The fantasy football Week 14 schedule is here and some sleepers and starter options include Darren Sproles, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Spencer Ware, DeVante Parker, James Starks, Tyler Lockett, Zach Miller and Tim Hightower for the playoffs.

The fantasy playoffs are here for most leagues and that makes start-sit decisions very important as team owners try and advance. The Eagles running back situation has been fluid this season and after some issues with DeMarco Murray, Darren Sproles could be a solid option this week. Ryan Mathews is coming back from a concussion and Sproles could see increased work alongside Murray. Austin Seferian-Jenkins returned for the Bucs last week, while DeVante Parker and Zach Miller have been stepping up over the last few games.

Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West are splitting carries with the Chiefs, but both players could get touches on Sunday as solid fantasy options. Tyler Lockett and James Starks are also solid sleeper options for the Seahawks and Packers this week. Sproles comes in after putting up strong numbers against the Patriots last week, rushing for 66 yards on 15 carries and adding a punt return for a touchdown. Sproles is also a great PPR league option, as he has 40 catches for 292 yards this season.

Jenkins was limited in his return for the Buccaneers last week, but he is expected to get a boost this week after playing 21 of 71 snaps. Jenkins had six targets in the game and that was second on the team and he nearly had a touchdown, but he dropped the ball and he could be a good red zone option for the Bucs this week. With some fantasy owners dealing with Rob Gronkowski's injury, Jenkins and Scott Chandler could be good options to plug in.

Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West are expected to rotate for the Chiefs and Ware could be a solid pick after how he has played the past few games. Ware has found the endzone four times in the past three games and he could be the better goal line option over West, making him a solid fantasy start pick this week. Parker has stepped up for the Dolphins the past couple weeks with Rishard Matthews and Kenny Stills dealing with injuries, combining for seven catches and two touchdowns in the past two games.

Eddie Lacy has been in and out of the Packers dog house this season and that could give Starks a chance to step up again. Starks did not do much last week, but in a big game with the Cowboys this weekend he could get the majority of carries. Tyler Lockett is a solid sleeper and he comes in after putting up seven catches for 90 yards last week for Seattle. Miller has been getting some work with Martellus Bennett dealing with some injuries and he could be a good option this week. Tim Hightower is expected to get work with Mark Ingram out for the season for the Saints.
