Who should I start for Week 14? Fantasy football outlooks for Travis Etienne Jr., Tank Bigsby, Jerome Ford. Our expert fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks.
Welcome to Week 14, where running back decisions can be pivotal with six teams on bye.
Travis Etienne Jr., Tank Bigsby, and Jerome Ford each face unique situations that influence their fantasy value this week.
Let's evaluate whether they should be in your starting lineup as we head into Week 14.
Should I Start Travis Etienne Jr. for Fantasy Football?
It has been a rough stretch for Travis Etienne Jr., who has not surpassed 50 rushing yards in six consecutive games. In Week 13, he managed 13 carries for 46 yards and brought in three passes for 12 yards in the Jacksonville Jaguars' 23-20 loss to the Houston Texans.
With Mac Jones now under center after Trevor Lawrence's injury, Etienne's role in the red zone may increase slightly, though his overall production has been underwhelming.
Travis Etienne played 5 more snaps than Tank Bigsby on Sunday, but Bigsby ran 5 more routes.

This week, the Jaguars take on a Tennessee Titans defense that was shredded by the Washington Commanders in Week 13. Multiple backs surpassed 90 rushing yards and scored, suggesting potential for a bounce-back performance.
However, recent games against Joe Mixon and Aaron Jones showed the Titans can contain running backs. While Etienne could deliver a solid outing, he is best suited as a flex option.
Should I Start Tank Bigsby for Fantasy Football?
Returning from an ankle injury in Week 13, Tank Bigsby played 46 percent of the snaps, rushing seven times for 28 yards and catching one pass for seven yards. His involvement has steadily decreased, as Etienne dominates the passing-down work and offensive touches.

The Tennessee Titans present a decent matchup for running backs, but Bigsby's limited role makes him hard to trust. Unless Etienne misses time, Bigsby is unlikely to see enough work to warrant starting in most formats. Keeping him on the bench is the safer play this week.
Should I Start Jerome Ford for Fantasy Football?
In Week 13, Jerome Ford led the Cleveland Browns in rushing with 41 yards on nine carries, adding 21 receiving yards. Despite his explosiveness, Nick Chubb's return has significantly reduced Ford's workload, especially near the goal line. His fantasy production has not reached double digits since Week 4, highlighting his reduced role.

Facing the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have allowed a rushing touchdown to running backs in seven straight games, Ford could benefit if he sees the volume. Unfortunately, Chubb is expected to handle most of the critical touches, limiting Ford's upside. He is best left on the bench in Week 14.
