7 Deep Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 14

Josh Allen, QB, Buffalo Bills

Yahoo! Ownership: 13%

Over the last two weeks, a surprising name is at the top of the fantasy quarterback ranks: Josh Allen. The Buffalo Bills quarterback has racked up 26.3 and 28.74 fantasy points in Weeks 12 and 13, respectively, while completing just 50.0% of his passes. How’s that possible?

Allen has rushed for 234 yards and a score in the last two weeks. Only Phillip Lindsay and Lamar Miller have gained more yards on the ground in that span. That rushing ability gives the rookie a high floor in fantasy as he would have ranked as the QB18 without even considering his passing stats -- 391 yards and 3 touchdowns, which were solid in their own right.

Allen is set up with a nice matchup in Week 14 against a New York Jets defense that has given up an average of 278.0 yards and 2.0 touchdown passes the last two weeks. When the Jets faced the Bills back in Week 10, they gave up nearly 240 passing yards and 2 touchdowns to career backup Matt Barkley. Add in Marcus Mariota gaining 43 yards on just 4 carries against New York last week, and Allen could not be in a better spot for the first round of the fantasy playoffs.
