I'm actually thinking of starting V-Jax this week as my WR #3.
I got screwed big time in week 12 when I started him and he played 2 snaps, so I really believe in the idea of benching V-Jax until he proves he can produce. But I might need to start him this week. I lost Dez for the season and my only other option is Chad Ochostinko vs Pittsburgh in snowy weather!
Rest of my team is down below in my sig..
QB - Drew Brees, Tony Romo RB - Adrian Peterson, Trent Richardson, Alfred Morris, Jacquizz Rodgers WR - Brandon Marshall, Julio Jones, Vincent Jackson, Anquan Boldin, Golden Tate TE - Heath Miller DEF - Rotating K - Justin Tucker

Take your chances with VJax. I'm not a fan of starting someone who hasn't played at all up until week 14, but if your only other option is Ocho against PIT, i'd rather take my chances with the guy who is yet to play until week 14. I just think VJax's ceiling is so much higher than Ocho's. At best Ocho gets 50 yards and a TD. Assuming VJax can play 75% of the snaps, I think at worst he gets 60-70 yards. But his ceiling can be 100 yards and a couple TD's. Go with VJax.
I'm thinking about that same senario. I also have Ocho starting at flex til today when I may have Jackson and Nicks available. I would say if you are going against a tough opponent this week, go for it with Jackson, if he plays...
Chad's not that bad of an option, can you pick up anyone else. I don't trust V-Jax he's a wait and see and if you were burned once why go back if you have at least a fighting chance with Chad.

Fitzgerald is the safe pick, but Vincent Jackson has so much more upside... so if you definitely need at least 5-7 points for sure you should roll with Fitz. But if the rest of your team is already strong enough and you can afford to gamble a little bit, go with Jackson.

Um, I think VJax gave us all a pretty good idea of his worst-case scenario two weeks ago. Still, I agree that he's still a better option than Ocho.
