Week 14 fantasy football quarterback rankings: Sit 'Em

Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals

Joe Burrow was lighting up opposing NFL defenses at the start of the season. He has since cooled down and is now also dealing with a pinky injury. He appears to be ready to go, but that is notable in such a crucial week of fantasy football.

In general, Burrow has struggled as of late. He has five interceptions in his last four games, but only three touchdowns in that span. However, he does have two rushing touchdowns in that timeframe as well.

The finger injury is just too big of a red flag in such a crucial week. Look away from the young Burrow, who remains a streaky player, healthy or not.

Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers

Cam Newton feels like a great option in fantasy football because of his reputation. But too much is going on with him and the Carolina Panthers to trust him this week.

Newton went 5/21 for 92 yards and two interceptions in his last start against Miami. The Panthers, as a result, fired offensive coordinator Joe Brady over the weekend. The system isn't going to change, but it is clear Newton is not his former self.

This will mark Newton's third start of the 2021 season, and there are just too many unknowns for fantasy football owners. Newton is not a wise choice for the playoffs and may not be a solid starting option until 2022, if he even has a job.

Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks

Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks may have brought back some faith to the fanbase after Sunday's win over the San Francisco 49ers. But the Seahawks are still 4-8 on the year, and Wilson only had 231 yards and two touchdowns in Week 13.

He has continued to struggle since returning from injury in Week 10 and, like Newton, may be coasting off his reputation in fantasy football. But it's not wise to set a lineup so late in the season.

Wilson is not doing enough with his legs to make up for his lackluster numbers through the air either. A matchup against Houston seems enticing in fantasy football, but there are too many question marks to have confidence in the Seahawks veteran. It is never a good sign when the main storyline surrounding a player has to do with offseason trade rumors.
