"First, analytics writer Seth Walder breaks down three stat trends that could be pivotal this weekend. Then, fantasy writer Eric Moody highlights five players who are rostered in less than 50% of ESPN leagues as of Saturday and could be started in a jam. That's followed by NFL analyst Ben Solak's three potential surprises, NFL analyst Matt Bowen's key matchup to watch and sports betting analyst Pamela Maldonado's favorite bet for Week 14."
"Will the Broncos' pass rush be too much for Raiders quarterback Geno Smith? The Broncos are on pace to tie the single-season team sack record (72). There is arguably no better matchup for them to move ahead of that pace than a game against the Raiders. Smith has taken sacks at a 10.6% rate, the highest among all QBR-qualifying quarterbacks this season. And with Denver as solid favorites in Las Vegas, the Broncos should force Smith into plenty of desperate passing situations."
The Lions defeated the Cowboys on Thursday night to open Week 14. Thirteen games remain on the slate with last-minute analytical and fantasy nuggets to consider. Three stat trends are highlighted as pivotal, along with five low-rostered players who could be usable emergency fantasy starts.

Reporters answer important quarterback questions, covering Steelers-Ravens advantages, Adonai Mitchell's upside against Miami, the Offensive Player of the Year stakes, Bears strategies versus the Packers, Commanders-Vikings offensive expectations, and Justin Herbert's left-hand injury.
