Fantasy Football Week 14: Tim Tebow and QBs to Avoid for Your Playoff Push

With Week 14 here, fantasy football leagues are approaching the playoffs, and many teams are likely at a loss for who to start at the quarterback position to make that final push. Quarterbacks like the Denver Broncos' Tim Tebow have come through as of late, but even he is a risk to start.

Many quarterbacks have gone down this season, while others just haven't shown up. As it has been seen this season, starting any quarterback is a risk. If you want to make your playoffs, these are some guys that must be avoided.

Matt Moore

The Miami Dolphins have been on a roll as of late. After dropping their first seven games, they have gone 4-1 with Moore as their quarterback. This weekend they will be facing the Philadelphia Eagles, and that could spell trouble for Moore.

The Eagles are only allowing 230 YPG through the air, and they will be looking to put an end to their losing ways. While the Eagles offense hasn't been coming through, their defense has been strong at times. They held Eli Manning and the Giants to just one passing touchdown, so Moore shouldn't be any more difficult to stop.

While Moore has been playing great, he is someone who you should steer clear of starting this week.

Tim Tebow

The Broncos have been winning by riding on Tebow's back for five weeks now, but he won't likely be a good play against the Chicago Bears and their strong defense. The Bears have been losing players to injury on the offensive side of the ball, so their veteran defense knows that they must pick up their game and stop Tebow.

There is no doubting what Tebow can do, but he really hasn't been matched up against a defense like that of the Bears. He did face the New York Jets in Week 11. In that game, he was held to only 104 passing yards, and he didn't score until the last minute of the game.

Starting Tebow will be a risk as always, but against this veteran Bears defense, it would be wise to try to find a more reliable option.

Carson Palmer

Since joining the Oakland Raiders, Palmer has been playing relatively well. This weekend he will be playing the Green Bay Packers, and the defending champs could spell trouble for the veteran passer.

While the Packers are allowing the second most passing yards per game (293 YPG), they also have forced the most turnovers. This could be a tough matchup for Palmer on the road. Palmer wasn't able to do much against the Dolphins a week ago, and things should be only more difficult against the Packers.
