Rico Dowdle is quietly having a strong 2024 fantasy football season as he currently ranks as the RB27 overall. He has been particularly good in recent weeks for the Dallas Cowboys, finishing among the top 10 weekly running backs in three of his past seven games.
This includes an RB5 finish last week when he set his season-high with 123 scrimmage yards, giving him plenty of momentum heading into a favorable Week 14 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Drake London is also trending in the right direction, as his volume has significantly increased in recent weeks for the Atlanta Falcons. He has recorded 20 receptions on 37 targets across his last three games, finishing among the top 20 weekly wide receivers in two of them. He also has an ideal matchup this week against the Minnesota Vikings' struggling passing defense.

Fantasy Football Week 14 Sit 'Em picks

Geno Smith has struggled in the Seattle Seahawks' three games since their bye week, finishing as the QB20 or worse in all three of them. He also has just two games with multiple touchdown passes this year, making him a fade in Week 13 fantasy football against the Arizona Cardinals.
Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool has also suggested avoiding Cade Otton in fantasy football this week. He went on a tear after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost their top two wide receivers, finishing among the top 12 weekly tight ends five times in a six-game span.
In two games since Mike Evans' return, he has ranked as the TE23 and TE32, so he is trending in the wrong direction ahead of his matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Must Sits

- Geno Smith

- Alexander Mattison
