Prepare to be stressed this weekend and six teams on bye make it tough. More than likely, streamers will be needed.

Here are a few options for Week 14 and you can also use our Start/Sit tool to assist in decisions.

QUARTERBACK

Will Levis (Tennessee Titans)

Levis has been better recently and cut down on the interceptions with 2 in the last four games. Levis has passed for at least 275 yards in two of the last three games and has multiple touchdown passes in two games. The Jaguars are last in pass defense DVOA and are tied with Tampa Bay for the second-most fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks. 

RUNNING BACK

Sincere McCormick (Las Vegas Raiders)

It’s a difficult week to stream a running back. McCormick is still available in 90% of Yahoo leagues and could get double-digit touches again if Alexander Mattison and Zamir White remain out. With those two out last week, McCormick had 12 carries for 64 yards and caught 2 passes for 1 yard. Ameer Abdullah had 10 carries for 39 yards with 2 catches for 14 yards. 

WIDE RECEIVER

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (New Orleans Saints)

Valdes-Scantling isn’t getting a lot of volume, but Derek Carr is taking shots deep to him. The Saints have been hit hard by injuries and Valdes-Scantling has scored 4 touchdowns in the last three games. He gets a Giants defense that has been getting worse each week. MVS has at least 11 points in PPR formats in three straight games. All he needs is one big play to have a solid fantasy game. The snap percentage has increased every week and he was at 76% last week.

TIGHT END

Juwan Johnson (New Orleans Saints)

The Saints are running out of options in the passing game and Taysom Hill was getting a high usage rate—though now he’s out for the season with a torn ACL. Johnson should benefit and he had a 19% target share and a 79% route rate last week. He had 7 targets and caught 5 passes for 36 yards against the Rams last week.

Week 14 Fantasy Football Expert Roundtable

• by cooterdoodle

In this week's roundtable, we bring in Victoria of Football Guys (@ffb_victoria), the brilliant Ben Gretch (@yardspergretch), and Scott Rinear of Roto Baller (@MunderDifflinFF).

Our first question revolves around the Lions, who are fresh off a gargantuan 34-31 last-second win over the Packers on Thursday Night Football. Let’s get into it:

Q: What are some new plays that Detroit should implement moving forward?

Cooterdoodle: Call: ELF ON THE SHELF! 

Description: You try to move the ball downfield without any kids noticing. 

MunderDifflinFF: Call: MUUUUSSTTAAAAAAARRRDDDD!

Description: The defense becomes intimidated as they now know the beat that’s ’bout to drop will make them lose their minds.

Victoria: Call: JAHMYR GIBBS!

Description: Jared Goff yells out what the play is going to be before it happens.

Ben: They already did an end around to an offensive lineman (Penei Sewell) on Thanksgiving, which is a play I can’t say I’d ever seen before. I mean, linemen will sometimes catch passes or even take runs straight up the middle, but an end around? And it appeared to have a pass option? This is the team we’re giving suggestions to? 

I don’t think I can come up with something crazy enough. A lineman kicking? Jared Goff at center? Have Gibbs do the Tecmo Super Bowl thing of running all the way back to his own end zone, zig-zagging past defenders, and then going 100 yards again the other way for the score, just to up the difficulty?

Q: Do the Bills actually have what it takes to go all the way this year?

Fantasy-wise, which Bills players (Besides Josh Allen and James Cook) can I trust moving forward … if any?

Scott: Khalil Shakir (in PPR)

He’s likely not going to win you any weeks but he has remained the Bills’ WR1 by pretty much any metric well into the Amari Cooper era in Buffalo. Shakir has actually become more involved since Cooper arrived.

Cooper joined the Bills a few days before their Week 7 game against the Titans. Before that, from Weeks 1-7, Shakir averaged 4.2 targets per game, never exceeded six targets in a game, and reached a 20% target share only once.

Since Cooper’s arrival, Shakir has earned at least seven targets in every game, and hit at least a 25% target share in four games, including a 30%+ in each of the last two. And he has favorable WR matchups versus the Rams, Lions, and Patriots in Weeks 14-16. In a crucial Week 14 with 500 teams on bye, Shakir is a solid WR2/3 start.
