Week 14 Start 'Em Sit 'Em: Plaxico Burress and More Questionable Starts

Since it's playoff time, every decision made about your fantasy football lineup is extremely crucial. Trying to figure out which guys to start is often very frustrating, but it pays off big time if you're right. 

Choosing who to have in your starting lineup can be like deciding which flavor of ice cream to eat. There are tons of options, and sometimes, you end up with a bad taste in your mouth. 

With that said, here are three questionable players for Week 14 and whether you should sit or start them.

As always, if you have any questions regarding you lineup, feel free to leave a comment and we'll help you out. 

Plaxico Burress, WR 

These past few weeks have been rough for Burress, but since he is a serious red zone target, he falls into the category of questionable start every week.

The New York Jets will host the depleted Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, which should be an easy victory for Rex Ryan and company.

As for Burress, he has five touchdown catches in his last three home games, which bodes well for Sunday's action. Santonio Holmes may get more targets thrown his way, but Burress isn't far behind him, and he'll come through in Week 14. 

Verdict: Start

Roy Helu, RB

The Washington Redskins have had several ups and downs this season, and head coach Mike Shanahan has constantly played musical chairs with his running backs. 

The past two weeks, however, he's stuck with Helu, who recorded 100 or more rushing yards in two straight weeks. 

He seems like a must start now, but you never really know with him. Chances are, if you have Helu on your team, you desperately need him because other running backs have hurt you. 

For Week 14, Helu will challenge the New England Patriots No. 10 run defense, and he won't dominate like the last two weeks. Shanahan will focus on the passing game more, limiting Helu's carries because the Patriots secondary is so weak. 

Verdict: Sit 

Anquan Boldin, WR

The Baltimore Ravens top wideout has become a staple on my questionable starts list, and that's because he's not a home-run hitter in fantasy land. 

Boldin has only three touchdowns on the year, and the emergence of Torrey Smith has had a great impact on his numbers.

On Sunday, the Ravens will host the winless Indianapolis Colts, who happen to struggle all over the place. They rank 22nd in the NFL against the pass and 30th against the run, so the Ravens should have a solid offensive performance.

The question is whether or not Boldin will be joining in on any of the fun. Despite back-to-back awful weeks, Boldin was still targeted the most by Joe Flacco, and that's not going to change on Sunday. This week, he finally rights the ship and delivers a great showing for the home crowd and his fantasy owners. 

Verdict: Start

Other questionable players you should start this week are wide receivers Eric Decker of the Denver Broncos, Mike Williams of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Steve Johnson of the Buffalo Bills. Also, start running backs Mark Ingram of the New Orleans Saints and Marion Barber of the Chicago Bears. 

Some players you should sit this week are running backs Peyton Hillis of the Cleveland Browns, DeAngelo Williams of the Carolina Panthers and C.J. Spiller of the Bills. Also, sit wide receivers Nate Washington of the Tennessee Titans, Pierre Garcon of the Colts and Johnny Knox of the Bears.
