Fantasy Football Week 14 Rankings: QB

Raise your hand if you lost your playoff game by not starting Kurt Warner.

Good, it wasn't just me.

To be fair, I would have played Brett Favre over Warner even if the Arizona QB was 100 percent healthy. After all, Favre was coming off a ridiculous four-game streak: 1,183 yards, 12 touchdowns, no interceptions. He's completed two-thirds of his passes in all but two games this season. For Favre's sake, he had a 24:3 TD:INT ratio heading into Week 13!

Worst of all, Warner's performance would have been the difference in my two-point playoff loss. Thanks, Favre. I don't know what I would have done without you.

Mark Sanchez has been ruled out for Week 14 with a knee injury. He'll be replaced by former starter Kellen Clemens. While the matchup is good for Clemens, there's no way you want him out there in your fantasy playoffs, even in two-QB leagues. Let someone else take the risk while you go with a safer option.

Matthew Stafford has been ruled out for Week 14 with a shoulder injury. He'll be replaced by former starter Daunte Culpepper. Unlike Clemens, Culpepper has a terrible matchup and should be avoided in all leagues, even those that allow QBs in the flex position.

Matt Ryan hasn't been ruled out for Week 14, with his status depending on that of his offensive line, a remarkably sensible stance to take with the franchise QB's health. Even if he manages to play, he figures to still be limited by his toe injury. The matchup is awful for whomever starts under center, and I would definitely avoid both.

At first glance, Ben Roethlisberger has an excellent matchup and should be ranked higher. The weather conditions at gametime on Thursday should be awful, and we should expect to see a low-scoring, rush-centric game from both sides. For that reason, I'd keep Big Ben and the suddenly useful Brady Quinn on the bench this week if at all possible. Roethlisberger has a shot at some short-yardage touchdowns, which is why I'd still play him over some decent No. 2 QBs.
