With the fantasy playoffs underway, there’s no better time than now to get a “helping hand” when setting your lineup. The good news is that while the stakes are rising for your team, they’re also increasing for the experts that hand out advice. That’s because our accuracy competition is in its stretch run and plenty of shuffling is occurring throughout the leaderboard. That means the experts have extra incentive (as if they needed it) to make sure they’re providing the best possible advice over the next few weeks.

With this in mind, let’s take a look back at the accuracy results from week 14 to find out which experts got things right. We’ll also examine how our Year-to-Date leaderboard is shaping up with just a few weeks left in the season.

Week 14 Accuracy Results

Congratulations to Maurile Tremblay (FootballGuys) for topping week 14’s accuracy ratings. Tremblay had one of the biggest hits of the week with his ranking of Cam Newton (4 TDs). Only 4 experts ranked Cam inside their top 10 QBs. Tremblay was one of those experts and he had Newton highest of everyone (his QB #8). Tremblay did a good job of downgrading several of week 14’s disappointments as well. His ranking (RB #17) for LeSean McCoy (50 yards, 0 TDs, 1 fumble) was lower than all but 1 expert. He also made the correct call when advising fantasy owners on the popular question of whether Andre Williams or Rashad Jennings was a better fantasy play. Tremblay had Jennings 8 spots lower than the Expert Consensus (his RB #31) and Williams 9 spots ahead of the Consensus (his RB #23). It was a solid prediction as Williams rattled off 147 total yards and Jennings touched the ball only 3 times.
