Week 14 Running Back Rankings Analysis
A new feature has been added to our weekly fantasy football rankings article. Below, you will find our fantasy football outlooks or injury news for key running back options in Week 14, which gives readers a matchup preview of that player and advice on whether to start or avoid for the upcoming week. We provide outlooks for all 32 NFL teams, which can be found on our player profile pages and our fantasy football news desk.
Alvin Kamara, RB, New Orleans Saints
Week 14 Overall Half-PPR Rankings: 5
Week 14 Running Back Half-PPR Rankings: 2
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara ranks fourth on the season in PPR fantasy points per game, consistently putting points up with his sustained high-volume usage. Kamara's strong usage should continue heading into a Week 14 matchup with the Carolina Panthers.
Carolina surrenders the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs, with only Denver giving up more. In a game that New Orleans is projected to control, Kamara should be in a great spot for a potential smash game. Fire him up as an RB1 yet again.
Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Detroit Lions
Week 14 Overall Half-PPR Rankings: 31
Week 14 Running Back Half-PPR Rankings: 16
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has cooled off in recent weeks, totaling just 15.2 half-PPR fantasy points in his last two games. The rookie speedster had a four-week stretch with at least 18.5 fantasy points, but David Montgomery is now healthy and commanding plenty of touches. However, Gibbs has still been efficient as a runner during his rough patch, posting 114 rushing yards on just 19 carries. His receiving workload has been the biggest issue, compiling just five catches for 13 yards in Week 12 and Week 13.
The weekly touch distribution in the Lions backfield could vary week-to-week, so although Gibbs is no longer a "safe" play, he still has upside thanks to his big-play potential and receiving role. The Chicago Bears have surrendered the third-most receptions to running backs this season (6.1), so he has a real chance to get back on track in Sunday's NFC North contest.
Najee Harris, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers
Week 14 Overall Half-PPR Rankings: 82
Week 14 Running Back Half-PPR Rankings: 33
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) appears to be ready to play against the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The leader of the Pittsburgh backfield did not practice during the short week and is officially listed as questionable. Pelissero added that this is not a new injury for Harris but one that the team has been managing in recent weeks.
The Patriots' run defense has been stingy as of late, holding Brian Robinson Jr., Jonathan Taylor, Saquon Barkley, and Austin Ekeler to under 70 rushing yards. Harris is in the RB3 range for Week 14 due to the tough matchup, a backup quarterback under center, and a split workload with Jaylen Warren,
