Fantasy Football Week 14 Streamers: Quarterback, Tight End and Team Defense
Before unveiling Week 14’s streamers, let’s see how Week 13’s streamers did (Yahoo! scoring, 0.5-point PPR).
Quarterback: Jared Goff-21.6 points
Tight End: Foster Moreau-3.7 points
Team Defense: Cleveland Browns–30 points
The NFL schedule makers clearly hate fantasy football managers, with six teams (Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, Washington Commanders, New Orleans Saints, Indianapolis Colts and Atlanta Falcons) on a bye this week.
But with that, here are your quarterback, tight end and team defense streamers for Week 14.
Quarterback: Jared Goff, Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings
Goff went 31-for-41 for 340 yards with two touchdowns against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 13, delivering on being in this spot last week. It’s back to the well this week, in an even better matchup.
The Minnesota Vikings are allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season (19.93; Yahoo! scoring). They are also allowing the most passing yards per game, and three of the last four quarterbacks they’ve faced have thrown for at least 330 yards–the last two being Mac Jones and Mike White. Going back to since their Week 7 bye they’ve allowed over 325 passing yards to four of six opposing signal callers, and one of the others (Dak Prescott) had 276 yards and two touchdowns in a blowout loss ofr the Vikings.
Another layer in favor of Goff is Sunday’s game being at home. He has multiple passing touchdowns in six of seven home games this season, with at least 16.5 fantasy points (Yahoo! scoring) six times as well. It’s back to the well with Goff as my quarterback streamer this week.

Others To Consider: Ryan Tannehill, Tennessee Titans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars; Mike White, New York Jets at Buffalo Bills; Tyler Huntley, Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers (assuming Lamar Jackson is out); Daniel Jones, New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles; Mac Jones, New England Patriots at Arizona Cardinals (Monday night);
Tight End: Greg Dulcich, Denver Broncos vs. Kansas City Chiefs
After a multi-week downturn, Dulcich got back in the good graces of fantasy football managers with six receptions for 85 yards (on eight targets) against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. The Broncos’ offense is not a place to find a bunch of fantasy goodness, but the rookie tight end stands out.

It’s not a great matchup for Dulcich in Week 14, as the Kansas City Chiefs are in the top-12 of the league against tight ends (Yahoo!, 0.5-point PPR). But since their bye in Week 8 it’s safe to say they haven’t faced a murderer’s row at the position, and one of the best they’ve faced (Hayden Hurst) left last week’s game early.
Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton is day-to-day with a hamstring injury, and he could miss Sunday’s game. It won’t be pretty the way Russell Wilson is playing, but Denver is sure to be facing a negative game script and someone has to get the targets.
Dulcich is in line for solid volume again this week, and a touchdown is not out of the question. In a thin week at the position, as it is many weeks, here’s your easy top tight end streamer for Week 14.

Others To Consider: Evan Engram, Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans; Hunter Henry, New England Patriots at Arizona Cardinals (Monday night); Tyler Conklin, New York Jets at Buffalo Bills; Noah Fant, Seattle Seahawks vs. Carolina Panthers; Daniel Bellinger, New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles;
Team Defense: Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns
They allowed 24 points to the Chiefs in Week 13, but the Bengals held Patrick Mahomes to 223 passing yards and one touchdown through the air. Cincinnati’s defense has posted double-digit fantasy points just once all season, but Week 14 is shaping up solidly for them.
As expected, Deshaun Watson was rusty against his former team in his Browns’ debut last week (12-for-22 for 131 yards with an interception). The Bengals defense is far better than Houston’s, so any misfires or lack of pocket presence stands to yield more mistakes this week.
The Bengals are a solid-floor, solid-upside fantasy defense this week. A handful of combined sacks and takeaways is within the realm of possibilities Sunday, and the Browns don’t seem fully equipped to score a lot.
