Week 14: By the Numbers
Quarterbacks
Despite some early struggles this season, the Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has been steadily working his way up the fantasy QB scoring charts. Over his last three games the rookie has been scoring as the fantasy QB6 (overall this season he’s fantasy QB17). His recent fantasy numbers are supported by his 5 touchdown passes (3 in week 13) and his 142 rushing yards. He’s got a tough week 14 road matchup with the 49ers, but with six teams on bye he should be considered a fantasy start this week.
Running Backs
The Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle is proof, if given the opportunity you can succeed. In Dowdle’s case, the necessary volume. Over his past five games, Dowdle is averaging 18.2 touches and 83.6 scrimmage yards per game with two total touchdowns, elevating him to low-end RB2 status (currently fantasy RB29 for the season - flex play territory). With a week 14 home matchup with the Bengals (ranked 28th in fantasy versus opposing running backs the last 4 weeks), Dowdle should be more than a safe RB-two fantasy start this Sunday.
That's my take
