Depending on which platform you use for your fantasy football league, Week 14 is either the last week of your regular season or the first week of your playoffs.
Either way, you're probably still in contention or else you wouldn't be reading this article.
It all comes down to this. Every week could lead to instant elimination. Some of your hardest lineup decisions may have been made for you by injuries, but there's still a strategy involved in selecting your No. 2 WR or your flex player.
And don't underestimate your starting kicker and defense/special teams unit; look for the best matchups and don't be afraid to stream.
Let's break down the rankings for players at all positions heading into Week 14, and may the best team advance!
Quarterbacks
It's been a rough season for the Green Bay Packers' Aaron Rodgers, who has endured a four-game losing streak and has had to field countless questions from reporters about what's wrong with the Packers and, more specifically, what's wrong with him.
But things seem to be trending upward again for Rodgers and his Packers, who have won their last two games and host the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14.
Despite all the chatter about his performance this season, Rodgers is actually the highest-scoring fantasy quarterback after Week 13, with 275.42 points on the season. That's thanks in part to his 29 touchdowns and just seven interceptions.
Rodgers' weapons are also getting healthy at the right time, so look for him to tear it up at Lambeau in Week 14.
Running Backs
The Arizona Cardinals' David Johnson continues to hold his place atop all fantasy running backs heading into Week 14.
Johnson's 1,005 yards and 11 touchdowns are already near the top for running backs in the league, but it's his 704 receiving yards and his four touchdown receptions that have put Johnson over the top as a fantasy threat this season.
Johnson's 258.90 fantasy points are more than 20 ahead of the next-best fantasy running back, the Dallas Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott. Needless to say, if you're heading into the playoffs, Johnson could carry your team to a championship.
Wide Receivers
Tampa Bay's Mike Evans is already one of the top receivers in fantasy this season, but his stellar matchup against the New Orleans Saints defense in Week 14 makes him this week's top starter.
Evans is just behind Pittsburgh's Antonio Brown in scoring this season, with 169.80 points. His 10 touchdowns are tied with Green Bay's Jordy Nelson for the second-most among all wideouts.
But Evans should be able to light it up against the Saints' secondary, which is allowing a whopping 276.8 yards per game to receivers. That's the second-most in the league behind only the Atlanta Falcons.
Tight Ends
It took awhile for him to find his footing and cement his role in the Seattle Seahawks offense, but Jimmy Graham has cemented his position as the top tight end in fantasy.
Pro Football Focus shared some of the things Graham has been doing this season to set himself apart from the pack:
There's no doubt that Graham's ascent has been helped by Rob Gronkowski's missed games due to injury this season.
But Graham has earned the top spot by amassing 769 receiving yards and five touchdowns, earning him 102.90 fantasy points. In Week 14, he's set to face a Packers secondary that has been allowing 254.3 passing yards per game and 25.2 points.
Defense/Special Teams
Not only are the Minnesota Vikings one of the best defense/special teams units in fantasy in their own right, but they've drawn a compelling matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 14.
The Jaguars are scoring only 18.7 points per game, which is the sixth-fewest in the league. Meanwhile, the Vikings are sixth in the league in sacks, with 31, and have allowed only 209 points on the season, which is the third-lowest of any defense in the league.
In terms of special teams, Minnesota's three scores off returns are the most among any team in the NFL.
Kickers
Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant's leg is set to get a lot of usage in Week 14 as his team takes on the Los Angeles Rams, a team that has allowed 75 points in its last two games.
Bryant is the top kicker in fantasy largely thanks to how frequently his offense is able to get him into position to score. His 10 field goals of 20-29 yards are tied for the most in the NFL in that category.
He's also been consistent from mid-range, with seven each ranging from 30-39 yards and 40-49 yards.
