We have arrived my friends. Week 14 always arrives quicker than you could imagine. We are less than 10 days away from Winter, and a week away for most fantasy football formats to be in the playoffs, while some of you have already started your playoffs. Either way this is a pivotal week so let’s execute the moves needed to achieve our weekly and seasonal goal, win and get in the playoffs!

WEEK 14 PLAYS

D/ST — On my podcast, Iggy’s Fantasy and Betting, I was clearly affected by the passing of Denver Broncos legendary WR D. Thomas. The Broncos organization has several members of their administration and staff that knew and are connected to DT and his family. Fully expect an emotional and heartfelt performance from the Denver Broncos against the Lions.

The Seattle Seahawks are the 28th ranked defense in fantasy football, yet their defense allows yards, but give up few points. Luckily for them the Texans are not great at garnishing either. The Seahawks should feast on humble Houston and pick up their 2nd win in a row.

Kickers — Tyler Bass (BUF) could see plenty of action in sunny in warm Florida. The Bucs defense is finding it’s groove but the secondary is not at it’s best allowing big passes and QB scrambles. If the Bills move the ball downfield but have trouble in the redzone, Bass should deliver points.

Dustin Hopkins (LAC) could see plenty of action against the New York Giants. The Chargers will own the T.O.P. which will lead to more opportunities for Hopkins. It could be a double digit point total day.

Defensive Linemen — Jeffery Simmons (TEN) is going to destroy the Jaguars offensive line. The Titans are in need of a game to keep pace in an extremely tight race for the top AFC seed.

Maxx Crosby (LV) hasn’t topped 10 points in the past 7 weeks… almost two months. He is in a division rivalry that has been more or less even in the past 3 years. Expect him to be chasing Mahomes out of the pocket and possibly make a big play.

Linebackers — Roquan Smith (CHI) will have his hands full against a Packers team that should own the T.O.P. in this battle. He is arguably the defensive player of the year and should rack up over 10 tackles in the oldest rivalry in football.

Kamu Gruiger-Hill (HOU) is having a season that put his name out there for IDP heads everywhere. He has been on the waiver wire report the previous 3 weeks and should dominate the tackle count against the Seahawks who will look to control the game. Play him.

Defensive Backs — Jordan Poyer (BUF) will see loads of action against the Buccaneers. Brady throws it often, yet Lenny sees several runs. The Bills defense could be in for a long, hot, and busy afternoon in Tampa Bay.

Jalen Thompson (ARI) has been the quite stat leader of the Cardinals secondary. He has 65 tackles and will likely add more against the Rams, in what could be the highest scoring game of the week.

Week 14 PINES

D/ST — Do not drop the New England Patriots Defense, even in smaller leagues which you stream. They have the best fantasy football defense, and have an amazing playoff schedule including Billy B coming off of a bye week… talk about a playoff delight!

The Washington Football Team has been on a tear and controlling the pace of the game, but they have a red hot offense coming to town. The Dallas Cowboys seem determined to get a win. This could become more of a shootout, pine the Football Team D/ST.

Kickers — Nick Folk (NE) and the Patriots D/ST both lead the Fantasy Football world in their position. Pine the kicker and have the ultimate edge heading into the playoffs!

Graham Gano (NYG) has been great this year, but the loss of Danny Pesos has really hurt his production. The Chargers are hit or miss on defense, but the Giants seem like a team thinking about the offseason. Pine him

Defensive Linemen — Emmanuel Ogbah (MIA) and DeForest Buckner (IND) are both on bye and have match ups against run heavy teams in the playoffs. They could be sneaky playoff plays, so pine them for later. Joey Bosa (LAC) has really not been the stat machine of late, put him on the Pine or look elsewhere.

Linebackers — Denzel Perryman (LV) is the 4th ranked LB but is out this week. Pine him and save him for the playoffs. The Colts have produced two LB1s and they both need to be pined and stashed for the playoffs. They are Bobby Okereke (IND) and Darius Leonard (IND).

Defensive Back — Kenny Moore II (IND), you might notice a theme about the Colts IDPs, is the 3rd ranked DB and should be pined at all cost. He will be the stud in the secondary for them going forward, and their playoff hopes will depend on the play of their defense.

Jalen Ramsey (LAR) is having another excellent year, but the Cardinals are loaded with playmakers. Murray will take care of the football, and avoid Ramsey at all cost. Pine him.
