Start: Will Levis - QB, Tennesse Titans vs. Cincinnati Bengals
With no byes this week, forcing Will Levis into your starting lineup is unnecessary. However, if you are in a Superflex or 2QB league, Levis offers upside this week that few quarterbacks can offer.
We can joke about Levis all we want. However, before last week’s seven-point outing, Levis had four consecutive fantasy finishes with more than 16 fantasy points and averaged a respectful 17.3 fantasy points between Week 10 and Week 13. On average, quarterbacks, when facing the Bengals, had averaged 21.30 fantasy points per game, the most in the NFL.
Start: Tua Tagovailoa - QB, Miami Dolphins at Houston Texans
Tua Tagovailoa is on a heater as of late, finishing with 23.5 fantasy points in each of his last four starts. Since Week 11, only Josh Allen ( who just had a 50-plus-point performance) is averaging more fantasy points per game than Tagovailoas 25.2.
This season, the Houston Texans have surrendered a league-high (tied with Atlanta) 26 touchdown passes and are allowing opposing quarterbacks to finish, on average, with 16.52 fantasy points per outing. With the roll Tagovailoa is currently on and the touchdown passes the Texans have allowed, this is projected to be a successful fantasy outing once again for the Dolphins signal-caller.
Sit: C.J. Stroud - QB, Houston Texans vs. Miami Dolphins
It is hard to trust C.J. Stroud in fantasy. In his last seven contests, Stroud has produced more than 15 fantasy points just once. During the season, Stroud is averaging just 14.6 fantasy points per game, which has him ranked as the QB25, just ahead of Daniel Jones.
Stroud has been sacked 19 times in the last five contests and sacked on 41 separate occasions throughout the season. It doesn’t get any easier this week as the Texans face a Dolphins team that has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to the position this season.
Sit: Anthony Richardson - QB, Indianapolis Colts at Denver Broncos
Another quarterback coming off a bye that I am fading this week. Like Stroud, Anthony Richardson is facing a difficult matchup in Denver. The Broncos are allowing just 14.58 fantasy points per game to the position, the seventh-fewest. With Patrick Surtain II leading the defense, Denver has accumulated 12 interceptions this season, allowing just 17 touchdown passes
Sit: Russell Wilson - QB, Pittsburgh Steelers at Philadelphia Eagles
They don’t ask you how; they ask how many. Right now, the Steelers are stacking wins on top of wins, and Russell Wilson has won six of his seven starts this season. That said, Steeler’s wins don’t add up in the win columns for fantasy managers.
Without George Pickens in Week 14, Wilson completed just 15 of 26 passing attempts for 158 yards against the Browns. Luckily, he did complete two of those 15 passes for a pair of scores. Likely to be without Pickens again this week, Wilson will face an Eagles defensive unit that has allowed the sixth-fewest (14.48) fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, a unit that has allowed just 14 passing touchdowns in as many contests.
