Week 14 fantasy football rankings: Playoff berths on the line

The biggest bye week of the season comes during the most important week for fantasy football teams. Stars such as Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Nico Collins, Joe Mixon and Terry McLaurin won’t be available to help make that final playoff push, so fantasy managers may have to dig deep into their benches (or the waiver wire) to secure that all-important win.

ON BYE: Baltimore, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, New England, Washington

Fantasy football rankings for Week 14 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.
