It's Week 14 of the 2017 NFL season. The end is in sight. And as the postseason draws near, a few teams are starting to separate themselves from the pack.
One thing those contenders generally have in common is individual stars who come up big in the season's most important games.
And in fantasy football, those big individual performances are the key to success. This week's top performers, as well as scores and playoff standings, can be found below.
