Ty Johnson

We’ve made it. The fantasy football playoffs are upon us. Each week this column will analyze a player at each position rostered in 50 percent of Yahoo leagues or less. This group of players is basically a dream stream team. For reference, the threshold used for wins and losses in this article will be if the quarterbacks can score 15 plus points and if the rest can score 10 plus PPR points. Here is the fantasy football stream team for Week 14.

Fantasy Football Week 14 Stream Team

Quarterback – Andy Dalton (DAL – 13%) @ CIN

Revenge game narrative Andy Dalton is just what 2020 ordered up. It’s the matchup we didn’t know we needed. This will be the first time Dalton takes on his former team when the Dallas Cowboys travel to Cincinnati to take on the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals are currently in shambles and look like one of the worst teams in the league without Joe Burrow. Their defense has been just downright bad all around. They’ve only been mid-pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks this year but that’s also because they’ve been run on so much as well. It’s still a defense that can be beat through the air. The Cowboys could certainly lean on Ezekiel Elliott and the running game as well but Dalton should have no problem moving the ball through the air and should be extra motivated to take on his former team. Both of these teams run at a fast pace and Dalton could be a nice streaming option in a deeper league or in a pinch this week.

Honorable Mentions – Mitchell Trubisky (CHI – 13%) v HOU, Philip Rivers (IND – 40%) @ LV

Running Back – Ty Johnson (NYJ – 2%) @ SEA

When Frank Gore left the game in the first quarter with a concussion this weekend, Ty Johnson stepped in and delivered the best game of his career. He handled 22 carries for 104 yards and a score on the ground and chipped in another 13 yards through the air on two receptions. This was the first 100-yard game of Johnson’s career and his first career rushing touchdown as well. There is some concern as we’ve seen this story before. Johnson was a sixth-round rookie last year for the Detroit Lions who was a buzzy waiver-wire pickup when Kerryon Johnson went down last year. Unfortunately he was a massive disappointment and he was waived by the Lions this year. He’s not a special talent but does provide intriguing speed. He didn’t get an invite to the combine but at Maryland’s pro day, he logged a 40-yard dash time between 4.3 and 4.4 seconds which would have been the fastest of any running back in last year’s class. There’s always concern in rostering a New York Jets running back, especially a third string one, but if Johnson is going to see the majority of the snaps and another 20+ opportunities, he needs to be on the radar. The matchup against the Seattle Seahawks isn’t anything special but it’s not something to be feared either as they allow the eleventh-most PPR points to running backs so far this year. Johnson could be a decent option for fantasy managers in need of a running back this week.

Honorable Mentions – J.D. McKissic (WAS – 48%) @ SF, Phillip Lindsay (DEN – 44%) @ CAR

Wide Receiver – Tim Patrick (DEN – 21%) @ CAR

Throw out the Week 12 game from all Denver Broncos for fantasy purposes. That was the Kendall Hinton week in which they barely threw the ball. In every other game this season, Tim Patrick has at least four targets. When removing that game, he has double-digit PPR points in four straight games and seven of his last eight dating back to Week 3. In that same span, he’s averaging more than 16 PPR points, removing the “Hinton” game. Patrick also has 3 100-yard games this year and five touchdowns on the season. This week’s matchup against the Carolina Panthers is a middle-of-the-road matchup. They’ve been better against the pass than the run but it’s not a matchup to shy away from. Patrick continues to get it done weekly and should see another week of solid volume and makes for a great streamer option this week.

Honorable Mentions – Darnell Mooney (CHI – 12%) v HOU, Keke Coutee (HOU – 27%) @ CHI

Tight End – Jordan Akins (HOU – 6%) @ CHI

When Will Fuller was suspended for six games, it was thought that Jordan Akins would be one of the primary beneficiaries. That wasn’t the case last week. He only saw three targets and hauled in two of them for ten yards. Last week, however, was a week in which the matchup was more exploitable with the wide receivers. This week’s matchup against the Chicago Bears is a bit different. The Bears do a nice job of limiting wide receivers and tend to give up a lot more production to tight ends. They currently allow the third-most PPR points to tight ends this season. As always, tight end specific defense can be a bit noisy, but in this case there could be something to it considering how they defend the wide receivers combined with the pass rush they get on quarterbacks. Akins should be able to capitalize if this is the case. If he’s able to get at least five targets, I like his chances in this one.

Honorable Mentions – Logan Thomas (WAS – 40%) @ SF, Dalton Schultz (DAL – 20%) @ CIN
