WEEK 14 STANDARD RANKINGS: 
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

Is Daniel Jones playing this week?

UPDATE: Jones is officially ACTIVE and starting.

Jones (hamstring) was limited in practice this week, and according to The Athletic's Dan Duggan, Jones's "final check" on Saturday "went well," which would seem to indicate that Jones will start against the Cardinals this Sunday.

Despite the favorable matchup, Jones is too risky to trust in single-QB leagues with your season on the line, but he does have some upside in two-QB/superflex leagues. Jones is also a preferable option to Colt McCoy when it comes to enhancing the values of New York's other offensive players. 

WEEK 14 FANTASY: Sleepers Busts Start 'em, sit 'em

Is Matthew Stafford playing this week?

UPDATE 2: Stafford is officially ACTIVE. 

UPDATE: ESPN's Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Stafford is expected to play against Green Bay.

For the second straight week, Stafford (thumb) was limited in practice all week and is "questionable" for Sunday's game. Also just like last week, there doesn't appear to be any concern he'll actually be out. 

WEEK 14 PPR RANKINGS: 
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

The Packers present a tough matchup on paper for Stafford, but that's been true of most of his best performances this year, including last week against the Bears (402 yards, three TDs). He's a mid-tier starting option in single-QB leagues this week, but his presence makes Marvin Jones a decent WR3 and T.J. Hockenson a must-start tight end.
