This week, the matchups point to Jets (vs. Dolphins), Colts (@ Buccaneers), Packers (vs. Redskins), Seahawks (@ Rams), Texans (vs. Broncos), Falcons (vs. Panthers), and Titans (@ Raiders) all being viable options that are available on most waiver wires. Obviously, some are riskier than others, but matchups often go a long way with defenses and these matchups frequently yield the most points. 

WEEK 14 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | Kicker

The 49ers (@ Saints) and Patriots (vs. Chiefs) aren’t the only normally reliable starting units with tough matchups. The Bills (vs. Ravens), Rams (vs. Seahawks), and Bears (vs. Cowboys) are also in bad spots. It’s tough to completely rule out the Rams, but the Bears and Bills shouldn’t be in fantasy lineups. 

WEEK 14 PPR RANKINGS: Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end

When it comes to whether to play Patriots and 49ers, there is no definitive answer. Both are talented enough to produce, and the Patriots at least get the luxury of playing at home. But the risk seems higher than the reward with New England – and it’s close when it comes to the Niners – so unless your lineup is stacked at virtually every other position, you might want to look elsewhere and hope you stay alive long enough to unleash the Pats and 49ers on the Bengals and Falcons, respectively, in Week 15.
