Week 14: By the Numbers

Wide Receivers

The Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (currently tied as the fantasy WR23 this season) has been a Top-10 fantasy wide receiver (fantasy WR4) over his last three games. Moore has totaled 22 receptions for 265 yards receiving with two touchdowns on 30 targets. His 96 targets this season rank 10th among all wide receivers. It’s a tough Week 14 matchup on the road against the Niners (ranked 7th versus opposing wide receivers), but the Bears wideout should see enough volume to post decent numbers as a low WR-two or flex play. 

Tight Ends

The Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers just continues to produce every week. Bowers is the number one fantasy tight end this season, leading all at the position with 84 receptions, 884 yards receiving, and 113 targets. Bowers has recorded 11 catches for 20+ yards (tied for most) and 4 touchdowns (tied for 5th at the position). While his week 14 opponent (Buccaneers, ranked 27th versus opposing tight ends) have been playing better against the position, Bowers should continue to see plenty of work (40 targets over the last three games). Bowers remains a must-start this week. 

The Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has been targeted 75 times this season (ranks 6th among all tight ends). Ertz ranks in the Top-10 for all receivers (TE, WR, etc) in red zone targets this season and his 4 touchdowns ranks second on the team. He’ll still remain a low TE1 in fantasy coming out of the bye.

That's my take
