Tell us what you think and best answers will be featured in the Winners Club newsletter.
For most fantasy football leagues, Week 14 marked the end of the regular season. If you’ve made it to the playoffs, congratulations. If you fell short, well, sorry for your loss and best of luck playing DFS the next few weeks.
The 2021 fantasy season has been a wild ride. Jonathan Taylor and Cooper Kupp emerged as fantasy superstars. Cordarrelle Patterson came out of nowhere in his ninth NFL season to become fantasy relevant. And perhaps the most reliable fantasy stud of the last three years, Patrick Mahomes, has been hit or miss.
But if you’ve got Mahomes on your roster and you made the playoffs, you’re not benching the guy, right? His next three games: at Chargers, home vs. Steelers, at Bengals. Mahomes is still a top 10 fantasy QB, even though he’s closer to QB10 than QB1.
As far as playoff strength of schedule goes, the most dangerous fantasy quarterback might be Matthew Stafford. The Rams QB faces three straight bottom-10 pass defenses – starting in Week 15 vs. Seattle, against whom Stafford had 365 yards and a TD in Week 5.
Bills QB Josh Allen, on the other hand, has his work cut out for him. This season’s top-scoring fantasy QB faces Carolina (ranked first in pass defense) in Week 15, followed by a rematch against the stingy Patriots defense in Week 16.
