Week 14 Player Notes & Start/Sit Advice

After throwing exactly 26 passes in three consecutive games from Week 9 to Week 11, Jared Goff threw 37 passes against the Bills in Week 12 and 41 passes against the Jaguars in Week 13. Passing volume is subject to game script, of course, but it does feel as if Lions head coach Dan Campbell and OC Ben Johnson have loosened the reins on Goff, who’s been the QB10 in fantasy scoring over the last two weeks. Consider Goff a low-end QB1 this week against a Minnesota defense that has surrendered a league-high 3,403 passing yards.

It was fair to assume that Deshaun Watson would show signs of rust after not having played in a regular-season game sine Jan. 3, 2021, but I didn’t expect him to be that rusty. Watson completed 12-of-22 passes against the Texans for 131 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception. He also ran seven times for 21 yards. Watson’s 54.6% completion percentage looks even worse when you consider that his average depth of target on those 22 throws was just 6.3 yards. I have Watson ranked QB15 this week in a tougher matchup against the Bengals, and that ranking feels overly generous.

I feel obligated to be cautious with Mike White‘s Week 14 ranking since he’ll be facing a Bills defense that’s giving up 14.6 fantasy points per game to QBs, the seventh-lowest total in the league. But in the four games that White has started and finished for the Jets dating back to last season, he’s averaged 43.5 pass attempts and 335 passing yards. Maybe inflated passing volume can help White can squeeze out a QB1 performance even in a tough matchup.
