Week 14 Booms and Busts by Logan Lepiscopo

Week 14 Booms and Busts

By: Logan Lepiscopo

The final week before the fantasy football postseason begins! Bye weeks could be detrimental to people making the fantasy football postseason, but this is what the boom-and-bust articles are for! Injuries and bye weeks will never go away, it is all about adapting and overcoming those bumps in the road to get into the fantasy football postseason. Reminder: Just because I said a player is going to be a bust this week does not mean that you should bench them, it is just merely a reminder that the tough matchup could lead to an underwhelming performance.
