In this article, we’ll break down key takeaways from Week 14 to help you stay ahead of the game. From players boosting their stock in clutch performances to under-the-radar options worth a stash, let’s dive into the dynasty implications as the fantasy postseason gets underway.

Jayden Reed: Overrated or Underutilized

Jayden Reed has been a frustrating asset for fantasy managers this season, and his latest performance didn’t do much to help his dynasty stock. In a critical matchup against the Lions, Reed was a complete non-factor, logging zero receptions on just one target. That kind of performance is a tough pill to swallow, especially when the Packers had a chance to tighten the NFC North race.

Early in the season, Reed looked like a rising star, averaging over six touches and 81 yards per game through Week 9. Since the bye week, however, he’s faded into the background, managing just 73 receiving yards in his last four games combined. While Christian Watson's resurgence has siphoned some opportunities, it’s hard to pin Reed's lack of production solely on competition. The Packers simply haven’t made him a priority, and head coach Matt LaFleur hasn’t offered much insight into why their most versatile offensive weapon has gone cold.

From a dynasty perspective, Reed's stock is taking a nosedive. His inconsistent usage and recent goose egg have many managers questioning his long-term value. Unless Green Bay makes a concentrated effort to get him more involved, Reed's ceiling feels capped.

For now, Reed is shaping up to be one of the more overrated dynasty wideouts. Unless he can replicate last year’s late-season surge, his value could continue to plummet heading into 2025. Take a look at the deals below and if you see any you like it might be worthwhile to move Reed off your dynasty rosters.

Can Raiders RB Sincere McCormick Be A League Winner?

Sincere McCormick has taken full advantage of his opportunity as the Raiders’ lead back, delivering consistent performances over the past few weeks. With Zamir White and Alexander Mattison sidelined, McCormick has emerged as the team’s clear top option, showcasing both efficiency and reliability.

In back-to-back games, McCormick has surpassed 60 rushing yards while averaging over 5.0 yards per carry. His ability to sustain this level of production has been a revelation for a Raiders backfield that struggled to find stability earlier in the season. While Ameer Abdullah remains in a passing-down role, McCormick’s strong play as a rusher makes him a likely candidate to hold onto the starting job, even if Mattison returns.

From a fantasy perspective, McCormick is an intriguing option with the Raiders’ favorable schedule ahead. Matchups against the Jaguars in Week 16 and the Saints in Week 17 should keep the team committed to the run game. McCormick’s impressive PFF grades, including a top-10 rushing grade and a strong showing in yards after contact, further cement his status as a viable plug-and-play option for managers in need of a flex.

While he’s not necessarily a smash play, McCormick offers plenty of upside in the right matchups. If he continues to perform at this level, he could secure a meaningful role not only for the rest of the season but also heading into 2025.
