Fantasy Football team of the week: NFL 2023 Week 14

The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Los Angeles Rams, while the San Francisco 49ers emerged victorious against the Seattle Seahawks. The two standout players on the field were Lamar Jackson and Deebo Samuel.

Lamar Jackson

Quarterback Lamar Jackson put forward an impressive performance, again making a strong case for the MVP title. He threw for 316 yards, scoring three touchdowns, and ran for an additional 70 yards. Despite challenging weather conditions, Jackson was in complete control of the offense, leading key plays throughout the game.

The game’s turning point came during the final moments of regulation when Jackson led a crucial 13-play, 75-yard touchdown drive, concluding with a 21-yard touchdown pass to Z Flowers on third and 17. Head Coach John Harbaugh praised Jackson’s MVP-worthy performance, noting his pocket awareness, mobility, and the outstanding work of the offensive line.

Reflecting on Lamar Jackson’s season, it’s arguable that this year’s performances surpass even his unanimous MVP season in 2019. While acknowledging tough competition for the MVP award from standout players like Brock Pie, Dak Prescott, Jaylen Hurts, and Tua Tagovailoa, it’s essential to emphasize Jackson’s consistent merit to the Ravens week in and week out.

Deebo Samuel

Deebo Samuel has an impressive record of 40 catches for 642 yards and 6 touchdowns in 6 games against the Seahawks throughout his career. In the 49ers’ recent game against the Seahawks, he once again showcased his phenomenal individual efforts that contributed to the final score and the team’s victory.

During the game, Samuel made 7 receptions and totaled 149 receiving yards with an outstanding 21.3 yards per catch. In addition, he scored a touchdown through the air and demonstrated his versatility by recording one rushing attempt, gaining 1 yard, and scoring another touchdown on the ground.

This game was a standout performance for Deebo Samuel, highlighting his dynamic skills and ability to contribute both as a receiver and a rusher.
