Week 14 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: A.J. Green Will Flop vs. Texans

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wideout A.J. Green has had an impressive opening campaign, showing why he was selected No. 4 overall in the 2011 NFL draft.

But every rookie dips from time to time, and Green will struggle versus the Houston Texans in Week 14.

However, another rookie selected toward the end of the second round will have a big game after a couple of down weeks.

Here is your Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for Week 14.

Start 'Em: Torrey Smith, WR, Baltimore Ravens

Those who have followed my fantasy football commentary know I go gaga for Torrey Smith.

He was considered a border-line first-rounder in the NFL draft, but ended up slipping to the end of the second round.

But Smith is explosive and his speed can be devastating to NFL opponents. He's put up some huge numbers this season, including against the St. Louis Rams and Cincinnati Bengals. He racked up 152 receiving yards and three touchdowns versus the Rams and 165 yards and a touchdown against a good Bengals secondary.

Smith hasn't done much since his explosion against the Bengals in Week 11, but he faces a favorable matchup against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 14, who have given up the fifth-most fantasy points to receivers this season.

Every catch Smith makes has the potential of going the distance. He ranks third in the NFL in yards per catch this season.

Start Smith and watch him blow up against the Colts.

Sit 'Em: A.J. Green, WR, Cincinnati Bengals

A.J. Green is the best receiver of the class by far, and his production this season speaks for itself.

But the Texans defense has proven to be one of the top units in the league, allowing just 15.8 points per game this season, including holding the Atlanta Falcons to 10 points in Week 13.

The Texans are also giving up the eighth-fewest fantasy points to receivers this season.

In a big game with playoff implications, Green will fall short.
