It's always dangerous territory to mess with a New England Patriots running back. LeGarrette Blount busted loose in his first 2014 game with the Pats in Week 12, scoring twice with 78 rushing yards. However, he slowed down to just 10 carries, 58 yards and no touchdowns in Week 13.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 14: LeGarrette Blount
The Patriots get the Chargers this week. Should fantasy owners use LeGarrette Blount with all the risk involved?

On the bright side, he looks to be the main back for the Patriots while Jonas Gray touched the ball just once in Week 13. For all we know, the Patriots could go back to Gray this week because they're coming off a loss. It's a total guessing game and something most fantasy owners shouldn't bother trying to solve.
The matchup isn't great against the San Diego Chargers this week. The Chargers are the 16th-best matchup against fantasy running backs, so the reward doesn't really outweigh the risk here.
Fantasy impact: There is really no way fantasy owners can trust Blount this week. He’s a low-end flex.
