As the fantasy football season approaches the final weeks, many players find themselves in need of a reliable quarterback. This is particularly true if your usual starter, such as Kyler Murray, is unavailable due to injury or a bye week. For those seeking alternatives, here are five quarterbacks to consider streaming in Week 14, all of whom are started in fewer than 50% of ESPN fantasy leagues.
Jared Goff vs. Cowboys
Currently started in 42.3% of fantasy leagues, Jared Goff is poised for a strong performance against the Dallas Cowboys. Known for his home-field advantage, Goff recently delivered an impressive 20.6 fantasy points against the Green Bay Packers, even without key target Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Cowboys’ defense has struggled this season, allowing the most points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Notably, 11 quarterbacks have scored more than 17 points against them this year.
Daniel Jones at Jaguars
With a starting percentage of 38.7%, Daniel Jones may not have posted remarkable numbers lately, but he offers a solid floor for fantasy teams. The matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars looks promising, as their defense ranks ninth in allowing fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. In fact, seven quarterbacks have scored more than 17 points against them. The anticipated high total of 48.5 points for this game indicates the potential for a shootout.
Jordan Love vs. Bears
Another quarterback to consider is Jordan Love, who is currently owned in 31.8% of fantasy leagues. Coming off a standout performance where he threw for four touchdowns and accumulated 25.8 fantasy points against the Detroit Lions, Love faces a favorable matchup against the Chicago Bears. Chicago’s defense has allowed the tenth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, with seven allowing over 16 points and five surpassing 21 points.
Jacoby Brissett vs. Rams
Since taking over as the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, Jacoby Brissett has been a reliable option, scoring at least 18.7 fantasy points in every game. He is currently started in 24.4% of leagues. With a matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, who recently allowed 22.5 fantasy points to Bryce Young, Brissett could be a key player in what is expected to be a high-scoring game.
Tyrod Taylor vs. Dolphins
Lastly, Tyrod Taylor offers an intriguing option, with a starting percentage of just 3.4%. Coming off his best game of the season, where he scored 21.3 fantasy points against the Atlanta Falcons, Taylor faces a Miami Dolphins defense that has allowed the seventh-most points per game to quarterbacks this year. With eight quarterbacks scoring more than 17 points against them, including five scoring over 23 points, Taylor could provide a valuable boost for fantasy teams this week.
As fantasy football enthusiasts prepare for Week 14, these five quarterbacks present viable options for those in need of a starting signal caller. With favorable matchups and proven track records, they could be the difference-makers in your fantasy lineup.
