Quarterback
Russell Wilson, Steelers (Rostered in 35% of Yahoo leagues)
Wilson is the QB10 by points per game off the heels of a 414-yard, three-touchdown, evisceration of the Bengals.

Since Week 7, Wilson is 11th in EPA per play and fourth in CPOE. Wilson and the Steelers face a Browns defense that has faded in 2024. Cleveland ranks 19th in EPA per dropback allowed and is a league-average fantasy matchup for opposing quarterbacks.

Bryce Young, Panthers (5%)
While anxious onlookers wait for the other shoe to drop with Young, he keeps putting together strong performances. Young threw for 298 yards and a touchdown with no picks and one sack. Young threw three interceptions in his first two games back starting in Week 8. The former No. 1 overall pick has not turned the ball over once in three subsequent games.

He’s just a fantasy QB2, but six teams are on bye in Week 14 and we can fully take a mid-game benching off the table, greatly reducing the floor risk.
Will Levis, Titans (12%)
Much like Young, Levis seems to have figured some things out during his time on the bench. He returned in Week 10 and has multiple touchdowns in three-of-four contests. Levis is averaging 17.5 fantasy points and 240 passing yards during that stretch. The Titans face the Jags in Week 14. No team has allowed more fantasy points to opposing passers than Jacksonville.

Running Back
Jordan Mason, 49ers (45%)
It’s oddly fitting that Mason was the biggest waiver wire add of the season to start the year and back in that position to close the year. Christian McCaffrey suffered a knee injury on Sunday and may miss the rest of the season. With the 49ers all but eliminated from playoff…
