NFL Survivor Week 14: Strategy Breakdown

Week 14 presents some limited options for many survivor entries. Tampa Bay is the most popular pick, and a lot of that is because they are the only team favored by five or more points currently available to the majority of entries.

These are our projections for availability in Week 1 start pools for the top seven teams by win odds:

• Tampa Bay – 75%
• LA Rams – 12%
• Denver – 7%
• Seattle – 15%
• Green Bay – 25%
• Buffalo – 11%
• Baltimore – 13%

So, on average, we would expect the Week 1 start entry to have fewer than one of these teams available. That will color our strategy and pick distributions, as we will cover in our Week 14 breakdown.
