Fantasy Football Week 14 Expert Picks: De'Von Achane, Josh Allen, and More

Week 14 is the last week of the regular season for many fantasy leagues. You might already know your postseason fate, but some owners are still fighting through the last day, and they will be sweating into the Monday night game, when Saquon Barkley, Ladd McConkey, and more fantasy stars will be in action.

Every decision matters at this point. If you're in a league that started the playoffs earlier, you are already staring at the reality that your season could end this week. Even worse than getting beat by 40 points is losing because you played the wrong guy; there's a lot of pressure with each decision.

Luckily, the experts here at FantasySP are here to help. Morgan Rode and Daniel Hepner answered five fantasy football questions heading into the weekend of Week 14.

Which quarterback are you avoiding in Week 14?

Morgan: I'll say that you should be skipping Jayen Daniels in his return to the field. I get he has great dual-threat upside, but in a tougher test against the Vikings, I think Daniels will underperform in Week 14.

Daniel: Caleb Williams ranks as a top-10 fantasy QB, but he has a brutal matchup this week against the Packers. Green Bay is giving up the second-fewest yards per pass attempt and the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. Williams faces the Packers twice and the Browns in the middle of those contests over the next three weeks, so we will get a real idea of what Williams can do against a great defense; I'm benching him until I see him succeed.

Is there a flex-level running back who is likely to have a quiet game?

Morgan: I'd say Kyle Monangai struggles to get going in Week 14. He has a tougher test against the Packers and was on the injury report this week. I know you want to start him based on what he's done lately, but I think he's going to struggle this week.

Daniel: I'll give you two guys: Tony Pollard and Tyler Allgeier. Pollard is averaging 48.5 rushing yards and 14.3 receiving yards per game with just two touchdowns, low-level fantasy production, and he has a tough matchup against the Browns this week. Allgeier's outlook is just as tough against the Seahawks, leaving him off the fantasy radar as the team's RB2 against a great run defense.

Give us a wide receiver who will surprise fantasy owners and should be in lineups.

Morgan: I think Jordan Addison, and the Vikings' offense, is going to surprise this week. They are all due for a breakout game, and I think it comes in a favorable test against the Commanders. Get Addison in those lineups this week.

Daniel: Christian Watson has found success since returning to the lineup, topping 40 receiving yards in all six games, twice reaching 80 yards, and scoring three touchdowns. He gets a fantastic matchup against the Bears here, a team that has given up the sixth-most yards per pass attempt and the fourth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Romeo Doubs is also an intriguing player here.

How about a tight end with a great matchup who could find the end zone?

Morgan: If he ends up playing, Dalton Kincaid is the answer to this question. His matchup against the Bengals is as good as it gets, and I see him starring if he ends up suiting up in Week 14.

Daniel: If Kincaid doesn't play, then Dawson Knox is a great fantasy streamer because of that phenomenal matchup against Cincinnati. If you're looking outside of Buffalo, then Minnesota's T.J. Hockenson has the same great matchup against Washington that Morgan talked about in the wide receiver section, and Hockenson is set up for a nice game. If you're in need of a deeper streamer, Mason Taylor of the Jets has a good matchup against the Dolphins, who have allowed the seventh-most yards per pass attempt and the third-most fantasy points to tight ends.

Who will be the fantasy MVP of Week 14?

Morgan: I think De'Von Achane shines in a favorable matchup against the Jets this weekend. I have him as the top fantasy back for Week 14, and I think he ends up leading all fantasy players.

Daniel: Josh Allen against the Bengals is essentially the best quarterback in fantasy football playing against one of the three worst defenses in the league. This one has a chance to be high scoring now that Joe Burrow is back, but even if Cincinnati falters on offense, Allen should put up big stats against the Bengals.
