Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 14

The fantasy postseason push opens with a premiere game between NFC North contenders. Coincidentally, both teams played last Thursday and come off a full allotment of rest. This should be an exciting game, loaded with fantasy-relevant players. FullTime Fantasy‘s Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 14 covers all fantasy-relevant for the game.

The Green Bay Packers have won three straight and sit at 9-3. Matt LaFleur’s squad is 4-1 on the road but has struggled against NFC North foes, posting a 1-2 record in divisional play. One of those defeats came one month ago against these same Lions. Evening the score is crucial for the Packers to remain in the hunt for the top overall seed.

Meanwhile, the Lions keep rolling. Detroit has won 10 consecutive games and leads the NFL in scoring. The Lions have been particularly potent at home, where Dan Campbell’s team is averaging over 35 points per game.

Vegas is predicting a good one. Detroit is favored by just 3.5 points and the total of 51.5 is the highest figure of the Week 14 slate.

Matchup 

TEAM OFFENSE PASS RUSH YDS/PLAY POINTS
Green Bay Packers 3 10 5 2 8
Detroit Lions 2 5 4 3 1

These two NFC North rivals are closely matched. They have evenly split their last 10 meetings. Both teams are top-3 in overall offense, top-5 in rushing, and are among the three most potent big-play units.

They are also fairly even on the defensive side of the ball. The Lions allow the second-fewest points per game while Green Bay is 10th. Both squads are top eight against the run, which is a fascinating dynamic with both teams running the ball exceptionally well on offense.

In fact, in their last 10 matchups, these two teams are separated by just .1 yards per rush.

Green Bay and Detroit have a combined record of 30-6. Half of those losses came to NFC North foes.

Green Bay won 29-22 at Ford Field last season and the Lions are looking for payback in a statement game.

Should be a good one.

Waiver Wire: Week 14

In some ways, August was a long time ago. However, from a fantasy football perspective, it seems like just yesterday. All those research, mock drafts, and prep hours led us to this pivotal Week 14. This is what it was all for. But this Week 14 is the cruelest of all, with six teams off. We’ll do our best to help you navigate it with our Waiver Wire: Week 14.

Along with knowing who to pick up, FullTime Fantasy‘s Matchup Analyzer Tool will help you get the most out of your lineup.

Week 14 BYES: Baltimore, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, New England, Washington

circa

Jordan Mason (RB) San Francisco 49ers – After a pair of games with little usage after Christian McCaffrey’s return, it’s possible that Mason managers cut bait. Now, with CMC’s season over, Mason is a potential championship winner as San Francisco’s starter down the stretch. Feel free to empty your entire remaining FAAB budget in leagues where Mason is available. And a speculative bid on Issac Guerendo also makes sense as a consolation prize.

Adam Thielen (WR) Carolina Panthers – I mentioned Thielen last week and he came through with another solid outing. We love the touchdown production. However, it’s the 25% target share and 28% air yards share in Week 13 that has me very interested in pursuing Thielen where he’s un-rostered.

Braelon Allen (RB) New York Jets – Breece Hall was limited last week and didn’t look healthy on Sunday. With the Jets…

Waiver Wire: Week 13

After a wild Week 12 that was marred by six teams on bye, the holiday Week 13 brings the field up to full strength. The playoffs are now within site, making this Thanksgiving slate the most important. Our Waiver Wire: Week 13 will help you reinforce your rosters for the final push.

Along with knowing who to pick up, FullTime Fantasy‘s Matchup Analyzer Tool will help you get the most out of your lineup.

Here are the low-rostered players you should consider adding before Week 13. Also, a friendly reminder that the first-ever Black Friday Game will take place this week, in addition to three Thursday tilts.

Week 13 BYES: NONE 

circa

Jeremy McNichols (RB) Washington Commanders – Brian Robinson got injured early in Week 13 and Austin Ekeler suffered a late concussion. Ekeler is very unlikely to play and Robinson could miss time. That puts McNichols in line to have a significant role at home against the Titans. McNichols has been productive with limited touches, so he’s a priority add worth 8-10% of your remaining FAAB. Teammate Chris Rodriguez can also be targeted in deeper leagues.

Keon Coleman (WR) Buffalo Bills – Out of sight, out of mind. Coleman has now missed three weeks of action. It’s plausible that his manager was forced to drop him last week just to field a credible Week 12 lineup. If that’s the case, make Coleman one of…

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 12

After a pair of high-profile games with plenty of fantasy production, Week 12 reels it back in with an AFC North slugfest. The division-leading Pittsburgh Steelers come off a victory over the Ravens and travel to Cleveland to take on the last-place Browns. FullTime Fantasy‘s Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 12 covers all fantasy-relevant for the game.

Mike Tomlin is doing another masterful job in Pittsburgh. The Steelers have won five straight to take a game-and-a-half lead in the AFC North.

Meanwhile, the Browns have improved but lost six of their last seven. Changes could be coming to Cleveland. However, Kevin Stefanski’s team will be ready to pull off the upset.

The Steelers enter this game as 3.5-point favorites and the total has plummeted from 42.5 down to 36.5. That sounds like a November AFC North battle.

Matchup 

TEAM OFFENSE PASS RUSH YDS/PLAY POINTS
Pittsburgh Steelers 19 28 9 22 18
Cleveland Browns 27 23 30 32 31

You can pinpoint Cleveland’s struggles down to an offense that has had little success. The Browns rank last in yards per play and next to last in scoring. However, most of that is due to having Deshaun Watson under center. Cleveland failed to score 20 points in any game started by Watson. Cleveland has also scored the second-fewest points.

Cleveland’s offense has looked far more credible with Jameis Winston as the quarterback. However, that once-vaunted Browns’ defense has fallen off. The Browns’ stop unit ranks 21st overall and 31st in sack rate.

Like the Browns, Pittsburgh’s offense has improved with a new signal-caller. However, this is a classic Steelers team that wins with defense and a top-10 rushing attack.

And unlike Cleveland, Tomlin’s stop unit remains elite. Pittsburgh boasts the NFL’s No. 2 overall defense. The Steelers are especially stingy against the rush, forcing Winston and company to air it out and risk turnovers.
