The final week of the fantasy football regular season for most leagues is here. The stakes could not be higher. Week 14 is where playoff dreams are clinched or crushed. Quarterback decisions carry more weight than ever. With four teams on bye and multiple starters battling injuries or inconsistency, managers must navigate a treacherous landscape. Start the right passer, and you’re alive in December. Make the wrong call, and the season ends with regret. Below, we break down the quarterbacks you must trust or avoid as you fight for your playoff life.
Let’s break down the quarterbacks you must lock into lineups and the ones you should keep far away as we enter a critical Week 14 slate.
Josh Allen didn’t need to light up the stat sheet in Week 13. However, he still delivered a rock-solid fantasy football outing in Buffalo’s 26-7 win over Pittsburgh. He threw for 123 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. Allen also added 38 rushing yards and a rushing score. He remains a signature dual-threat performance even on a low-volume passing day.
More importantly, the Bills looked in control. Allen’s legs remain a cheat code in the red zone. Cincinnati’s defense has been vulnerable to mobile quarterbacks and explosive offenses. That makes Allen a top-tier play in a game where Buffalo may need every point. In a must-win Week 14, he’s a set-and-forget QB1.
Dak Prescott continues to play some of the best football of his career. With 320 yards and two touchdowns against the Chiefs last week, Prescott now has multiple passing scores in seven of his last nine games. He fueled elite fantasy football production.
Detroit’s secondary has been shredded repeatedly this season. He has given up chunk plays and struggled against well-timed passing concepts. That’s something Prescott and CeeDee Lamb have exploited all year. With Dallas heating up late, Prescott rolls into Week 14 as a high-floor, high-ceiling QB1 in a premium matchup.
Jordan Love remains volatile. Week 13, though, showed the reward. He had four touchdowns and 234 yards in a decisive win over Detroit. His swingy play comes with major upside in matchups where Green Bay leans on the pass.
Chicago’s pass defense has tightened in stretches. Still, Love has shown a strong command of the offense and remains aggressive downfield. With bye weeks thinning out the QB pool, Love is well worth the start for managers needing ceiling potential in their do-or-die matchup.
Daniel Jones continues to battle through a fibula injury. His Week 13 performance had 201 yards and two touchdowns. Jones showed he’s settling in as a reliable facilitator of the Colts’ offense. His rushing involvement was limited, but his decision-making and accuracy were sharp.
Against Jacksonville’s inconsistent secondary, Jones offers a steady mid-tier QB2 option with TD upside. In superflex or two-QB formats, he belongs firmly in starting...
