Summary

Week 14 is all but done, and many fantasy players saw their hopes for a run in the playoffs come to an end. Odds are they faced Derrick Henry, but the Titans runner wasn't the only player to shock the masses.In a rather surprising turn of events, the Saints' offense has utterly sputtered two weeks in a row. In fact, Drew Brees has only thrown two touchdowns in his last two games compared to eight in Weeks 11 and 12 combined.Week 14 offered up as juicy a matchup as it gets (@ Tampa Bay), but Brees finished with 14.94 fantasy points; less than owners expected. Brees and the Saints get Carolina and Pittsburgh in the final two weeks of the fantasy playoffs.On the flipside, Amari Cooper had been, as a whole, underwhelming for much of the season. Then he joined the Cowboys, and then he erupted for 10 catches, 217 yards and three touchdowns in Week 14.Liz Loza, Scott Pianowski, and Matt Harmon discuss these unexpected performances and more on today’s fantasy wrap podcast.Our experts also asked you about the most tilting fantasy performances you experienced in Week 14. You can imagine how many people were affected by another eruption, courtesy of George Kittle (seven catches, 210 yards, one TD).Liz, Scott, and Matt then wrap up with a most stunning statistic that is par for the Week 14 course. A whopping 14 players scored touchdowns — those players were also owned in less than 1 percent of Yahoo leagues. Among them is James Develin, because of course.Our experts run down that list and see if there's anyone with any fantasy intrigue going forward.Please remember to rate, review and subscribe on your podcast provider of choice and send us your questions for future episodes on Twitter @YahooFantasy.Follow Liz @LizLoza_FFFollow Scott @scott_pianowskiFollow Matt @MattHarmon_BYB See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

why are you feeling so heated this evening? Hello, everyone. I'll try to keep this, I'll try to keep this

concise. There's something about, I'm probably going to lose, in fact, I'm certainly going to

0:28.4

lose in the league that meant the most to me. It's the Mark Stopa League, which has the most money

0:32.4

in it. I've won it twice before. I've made the playoffs all seven years, but I'm going to lose

0:37.3

in my first playoff game.

0:38.7

And fantasy is a bad beat for anybody who doesn't win their league.

It's hard to appreciate the journey when your goal is to try to go deeper to win, and you don't do that.

And there's just such a long process of the scouting and the NFL draft and the MFLs

0:53.8

and all the stuff that leads up to it.

0:56.2

And tomorrow, I have nobody to scout.

0:58.1

I have no fab to do.

having the glory that I'd hope to have.

There's just something specifically depressing about the elimination day, whether it's the actual

1:12.1

day that you're eliminated or the day after when it kind of hits you, that you devoted so

1:16.2

much of your blood, sweat, and tears to try to do something.

1:19.4

And here's the thing that I'll never be able to reconcile.

1:22.2

And maybe you guys can give me some peace of mind on this.

1:25.6

What is it about competitive endeavors that losing stings
