Fantasy Football RB Rankings Week 14 for PPR Leagues (2024)
Welcome back to another week of fantasy football RB rankings. The NFL season is flying by as we head into Week 14 which for many fantasy leagues is the last regular season matchup before the playoffs begin in Week 15. With that being said, you can’t afford to make mistakes in your fantasy football lineups. A loss could cost you a playoff spot and a win could vault you into one. Continue reading and follow along as we break down our top fantasy football running backs for Week 14.
Bye-pocalypse two is here in Week 14. Six teams are on a bye this week – the Baltimore Ravens, Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots, and Washington Commanders. That means you can’t start Derrick Henry, Joe Mixon, Jonathan Taylor, Rhamondre Stevenson and Brian Robinson. Good luck trying to cobble together two starting running backs.
Here you will find my top 24 Fantasy Football RB rankings and tiers for Week 14. Each week, I’ll separate them into tiers along with one “Start of the Week.”

Week 14 Fantasy Football RB Rankings: Start of the Week
Chase Brown at Dallas Cowboys
As a fellow Canadian, it isn’t hard for me to cheer for Chase Brown – he was born in London, Ontario, Canada. Full disclosure, at the beginning of the season, I wanted no part of the Bengals and their committee backfield in Chase Brown and Zach Moss. While I loved the talent in Brown, I didn’t want to deal with the headache of a running back by committee situation in Cincinnati.
Unfortunately, Moss was injured in Week 8, which left the backfield all to Brown. From Weeks 9-13 (bye in Week 12) with the backfield to himself, Brown averaged 19.1 fantasy points per game (4th highest for that time span) making him that RB8 for that time frame.
During that four week period, Brown did not see his snap count go below 80%. His usage has been Christian McCaffrey like, averaging just under 24 touches per game. There has also been a nice boost in receptions during the four game window – 22 receptions, 176 yards and one touchdown.
The Cowboys have the second worst rushing defense in the league, giving up an average of almost 150 rushing yards per game. They have also allowed the most rushing touchdowns with 21.
Using our free D-PAC tool at the Faceoff Sports Network, the Dallas Cowboys have the fifth-highest RB-DPAC score among all 32 NFL teams. The higher the D-PAC score, the more often those teams allow high-level, usable, fantasy points to that position.
Look for Brown to continue his second-half RB1 season against the Dallas Cowboys. Go Canada and Chase Brown, eh?!
