5 Stars Who Belong On Your Fantasy Football Bench In Week 14

There are some big names on this list, so let me perfectly clear. I don't expect the skill position players to break double-digits, nor the lone quarterback to top 15 points. In deeper leagues, a few of these guys are worth a start, but the majority of teams have better options than these guys.

After a few monster weeks, Evans has cooled off in his last two games, failing to crack 50 yards in either contest. This week he shouldn't be trusted on the road against a tough Detroit Lions' defense.

The emergence of C.J. Anderson and possible return of Julius Thomas limits Sanders' upside moving forward. The fact that the Buffalo Bills have one of the league's best pass defenses also doesn't bode well for him.

Big Ben may think Le'Veon Bell gets the ball too much, but Mike Tomlin doesn't feel that way. I'm betting on the coach to get his way on this one, especially in a matchup with a Cincinnati Bengals' defense that is much more fantasy friendly to opposing runners than passers.

2. RB LeSean McCoy

McCoy has looked good in his past two games, but that was against the Tennessee Titans' league worst run defense and the Dallas Cowboys, who also struggle against the run. This week, McCoy gets a Seattle Seahawks' D that ranks No. 5 in rushing yards allowed and has surrendered just six total points in the last two games.

Charles is dealing with a bruised knee this week, and he's not even guaranteed to start at this point. If he does play, it will be against a tough Arizona Cardinals' run defense that ranks No. 6 in the league. If Charles isn't 100 percent, it would be surprising if the Chiefs risk further injury with a full load while a quality backup like Knile Davis is on the bench.
