Welcome to Fantasy Football Today in 5.

I'm Chris Towers, Dan Schneier's here with me.

0:18.7

Talk about some start sit dilemmas among running backs in the NFC for week 14.

0:23.6

Plus Thursday's game between the Vikings and Steelers.

0:26.7

That actually ended up being a lot more exciting than you might have thought if you turned it off at halftime with the Vikings up 23 to nothing.
