Fantasy football advice, Week 14: Who to start/sit for Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns

The playoffs continue on Sunday for many fantasy leagues, and those owners don’t have any more room for error. Luckily, fantasy owners will have more than a few options to choose from in a showdown between two AFC North foes. Let’s take a look:

Jeremy Hill is the next running back that gets to face a Browns defense that has allowed over 100 rushing yards in seven consecutive games. With the backfield all to himself, and also likely to benefit from a run-heavy game script, there are few running backs with better scenarios to thrive in Week 14 than Hill. He is a fringe RB1/RB2 for Sunday. Tyler Eifert can resume his usual post in fantasy lineups as a TE1 with A.J. Green out of action.

Though Joe Haden will be looming for Brandon LaFell and Tyler Boyd, each presents a high floor against a defense that hasn’t stopped anyone in 2016. LaFell is the more attractive option due to his touchdown upside, but Boyd’s 23 targets over his last three games makes him a worthy PPR flex.

Even against the Browns, fantasy owners can rely on better quarterback options than an A.J. Green-less Andy Dalton. Though Dalton is coming off his best game of the season against a listless Eagles defense, fantasy owners can likely find more reliable options with better upside.

Robert Griffin III is back under center for Week 14, but that doesn’t mean there’s much reason for optimism. Griffin hasn’t resembled a playmaking quarterback since his rookie season in 2012, and outside of garbage time, there’s little reason to expect him to propel the offense to lofty fantasy heights. Despite the negative outlook, Terrelle Pryor and Corey Coleman are worthy flex options in what could turn into a high-volume passing affair. Pryor and Coleman have each proven that they can do great things with the right opportunities.

Gary Barnidge and the backfield tandem of Duke Johnson and Isaiah Crowell haven’t provided the boon to fantasy lineups that owners have wanted, and there’s no reason to expect a bounce back in Week 14.
