Okay, here is my sharing about “start em sit em week 14”.
Week 14, huh? This is it, the fantasy football playoffs for most of us! Time to put up or shut up. I spent a good chunk of my Sunday glued to the screen, watching games and checking scores like a hawk. You know how it is, every point counts now.
So, starting with my quarterbacks, I rolled with Dak Prescott. Dallas was up against Philly, a big rivalry game, and Dak usually shows up in those. And boy, did he! He threw for over 300 yards and 3 touchdowns, a solid performance that really helped me out.
For running backs, I had Bijan Robinson and Joe Mixon in my lineup. Bijan’s been a beast all season, and even though Atlanta’s offense can be a bit shaky, I trusted him to get his touches. He didn’t go off, but he got me a decent 10 points, which I’ll take. Mixon, on the other hand, was a bit of a letdown. The Bengals struggled, and he only ended up with 5 points. That hurt, not gonna lie.
Wide Receivers and Tight Ends
At wide receiver, I started CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper. Lamb is a target monster, and he came through again, racking up over 100 yards and a touchdown. That’s what I’m talking about! Cooper was a bit more of a gamble since the Browns’ QB situation is a mess, but he managed to snag a touchdown, which salvaged his day.
My tight end was Evan Engram. He’s been pretty consistent lately, a real safety valve for Trevor Lawrence. He didn’t find the end zone, but he hauled in a bunch of passes, giving me a respectable 8 points in a PPR format.
The Bench
- I benched Justin Herbert this week. That was tough because he’s usually so reliable. But the Chargers were facing a tough defense, and I just had a gut feeling it wasn’t his week. Turns out I was right, he only scored about 12 points.
- On my bench, I also had De’Von Achane. He’s super explosive, but he’s been dealing with an injury. I didn’t want to risk it in the playoffs.
Overall, it was a nail-biter, but I managed to pull out a win by just a few points! My opponent had a couple of guys go off, and I was sweating bullets until the Monday night game ended. Man, that was close. Whew, onto the next round!
It is important to study hard and try your best!
Playoffs are a whole different animal. You gotta stay on top of every injury, every matchup, every little detail. One wrong move, and your season could be over. I’ll be spending the next few days scouring the waiver wire, reading every article I can find, and agonizing over my lineup decisions. Wish me luck, folks! I need some good game!
