Exciting Matchups This Week

BYES: Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots, Washington Commanders.

Packers at Lions, Thursday, 8:20 p.m. ET Keep an eye on Romeo Doubs' status. If he plays, he’ll share the spotlight with Jayden Reed, positioning the duo as potential WR1s. In contrast, if Doubs is sidelined, it elevates Christian Watson’s value significantly, transforming him into a reliable WR2.

Jaguars at Titans, Sunday, 1 p.m. ET The Jaguars' backfield remains a risky venture against a Titans defense that excels at stopping the run. Look for Calvin Ridley to potentially bounce back, as statistics indicate he performs significantly better against man coverage, which the Titans frequently employ.

Jets at Dolphins, Sunday, 1 p.m. ET Garrett Wilson's performance has dipped recently due to matchup challenges, but awaits a chance to regain his groove. The Jets’ passing game may struggle without solid man coverage to exploit.

Falcons at Vikings, Sunday, 1 p.m. ET With Kirk Cousins struggling, expect the Falcons to take advantage of his inefficiencies. Both teams favor zone coverage, which generally benefits wide receivers like Drake London and Kyle Pitts.

Bears at 49ers, Sunday, 4 p.m. ET Since the departure of Shane Waldron, Caleb Williams has become more efficient, showing promise in avoiding sacks and improving his completion percentage. This may translate into a favorable day for offensive prospects.

Chargers at Chiefs, Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET The fantasy landscape continues to shift with Justin Herbert facing off against a suspect Chiefs defense. Keep tabs on Joshua Palmer if Ladd McConkey misses this game.

Week 14 Sleepers to Watch

Quarterback: Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears Given the 49ers' vulnerability to mobile quarterbacks and the Bears' struggles, Williams could surprise many with a strong showing this week.

Running Back: Tyrone Tracy Jr., New York Giants & Tony Pollard, Tennessee Titans With the uncertainty in backfield roles and favorable matchups respectively, both players have substantial potential to make an impact amid a week filled with byes.

Wide Receiver: Calvin Ridley, Tennessee Titans; Jakobi Meyers, Las Vegas Raiders; Jordan Addison, Minnesota Vikings All three wideouts present intriguing matchups this week, giving them elevated ceilings that could turn heads.

Tight End: Jake Ferguson, Dallas Cowboys Should he return, Ferguson looks poised for a solid outing against a defense that struggles against tight ends.
