Fantasy iislands Week 14 News, Updates, Do's & Don'ts
Hold onto your fantasy jockstraps, folks! Bambo's back, slicing through Week 14 like a hot knife through butter. Whether you're climbing the playoff ladder or comfortably parked on the top-seed throne, this episode will hit you harder than that dude who punched you at the bar when you were drunk.
Shoutout to our leagues – Pizza, Fun, Champions – you enabling enablers! We've been your fantasy pusher for months, and damn, it feels good. Now, let's dive into the chaos of Week 14. Are you ready to laugh, or cringe?
QB Roulette:
Got more top 10 quarterbacks than you can count? It must be nice. Hurts, Dak, Mahomes – flip a coin. We call that a rich man's problem, like choosing between caviar and champagne. #FantasyRich
Injury Whispers:
Walker, Charbonnet, Jones – tread lightly. Jefferson's a go, but Watson's sipping Mai Tais somewhere. Pickett's ankle is a hard no, Zeke's in the maybe zone, and Stevenson's on island time. It's like a soap opera, but with more tackles. #FantasySoapOpera
Week 14 Dos and Don'ts:
Do start Jordan Addison – the hidden fantasy gem. Trust Brandon Ayoub – the carousel keeps turning. Ride Jerome Ford – run, Browds, run! Believe in Gibbs and Fields – the hunch is real. Keep Isaiah Pacheco locked – the K.C. sure thing. But don't get cute with bad offenses or QBs, or you'll end up crying in your fantasy beer. #FantasyStruggles
Caution Tape – Week 14 Don'ts:
Don't start any Patriots or Steelers receivers – unless you enjoy self-inflicted pain. Don't run against the Niners – it's like trying to outrun a bear. And for the love of the fantasy gods, don't forget the Monday night double feature. Flexibility is key unless you're a yoga instructor, then do your thing. #MondayNightFlex
Playoff Push Shoutouts:
Kudos to those who reached out for advice – we're like fantasy therapists, but with more profanity. Best of luck in Week 14, and may your lineups shine brighter than a glitter bomb.
On behalf of Sweet Tea and RW King, I'm your fantasy provocateur Bambo. Until next time, keep those fantasy dreams alive, and remember, it's just a game... until you lose. We're out! #FantasyFootball #Week14Chaos

Week 14 Headlines Plus Dos and Donts
[:[00:00:09] It's your guy Bambo here. And I will be walking you through the news dues and don'ts for week 14. Before we start special shout out to all of our leagues, listeners and followers. Pizza League, Fun League, Champions League, just to name a few. Thanks for enabling my fantasy addiction for the past four months.
[:[00:00:28] We're going into week 14 right now. And let me just first start it off with now's not the time to get cute. Now's not the time to play with your lineup. Now is not the time to second guess your studs. I'm going to go over some names right now. Basically, these are your lineup locks. These are players that stay in your lineup.
[:[00:01:11] For wide receivers, Tyreek Hill, CeeDee Lamb, Amon Ross St. Brown, Keenan Allen, Stefan Diggs, AJ Brown, Justin Jefferson, Michael Pittman Jr., Mike Evans, Puka, Jamar Chase, Nico Collins, never leave your lineup.
[:[00:01:35] We're going to get into the week 14 key injuries. Still hurting Kenneth Walker with an oblique. This is an injury that's been described as complicated. If Zach Charbonnet, who also has knee swelling, can't go. It's going to be a bad situation for Seattle, and the last man standing would be DJ Dallas. If Zach Charbonnet can go, please beware. It's a bad matchup against San Francisco. You want to avoid that at all costs. In Green Bay, Aaron Jones with a knee sprain. The Packers play Monday night in Week 14, so maybe he gets an extra day's rest, but don't bank on him.
[:[00:02:09] Justin Jefferson with the hamstring should be a good to go for the Raiders. He was mentioned earlier. Start him no matter what. Christian Watson looks like he's going to miss some time with a hamstring injury for the Green Bay Packers.
[:[00:02:40] That's real iffy. Ingram and Etienne are the only Jacksonville players you can start with confidence.
[:[00:02:55] And Chris Olave is a top end wide receiver too. Flirting with wide receiver one's status in Pittsburgh, Kenny Pickett will miss some time with a bad ankle injury. All Steelers to the bench because Trubisky isn't that guy. Can't put it any other way. For New England, Ramadre Stevenson will miss a few weeks with a high ankle sprain.
[:[00:03:29] So does Dalton Schultz. And like we said earlier, Niko Collins is a wide receiver one going forward. Don't take them out of your lineup. And in Cleveland, Amari Cooper is in concussion protocol. So pay attention to how he progresses through the week. Elijah Moore and David Njoku will benefit from Amari Cooper being in concussion protocol. Pair that with Joe Flacco leading the offense. That means Elijah Moore becomes a startable flex with potential for blow up spots and Njoku becomes a top 12 tight end.
[:[00:04:08] Look, the Niners are rolling and it seems like it's just his turn to go off. Everybody on this Niners team, when they're rolling, seems to have their big fantasy game and it's It looks like it's coming back around for Brandon Ayoub. He is a wide receiver one in this offense and the number one deep target for Brock Purdy.
[:[00:04:38] Do start Jameer Gibbs and Justin Fields in this Lions versus Bears game. I'm not going to back that up with any type of analytics or any type of stats. These guys are just due for big fantasy games. Call it a hunch. It's happening this week. In week 14, do start Isaiah Pacheco and start him going forward.
[:[00:05:13] If you have no other options, you're going to have to roll with it. But these guys could be the reason why you lose your week. And with Garrett Wilson, the Jets As of the time recording this, they're going back to Zach Wilson. I don't know how in he is going to be. I don't know how dedicated he is to this team after being cheated like a side piece.
[:[00:05:47] Niners are the real deal. They have a stout run defense, plus they can just game script you out of your run. Don't start running backs against San Francisco. Don't forget in week 14 there are two Monday night games. Dolphins at Titans, Packers at Giants. Try to put your Monday night players into flex positions just in case something happens.
[:[00:06:27] Don't take a player off the waiver wire. That's somebody that's in the playoffs could possibly use. It just sets a bad tone. Those are our week 14 news do's and don'ts. And hopefully we are going to set you up to make that playoff push and advance your team, hopefully on the way to a championship special shout outs to my man, Al, who at the beginning of the year.
[:[00:07:02] We like to make sure that we are backing it up and walking it the way that we talk it. And most important, we are setting your team up for success.
[:[00:07:13] On behalf of Sweet Tea and RW King. I'm your boy Bombo. See you next time. We're out.
