2022 Week 14 Fantasy Soccer Sleepers
🚨 HEADS UP 🚨 These are sleepers. They won’t mimic my rankings 100%. That is chasing upside and sometimes carries extra threat.
QUARTERBACK
POSSIBLY START: Jared Goff, DET — Goff is coming off two good video games, which simply so occur to be at residence. Goff is healthier indoors, with 18 of his 19 touchdowns coming inside (9 video games). Final time he confronted the Vikings, Goff had 277-1-1 for 13.9 fantasy factors, and that was a highway recreation. Goff is definitely worth the threat at residence in a pleasant matchup and with all of his receivers wholesome… although I really feel like I’m operating into this error of of venture once more.
RUNNING BACK
POSSIBLY START: D’Onta Foreman, CAR — Foreman sounds able to go after getting dinged up earlier than the Panthers’ bye, and after posting 118, 118, 130 and 113 dashing yards, respectively, in his 4 video games with 15+ carries, there’s good purpose for pleasure. The Seahawks can’t cease the run — keep in mind Josh Jacobs in Week 12? — and simply let Cam Akers put up a 17-60-2 dashing line. Foreman isn’t only a doable begin, he’s a must-start in Week 14. Chuba Hubbard is a deep flier play given this matchup for those who’re needy.
HAIL MARY START: Raheem Mostert, MIA — Who is aware of what’s going on with Jeff Wilson and Mostert? Sure, the Dolphins fell behind shortly final week, however that doesn’t fully excuse eliminating Wilson from the sport. However, now we have two causes each — however much more so Mostert — are in play this week. The Chargers are additionally extraordinarily weak to operating backs, however their offense is powerful sufficient to maintain tempo with the Dolphins, and even shock with an early lead. If Week 13 is any indication, that will imply extra Mostert, and a possible High 20 end.
WIDE RECEIVER
POSSIBLY START: Zay Jones, JAX — Jones had fantasy outputs of 10.8 and 20.0 within the two weeks earlier than the Lions letdown. He nonetheless noticed seven targets final week, and the matchup with the Titans may help Jones rebound. The Titans have given up the fourth-most receptions (170), second-most yards (2,308 yards) and most touchdowns (17) to wideouts this yr.
POSSIBLY START: Courtland Sutton or Jerry Jeudy, DEN — If Sutton can play, he’s in line for a strong recreation, and if not, Jeudy can step up for a High 30 end of his personal. The Chiefs are High 10 in permitting receptions and yards to wideouts, however the even better attraction is that they’ve allowed the second-most touchdowns, which helps receivers have a startable week even with mediocre yardage.
HAIL MARY START: Van Jefferson, LAR — The Raiders are on faucet for the Rams, and whereas there’s practically nothing left to love on this staff, Van Jefferson is a positive desperation play. He has a 19-11-136-2 receiving line up to now 4 video games. Okay, sure, these yards are gross. Nevertheless, it is a landing hope (and prayer… and letter to Santa…), which might place Jefferson for 10 factors and a High 30 end.
Oh, and with that GIF, be sure to observe Violent Night time!

TIGHT END
HAIL MARY START: Chigoziem Okonkwo, TEN — Make the “bless you” jokes, however Okonkwo has 10-7-103 mixed up to now two video games, and, hey, that’s adequate for TE16 (#BanTEOnlySpots). Even whereas solely permitting 4 touchdowns to tight ends on the yr, the Jaguars nonetheless enable the Thirteenth-most FPPG to tight ends, and their APA is eighth greatest for Week 14.
Enjoyable with Rankings!
Worst Christmas Songs
