Fantasy Football Start/Sit: Jacoby Brissett is Start of the Week

It's the final week of the regular season for most fantasy leagues, and many of you are playing something meaningful during this high-scoring period, which is exciting. Perhaps you're fighting for the last playoff spot or trying to secure a first-round bye.

There's a lot at stake, and what happens in Week 14 could determine your fantasy championship aspirations. It's too bad we don't have players from San Francisco, New England, Carolina and the Giants since those four teams have byes. And we're dealing with several injuries that could impact the lineups, notably Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle), Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) and Aaron Jones (shoulder), as well as several key players already out.

You may be trying to fill a few holes in your lineup. And you're looking for help, that's why you're here. You need some kind of guidance to ensure victory.

Now, as we know, in this game, especially this season, there are no guarantees. And no one really has a script for what will happen in week 14. But we will do our best to help and there will be a lot of interesting matches this week.

So let's start with the starts and sits needed to create optimal lineups. We wish you good luck in your matches in week 14.

Buccaneers (vs. NO)

Tampa Bay's defense was stunning in Week 8 in New Orleans, with five sacks, two interceptions, two fumble recoveries and just three allowed scores and a touchdown. That bodes well for the rematch at home, and the Saints have lost seven games in a row. New Orleans has also allowed nine sacks in their last two games against Atlanta and Miami, and Tyler Shaw also has an interception in each of his last two games. The Buccaneers DST has the potential to move into the top five in Week 14.

Ravens (vs. PIT)
Dolphins (in New York)
Commanders (in MIN)

Chargers (vs. PHI)

The Chargers DST had a good showing in Week 13 against Las Vegas with five sacks, an interception and just 14 pass breakups, but it was a poor matchup against the Eagles in Week 14. Jalen Hurts has been sacked only twice in the last four games, and Philadelphia has just eight turnovers on the season (two interceptions). I wouldn't trust the Chargers DST in this matchup.
