Who should I start for Week 14? Fantasy football outlooks for Matthew Stafford, Justin Herbert, Derek Carr. Our expert fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks.
Deciding which quarterback to start in Week 14 can be difficult, especially with some players dealing with tough matchups.
Matthew Stafford, Justin Herbert, and Derek Carr have unique challenges and opportunities this week.
Let's determine whether they belong in your starting lineup.
Should I Start Matthew Stafford for Fantasy Football?
Coming off three solid weeks with eight touchdowns and no interceptions, Matthew Stafford has been efficient lately. In Week 13, he completed 14-of-24 passes for 183 yards and two scores against the New Orleans Saints. However, his Week 14 matchup against the Buffalo Bills poses a challenge, as they allow the fourth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks.

Despite the tough opponent, the Bills have surrendered 1,010 passing yards and six touchdowns to quarterbacks over the last four weeks.
Stafford is worth starting in two-QB or superflex leagues but remains risky in one-QB formats due to inconsistent fantasy production -- he has topped 20 points only twice this season. There is potential with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp as weapons, but the matchup limits his ceiling.
Should I Start Justin Herbert for Fantasy Football?
Last week was a disappointment for Justin Herbert, who managed just 147 passing yards without a touchdown in a 17-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Nine of his 16 completions went to rookie Ladd McConkey, but sacks and a lack of scoring opportunities hindered his fantasy output.

This week offers a better chance to put up fantasy points versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Over the last four weeks, the Chiefs have given up the fifth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks and multiple passing touchdowns in four of their last six games. While Week 13 was difficult, Herbert is positioned for an important bounce-back game and should be started in most formats.
Should I Start Derek Carr for Fantasy Football?
In a Week 13 loss to the Rams, Carr threw for 184 yards and one touchdown without turning the ball over. This marks four consecutive games with at least one touchdown and no interceptions. Injuries to his wide receivers and the recent absence of Taysom Hill limit his upside.

Facing the New York Giants, who allow the seventh-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks over the last four weeks, makes Carr a sit in most leagues. He can still be started in deeper formats, but expectations should remain modest. An average of 15.88 points per game this season is likely the ceiling in this matchup.
