Dec 05, 2014 03:01 PM EST

The fantasy football playoffs are here for many owners and some start or sit options for Week 14 include players like Demaryius Thomas, Rashad Jennings, Arian Foster, Latavius Murray, Roddy White, TY Hilton, Mark Ingram, Adrian Peterson, Marion Grice, Terrance West, Jerick McKinnon, Matt Asiata, Andre Williams, Odell Beckham, Jeremy Hill, Larry Fitzgerald and Charles Johnson, as some of those names are dealing with injuries and other have great matchups.

This week is huge for a ton of fantasy owners and some players are coming in banged up, including Thomas, Fitzgerald as well as Jennings, Murray and Roddy White and the status of those players could be up in the air on Sunday. Fitzgerald missed last week and he could be out again and if he is, owners should look at starting John Brown and Michael Floyd to get a boost. Rashad Jennings has been dealing with injuries and while he is still looking to play Sunday, there is a chance he could get held out. The Giants would turn to Andre Williams and he is a decent option for fantasy owners in deeper leagues with Jennings.

Thomas has been one of the best players in the league this season and he is dealing with an ankle injury and could be limited or out this week. Thomas had his ankle stepped on in the last game and was out of practice on Thursday, but Jon Fox said he would play against the Bills. Thomas has been exceptional with 88 catches for 1,255 yards and 10 touchdowns this season and if he is out, Emmanuel Sanders gets a major boost.

Jennings is coming in after dealing with a knee injury and if he is out, Andre Williams will get the start. Jennings has dealt with numerous injuries this season and with Tom Coughlin unsure if he will play Sunday, fantasy owners should be cautious. Jennings has been solid when he has played, but it's only been in eight games and he comes in with nearly 600 yards in that span. Williams and Odell Beckham are the best Giants fantasy options this weekend.

Marion Grice, Terrance West, Matt Asiata and Arian Foster are names to watch as well, as some of those players could get massive boosts Sunday. West and Asiata likely will get the bulk of the carries for their teams with backups injured, while Grice is likely to start if Andre Ellington is held out. All reports have the Cardinals being cautious and that could mean a strong day from Grice. Latavius Murray comes in after dealing with a head injury and Pro Football Talk reports that the Raiders are planning to use him quite a bit down the stretch to see what they have in him.

Roddy White and TY Hilton come in dealing with injuries and both are expected to play on Sunday. White has been dealing with an ankle problem, while Hilton had a hamstring issue and he is looking to play after missing time this season. White has been playing very well this year and he has 56 catches for 662 yards this season.
