The fantasy football playoffs are here for some leagues in Week 14 and some sleeper options and starters to pick include Darren Sproles, Scott Chandler, James White, DeVante Parker, David Johnson, Richard Rodgers, Bilal Powell, Allen Hurns, Buck Allen and Spencer Ware for team owners.
The playoffs are always tough in fantasy and owners will not want to have big production left on the bench during the most important matchups of the season. Darren Sproles could be a strong option after getting a nice amount of touches last week for the Eagles, as DeMarco Murray has been bumped down a bit by Chip Kelly. Sproles comes in after putting up 100 total yards against the Patriots and he also came up big with a punt return touchdown. Ryan Mathews is expected to be back from a concussion, but Sproles should be a good option for this week.
David Johnson got the start last week for the Cardinals and he could be a good option again this weekend. Johnson is coming in with Chris Johnson and Andre Ellington both banged up and he has a high upside for fantasy owners. Johnson had 120 total yards for the Cardinals against the Rams and he also added a touchdown. Johnson has five TDs in 12 games this season and over his last three games he has three TDs and is a hot pick coming up for Week 14.
The Chiefs have Charcandrick West coming back and that could take some carries away from Spencer Ware. Fantasy owners in need of an injury replacement or a flex option should look at West or Ware, as both players got touches last week for the Chiefs. West had more than Ware and the two should continue to split carries for Kansas City. Richard Rodgers had the great Hail Mary catch for the Packers and he also had a big game overall with eight catches for 146 yards. The Packers have the Cowboys this week and Rodgers could be a nice fantasy start option.
Buck Allen has come in for Justin Forsett with the running back out for the year and he could be a good sleeper this week at RB. Allen comes in after putting up 170 total yards and a touchdown for the Ravens and he had 63 yards rushing on 17 carries. Allen had 12 catches on 13 targets and with the Ravens also without Joe Flacco, expect Allen to be a nice safety valve in the passing game. Powell also was a good receiver out of the backfield for the Jets last week, making eight catches for 91 yards and also adding a touchdown.
Scott Chandler has stepped in for Rob Gronkowski and he could be a nice starting option again this week for the Pats. Chandler had four catches for 61 yards and a touchdown against the Eagles and he should continue getting targets this week. James white also had a strong game last week, putting up nearly 120 total yards, including 10 catches for 115 yards and a TD. DeVante Parker has taken advantage of injuries for the Dolphins and he now has two TD catches in the past two games and is a sleeper this week.
