Week 14 Fantasy Football Rankings Overview for All Positions

Kristopher KnoxDec 2, 2025

Week 14 will likely determine the fates of many football managers this season. It will mark the start of the postseason in some larger leagues and serve as a make-or-break game for playoff hopefuls in others.

It's safe to say that managers will want to have their absolute best lineups starting this week.

Unfortunately, bye weeks haven't gone away just yet, and injuries are likely to keep more than a few stars off the field. To help, we'll run down some updated point-per-reception (PPR) rankings and examine a few potential sleepers who might be available on the waiver wire.

Quarterback

Jets QB Tyrod Taylor

1. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills

2. Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys

3. Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams

4. Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals

5. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions

6. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs

7. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles

8. Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

9. Jacoby Brissett, Arizona Cardinals

10. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens

11. Bo Nix, Denver Broncos

12. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers

Sleeper: Tyrod Taylor, New York Jets

The New York Jets offense has operated more efficiently with Tyrod Taylor behind center, which means the Jets probably won't go back to Justin Fields in the near future. Taylor is also emerging as a viable fantasy sleeper and is coming off an outing with 21.3 fantasy points.

This week, Taylor and the Jets will host the rival Miami Dolphins. While Miami has started to show some growth on defense, it has still surrendered the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks (tied). For managers in a pinch, Taylor is a start-worthy option.

Taylor is rostered in only four percent of Yahoo leagues and five percent of ESPN leagues.

Running Back

Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr.

1. De'Von Achane, Miami Dolphins

2. Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions

3. Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts

4. James Cook, Buffalo Bills

5. Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals

6. Bucky Irving, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

7. Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons

8. Josh Jacobs, Green Bay Packers

9. Kyren Williams, Los Angeles Rams

10. Breece Hall, New York Jets

11. Derrick Henry, Baltimore Ravens

12. RJ Harvey, Denver Broncos

13. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles

14. Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh Steelers

15. Travis Etienne Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars

Sleeper: Chris Rodriguez Jr., Washington Commanders

It should come as no surprise that running back options are extremely limited on the cusp of the fantasy playoffs. One pseudo-starter should be available, though.

The Washington Commanders have allowed Chris Rodriguez Jr. to lead their backfield as of late, and he's become a respectable flex option. Rodriguez has topped nine fantasy points in three of his last four outings and has reached double digits in two of the last four.

This week, Rodriguez and the Commanders will face the Minnesota Vikings, who have been fairly average against the run (19th-most fantasy points allowed to RBs). He's rostered in 24 percent of Yahoo leagues and 12 percent of ESPN leagues.

Wide Receiver

Lions WR Isaac TeSlaa

1. CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys

2. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle Seahawks

3. Puka Nacua, Los Angeles Rams

4. George Pickens, Dallas Cowboys

5. Ja'Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals

6. Davante Adams, Los Angeles Rams

7. Nico Collins, Houston Texans

8. Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints

9. Jameson Williams, Detroit Lions

10. Rashee Rice, Kansas City Chiefs

11. Jaylen Waddle, Miami Dolphins

12. Ladd McConkey, Los Angeles Chargers

13. Emeka Egbuka, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

14. A.J. Brown, Philadelphia Eagles

15. DeVonta Smith, Philadelphia Eagles

16. Terry McLaurin, Washington Commanders

17. Michael Pittman Jr., Indianapolis Colts

18. Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings

19. Marvin Harrison Jr., Arizona Cardinals

20. Zay Flowers, Baltimore Ravens

Sleeper: Isaac TeSlaa, Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is dealing with an ankle sprain, which will likely mean two things for Thursday's matchup with the Dallas Cowboys. Jameson Williams is likely to fill the No. 1 role, while Isaac TeSlaa becomes a solid flex start.

TeSlaa had his most productive outing of the season in Week 13, following St. Brown's injury. He finished with 11.5 fantasy points, and he should be even more productive against the Cowboys.

Dallas has surrendered more fantasy points to opposing receivers than any other team. TeSlaa is rostered in only one percent of Yahoo and ESPN leagues.

Tight End

Jaguars TE Brenton Strange

1. Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals

2. Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders

3. Tyler Warren, Indianapolis Colts

4. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs

5. Jake Ferguson, Dallas Cowboys

6. Oronde Gadsden II, Los Angeles Chargers

7. Harold Fannin Jr., Cleveland Browns

8. Brenton Strange, Jacksonville Jaguars

9. Juwan Johnson, New Orleans Saints

10. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens

11. Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons

12. Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles

13. Colston Loveland, Chicago Bears

14. Zach Ertz, Washington Commanders

15. Dalton Schultz, Houston Texans

Sleeper: Brenton Strange, Jacksonville Jaguars

It's probably worth scooping up Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange ahead of the playoffs, even if managers don't need a Week 14 starter. Again healthy and in Jacksonville's lineup, Strange is a great fantasy option with fantastic matchup-based potential.

Since returning in Week 12, Strange has produced games of 14.3 and 13.5 fantasy points. He could be even more productive this week against the rival Indianapolis Colts.

The Colts have surrendered the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. Strange is rostered in only 32 percent of Yahoo leagues and 22 percent of ESPN leagues.
