Fantasy Football, Week 14: Best lineup with start/sit advice
By Dylan Broady
Welcome to the official fantasy football playoffs! I hope we can help you in Week 14 and take the next step in earning your team a win.
Starting off our Week 13 recap with a bang is none other than Patrick Mahomes. We predicted Mahomes would throw for 400 yards and four touchdowns. Boy did we hit on this one! Mahomes threw for 295 passing yards and four touchdowns, adding 52 rushing yards on nine attempts.
Our featured running back was Todd Gurley. We predicted him at 150 rushing yards, 50 receiving yards and two total touchdowns. Gurley ended up with 132 rushing yards, two touchdowns and 33 receiving yards.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel Sanders was predicted at 150 receiving yards and two touchdowns. His actual production was 19 yards. Yeah, a big whiff on that one.
Moving along, our tight end was Jared Cook. We predicted him at 85 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Cook’s actual production was 100 receiving yards and a touchdown. So a huge comeback prediction win for us. Thank you, Jared, for having an outstanding game. Let’s move forward to our Start/Sit advice and see how we fared there.
Quarterbacks, we started Cam Newton and sat Matt Ryan, which worked out perfectly for us. Our running backs took a hit because of Kareem Hunt and his atrocious behavior. We started Hunt and sat Nick Chubb. We can’t count this one for us or against us. We will call it a wash.
At receiver, we started DeAndre Hopkins and sat Calvin Ridley. Perfect prediction. Hopkins had 91 receiving yards and Ridley only had 22. As for the tight ends, we started Travis Kelce and sat Jimmy Graham. Kelce had a phenomenal game with 168 receiving yards and two touchdowns. While Graham had a decent game with 50 receiving yards.
