Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 14

Remember when Thursday was ‘Must See TV’? That no longer applies. After being blessed with a terrific game last week that featured no punts, football fans will be hard-pressed to be excited about the Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 14.

After watching a game with no punts, Week 14 features two of the five lowest-scoring teams in football. New England is coming off a 6-0 shutout. The Patriots have scored one touchdown total in their last three games. Additionally, being shutout by the Chargers’ 28th-ranked defense does not bode well for a trip to Pittsburgh to face a Steelers defense that has surrendered the sixth-fewest points.

Meanwhile, only four other teams have mustered fewer points on offense than Pittsburgh. Additionally, the Steelers are now trotting out their No. 2 quarterback on short rest.

The Steelers opened as slight favorites and a futile total of 35 points plummeted down to a meager 30.

Hardly a must-see event- this AFC duel is strictly for diehards and fantasy fanatics.

Matchup 

TEAM OFFENSE PASS RUSH YDS/PLAY POINTS
New England Patriots 28 23 21 28 32
Pittsburgh Steelers 26 28 14 25 28

 

These two teams put the offense in ‘offensive’.

New England has struggled in all facets of assembling a credible offense. They have scored the fewest points in football. Also, New England has a pathetic 10-to-14 TD-to-INT ratio. Finally, they rank 31st in average starting position, percentage of drives resulting in points, and dead-last in field goal percentage.

Things have been marginally better in Pittsburgh, especially since dismissing Matt Canada. The Steelers are a respectable 14th with 1,384 rushing yards and lead the NFL with only 10 turnovers. Mike Tomlin has done another fantastic job guiding a very marginal offensive unit to a 7-5 record.

Finally, acclimate yourself with Pressley Harvin III and Bryce Baringer, the team’s punters.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 14

This is it. Week 14. (Insert Europe’s The Final Countdown here). Week 14 is the final regular season game of the 2023 slate. One final week to secure a postseason spot, or to fortify your playoff-bound roster. Congratulations! FullTime Fantasy‘s Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 14 will help you pick the right players to target for that final push.

Week 14 Byes: Arizona, Washington

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Ezekiel Elliott (RB) New England Patriots (25% FAAB) – Rhamondre Stevenson exited Week 13 with an ankle injury. His departure resulted in a season-high 21 touches for Elliott. New England travels to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers on Thursday Night Football. That gives Stevenson little time to recover. Therefore, Elliott will be in a position to see heavy usage in an offense that can’t pass the ball. Elliott is on the RB2 radar in a must-win Week 14.

Tyjae Spears (RB) Tennessee Titans (25% FAAB)…

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 13

Last Thursday was full of food, family, and football. This week, we get back to normal with just one game. The FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 12 breaks down the fantasy and sports betting prospects for Seattle’s trip to Dallas.

The ‘traveling on short rest’ narrative doesn’t apply here since both the Seahawks and Cowboys hosted Thanksgiving games one week ago. Afforded their full week of rest, both squads were able to fully prepare for this pivotal matchup up NFC playoff contenders.

However, the Seahawks do have to contend with key injuries on offense, which gives them a huge disadvantage in taking on Dallas’ No. 2 ranked defense. Additionally, the Cowboys have been dominant at home. Dallas has won their last 13 games in Arlington and has been blowing teams away this season.

Dallas opened as 5.5-point favorites but that line quickly shot up to -9. Additionally, the total rose a point and a half to 47.

Matchup 

TEAM OFFENSE PASS RUSH YDS/PLAY POINTS
Seattle Seahawks 22 17 26 13 18
Dallas Cowboys 7 4 13 5 1

Geno Smith has regressed from the stellar numbers he posted out of nowhere last season. That’s caused the Seahawks to struggle to maintain drives and outscore opponents. Also, Seattle’s offensive line has been one of the poorest units in the league, leading to struggles rushing the ball and converting third downs (29th).

The Seahawks have also dropped three of their last four games and will once again be without star RB Kenneth Walker. That doesn’t bode well for their chances of pulling out a much-needed win against an opponent that has averaged 40 points per game at home this season.

Meanwhile, Dallas leads the NFL in scoring and has allowed the fourth-fewest points. The Cowboys rank second against the pass and look like a poor matchup for a Seattle squad starting a rookie backup running back. A fearsome pass rush combined with a play-making secondary will also cause major problems for Smith and the passing attack.

So, do the Seahawks stand a chance or are we in for another Thursday Night snoozefest?

Seattle Offense 

QB Geno Smith has struggled in three of his last four games- all of which Seattle has lost. Additionally, Smith has been dealing with an elbow injury. Facing a defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to the position doesn’t feel like a get-right spot…

How will Thursday’s Seahawks vs. Cowboys game go?

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 13

Luck Week 13. Or maybe it’s unlucky, depending on how your season has developed. However, if you’re reading a fantasy football waiver wire: Week 13 article, you’re probably in contention. The fantasy postseason is just two weeks away, and picking up the right players for the stretch drive is paramount.

Here are FullTime‘s Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 13 players to target.

Week 13 Byes: Baltimore, Buffalo, Chicago, Las Vegas, Minnesota, New York Giants

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Pat Freiermuth (TE) Pittsburgh Steelers (33% FAAB) – The best way to explain Pittsburgh’s offensive woes is to blame Canada. In their first game after dismissing offensive coordinator Matt Canada, the Steelers put up a season-high 421 yards off offense. The main benefactor was Freiermuth, who was playing his first game since Week 4. Muth snagged 9-of-11 targets for a career-high 120 yards. While we can’t expect those numbers again, Freiermuth immediately returns to weekly TE1 status. And the timing couldn’t be better. If he’s somehow available on your fantasy football waiver wire: Week 13, don’t be outbid for a potential difference-maker.

Jayden Reed (WR) Green Bay Packers (15% FAAB) – Reed has been included in this piece multiple times. However…
