Wide Receiver Matchups To Target In Week 14
In Week 13, Davante Adams and Tyreek Hill were the high-end options that had great matchups. Adams had a huge two-touchdown game while Hill only came up with 55 scoreless yards, falling victim to game flow as the Chiefs led from start to finish, scoring a defensive touchdown in the process. Several of the wide receivers […]
Break The Slate: DraftKings NFL DFS Lineup Picks - Week 14
Hi RotoBallers and thanks for joining me for Week 14! While we have a full slate of games on tap this week, there isn't a lot of "slam dunk plays" that jump out at us at first glance. This is a week where we have to trust our process and research to uncover some hidden […]
NFL DFS Cash Game Value Plays for FanDuel, DraftKings (Week 14)
After weeks of seeing main slates sit around the 10- and 11-game marks we get a week of respite in Week 14. This week sees a relatively massive 13-game slate as our featured slate, and it is providing plenty of options for us to utilize. If you are out of your fantasy football playoffs then […]
Fantasy Football Playoff RB Handcuffs: Add Them Now!
The fantasy football postseason has begun, so it’s time to re-evaluate your depth, especially at running back. With only three weeks left on most fantasy scoreboards and each matchup possibly being your last, there is no more time for stashing players for potential contributions later. You also cannot waste roster space on guys who will […]
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 […]
NFL DFS GPP Stacks for FanDuel, DraftKings (Week 14)
Hey there RotoBallers! For those fortunate enough to be in the playoffs in season-long formats, good luck this week! For those who missed the playoffs, DFS contests can be an excellent way to stay involved as the NFL regular season winds down. The Week 14 main slate projects to be a low-scoring one. The Patriots/Chiefs […]
NFL DFS Prop Picks for Week 14 (12/8/19) - Monkey Knife Fight
It’s late in the National Football League season and there are some marquee matchups to headline Sunday’s Week 14 action. In the AFC the 8-4 Kansas City Chiefs haven’t quite played up to expectations but still lead the AFC West and star quarterback Patrick Mahomes missed some time with injury. He’s healthy now so Kansas […]
Chris Conley Remains Solid, Low-Upside Option
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley has been incredibly consistent over the past three games, so if you need a fantasy wide receiver who'll catch four passes for 50 yards, Conley's the guy for you. He doesn't have tremendous upside and has just two touchdown receptions on the year, but his current role with the […]
D.J. Chark Should Trend Up After Quarterback Change
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark has seen his role in the Jaguars offense fade some lately, but with rookie Gardner Minshew back at quarterback, Chark's in a good spot to get back to the level he was at early in the season. Chark averages more yards per reception with Minshew at quarterback and caught […]
Dede Westbrook Is Boring Option In Week 14
Don't let his touchdown reception last week fool you; Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook has had limited upside all season and while he's unlikely to bottom out like he did in Gardner Minshew's first game as quarterback for the Jags, he's not a great option in Minshew's return to the starting role. Westbrook's targets […]
Leonard Fournette Is Strong Option Against Chargers
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette should be in line for a solid performance in Sunday's meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers allow the ninth-most PPR points to opposing running backs, and while in years past that PPR part of the equation wouldn't mean much to Fournette, he's been targeted 23 times in […]
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 […]
Red Zone Usage Risers and Fallers - Week 14
We are at a crucial point in the season. Either your league is in playoff season, or it's just about to begin. Now is the week to get your team in shape before that final push! On a personal note, some of the fallers may have caused me some fantasy pain this season, see if […]
Fantasy Football IDP Rankings for Week 14 (Top 100)
The fantasy playoffs are here for most of us, so every position matters that much more.

Look to our streamer suggestions […]

It's finally here... The fantasy playoffs for most leagues. Hopefully you have a chance to win a fantasy championship in the next few weeks.

Myles Jack Going On Injured Reserve
Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack (knee) is going on season-ending Injured Reserve on Thursday, according to a source. It's a big blow to Jacksonville's already weak run defense, especially with Chargers running backs Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler coming to town in Week 14. The 24-year-old Jack totaled 66 tackles, half a sack and one […]

Dede Westbrook Out For Personal Reasons Wednesday
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (personal) missed practice on Wednesday. We're assuming that Westbrook will be able to play in Week 14 against the Chargers, but check back later this week to see if he returns to the team. If he doesn't, D.J. Chark and Chris Conley should both see more looks from Gardner […]
D.J. Chark, Chris Conley Limited Wednesday
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers D.J. Chark (back) and Chris Conley (ankle) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should be able to suit up for Week 14 against the Chargers. Chark has underwhelmed in back-to-back games with seven catches for 85 scoreless yards, but the good news is he'll have rookie Gardner Minshew […]

Week 13 Surprises? We Must Overreact Immediately!
In Week 13, several of the highest-scoring quarterbacks were guys who have been disappointing as of late. Carson Wentz has been struggling because his wide receivers have been injured, but he finally got Alshon Jeffery back and made the best of a good matchup against the Dolphins Defense to finish as the No. 4 quarterback […]

Gardner Minshew Named Starter For Week 14
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew will start in Week 14 against the Chargers over Nick Foles, according to head coach Doug Marrone. Foles was benched in the Week 13 loss to the Bucs after throwing an interception and fumbling twice. Minshew is back in the fold after becoming an NFL phenomenon when Foles went […]
D.J. Chark Mostly Held In Check
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark didn't catch a pass in the first half of Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he did manage to grab two passes for 47 yards in the second half once the Jags replaced Nick Foles with Gardner Minshew. Chark's best success this year has come with Minshew […]
