Every week, Mike Mital is responsible for telling fantasy football owners around the world who to sit and who to start. This is not your grandpa’s ordinary, boring start em sit em list–this is bold! You’ve been warned…
The featured start ’em sit ’em players from two weeks back were misses, but last week we got right back on track with a mediocre performance from Dak Prescott and an above average performance from DeAndre Hopkins. Let’s light that fire again and continue yet another hot streak this week.
Week 14 Start em
Jameis Winston – TB QB
Winston has played well this season, elevating his play significantly from his rookie campaign. The emergence of Mike Evans as an elite big play receiver and tight end Cameron Brate as a trusty red zone target has given Winston the weapons to succeed.
He is coming off three mediocre games against above average defenses that has limited his production as of late. That all changes this week as the Famous Jameis gets a cupcake matchup against a Saints defense that has been the laughing stock of the league. Look for Winston to get back on track in a big way at home as he should put up big numbers in a shootout with Brees.

Week 14 Sit em
Devontae Booker – Den RB
With a season-ending injury to backup running back Kapri Bibbs, the door seemed to open for Booker to command all the touches he can handle. That was the case until the Broncos picked up journeyman Justin Forsett who was recently released from the Lions. Forsett’s knowledge of the Gary Kubiak offense will allow him to adapt to game plan quickly and potentially eat into Booker’s carries. Against a tough Tennessee run defense, Booker is not someone you want to trust in the early rounds of the playoffs.
