The fantasy football playoffs are here, bye weeks are over, and our Week 14 fantasy RB rankings are looking pretty strong. With several players returning from injuries and other backs emerging from committee situations, there are plenty of worthwhile running backs in the RB2/flex tier. Of course, with so many potential sleepers available, there could be some difficult start 'em, sit 'em decisions for fantasy owners.
Notably, Christian McCaffrey (vs. Broncos) should have a chance to return following the Panthers' Week 13 bye. He has played just once since Week 2, but after several weeks off to rehab a shoulder injury, he has a chance to make an immediate impact like he did when he returned from an ankle injury in Week 9. James Conner (COVID), D'Andre Swift (illness), and Josh Jacobs (ankle) should also have chances to return this week, and they will be top-25 players thanks to their volume and versatility. The practice statuses of these players will need to be monitored, but they seem to be trending in the right direction after miss last week.
WEEK 14 PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
It's also worth noting that Devonta Freeman (ankle, COVID) will be eligible to return from IR for the Giants. Even if he does, Wayne Gallman will probably be the lead back for the Giants considering the success that he has had the past month. Freeman can still have flex value depending on his role, but outside of PPR leagues, trusting Freeman is far riskier than any other injured RB that may return (like Joe Mixon, who's also eligible to come off the IR this week).
WEEK 14 STANDARD RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
Because of the depth and (relative) health at the RB position, there are plenty of worthwhile flex options to trust this week. Whoever starts for the Jets, be it Frank Gore (concussion) or last week's hero Ty Johnson (@ Seahawks) ,and Cam Akers (vs. Patriots) don't necessarily have the best matchups, but they should get a good chunk of their team's carries and pay off in flex spots. Phillip Lindsay (@ Panthers) can also be a solid flex in a good matchup even if he's producing less than Melvin Gordon. His matchup is a good one, so Lindsay is worth trusting thanks to his decent workload. JK Dobbins (vs. Browns) and Nyheim Hines (@ Raiders) are in similar situations.
Zack Moss and Devin Singeltary stand out as backs to avoid against the Steelers this week. The Steelers are already strong against the run, and Moss and Singletary have been splitting carries. Each week, a new player looks like the backfield leader, so trusting either in this matchup doesn't seem like a great idea. If you're desperate, you can go with Moss as a TD-dependent flex, but there are better options out there to target.
Reminder: As always, we expect to make plenty of changes to these RB rankings throughout the week, so check back for updates.
These rankings are for standard, non-PPR leagues.
