Week 14 The True GURU Picks & Sleepers In Review

Week 14 was another solid week for us. In the end we finished at 64% for a success rate, which for the kind of week it was not bad. We did do poorly in WRs and TEs AGAIN, but again we found great success with QBs, RBs, and defense.

Since we are calling games on Wed we don't always know all the injuries. We will try to put a check injury status next to possibly hurt players. Others we just won't call for the week since its too up in the air. Sometimes we may not know for sure if a QB will start.

Our sleepers were very good this week with 5 successful calls out of only 9. We were thrilled with Reggie Williams and the New Orleans defense.

Here is a rundown for week 14 with all the numbers:

QB's 16/22 Correct ( 73%)
RB's 19/26 Correct (73%)
WR's 24/42 Correct ( 57%)
TE's 10/20 Correct (50%)
DEF's 19/27 Correct (70%)

OVERALL THIS WEEK: 88/137 Correct (64%) Last week 89/138 Correct (65%) "Start at your own risk "calls or players that did not play due to injuries were not counted.

Here is the review of our picks and how they stacked up:
