fantastic opportunity to bounce back from last week's ugly loss. The Rams D/ST ranks #6 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.

Zay Flowers Aiming for a Bounce Back Performance Vs. Steelers
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers registered the worst game of his career in Week 13 and it was the first time he failed to reach 10 receiving yards since Week 15 in 2023 where he had one catch for seven yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Finishing as the WR106 looks even worse against a defense as bad as the Cincinnati Bengals though. Now, he'll take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14 who are ranked 30th against opposing receivers. They've allowed 37.39 fantasy points per contest and have let receivers accrue a total of 2,061 yards and 14 touchdowns. Flowers and the Ravens' offense have hit some very low lows this year, but his talent and the struggling Steelers secondary has given him WR2 value.
