  In his Week 14 "Start 'Em, Sit 'Em" analysis, Michael Fabiano notes the Jaguars defense "has allowed 13 total touchdowns and the third-most fantasy points to opposing running backs, and the Jets will need to run to find success this week." FULL START 'EM, SIT 'EM Impacts: Greene has been losing some carries to Bilal Powell in recent weeks, but he still makes a nice flex play given the matchup.

  In his Week 14 "Start 'Em, Sit 'Em" analysis, Michael Fabiano notes the Rams defense has "allowed the third-most total touchdowns and an average of close to 20 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs overall." FULL START 'EM, SIT 'EM Impacts: Spiller saw fewer touches than Fred Jackson last week against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but that was due to the wet weather conditions. Even if he does split carries, Spiller's explosiveness ranks him among the best starts at the position this week.

  In his Week 14 "Start 'Em, Sit 'Em" analysis, Michael Fabiano notes "Freeman is a terrific fantasy option this week, as he faces an Eagles defense that has allowed 25-plus fantasy points to quarterbacks in each of the last three weeks." FULL START 'EM, SIT 'EM Impacts: What's more, this defense has surrendered 15-plus fantasy points to field generals in each of their last seven games. Look for Freeman to join that list this week.

  In his "Quarterback Analysis," NFL.com's Gil Brandt notes, "When the Redskins visited the Dallas Cowboys over Thanksgiving, I talked to Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, who told me that after Griffin threw at his pro day, his biggest concern was that the Colts would change their mind and pick RG3 first overall in the draft rather than Luck." READ: QUARTERBACK ANALYSIS Impacts: RG3 might be forced to use his feet in the red zone this week when he squares off against the Baltimore Ravens defense. While the unit ranks 23rd overall against the pass, they've allowed an NFL-fewest 10 passing scores this season. The result could be an opportunity for some six-point plays for the rookie against a defense which has allowed 11 rushing touchdowns.

  In his "Quarterback Analysis," NFL.com's Gil Brandt notes, "The highly competitive Newton has a passion for the game. He needs to be in a program with a strong coach, but he can take a team to the Super Bowl. Newton has outstanding arm strength but tends to throw the ball high." READ: QUARTERBACK ANALYSIS Impacts: Newton had his second-best game of the season in his first matchup against the Falcons, racking up 31.20 fantasy points against them in Week 4. While he's had his rough patches, the quarterback is currently riding a hot streak, scoring no less than 29 points his last two outings.

  In his "Quarterback Analysis," NFL.com's Gil Brandt notes, "Wilson is an amazing player with great work habits. He is such a nice guy and works so hard, he's almost too good to be true; he's like a faster and more talented Doug Flutie." READ: QUARTERBACK ANALYSIS Impacts: Michael Fabiano adds in his Week 14 "Start 'Em, Sit 'Em" analysis, "He has scored 20-plus fantasy points in three of his last four games, one of which came against the Chicago Bears. Wilson has also put up 16-plus fantasy points in each of his last three games at home."

  Colin KaepernickSF - QB

  In his "Quarterback Analysis," NFL.com's Gil Brandt notes, "The extremely competitive Kaepernick has a very strong arm; at the 2011 NFL Scouting Combine, he threw the ball 59 mph, getting the most velocity on the ball. He can make the big throws but needs to learn to play under control." READ: QUARTERBACK ANALYSIS Impacts: Michael Fabiano adds in his Week 14 "Start 'Em, Sit 'Em" analysis, the Dolphins have "allowed the fifth-most passing yards and an average of just under 17 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. That makes the Nevada product a viable sleeper pick."

  In his "Quarterback Analysis," NFL.com's Gil Brandt notes, "Dalton doesn't have a great arm, but he's very smart and disciplined. He's got a quick release, good accuracy and can make big plays when needed. He took the Bengals to the playoffs in 2011 with an average supporting cast, and has big-game experience." READ: QUARTERBACK ANALYSIS Impacts: After scoring no less than 20 fantasy points his previous three games, Dalton struggled against the Chargers last week, scoring 14.94 points. He will face another test this week against the Cowboys 10th ranked pass defense.
