Before we get to the top 100 overall players in PPR fantasy football leagues in Week 14 (a list that can help fantasy managers make “flex” lineup decisions), it’s time for the weekly chatter and the Pontificates.

First, there are no quarterbacks included in this list. If there is a “superflex” spot in your fantasy league and you have a viable second quarterback, he should be in that spot. Of course, “viable” is a relative term – especially in the second byepocalypse of the season.

That’s right. In this most important fantasy week, the NFL (in its infinite wisdom) saw fit to schedule a six-team bye. The Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots and Washington Commanders are all on byes in Week 14.

That’s a long list of big fantasy names.

Whether you’re 11-2 and already have a Round 1 bye, or 2-11 and just waiting to be put out of your misery, play Week 14 the same way you played Week 2 – flat out.

Anything less is a disservice to everyone else in your league, especially the teams still fighting for the playoffs.
