The fantasy football playoffs are here, and plenty of fantasy owners are facing critical start 'em, sit 'em decisions in Round 1 matchups. Our Week 14 fantasy FLEX rankings are as tight as ever -- in a good way. There are plenty of solid options this week, with sleepers emerging because of injuries and favorable matchups. It won't be easy to sort through exactly who to start, especially with guys like A.J. Green, Emmanuel Sanders, Matt Breida, and James Conner out, but we're here to help.
Per usual, you can't sit any of your studs, and the borderline matchup-proof plays will occupy the top of this list. There will be a handful of second-tier guys with excellent matchups sprinkled in, but generally speaking, you will see a lot of the same names near the top of the list each week. The real intrigue comes in the 50-75 range, as most fantasy teams will be considering a starting a couple of players in that group.
Week 14 Rankings:
Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End | D/ST | Kicker
This week, there are a handful of players who should draw more consideration than normal at the FLEX position. Notably, Courtland Sutton has moved into starter territory following the season-ending injury to his teammate Sanders. Sutton should do well in a great matchup against the 49ers. Other intriguing plays include D.J. Moore (@ Browns), Chris Godwin (vs. Saints), and Jeff Wilson Jr. (vs. Broncos).
Reminder: For more analysis for individual players, check out our standard running back, wide receiver, and tight end rankings.
