The List: Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 14

Series Navigation

For the first time since Week 2, Joe Burrow was under center for the Cincinnati Bengals. He was far from flawless, but showed moments of that Joe Shiesty brilliance, throwing for 261 yards, two touchdowns, and no turnovers. Joe Brr did it without Tee Higgins, who suffered a concussion in Week 13, but the hope is he can return for this week’s clash with Buffalo. It was fantastic to see the beautiful bond on the deep ball between Burrow and his BFF, Ja’Marr Chase. The rest of the season is pretty much a must-win scenario for the Bengals, and I have Burrow classified as a QB1 regardless of the difficult matchup against the Bills. –Jay Felicio

For those who gambled with Daniel Jones and his fractured fibula against the worst fantasy matchup for quarterbacks, Week 13 was one of those “ok cool, I’ll take that” kind of performances, especially after the Colts punted the first three drives. Jones had a season low 14 completions and barely snuck over 200 passing yards, but did throw two touchdowns. He completed just 52% of his passes and ran for a single rushing yard, but was turnover-free for a second straight game as well. Considering the fractured fibula likely limits his rushing upside the rest of the season, Jones is more of a floor play than upside, but a rock-solid QB1 for the final four weeks of the fantasy season. He had a sprinkle of upside against a Jaguars defense allowing the fourth most points to the position. It was a mere few weeks ago that this defense gave up seven touchdowns to Geno Smith and Davis Mills in a two-week span. –Jay Felicio

The boo birds were out in bunches on Black Friday in Philly, as the Bears came to town and showed just how broken the Eagles’ offense truly is. Jalen Hurts struggled once again, throwing two touchdowns but also two turnovers to match. He did nearly all his damage in the second half after throwing for 57 yards in the first two quarters, finishing under 250 passing yards for the third time in four games. It was Hurts’ third game in his last four with a sub-60 completion percentage, something he did just twice last season. The Eagles face the Chargers on Monday Night in Week 14, and Hurts could struggle once again. The Chargers allow the fewest points to the quarterback position, holding opposing quarterbacks to under 200 passing yards in five straight games, and are tied for the league-low 10 passing touchdowns allowed this season. He’s still a must-start, but his ceiling could be capped against the Chargers in the final week of fantasy’s regular season. –Jay Felicio

The last week of the fantasy regular season is here, and of course, it wouldn’t be fantasy football without some chaos. A few key TEs are on bye — George Kittle, Theo Johnson, and Hunter Henry — leaving lineups thinner than ever. At this point in the season, it’s simple: you start who you’ve got and pray the fantasy gods deliver at least 10+ points. Tight end has been a roller coaster all year, and now it’s all about survival mode. Set your lineup, trust the volume, and hope for a red-zone look or two.

There is one deep-dive tight end who might help you squeeze out that 8–12 point range: Gunner Helm of the Titans. Yes — starting any Titans player feels like punishment, but Helm has quietly carved out a stable fantasy role. Over his last six games, Helm has hit at least 8 PPR points every week, giving him one of the more reliable floors among streaming tight ends. He’s also seen 7+ targets in back-to-back games, which is rare volume at this point of the year. The matchup isn’t scary either. The Browns rank bottom 15 against tight ends, allowing roughly 8 fantasy points per game to the position. If you’re scrambling on waivers and the options are ugly, Helm is one of the few who can realistically give you a stable floor without needing a touchdown. –Steve Pintado

Not everyone will have to reach for a floor play like Helm, but many managers will be tempted to chase Isaiah Likely after finally flashing for the first time all season. It would be a mistake to expect a repeat performance. The Steelers’ numbers against tight ends look rough over the last five weeks, but the context matters — they’ve actually tightened up. They’ve held down players like Tyler Warren, Oronde Gadsden, and several TEs from higher-volume passing offenses. This matchup also projects as a low-scoring, grind-it-out game, which caps Likely’s already volatile role. Baltimore’s passing offense has struggled over the past month, and Likely’s usage remains inconsistent. Chasing last week’s production is risky, especially with such a shaky offensive environment. If you’re searching for upside, there are better bets. If you want safety, Likely doesn’t provide it this week. –Steve Pintado

One tight end shooting up the rankings this week is Brenton Strange, who legitimately profiles as a top-5 TE play for Week 14. Since returning two weeks ago, Strange has posted 10+ fantasy points in both games, giving him one of the strongest recent production trends at the position. The matchup only boosts his outlook. The Colts have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends, and Strange is seeing bankable opportunity — nine targets over his last two weeks. With Parker Washington potentially missing this game, even more volume could funnel toward the young tight end. In a crucial divisional game where both teams are fighting for the AFC South, expect Trevor Lawrence to lean heavily on Strange in this plus matchup. Everything lines up: recent usage, defensive matchup, and projected game script. Strange is a strong, high-end TE option this week. –Steve Pintado
