The fantasy football schedule is into Week 14 and some start or sit options coming into the weekend include players like Jeremy Hill, Tre Mason, Dan Herron, Kendall Wright, Jarvis Landry, Terrance West, Coby Fleener, Mark Ingram, Andre Ellington, Marion Grice, Doug Martin and Jordan Matthews, as those names have the chance to step up for fantasy owners in the playoffs.
The Colts have been dealing with injuries and they have Dan Herron and Trent Richardson as the top running backs with Ahmad Bradshaw out and they will see increased carries. Tre Mason has been having a fine season for the Rams and he went over 100 yards on Sunday and scored three touchdowns against the Raiders in the St. Louis blowout. Marion Grice could get the start if Andre Ellington is out for the Cardinals and that is one situation to keep an eye out for on Sunday.
Larry Fitzgerald was back at practice on Wednesday and that is a good sign and could mean he returns on Sunday for Week 14. Fitzgerald comes in after dealing with a knee issue and as long as it holds up, he should play. Fitzgerald has 46 catches this season for 658 yards and two TDs in 10 games.
Mark Ingram has played well this season for the Saints and he has continued to be the most effective running back for New Orleans. The team has dealt with injuries to Pierre Thomas and Khiry Robinson and while Thomas has returned, Ingram has been firmly planted as the top back. Ingram had 122 yards last week and had 23 carries against the Steelers and with Drew Brees having an up and down season, the running game has been more and more important for the team.
Ingram has had double digit carries in every game since coming back from an injury in Week 7 and he has been very consistent, rushing for at least 100 yards four times in that span. This season Ingram has 767 yards rushing and six touchdowns and he is a sstart rotrong option to start down the stretch in the playoffs. Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard have continued to split carries and while Bernard has been the lead back, Hill has done his part as well. Hill has 683 yards on the season and he has also been involved in the passing game, making 21 catches for 180 yards.
Terrance West is a solid option to start this week, as Isaiah Crowell is dealing with an injury and after the way the Browns played last week, they likely will be rushing the ball quite a bit. West has shown that he can handle the load as the lead running back and if Crowell is limited he likely will lead the dup in touches. Dan Herron and Trent Richardson are solid options to start as well with Ahmad Bradshaw on the sidelines and both players could put up solid numbers against Cleveland.
Andre Ellington could be out or limited for the Arizona Cardinals this weekend and that makes Marion Grice and option for fantasy owners if he can't play. Last week Ellington came down with a hip injury and with a Thursday night game next week, the Cardinals are likely to be cautious with him.
