As Week 14 of the NFL season approaches, fantasy football players are looking for advice on which players to start and sit. Based on the analysis of several sports journalists, here are some recommendations.
For defenses, the Texans and Colts are suggested as strong starts due to favorable matchups. On the other hand, the Cowboys, Eagles, Chiefs, and Bills defenses are advised to be benched. The high sack rate of the Giants' quarterback and the interception-prone Patriots are also noted.
In the running backs category, specific recommendations are not provided, but players are advised to consider those who will be missing due to bye weeks or injuries.
For quarterbacks, Justin Fields, Gardner Minshew, and Jordan Love are recommended as starts. Conversely, C.J. Stroud, Jake Browning, and Geno Smith are advised to be sat. Minshew is highlighted as a top option due to the Bengals' weak pass defense.
In addition to these specific player recommendations, Austin Ekeler is noted for his potential for a big game against the Denver Broncos, and Justin Fields is recognized for his strong performance against the Detroit Lions.
For those participating in daily fantasy sports (DFS), Vinnie Iyer provides additional picks, although specific players are not mentioned in the summary.
These recommendations are based on the analysis of the players' recent performances and their potential in the upcoming games. However, as with any sports predictions, they are not guaranteed and should be used as guidance rather than definitive instructions.
