Things I Learned in Fantasy Football: Week 14 Published: Dec 11, 2016 at 03:06 PM Fantasy Analyst Takeaways from Week 14 as told by the tweets of the Stronghold Scott Kingery Jersey . Just a reminder here of my thoughts Matt Harmon (@MattHarmon_BYB) If I could retweet this every hour for the rest of the season, I would. But I won't because I truly have better things to do with my time. Plus I'm sure most of you would stop following me. The point still holds, however. No one has been able to accurately predict how weather will affect football games -- and fantasy performances. It's cute to talk about snowstorms and ask players how they're preparing for games, but cold doesn't tackle or call audibles. It's merely cold. Sit players because they're playing poorly or have bad matchups. Not because of a few flurries. RIP your fantasy playoff hopes if you're facing Le'Veon Bell. Alex Gelhar (@AlexGelhar) Somewhere, someone started and is still losing their fantasy matchup. To those people, I say ... sorry 'bout your luck. Beyond that, there's really nothing to learn that we didn't already know. Bell is good at football. But it is always fun to see your fantasy studs come through in the playoffs. Jay Ajayi has one double-digit fantasy game in his last 5 ... exactly why I advised trading him away for the playoffs: Matt Franciscovich (@MattFranchise) Ajayi had a three-game stretch where he ran for a combined 529 yards. That feels like a year ago. Since then, he's yet to post 80 rushing yards in a game. That might not be so bad if Ajayi was producing in other ways. But he's scored just one touchdown since Week 9 and isn't adding a whole lot as a receiver with just 60 yards through the air. A banged-up offensive line and some bad matchups have conspired to slow Ajayi down. Maybe next week's game against the can offer a beacon Blank Jersey of hope. I'm old enough to remember when the Jets had a good run defense. M.G. (@MarcasG) Early in the season, we advised plenty of people to worry about their fantasy Juan Samuel Jersey running backs against Gang Green. Lately, rushers are chomping at the bit to face the . New York has allowed 125 or more rushing yards in four of their last five games. had done that by halftime on Sunday. When it was over, the had run for 248 yards and the aura as a solid run defense took yet another hit. Nearing the end of the 3rd QTR, Jordan Reed has played 7 off snaps (23%), Vernon Davis has played 24 (77%) Matt Franciscovich (@MattFranchise) This is always the fear with a talented player who is trying to come back from an injury. Reed tried to tell everyone that he'd be good to go and the Washington coaching staff felt comfortable activating him for the week. Unfortunately, sometimes it just means that said player will be nothing more than a decoy. But until coaches start telling us exactly how they plan to use guys -- which will happen about the same time the Earth hurtles off its axis and careens into the sun -- we're going to be left to gue s. Yeah, so Lamar Miller ended up being fine. 120 total yards and a TD so far Matt Franciscovich (@MattFranchise) Here's the thing about ... he hasn't really been that bad this year. He normally gets plenty of touches each game and has a pretty solid yards per touch average Drew Hutchison Jersey . The biggest disappointment has been a lack of touchdowns. We'd like to thank the for helping put our minds at ease for one week. It might also help if the quarterback could consistently get the offense near the goal line. (This has been another episode of " is Killing Your Team.") Something to watch: So far Jordy Nelson has played 41% of his snaps in the slot. Wondered if they'd roll him out there more. Alex Gelhar (@AlexGelhar) One of the biggest criticisms of the during their midseason offensive slump centered on a lack of creativity in the offense. While Mike McCarthy hasn't completely revolutionized what Green Bay is doing, it does appear Jorge Alfaro Jersey that the are trying to do some different things in the pa sing game. It's certainly had something to do with , and taking their place among the top fantasy players at their respective positions during the back half of the season. Wait...what?" The scored more touchdowns Sunday in Los Angeles than the have all season. The had nine rushing attempts. In the whole game. In his last four games, has 90 receiving yards. He had 90 or more yards seven times last season. has gone back-to-back games without a touchdown pa s for the first time since Weeks 3-4 of 2009. And one for the road... From this point forward, I propose that all 1-yard rushing TDs be called Asiatas. M.G. (@MarcasG) This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be mi sing content or contain faulty links.
