Fantasy football expert Brandon Funston provides his weekly insight and rankings of the best players to help you win big.
Quarterbacks
New England’s Tom Brady will be without trusty tight Rob Gronkowski (suspended) this week, but he’ll get WR Chris Hogan back from a shoulder injury. That should give Brady plenty of firepower to face a Miami defense that he lit up for four TD passes just a couple weeks ago (Week 12). Brady is the top fantasy quarterback play for Week 14.

Running Backs
With 1,559 total yards, Pittsburgh’s Le’Veon Bell leads the NFL in Yards from Scrimmage. And a big chunk of that total came against Baltimore back in Week 4 (186 YFS). Facing his division-rival Ravens once again on Sunday, Bell is positioned as the top fantasy RB play for Week 14.
Wide Receivers
Los Angeles Chargers’ wideout Keenan Allen is on a historic hot streak, having caught at least 10 passes, with 100-plus yards and a TD in three consecutive games, the only player to accomplish this feat in NFL history. He looks to keep his streak alive this week against Washington, and he’ll do so as my top-rated fantasy receiver play for Week 14.
Tight Ends
Kansas City’s Travis Kelce is to top-scoring fantasy tight end through Week 13, narrowly ahead of Rob Gronkowski and Zach Ertz. This week, Gronk (suspension) and Ertz (concussion) are expected to be sidelined, which means Kelce has a much clearer path than usual to finish the week as the leading scorer at the tight end position. Facing an Oakland defense allowing the ninth-most fantasy points to the TE position, Kelce is, indeed, the top fantasy TE play this week.

Defense / Special Teams
When the Pittsburgh Steelers went to Baltimore back in Week 4, the Steel Curtain defense sacked QB Joe Flacco four times, intercepted him twice, forced a fumble and held the Ravens to just nine points. At home this week for a rematch with Baltimore, the Steelers top the list of fantasy defense plays.
