Week #13 is in the books and fantasy football teams are looking forward to week #14. There is a lot to discuss this week so let’s jump right in to the action.
Every team in the NFL has at least two losses except the Panthers who remain undefeated. It was amazing how quickly the Patriots fell out of grace. Hold on because the last few games of the season will create a roller coaster ride for fantasy football teams.
Bye Week
No byes for the rest of the season. You are in the clear and can relax about starting a player on a bye week.
Mismatches
Panthers vs. Falcons, Jets vs. Titans, Chiefs vs. Chargers, Broncos vs. Raiders, Packers vs. Cowboys, and Patriots, vs. Texans
At this point in the season there is a lot of data available. Start your best players based on 13 games of data.
Quarterbacks
This is the best week for ranking QB’s that I have seen this season. One glaring problem is Big Ben. After scoring 33 fantasy points last week does he really deserve to be ranked 14th in most polls. I would place Big Ben in the top five at the very least. With three great receivers expect another great week even against a decent Bengals defense.
Running Backs
RB polls are a different story than QB polls. I agree Johnson should be in the top five, but ranked #1. He is a relatively unknown commodity and is going against a decent Vikings defense. Sure you should start him, but don’t think for a second he is secure #1 RB.
Rawls should do well this week against the Ravens. The Seahawks are finally starting to put an offense together. He did well last week against a stout Vikings defense and he should do well against a Ravens defense that is not as good as it has been in recent years.
Peterson just killed fantasy team owners last week. One point. OUCH! Only 8 attempts? What? Do the Vikings realize they have the best RB on their team? Sure they are playing catch up a lot and need to throw the rock, but give Peterson the ball. Trust me they will not make the same mistake this weekend.
Tight Ends
Eifert #2 against the Steelers this week? Hell NO! The Steeler’s defense held him to 39 yards in week #8. I personally would not start Eifert this week unless you have no other choice. He is returning from an injury and going against a decent defense that has his number.
Kelce #3? Again I don’t think so. Sure he is going against a Charger’s defense that is favorable to TEs making a lot of fantasy points, but Kelce is not producing decent points. Check your bench and waiver wire, because Kelce should not be started unless you have to.
Do you start Chandler or not? That is the question. The answer is no. He will probably start and Gronk will probably miss another week due to injury. However, don’t be tempted to start him because the Texans have done well against TEs this year. Look hard for another TE starter.
Wide Receivers
Hopkins is having an amazing season and is playing the porous Patriots secondary. However, if you dig deeper and really look at his fantasy point’s production he has not been that impressive. He has scored 17 points over the last two weeks. Is he an automatic start? No he is not. Look at who else you have on your roster or whom sitting on the waiver wire.
