The Fantasy playoffs have began. Or have they? Some Fantasy leagues prolong their common season to this week as a result of it’s a “bye-mageddon” with six groups off. Studs like Jonathan Taylor, David Montgomery, Terry McLaurin, Aaron Jones and a number of QBs shall be watching NFL video games from their couches. Hopefully, your league follows this schedule. Whether your playoffs are this week or subsequent, we’re right here to offer the Fantasy knowledge to steer you to victory. As we take a look at our Giddy Ups! and Whoa Downs! for Week 14, be sure that to examine the NFL damage studies earlier than submitting your lineups.
GIDDY UP!
Jared Goff, QB — The Lions (5-7) are a shocking 1.5-point favourite over the Vikings (10-2). The Lions scored over 30 factors in three of their final 4 video games, and the Vikings gave up a median of 30 factors over that very same span. Fireworks shall be aplenty in Detroit. Goff shall be lighting the fuses.
Tyler Huntley, QB — With eight QBs out between damage and byes (together with Lamar Jackson, Aaron Rodgers and Justin Fields) you would possibly wish to add Huntley. He’s a restricted passer, however he’s harmful along with his legs, operating for 72 yards towards Pittsburgh final 12 months. Huntley is usually a Top 15 QB this week.
D’Onta Foreman, RB — Pundits continually underestimate Foreman. He’s run for over 100 yards in 4 of his final six video games and faces a Seattle D that’s given up 506 yards and three TDs its final three video games. Foreman’s a mini-Derrick Henry and ought to be in your line-up.
D’Andre Swift, RB — He’s again. Swift lastly took command of the Detroit backfield after disappearing since Week 1. He was justifiably on quite a lot of Fantasy benches final sport when he tore by means of the Jaguars, good for fifth in RB scoring. Assuming the Lions keep dedicated to him, Swift could possibly be No. 1 this week.
Joshua Palmer, WR — If Mike Williams stays out, it’s smart to start out Palmer. Miami involves city with their high-scoring offense and the Chargers must reply blow for blow. Palmer averaged seven catches per sport the final three weeks.
Garrett Wilson, WR – The Bills are a lot more healthy on protection than the final time they performed the Jets. To maintain their postseason hopes alive, Wilson and QB Mike White should rise to the event. The Buffalo climate shall be a balmy 40 levels and sunny with no wind. That’s remarkable for Western New York in December. The Bills will rating, however the Jets will too.
Hunter Henry, TE — Arizona has given up 9 TDs to TEs, the worst within the NFL. Henry retains you within the playoff hunt.
WHOA DOWN!
Deshaun Watson, QB — Rusty. That’s the kindest method I can describe Watson’s efficiency final week. Inaccurate and stiff, it was obvious he hasn’t performed in a very long time. Up towards a Bengals group that held Patrick Mahomes to 233 yards and a TD, I might maintain Watson on the pine.
Dak Prescott, QB — The rule of thumb this 12 months is to not anticipate many QB factors towards the Texans as a result of it’s really easy to run on them. QBs have simply 10 TD passes towards them and the typical makes an attempt per sport hover round 24. It’s not sufficient quantity for Dak to excel this week whenever you want him most.
Gus Edwards, RB — Gus ran out of gasoline, netting 12 yards on six carries towards Denver. The Steelers will key on him and dare QB Huntley to throw or scramble.
Travis Etienne, RB — Is the bloom off the rose for this younger Jaguar? 102 yards and no TDs his final three video games, it will be a courageous transfer to start out Etienne towards a rugged Titan protection. But I’ll perceive if in case you have no different choices.
Michael Gallup, WR — Gallup lastly scored his first (and second) TD of the season since Opening Day final week. Chasing factors could be an unwise transfer towards the Texans. Of the ten TD receptions towards them solely 5 have gone to WRs. Gallup has no giddy up this Sunday.
Tyler Boyd, WR — Clang! That’s the noise the ball made when it ricocheted off Boyd’s fingers in the long run zone final week towards the Chiefs. Luckily, it didn’t value the Bengals. Boyd has 4 receptions his final two video games towards the Browns.
Dawson Knox, TE — The Jets haven’t surrendered a TD to a good finish all 12 months. That development continues this week in Buffalo.
