Roster management is the single most crucial in-season task for fantasy football managers. Knowing which players to let go is as important as adding the right guys.
Which quarterbacks find themselves on our Week 14 fantasy football cut list based on roster percentages from Yahoo? We take a closer look below.
If you’re looking for all other positions, head over to our Week 14 Fantasy Cut List, which covers quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end.
Trevor Lawrence, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars (36%)
Making his return after a two-game absence, Trevor Lawrence was not playing particularly well before his day ended early with just 41 passing yards after he was the victim of a dirty hit.
Lawrence immediately went to the locker room where he was diagnosed with a concussion. He was already playing through a significant left shoulder injury that realistically could have ended his season.
Now almost certain to miss more time, and with the Jacksonville Jaguars out of playoff contention, it seems unlikely Lawrence will play again this year.
Kirk Cousins, QB, Atlanta Falcons (59%)
Overall, it’s been a very impressive rebound for Kirk Cousins coming off a torn Achilles. Yet, he entered Week 13 averaging a career-low 15.2 fantasy points per game. The reality is it’s been so much worse.
Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cousins has posted games of 35.36 and 28.64 fantasy points. Thus, against Tampa Bay, he’s the best fantasy QB in history.
Against everyone else, though, Cousins was averaging 11.4 fantasy ppg. That’s even lower after his complete meltdown against the Los Angeles Chargers, throwing more touchdowns to the other team than his own. When he’s not facing the Bucs, he’s the worst quarterback in fantasy. The Bucs are not on the schedule anymore. Drop Cousins.
C.J. Stroud, QB, Houston Texans (95%)
Words cannot describe how floored I was to find out C.J. Stroud is rostered in 95% of Yahoo leagues. I understand he had one of the greatest rookie seasons of all time, but this is not 2023 anymore.
We are through 13 weeks of the season and Stroud has one game with more than 20 fantasy points. The Texans are on bye in Week 14, meaning Stroud can’t help (or hurt) you next week.
If you hold onto him, Stroud can give you three more starts against each of the Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs, and Baltimore Ravens. That Ravens matchup is juicy, but you have to get there first. Plus, he just had a juicy matchup against the Jaguars and completely flopped. There’s just no reason to expect a turnaround at this point.
Matthew Stafford, QB, Los Angeles Rams (64%)
With Matthew Stafford, it all comes down to how the Los Angeles Rams score their touchdowns. Against the New Orleans Saints this week, Stafford actually threw two of them. Yet, he still didn’t reach 16 fantasy points. That’s what happens when a quarterback offers nothing on the ground.
Each of Stafford’s four remaining matchups is against a defense that ranks top 10 against the pass. You can start him if you need to, but you also don’t need to hold onto him if you’re not using him.
