Fantasy Football Checkdown: Week 14 Advice and Rankings

As punishment for suggesting Trevor Siemian would be a low-end QB1 in Week 13, is it enough that I (a die-hard Broncos fan) sat through the entire debacle against the Dolphins? As my eyes burned and my stomach turned, I grew extremely concerned for any of you who took that bit of advice last week. (I also apparently learned how to rhyme.) With my audience in mind, I knew I had to press on and suffer through all three interceptions, as well as the final safety that was the icing on the nauseating cake the Broncos cooked up on Sunday.

The fantasy football playoffs are here, though. If you missed out (hopefully not due to any of my advice), it’s never too late to engage in some Daily Fantasy Sports. For those who reached their leagues’ quarterfinals this weekend, you’ve got some incredibly tough decisions ahead. Do you dare sit Russell Wilson in Jacksonville? Is it time to forget what Kareem Hunt did for you through the first half of the season?

Find the answers in the video, below, as I detail my top sleeper plays and big-name busts for Week 14. Continue past the video for my full positional rankings. All players in the rankings are assumed to be playing, but be sure to check in with our Twitter account for changes regarding inactive players.
