NFL Week 14: Running Backs To Start

START RJ Harvey: We recommended Harvey as a starter last week, and he delivered two touchdown runs. He totaled 62 yards from scrimmage, and fantasy players are still waiting for the rookie to bust out with more yardage overall.

The Raiders rank 22nd in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to RBs and their defense might spend a lot of time on the field this week. Harvey should be started again as an RB2/flex option, as he might flash true upside for the first time this season.

START Travis Etienne: The Jacksonville RB should deliver a rebound performance in Week 14. In the four games prior to Week 13, Etienne posted 15-plus PPR points in each outing. The Jaguars have a huge matchup with the Colts this week. The winner can seize control of the AFC South lead. Over the past four weeks, the Colts rank 22nd in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to RBs.

Etienne will be a key part of the Jacksonville offense in a game with significant NFL playoff implications. He should remain in fantasy starting lineups.

START D’Andre Swift: In one of the most surprising stories of the 2025 NFL season, the Bears are tied for the top record in the NFC with the Seahawks and the Rams. After toppling the Eagles last week, Chicago now takes on Green Bay in a very important later-season matchup in the NFC North. Swift has rushed for 80-plus yards in three of his last four games.

While he shares work with rookie Kyle Monangai, Swift will be an essential offensive performer for the Bears this week. He can rip off a big play at any time and should provide a solid statistical floor. His fantasy totals have at least been adequate in most recent weeks.

START Kenneth Walker III: The Seahawks’ ground game has become even more reliable and integral over the last four weeks. During that span, the offense has averaged 143 rushing yards per game. Walker has finished with 100-plus scrimmage yards in two of his past three games. He is getting more involved as a pass-catcher, with nine catches in the last three games.

Over the past four weeks, Atlanta ranks 21st in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to RBs. If the Seahawks’ defense can throttle yet another opponent and build a comfortable lead, the RBs could be quite busy in the second half.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Power Rankings: Week 14 Running Backs

1. Chris Rodriguez Jr: He appears to be leading the Washington RB committee right now, and should be the preferred goal-line runner for the Commanders.

2. Jordan Mason: Keep a watch on Aaron Jones’ shoulder injury, as it could lead to more work for Mason.

3. Devin Singletary: A decent add for some depth in the fantasy playoffs, he totaled 102 yards from scrimmage on Monday night.

4. Trey Benson: The Cardinals RB might return soon from an ankle injury to be the lead RB for Arizona. In some leagues, you may find Benson on the waiver wire. Someone may have cut him while he was on injured reserve.

5. Blake Corum: He is functioning as the top complementary RB to Kyren Williams and would be an instant fantasy starter if pressed into more action at any point.
