Welcome back to “Sunday Best” with Jay Felicio! 🏈 The fantasy regular season has officially come to a close, and for some, it ended in heartbreak. This Week 14 episode, “The Playoff Primer,” is all about Survival. We’re breaking down the “brutal final week” of injuries that decimated QB depth charts, alongside the clutch performances from stars who dragged their teams into the postseason.
What’s Inside Episode 14? 🎧
-
The Justin Jefferson Crisis: It’s officially time to panic. We discuss why J.J. McCarthy has made the best receiver in football a risky WR3, and why “Jet” had fewer fantasy points than Jalen Nailor.
-
Burrow & Higgins Connection: Joe Burrow threw 4 TDs despite two costly picks, solidifying his QB1 status. Plus, Tee Higgins made two “ridiculous” catches to prove he’s a borderline WR1 for the playoffs.
-
The Daniel Jones Heartbreaker: A devastating non-contact torn Achilles ends Daniel Jones’ comeback season. We discuss the impact on the Colts and why Riley Leonard is not the answer for fantasy.

Waiver Wire Heroes:
-
R.J. Harvey: The unexpected RB2 you need. He just ran for a career-high 75 yards and caught 6 passes.
-
Tony Pollard: He came out of nowhere with 161 yards and 2 TDs against a tough Browns defense. Is it a fluke or a league-winning run?
-
Jerry Rice… I mean Michael Wilson: With Marvin Harrison Jr. out, Wilson erupted for 142 yards and 2 TDs. He is a “must-start” if Marv misses more time.

Quarterback Carnage: It wasn’t just Jones. Jayden Daniels (elbow) and Tyrod Taylor (groin) both left with serious injuries, leaving teams scrambling for backups like Brady Cook.
