Start 'Em: QB - Blake Bortles - Jacksonville Jaguars (vs IND)
Evan Habeeb-USA TODAY SportsSleepers: Ryan Fitzpatrick (vs. TEN), Jameis Winston (vs. NO)
Blake Bortles cut the Tennessee Titans to ribbons in Week 13, tallying 322 yards and five TDs. Bortles draws another favorable matchup with the Indianapolis Colts this weekend, and should have no issue throwing for 300 yards and three TDs. He must be started in all formats.
Sleepers: Ryan Fitzpatrick (vs. TEN), Jameis Winston (vs. NO)
Sit 'Em: QB - Matt Ryan - Atlanta Falcons (@ CAR)
Jason Getz-USA TODAY Sports
Others to Avoid: Johnny Manziel (vs. SF), Brian Hoyer (vs. NE)
Stay far away from Matt Ryan again in Week 14, as he has an absolutely horrible matchup on the road against the Carolina Panthers' seemingly impregnable defense. Ryan tallied 269 yards with one TD (one INT) in Week 13 against Tampa Bay, and likely will fail to reach that substandard statline on Sunday.
Others to Avoid: Johnny Manziel (vs. SF), Brian Hoyer (vs. NE)
Start 'Em: RB - David Johnson - Arizona Cardinals (vs MIN)
Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY SportsSleepers: Shaun Draughn (@CLE), Ronnie Hillman (vs. OAK)
David Johnson came through as expected in Week 13, tallying 120 total yards and one TD. Despite a tough matchup with Minnesota's stout defense, Johnson projects to finish with a similar statline due to his prowess for production in the pass attack. Fire up Johnson confidently.
Sleepers: Shaun Draughn (@CLE), Ronnie Hillman (vs. OAK)
Sit 'Em: RB - Javorius Allen - Baltimore Ravens (vs SEA)
Andrew Innerarity-USA TODAY SportsOthers to Avoid: LeSean McCoy (@PHI), Tevin Coleman (@CAR)
Javorius 'Buck' Allen exploded against Miami in Week 13, but don't expect him to replicate the performance against the Seattle Seahawks' overwhelming defense this weekend. Seattle's ranked first against running backs in fantasy, and just rendered Adrian Peterson irrelevant in Week 13. Although Allen with receive a ton of touches, you're best served by sitting him in what can only be described as a daunting matchup.

Start 'Em: WR - Danny Amendola - New England Patriots (@HOU)
Mark L. Baer-USA TODAY SportsSleepers: Malcom Floyd (@KC), Marvin Jones (vs. PIT)
Danny Amendola was excellent for the New England Patriots in Week 13, tallying seven receptions for 62 yards and one TD against Philadelphia. Amendola is currently listed as questionable for Week 14 action, but that was the case last week as well, so don't let it assuage your temptation for firing him up against Houston on Sunday. Amendola should have no trouble finishing with a similar statline.
Sleepers: Malcom Floyd (@KC), Marvin Jones (vs. PIT)
Sit 'Em: WR - Golden Tate - Detroit Lions (@STL)
Tim Fuller-USA TODAY SportsOthers to Avoid: Kamar Aiken (vs. SEA), Torrey Smith (@CLE)
Golden Tate has limited upside during the fantasy football playoffs, and draws a terrible matchup against the St. Louis Rams in Week 14. Stay away, as he's not even worth a start in a flex spot with your season on the line.

Start 'Em: TE - Delanie Walker - Tennessee Titans (@NYJ)

The New York Jets are ranked second against tight ends in fantasy football, which has led many to assume they should fade Tennessee Titans TE Delanie Walker in Week 14. The truth is, the Jets impressive ranking is irrelevant, as with the exception of the New England Patriots, the Jets haven't faced a team that features the position like the Titans do. Fire up Walker expecting over 100 yards and one TD despite the seemingly impossible matchup.
Sleepers: Brent Celek (vs. BUF), Richard Rodgers (vs. DAL)
Sit 'Em: TE - Vernon Davis - Denver Broncos (vs OAK)
Getty ImagesOthers to Avoid: Jason Witten (@GB), Julius Thomas (vs. IND)
Vernon Davis is in concussion protocol currently, but reports indicate he will play against Oakland this weekend. Davis' upside is limited to begin with in Denver's offense, so he must be faded even if healthy.

Start 'Em: DST - Philadelphia Eagles (vs BUF)
Eric Hartline-USA TODAY SportsSleepers: Kansas City Chiefs (vs. SD), Detroit Lions (@STL)
The Philadelphia Eagles DST scored in upward of 25 fantasy points in some formats in Week 13 thanks to an impressive punt return from Darren Sproles, and a plethora of turnovers created. In Week 14 at home against Buffalo, this unit undoubtedly carries over 15 fantasy point upside -- don't miss out.
Sleepers: Kansas City Chiefs (vs. SD), Detroit Lions (@STL)
Sit 'Em: DST - Denver Broncos (vs OAK)
Jake Roth-USA TODAY SportsOthers to Avoid: Cincinnati Bengals (vs. PIT), St. Louis Rams (vs. DET)
The Denver Broncos have showcased an impregnable defense this season, and their DST has been the highest scoring in the NFL in many formats. However, I'm here to tell you today you should temper expectations in Week 14 against the Oakland Raiders, whose season is on the line. Derek Carr is going to put up points in a matchup that will be much closer than the masses realize. Stay away.
Others to Avoid: Cincinnati Bengals (vs. PIT), St. Louis Rams (vs. DET)
