Dec 10, 2024

Week 14 was tricky with six teams being on a bye. There were still eight quarterbacks who threw for at least 300 yards. There were also 14 quarterbacks who threw at least two touchdown passes.

Bye weeks are in the books and many fantasy leagues have started their playoffs for Week 15. While streaming quarterbacks might no longer be needed for some fantasy managers, others could still use some help at the position from the waiver wire.

For streaming purposes, 4for4’s Schedule-Adjusted Fantasy Points Allowed (aFPA) is a metric we rely heavily on to determine weekly matchup strength. As the season progresses and more data is available, aFPA becomes more and more reliable, using rolling 10-week data. Targets and efficiency metrics are also considered when choosing weekly streamers.

To provide advice you can implement, candidates for streaming must be rostered in no more than 40% of Yahoo! fantasy leagues.

Week 14 Recap

Most of the juicy stat lines from quarterbacks in Week 14 came from some of the most rostered players. In terms of the streamers who provided some value, we hit on Russell Wilson, who finished as QB12. While he only threw for 158 yards against the Browns, he finished with two passing touchdowns.

In terms of our biggest flops last week, Will Levis has to be mentioned after he finished as QB24. Facing a Jaguars team that has one of the worst secondaries in the league, Levis threw for just 168 yards and no touchdowns. Prior to that, he had posted two touchdown passes in three of his previous four games.

Top Streamers Picks

Russell Wilson – 16.0 Fantasy Points (QB12)
Will Levis – 7.0 (QB24)

Deep League Picks

Derek Carr – 12.0 (QB22)
Aidan O’Connell – 6.8 (QB25)

Aaron Rodgers (Jets) at Jaguars

Rodgers threw for 339 yards against the Dolphins last week, marking his first game of the year with at least 300 passing yards. He attempted 39 passes along the way, which was his second straight game with at least 39 pass attempts. The downside was that Rodgers only threw for one touchdown against the Dolphins.

Prior to last week, Rodgers had recorded at least two touchdown passes in four of his last five games. As good as the Jaguars were against Levis, they are still tied for the third-most touchdown passes allowed in the league. That has contributed to them being ranked 28th in aFPA to quarterbacks. Rodgers has the potential for 300 passing yards and multiple touchdowns in this matchup.
