With Week 14 soon to be underway, it's time for fantasy managers to make tough last-minute start 'em, sit 'em decisions. Chase McLaughlin, Tyler Bass, and Jason Sanders are all hot names ahead of this weekend's games.
All three players have top-12 rankings in our Week 14 Kicker Rankings.
Let's talk through whether you should start McLaughlin, Bass, or Sanders in Week 14.
Should I Start Chase McLaughlin for Fantasy Football?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin has been a steady contributor for fantasy managers this season, currently ranked as the K6 in overall scoring.
Last week against the Carolina Panthers, he delivered a strong performance, attempting five field goals and connecting on four of them. His only miss was a 55-yarder in overtime, which he redeemed by hitting a 30-yard game-winner to seal the Buccaneers' victory over the Panthers.
This week, Tampa Bay faces the Las Vegas Raiders, a team that allows the most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers. Combined with the Buccaneers' top-10 rankings in both yards per game (YPG) and points per game (PPG), the return of Mike Evans, and Bucky Irving's dynamic play, McLaughlin is a reliable option. Start him with confidence in Week 14.
He is the K3 in our Week 14 Kicker Rankings.

Should I Start Tyler Bass for Fantasy Football?
Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass has had an up-and-down season in 2024. However, he has been more consistent recently, making 10 of his last 11 field-goal attempts over the past six weeks. Although he missed his only attempt last week, the snowy conditions at Orchard Park were far from ideal.
This week, Bass will play indoors against the Los Angeles Rams, making him a strong option for Week 14. With the Bills offense providing plenty of scoring opportunities, Bass is a reliable kicking choice for Week 14.
Bass currently ranks as K11 on the year and is the K5 in our Week 14 Kicker Rankings.

Should I Start Jason Sanders for Fantasy Football?
Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders was not given many opportunities last week against the Green Bay Packers due to the Dolphins falling behind early. Before Week 13, Sanders had made two or more field goals in five consecutive games and seven of the last eight contests. More notably, the Dolphins offense has looked much better since the return of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
This week, the Dolphins are 5.5-point favorites at home and should be able to move the ball against the New York Jets defense, which is allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to kickers this season. Fantasy managers can start Sanders with confidence in Week 14.
He is the K11 in our Week 14 Kicker Rankings.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
