It’s hard to believe we’re already up to Week 14. It may be fantasy playoff season but this week’s game features two teams unlikely to be participating in the postseason. The FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 14 breaks down the fantasy and betting trends you need to know for Thursday night’s contest.

If either of these teams makes the postseason, it will be Las Vegas. The streaky Raiders have won three straight to crawl back into the playoff picture. Barely. Meanwhile, the defending Super Bowl champs are dead in the water and have all but thrown in the towel on a lost season.

The 3-9 Rams are 6-point home dogs to a 5-7 Raiders squad. This contest opened at 43 but has climbed to 44.5. Let’s break down this week’s streaming action.

Matchup 

TEAM OFFENSE PASS RUSH YDS/PLAY POINTS
Las Vegas Raiders 10 9 11 5 9
Los Angeles Rams 31  25  30 32 29

Things have gone from bad to worse for Sean McVay’s Rams. The offense struggled with an injured Matthew Stafford under center. However, it has regressed significantly since Stafford went on IR. Only the Broncos have been more incompetent offensively, and the Rams are lost six straight.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 14

For many fantasy football managers, the playoffs have arrived. Congratulations on making it this far! Our Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 14 will help you re-enforce your roster for these must-win games.

 

Complicating matters this week is that six teams are on bye. The free-agent stakes have never been higher. Here are the top fantasy-relevant, low-rostered Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 14 free agents to target with FAAB recommendations.

Week 14 byes: Atlanta, Green Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Washington

 

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

 

Zonovan Knight (RB) New York Jets (15% FAAB) – Although Michael Carter‘s inevitable return could complicate things, Zonovan Knight has earned a significant role in New York’s backfield. Knight has topped 100 scrimmage yards in back-to-back games. Also, the undrafted rookie is averaging a robust 5.97 yards per touch. Regardless of Carter’s status, Knight is the best bet to lead New York’s backfield down the stretch. And that makes the unheralded first-year back a waiver wire priority.

James Cook (RB) Buffalo Bills (10% FAAB) – Cook broke out last Thursday, logging a 41% snap share and turning 20 touches into 105 scrimmage yards. Those touches included a career-high 6 receptions. That’s an area that Cook excels and the Bills don’t seem too enamored with Devin Singletary. Also, the Bills rank 8th in rushing and Cook should have plenty of opportunities to produce down the stretch. Plus, Buffalo has a very favorable playoff (Weeks 15-16) schedule for running backs per FullTime Fantasy’s Strength of Schedule Tool.

James Cooks could thrive with a top-10 RB schedule in Weeks 15-16.

Thanksgiving is now behind us. However, the fantasy playoffs are now just a week or two away. The FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 13 breaks down the fantasy and betting trends you need to know for Thursday’s AFC East grudge match.

In a rare coincidence, both of these teams played last Thursday. Buffalo beat Detroit in their second consecutive game at Ford Field. Meanwhile, the Patriots lost in Minnesota in last week’s TNF game.

This is the first of two meetings between these two AFC East contenders. The Bills head into Foxborough as 4-point favorites. And, the over/under sits at 43.5 points.
