ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown: Start Em, Sit Em

Start Em
Peyton Hillis, RB Denver: The Broncos have done a fine job adapting their offense to conform to his downhill running style, and the matchup couldn't be more favorable for Hillis. Kansas City ranks 31st against the run and has allowed 20 rushing scores, so we'll go as far as to say he's a must-start, even as your No. 2 back.

Kevin Boss, TE NYG: Who's the boss? Kevin's the boss! Feel free to start him if you don't have one of the truly elite tight ends. Last time versus the Eagles Boss had 12.9 points.

Sit Em
Jake Delhomme, QB Panthers: Delhomme has exceeded our expectations the past two weeks, and perhaps we should jump on board with his success ... and yet the Bucs have the third-best pass defense in the league, and with DeAngelo Williams playing so well, there's just no need to toy with the possibility of a bad interception ruining Jake's day. We're steering clear of him again in Week 14. Last time versus Bucs, Delhomme put up less than 10 points.

Terrell Owens, WR Cowboys: Weather will be a huge factor as they play in Pittsburgh which will make it hard for the Cowboys to get a good pass game going. Not to mention that the Steelers have the best pass defense in the NFL right now. Even though he has been on fire lately, you should take these into account when you are adjusting your last minute lineups.
