You may have noticed that six teams are on bye this week. As we approach the fantasy playoffs, this isn't ideal. However, planning ahead will ensure you're fine. That's why it's crucial to look ahead to Week 14 when another six teams will have a bye - the Broncos, Colts, Commanders, Patriots, Ravens, and Texans. Stars like Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Bo Nix, Nico Collins, and Jayden Daniels will be off. Make sure you're well-prepared. Now, let's move on to the rest of the notes.
De'Von Achane has been flying under the radar this season. He's had four games with at least 23 fantasy points. Only Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, and Joe Mixon have more such games, yet Achane isn't getting the recognition he deserves.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba has achieved 11-plus targets in two consecutive games. This week, he'll face the Cardinals, who have allowed 0.34 Expected Points Added (EPA) per target to slot receivers this season, according to Next Gen Stats. Notably, JSN has the highest slot route percentage in the NFL.
Good luck this week. Remember to prepare your roster for the bye weeks to make the most of your fantasy lineup.
