Baker Mayfield Struggles in Week 14 Win
Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield struggled in a 27-19 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. Mayfield went 11-for-24 passing for 192 yards and two interceptions in the win, although he did add 13 yards and a touchdown rushing the ball. It goes down as yet another disappointing performance for Mayfield, who was going […]
Matt Ryan Throws for 313 Yards And Two Scores In Week 14
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had a solid outing in Week 14 against the Panthers. He completed 20-of-34 passes for 313 yards and two touchdowns in the game. He didn't give commit a turnover in the game and was only sacked once. Ryan had all of his primary pass-catchers active for the game as Julio […]
Titans Discussing Ryan Tannehill Contract Extension
The Tennessee Titans are reportedly discussing a contract extension for quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Since taking over for Marcus Mariota as the team's starting passer in Week 7, Tannehill has been putting up solid numbers, with 12 touchdown passes and three interceptions while completing 71.9 percent of his passes. He's also rushed for three scores. Tannehill […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 14) - Targets and Avoids
If there were a dozen people left in a survivor pool this past week, odds are those pools are down to just several. The upsets began Thursday when the Bills beat the Cowboys, and continued Sunday when the Dolphins and Redskins won as 10-point underdogs. If you're somehow still alive in your pool with just […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 14
Week 13 just served to remind us all that anything can happen in the National Football League and that you can't ever look past the New York Jets when you're trying to lose. The Cincinnati Bengals learned that lesson on Sunday, beating the Jets handily in a game that wasn't even as close as the […]
Russell Wilson Looks To Top Rams Again
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson put up a huge game against the Rams last time out, and he'll need another top-tier performance if Seattle's going to hang on to first place in the NFC West. Unfortunately, the LA defense has had a renaissance since the last time Wilson saw them. They have allowed 20 or […]
Lamar Jackson Still A Must-Start Against Buffalo
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson threw for 105 yards, ran for 101 yards and scored a touchdown through the air and on the ground in Week 13's win over the 49ers. The Ravens have another tough defensive matchup in Week 14 in Buffalo. The Bills Defense has conceded only nine passing touchdowns this season and […]
Philip Rivers Looks To Continue Upward Trend
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers had his best game in a month last week when he completed 69% of his passes, but the Chargers still found a way to lose at the last second. This week, he'll face a porous Jacksonville defense that has been sliding recently. Though mediocre for the season, the Jaguars […]
Daniel Jones Officially Ruled Out For Monday
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will miss Monday night's game with an ankle injury. As has been expected all week, Eli Manning will get the start and becomes a low-end QB2 option in season-long leagues. This improves Saquon Barkley's value a little since Manning dumps off to running backs more than he runs, but […]
Kirk Cousins Is A QB1 Option In Week 14
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is in line for a big game in Week 14 against the Detroit Lions. Cousins has become a model of consistency, tossing multiple touchdowns in seven of his last eight games played and completing 69.3% of his passes to this point in the season (at 8.5 yards per attempt). The […]
Gardner Minshew Faces Tough Matchup In Week 14
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew is the starter again, but his first start since reclaiming that role comes in a bad situation. The Jags play the Chargers, who've allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing passers this season. The safest bet for you in a season-long fantasy league is to do what you can to […]
Deshaun Watson Still A QB1 Despite Bad Matchup
Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is currently the fantasy QB4, and while his opponent this Sunday -- the Denver Broncos -- are allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing passers this season, you've still got to trust Watson and deploy him as your starting fantasy quarterback. He's coming off a strong performance against New England's […]
QB vs Pass Rush Matchups To Watch - Week 14
Week 14 is here, and the fantasy playoffs are rolling. Some people are on byes for the week which can help if you've got key players in bad matchups, but others are scrapping to keep their season alive. Real teams start at quarterback, and they're pretty important for fantasy as well. Quarterbacks have changed the […]
Inside the Tent - Week 14 NFL Injury Insight
At RotoBaller, we can't stress enough the importance of keeping up with injuries and playing your best lineup week after week. Players are going to get injured, that's an unavoidable fact. What's avoidable though is making the wrong roster decisions based on the injuries surrounding your fantasy squad. If you want to dominate your leagues […]
Andy Dalton Could Surprise Against The Browns
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton made his return to the lineup against the Jets after a three-game absence and played relatively well, throwing for 243 yards and a touchdown on 23-for-37 passing. While the Browns Defense isn't horrible, Dalton has played historically well against them throughout his career, making his outlook more promising than usual, […]
Kyle Allen Not A Viable Week 14 Option
Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen has a difficult matchup on Sunday against the Falcons Defense. Atlanta has played well against opposing quarterbacks, especially as of late, and held Drees Brees to just one touchdown toss during the Thanksgiving matchup with New Orleans, while also forcing Allen to throw four picks just a few weeks ago. […]
Jimmy Garoppolo Leads Niners Into The Bayou
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is a middling QB2 in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. With a 101.2 quarterback rating, Garoppolo’s season-long body of work looks great but he’s surpassed 300 yards just twice and committed 14 total turnovers. Facing a challenging Saints Defense on the road, Garoppolo will likely be tasked […]
Jared Goff A Low-End Option
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff ended a three-game touchdown drought with 424 yards and two scores last week against the Arizona Cardinals. He'll have a tougher matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, but it's within reason to start him. He had 395 passing yards, one score and one pick against them earlier in the season. […]
Aaron Rodgers A Solid QB1 Against Redskins
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will get a favorable matchup against the Washington Redskins in Week 14. Rodgers is coming off a 243-yard, four-touchdown performance against the New York Giants. Like their NFC East counterpart, the Redskins struggle to defend opposing quarterbacks, as they rank 20th in fantasy points allowed to the position. Look […]
Kyler Murray Defies Tough Matchup
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has thrown for a combined 313 yards in the last four games, but he's still ranked sixth at the position in fantasy points over the stretch. He has thrown seven touchdowns and two interceptions, but he rushed for two more scores. The matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers isn't a good […]
Patrick Mahomes Has Tough Matchup for Week 14
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been underwhelming over the last two games. He's thrown for two touchdowns and one interception over his last two contests. Mahomes had less than 200 passing yards in both of those games and it doesn't get any easier here. He'll have a matchup with the strong Patriots secondary […]
Devlin Hodges Gets Prime Matchup Against Cardinals
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges staved off the Cleveland Browns a week ago, winning 20-13 after passing for 212 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. "Duck" is flying into the hearts of Steeler fans, but unfortunately he doesn't deliver much fantasy appeal, even in a matchup against the league-worst Arizona Cardinals Defense. The Cardinals allow […]
