Fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em: Week 14

Check out these starts and sits for Week 14 in fantasy football.

After watching a surprisingly decent Thursday night game between the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers, the focus shifts toward a weekend full of vital decisions for fantasy football lineups.

The majority of bye weeks have passed as only the Arizona Cardinals and Washington Commanders are the only two teams to get the week off. With most leagues finalizing the regular season in Week 14, the start/sit decisions have never been more crucial.

Hopefully, we can help get you into the dance for those trying to make it or help you spoil it for someone else.

Doing start/sit articles can be a little challenging. The players featured on the list below should not be taken as “must starts” or “must sits.” Instead, these are more suggestions on what we believe managers should do with fringe players heading into the weekend. The choice is ultimately up to the manager.

Just because a player is listed as a “start” doesn’t mean he should be put in the lineup over the secure, bona fide studs. Vice versa for the “sits.” If there’s no better option on the waiver wire or the bench, a manager shouldn’t automatically sit the player. That’s why these can be tricky waters to navigate.

Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson make incredible grabs for Packers

Packers receivers showed the gift of grab against the Chiefs

Jordan Love threw a couple passes to wide receivers in the third quarter on Sunday at Lambeau against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Somehow, Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson made catches as the Packers upped their lead to 21-12 over the Super Bowl champs.

Packers-Lions preview: Jordan Love’s improvement, and Jared Goff’s interceptions

Jordan Love of the Packers will look to continue his positive development against the Lions on Thanksgiving Day.

When the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions face off today to begin the Thanksgiving Day slate of NFL games, we’ll be watching Packers quarterback Jordan Love coming off a game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11 in which Love completed 27 of 40 passes for 322 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions, and a passer rating of 108.5.

This included Love’s game-winning touchdown pass to receiver Romeo Doubs with 2:33 left in the fourth quarter.  Love took advantage of the Chargers’ busted coverage in Quarters, and made the right throw. Love is showing development both in and out of the pocket these days.

In this week’s “Xs and Os with Greg Cosell and Doug Farrar,” the guys get further into Love’s quest to claim the title of Next Packers Franchise Quarterback.

Conversely, Lions quarterback Jared Goff is coming off a 31-26 win over the Chicago Bears in which he threw three interceptions — something he hadn’t done since he was with the Los Angeles Rams in 2019. Greg and Doug look at what those interceptions mean, and what happened.

Check out the top waiver wire targets in fantasy football for Week 12.

The fantasy football playoffs are right around the corner, and managers will need to utilize all aspects of the waiver wire entering Week 12 with most trade deadlines arriving this week.

After four teams were on a bye in Week 11, there will be no teams getting the week off. Keep in mind, though, that six teams will be on a bye in Week 13, so some moves may need to be made ahead of time.

We’ll be taking a look at the top available players rostered in Yahoo leagues, using the 75% rostered mark as the threshold. If you have any questions about prioritizing a certain player over another, don’t be afraid to hit me up on X, formerly Twitter, (@KevinHickey11). Your questions and comments are always welcome!

We also will be taking a look at some deeper players to stash and the top streaming options for the upcoming week.

Fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em: Week 9

Check out these starts and sits for fantasy football in Week 9.

With the Thursday night game in Week 9 now behind us, it’s time to focus our attention on the vital start/sit decisions to make in fantasy football for the weekend.

Four teams will be on a bye this week including the Detroit Lions, Denver Broncos, Jacksonville Jaguars and San Francisco 49ers.

Doing start/sit articles can be a little challenging. The players featured on the list below should not be taken as “must starts” or “must sits.” Instead, these are more suggestions on what we believe managers should do with fringe players heading into the weekend. The choice is ultimately up to the manager.

Just because a player is listed as a “start” doesn’t mean he should be put in the lineup over the secure, bona fide studs. Vice versa for the “sits.” If there’s no better option on the waiver wire or the bench, a manager shouldn’t automatically sit the player. That’s why these can be tricky waters to navigate.

Gene Steratore admits mistake interpreting Romeo Doubs TD catch vs. Broncos

The CBS Sports rule analyst admitted getting his interpretation wrong of Romeo Doubs’ touchdown catch against the Broncos.

Former NFL referee and current CBS Sports rule analyst Gene Steratore admitted making a mistake in his interpretation of a crucial play during Sunday’s broadcast of the Green Bay Packers’ 19-17 loss to the Denver Broncos.

The play — a touchdown pass from Jordan Love to Romeo Doubs in the second half — was called correctly on the field and upheld on review, but Steratore admitted to getting it wrong while breaking down the play for the CBS broadcast.

Steratore, who was an NFL official from 2003 to 2018, said he believed the play should have been ruled an interception for Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II because he thought Surtain fulfilled the process of making the catch before Doubs. But he got it wrong: simultaneous possession of the ball is awarded to the offensive team, so officials got the call correct on the field.

Vice president of officiating Walt Anderson confirmed the call on the field was right.

Here’s Steratore’s tweet admitting his error:

Here’s the play in question from Sunday:

Referees are human beings and make mistakes. The same goes for former referees who analyze the game for networks. Fortunately, the play was called correctly on the field and no controversy ensued. The touchdown pass from Love to Doubs cut the Broncos’ lead to 16-10, but Denver eventually held on for a 19-17 win.

After review, Gene Steratore changes his stance on Pat Surtain-Romeo Doubs play

After review, Gene Steratore now says he was wrong to say Pat Surtain should have been awarded an interception against the Packers.

Officials ruled that Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs caught a touchdown pass against Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain on Sunday.

Some fans and pundits — including ex-referee and current CBS rules expert Gene Steratore — thought that Surtain actually should have been awarded an interception on the play.

The game’s ref, Alex Kemp, disagreed with Steratore’s interpretation of the play, and after two days of review, Steratore himself has now changed his tune.

“No matter what you do, owning up and taking accountability is how you get better,” Steratore wrote on his Twitter/X page on Tuesday. “My interpretation of the play in #GBvsDEN was incorrect. I overthought it and just missed it. As a ref (whether grade school or pro), you learn the most from the <5% of calls that you miss.”

The play was still controversial, but thankfully, Doubs scoring did not decide the game. Denver held on to beat Green Bay 19-17.
