Do you have tough lineup decisions to make Sunday? I’ve got you covered.
Welcome to your one-stop shop for Week 14 fantasy football start/sit advice. In this article, I’ll highlight one pick from each of my positional start ’em, sit ’em articles for this week’s slate. Check out each article for a deeper dive into that position!
Running Back
Start ‘Em: Tony Pollard (Titans) vs. Jaguars
The last four weeks haven’t been incredibly kind to Pollard from a production standpoint. Game script has taken him out of the equation in three of those contests, with him combining for just 26 carries over said matchups.
However, he did take 24 carries for 119 yards and a touchdown two weeks ago against Houston, proving the high ceiling is still there. I expect to see production on a somewhat similar level against the Jaguars, who allow the second-most fantasy points to running backs.
Fire Pollard up as a high-end RB2.

Wide Receiver
Sit ‘Em: Brian Thomas Jr. (Jaguars) at Titans
The man has Mac Jones as his quarterback for the forseeable future. Need I say more?
(Sorry Mac, it’s nothing personal).
Thomas actually put up 18.7 PPR points against the Texans, but that was thanks to a very late touchdown. The unfortunate reality for everyone in Jacksonville’s offense is that they are going to struggle to move the ball. Thomas is an undeniably talented player, but he should be left on your bench against the Titans, who allow the seventh-fewest fantasy point to receivers.

Tight End
Start ‘Em: Cade Otton (Buccaneers) vs. Raiders
Otton has scored fewer than 10 points in three straight contests. There are plenty of reasons for concern about starting him in what could be a must-win fantasy matchup.
That said, if you’re willing to take the risk, I believe you’ll be rewarded. Otton saw his role in the offense ramp back up last week after receiving a target downgrade with Mike Evans back in the equation. The production wasn’t there, but seven targets with a 94% snap share is noteworthy.
The Raiders allow the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends, opening up an enticing opportunity for Otton to snap out of this slump.
