Week 14 starts the playoff weeks for some fantasy football leagues. With all the fantasy baseball Hot Stove news, we had to push back this feature one day but with that said let's take a look at who makes the cut this week. This late in the season as well, there is not much to discuss when it comes to drops so we will stay with just the adds.
WEEK 14 ADDS
Jay Cutler: Although he hasn't been cleared yet to return, the general feeling is that Cutler will be cleared to start Week 14. Having the best set of receivers in football in the form of Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffrey alone makes Cutler a major add if anyone foolishly dropped him weeks ago, Sure the interception threat is big but Cutler is setup for a nice finish to the season given his weaponry.
Julian Edleman: It is likely Edelman was dropped in your league starting a few weeks ago when Danny Amendola and Rob Gronkowski returned. It was assumed, and we went right along with it, that Edelman would be marginalized with their return but instead he has become a huge PPR weapon over Amendola the last two weeks.
Andre Holmes: Sure the chances of Holmes being a one-week wonder are real but the way he was able to get down the field for big plays on Thanksgiving was interesting. Matt McGloin has shown no hesitancy to throw the football long so these two could put up another nice outing this weekend.
Ace Sanders: Sanders has come on of late in place of Justin Blackmon by catching 8 balls and a touchdown last weekend. The Jaguars have thrown the football a bunch this season and as bad as they are, they have provided fantasy football owners of their wideouts some nice production.
Ladarius Green: Green played 91 percent of the snaps with the San Diego Chargers last week and he now clearly is being pushed onto the field as the team has now gone to a two-tight end set like we had seen in the past from New England before Aaron Hernandez lost his mind. Green caught only two balls last week but one went for a score and his athletic ability reminds me of a young Antonio Gates.
Zach Ertz: Ertz was a highly touted tight end in last season's draft but he struggled to find consistency until the middle of the year. Catching two touchdown passes in Week 13 showed how far Ertz has come however and so those in need of tight end help should look here after checking out Green.
Oakland Raiders Defense: The Raiders draw the New York Jets and rookie QB Geno Smith so that is fantasy football gold right there. I recommended the Miami Dolphins defense in this spot last week and they responded with a monster effort.
