Fantasy Football Week 14 Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em

Fantasy football sit-and-start advice should always be relative and league-dependent. Note that some players are targeted for DFS. Good luck with your Week 14 lineups!

Start: Dallas Goedert, Brandin Cooks

The Eagles have been struggling mightily running the ball and will have to throw plenty Sunday night in a matchup with this week’s highest total. Goedert had a full practice Thursday and is set to return after missing the last month. DeVonta Smith struggles against man coverage (67th in yards per route run), so expect a monster game from A.J. Brown and a solid performance from Goedert.

Cooks still isn’t seeing a big target share, but he’s scored in five of the last seven games. Dallas has gone pass-heavy and used far more motion since its bye, and the offense has benefitted greatly as a result. Cooks should be extra busy Sunday against an Eagles defense that’s stout against the run but allows by far the most fantasy points to wide receivers this season.

Start: James Cook, Rashee Rice

Cook saw his snap share dip before the bye, but he’s also averaged 22 opportunities over his last two games. The Bills get a Chiefs D this week that’s tough against the pass but has been arguably the worst run defense in the league over the last five weeks. In a fast-paced matchup with one of this week’s highest totals, Cook is a borderline top-12 RB.

Rice still isn’t being used as a full-time player, but he’s led Kansas City in targets each of the past two games. The rookie ranks top 15 in the league in target rate and top five in fantasy points per route run thanks to playing with Patrick Mahomes. And Rice is set to become a bigger part of the Chiefs offense down the stretch. Kansas City is at home Sunday with the fourth-highest implied team total on the slate, and Rice could be busy with Isiah Pacheco banged up and Travis Kelce showing his age.

Sit: Geno Smith

Start in DFS: Christian…
