Several quarterbacks delivered standout performances in Week 13, surprising many fans and fantasy players alike. While Jayden Daniels’ impressive outing with three touchdown passes and a rushing score was expected, few could have predicted Russell Wilson’s explosive game. He threw for over 400 yards against the Bengals, leading the Steelers to a thrilling 44-38 victory.
In a different matchup, the Dolphins faced off against the Packers on Thanksgiving night. Despite the cold weather and a tough opponent, Tua Tagovailoa shone brightly, throwing for 365 yards and two touchdowns in a 30-17 loss. His ability to rack up fantasy points even in defeat is a testament to his talent and resilience.
Rookie Caleb Williams also made headlines on Thanksgiving, bouncing back from a rough first half against the Lions. Despite some questionable clock management during the final drive, he finished the game with 256 yards, three touchdowns, and 39 rushing yards. His performance is becoming a more consistent part of his game, making him a player to watch.
Who are the best fantasy QBs for Week 14?
Looking ahead to Week 14, fantasy managers are eager to identify which quarterbacks will shine. Jalen Hurts remains a top pick. Although his passing volume has dipped due to the Eagles’ reliance on the Tush Push and Saquon Barkley’s running, Hurts’ versatility keeps him in the elite conversation. With the Panthers coming to town, he might not need to throw much, but his ability to score in various ways makes him a must-start.
Joe Burrow, despite a challenging season for the Bengals, has been a beacon of hope. He threw for 309 yards and three touchdowns against the Steelers, showcasing his talent. As the Bengals face the Cowboys, who have struggled to contain passing attacks this season, Burrow could be set for another big game.
Josh Allen continues to impress, adapting his game to secure wins for the Bills. Whether he’s targeting his receivers, handing off to James Cook, or taking off on his own, Allen’s versatility makes him a nightmare for defenses. The Rams’ defense has shown some improvement, but they still pose little threat to Allen’s production.

Who are the best fantasy QB waiver pickups Week 14?
If you’re looking to bolster your lineup, consider picking up Russell Wilson. Currently rostered in only 35 percent of leagues, he just had a phenomenal game against the Bengals, throwing for 414 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. While the Bengals’ defense may not be intimidating, the Browns have struggled this season, making Wilson a potential gem for your fantasy team.
Another name to keep an eye on is Jameis Winston. Rostered in just 15 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Winston has the potential to explode any given week. His play can be erratic, but since taking over for the Browns, he’s shown more positives than negatives. Facing the Steelers this week, he has a chance to make an impact.
What are the biggest QB injuries Week 14?
Injury news is crucial for fantasy managers. Trevor Lawrence suffered a concussion after a brutal hit from Azeez Al-Shaair. He was carted off the field, and with the severity of the hit, it’s likely he won’t clear protocol in time for Week 14. This could mean more time for Mac Jones under center.
Tommy DeVito was inactive on Thanksgiving due to a forearm injury. Drew Lock filled in but struggled. If DeVito is healthy, he may reclaim the starting role, but that situation remains uncertain.
As we gear up for Week 14, stay tuned for updates on player performances, injuries, and potential waiver wire pickups. The fantasy landscape is always shifting, and being informed is key to making the best decisions for your lineup.
