Fantasy football rankings for Week 14: Playoffs or bust

Show Caption

The fantasy football regular season comes to a close this week with just two teams — the Arizona Cardinals and Washington Commanders — on bye. That leaves plenty of options for fantasy managers to choose from as they look to secure a spot in the playoffs.

START OR SIT? 15 players who could make the difference in Week 14

Fantasy football rankings for Week 14 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.

Fantasy football quarterback rankings for Week 14

Trevor Lawrence is dealing with a high ankle sprain, but after successfully going through pregame warmups, he will start Sunday's game against the Browns.
The Browns have released backup QB PJ Walker, but have not yet announced a starter between Joe Flacco and Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion).
Geno Smith (groin) is a game-time decision for Sunday's late-afternoon start. Drew Lock would start if Smith can't go.
The Saints' Derek Carr has cleared the concussion protocol and will start Sunday and injuries to his ribs and shoulder. While the body ailments are less of a concern, he remains in the concussion protocol.
Sleeper pick: Justin Fields rushed for 104 yards when he faced the Lions in Week 11. If he can keep from turning the ball over, he could have a productive day against Detroit's increasingly porous defense.
