Week 14 is upon us — typically the final week to make the playoffs in fantasy football. We have six teams on hiatus once again after a full slate a week ago, so the pool is thinner than usual, leaving us with a few recommendations who would lean closer to sleeper territory most weeks.
You will have to make do with my advice for Week 14. I’m filling in for Daniel Dobish, who under the weather, so we wish him a speedy recovery and hope he’s back in the saddle for the first round of the fantasy playoffs.
Doing start/sit articles can be a little challenging. The players featured on the list below should not be taken as “must starts” or “must sits.” Instead, these are more suggestions on what we believe managers should do with fringe players heading into the weekend. The choice is ultimately up to the manager.
Just because a player is listed as a “start” doesn’t mean he should be put in the lineup over the secure, bona fide studs. Vice versa for the “sits.” If there’s no better option on the waiver wire or the bench, a manager shouldn’t automatically sit the player. That’s why these can be tricky waters to navigate.
