It’s Week 14 and there are fantasy football team owners battling for that final fantasy football playoff spot. A typical league these days has no team dominating every other team in their league. There are some where teams with losing records will make the playoffs. For those fighting to make the fantasy football playoffs, the Week 14 fantasy football rankings will help in setting your line-up. Make sure to check your league’s waiver wire to get the best talented players on your roster.

As we head into Week 14, the week’s biggest questions include, among others, how the Packers offense will perform without Mike McCarthy, how the Steelers offense performs without James Conner, and can the Bears hang with the big boys.

This Week 14, pay attention to the injury status of players like Cam Newton, TY Hilton, Devante Parker, and Eric Ebron. If they are active, they would be rankable players in fantasy football. Most are ranked below as they seem to have a chance of playing.
