Fantasy Stars & Studs, Week 14: Lamar Jackson delivers his best

Fantasy matchups everywhere will have been settled by Lamar Jackson.

Week 14 of the NFL season was finished off in the most remarkable of fashions, with the instant classic between the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns sure to have settled plenty of matchups in the first week of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues.

An inspirational quarterback performance from the reigning league MVP that will be remembered for years to come will have had a significant fantasy impact to go along with its influence on the crowded fight for playoff positioning in the AFC.

Indeed, the result of many matchups is likely to have changed over the course of an engrossing encounter at FirstEnergy Stadium that may well go down as the game of the year.

Yet it is important not to forget that there were plenty of other less memorable fantasy-relevant displays in Week 14.

A pair of young running backs outperformed their expectations and produced in a manner to suggest that, despite predominantly underwhelming seasons, they can each be relied upon for at least the next week of the fantasy playoffs.

Meanwhile, two rookie receivers who will both likely be watching the NFL playoffs from home stepped up and went over the 20-point threshold, though it is clear which of the two wideouts will be more relevant to fantasy players in the closing two weeks of the season.

Here we look at some of the top fantasy performances from Week 14 and assess what they mean as the campaign nears its conclusion.
