Eddie Brown's fantasy football Week 14: Start and Sit

Well done, if you advanced to your league's fantasy football playoffs.

Your journey continues. Which means there's work to be done. Feel free to skip ahead and check out this week's match-up breakdown.

Otherwise, ESPN recently released a list of 38 players who were on rosters of playoff teams in at least 50% of its 10-team standard leagues.

I used it to put together what I'd consider the "perfect" lineup for this season. Here it is with the player's average draft position in parentheses:

QB _ Lamar Jackson (ADP: 13th round)

RB _ Christian McCaffrey (ADP: 1st round)

RB _ Dalvin Cook (ADP: 3rd round)

WR _ Michael Thomas (ADP: 2nd round)

WR _ Chris Godwin (ADP: 6th round)

TE _ Darren Waller (ADP: Undrafted)

FLEX _ Austin Ekeler (ADP: 10th round)

D/ST _ Patriots (ADP: 15th round)

K _ Wil Lutz (ADP: Undrafted)

McCaffrey was the only player (of the 38) whose ADP was in the first round.

The lesson? The draft is important (and a lot of fun), but it is only the beginning. If you plan on playing one-and-done games in December, you better be active on the waiver wire and keep an open mind.

Here's my best bets for Week 14:
