It’s Ride-or-Die Week, and LaQuan Jones and Matt Okada are here to get you ready for the most crucial fantasy matchup of the season. In this Week 14 breakdown, we dive into everything you need to know before locking in your lineups — from unpredictable passing attacks to sneaky RB plays and must-make Start/Sit decisions.
LaQuan and Okada cover:
Why the passing attacks for the Packers, Bears, Jaguars, and Broncos may be too diversified to trust
How Chase Brown (and maybe a sneaky Samaje Perine) could run wild on Buffalo
The rollercoaster that is Jordan Love — a start, then a sit, then maybe back to a start
Key player reads: Terry McLaurin, Rico Dowdle vs Chuba Hubbard, Evan Engram, and Darren Waller rest-of-season outlook
Whether Justin Herbert is worth starting this week
And our signature “This or That: Week 14 Ride or Die” segment — breaking down matchups like Sam Darnold vs Daniel Jones, Jaylen Waddle vs Chris Olave, Ashton Jeanty vs Saquon Barkley, and more
Whether you’re making a playoff push or just trying to avoid punishment week, LaQuan and Okada bring the insight (and the chaos) you need to win.

In this Week 12 episode, LaQuan Jones and Matt Okada dive deep into the chaos of the fantasy season and ask the question every manager is facing right now: Who actually deserves to stay on your roster?
Okada kicks things off with his Need-to-Know for Week 12, including why Zay Flowers is primed to pop down the stretch, and how Trevor Lawrence and J.J. McCarthy have turned into full-blown fantasy killers. We also pump the brakes on the wideout once destined for stardom, as the Emeka Egbuka hype train quietly skids off the tracks.

In this podcast, Garrett Williams, a veteran Texans reporter, discusses the team’s offense under new coordinator Nick Caley, noting progress despite early struggles in camp. C.J. Stroud and Nico Collins lead a revamped receiver room, with Christian Kirk who could be a fantasy sleeper. The offensive line, weakened by Laremy Tunsil’s trade, faces challenges in pass protection and run-blocking. Joe Mixon’s ankle injury raises fantasy concerns, but Williams suggests he’s a value pick if healthy, while rookie Woody Marks shows promise as a pass-catching back but remains behind Nick Chubb in the depth chart. The Texans aim to build on their playoff streak, with the offense’s success hinging on line improvements and Mixon’s recovery.
