Travis Etienne Jr.
JAC (vs . TEN)
Travis Etienne ran for 74 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries, with 75.0% of his attempts coming outside the tackles, tying a season high. Etienne rushed for 55 yards across 15 outside carries, along with one TD, while his remaining five carries between the tackles produced 19 yards and his second touchdown (Next Gen Stats). Played 72% of the snaps.
Bhayshul Tuten got hurt early in this game on a kickoff return - although he did return. He also fumbled twice - once on the kickoff return and on one of his few carries (recovered by the Colts). Tough scene for the rookie RB - who did struggle with fumbles in college. The Jets are a layup after their mass exodus of players before the NFL trade deadline - Travis Etienne could flirt with RB1 overall status in Week 15 |
|
17.
RJ Harvey
DEN (vs . LAC)
RJ Harvey recorded 13 rush attempts for 60 yards and a touchdown when the Raiders stacked the box with 8+ defenders in Week 14 (Next Gen Stats). His 60 yards against stacked boxes were the 2nd-most by any Broncos rusher in the Next Gen Stats era (since 2016). Harvey was successful on 10 of his 13 stacked box rush attempts (76.9%), generating the highest success rate against stacked boxes by any player since the start of 2022 (min. 10 such carries).
The rookie RB dominated the snaps (68%) and caught all six of his targets for 62 yards. 23 touches. Per Next Gen Stats: Harvey posted his second straight 20+ point performance in the Broncos' win over the Raiders. Harvey has operated as Denver's workhorse since J.K. Dobbins went down with a foot injury, and that role continued in Week 14 against Las Vegas. He carried 17 times for 74 yards and a touchdown while adding 6 receptions for 25 yards, finishing with 21.9 PPR points. Since Week 11 with Dobbins sidelined, Harvey has out-carried every other teammate by at least 25 (41 carries) and has logged 3+ receptions in every game. With the backfield essentially to himself, he offers consistent 20+ touch upside each week and one of the most valuable roles in the league when the Broncos are playing with a lead. |

Breece Hall
NYJ (at BUF)
TBD on which QB will play for New York in Week 14. It could be Taylor, Justin Fields or Cook. We will all find out together.
Good on-paper matchup versus the pass-funnel Jags in Week 15. The next 3 weeks are also great for the Jets' passing attack. But he schedule is tough for Breece Hall. Weeks 15-16 are both on the road (Jags also great versus the run), and Week 17 is the Pats. Love Hall, but there's a lot of risk being too heavily invested in the Jets in the fantasy postseason (bottom-10 ROS for RBs). |

21.
Rico Dowdle
CAR (at TB)
Per Next Gen Stats...the Panthers called a run play on 38 of 62 offensive plays (61.3%), their highest rate under coach Dave Canales back in Week 13.
Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard were effective on inside runs, averaging 4.2 yards per carry (19 carries for 80 yards) compared to 3.8 yards per carry on outside runs (16 carries for 61 yards). Hubbard recorded a season-high 6 first downs and generated +16 rushing yards over expected in the contest (Next Gen Stats). Hubbard was on a heater in this game, and I do think he was the better of the two Panthers RBs. Scored early on a pass from Bryce Young. The camera also panned to Dowdle on the sideline, looking at his shoulder. But obviously, he was fine. But Chuba Hubbard had the hot hand in Week 13 (58% snap share) - and that is concerning for Dowdle investors long term. In Week 12, Rico Dowdle totaled just 10 touches to Chuba Hubbard's 7. Dowdle only played 65% of the snaps - his lowest mark since Week 8. In Week 13, touches were 19-18 in favor of Hubbard. And he has already been playing more on third downs because of his proficient pass-protection. If we are going back to a closer committee, Dowdle can't be trusted as a fantasy RB1 ROS, given some of the tougher matchups that include the Buccaneers and Seahawks. In the last four weeks, Dowdle has not finished higher than RB14 on the week. In fact, Dowdle only has one RB1 finish since Hubbard returned to the lineup in Week 7. After a strong Hubbard showing...we might see this backfield go back to 50/50. Worked out in this last game for the Panthers. |

23.
Kenneth Walker III
SEA (at SF)
As for the backfield, Kenneth Walker is seizing a larger role. Zach Charbonnet had one carry in the first half, while also seeing some carries in garbage time. Walker played 60% of the snaps with Darnold as the QB. He also drew two targets near the end zone but didn't score (3 RZ carries).
Last 3 weeks, touches have been 42-29 in favor of KW3. Walker has 13-plus opportunities in seven straight games to Charbonnet's four. If DeForest Buckner remains sidelined for Indy...we could see a spike week from Walker versus the Colts defense in heavy positive game script. |

24.
Jaylen Warren
PIT (vs . BAL)
Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell split the backfield near 50/50 in snaps and touches. Neither was effective as a rusher, but both produced as receivers out of the backfield. They also both scored (Gainwell from inside the RZ, whereas Warren scored on a big pass play).
And admittedly, the playoff matchups aren't good (bottom-of-the-barrel for RBs), so anticipate this production to fall off for the Steelers RBs. Weeks 16-17 are the worst matchups for RBs. If this stays a committee between Warren and Gainwell, it could be brutal for all parties. |

Chris Rodriguez Jr.
WAS (at PHI)
Chris Rodriguez led the backfield with 10 carries for 52 yards (5.2 YPC, 42% snap share). He saw all the carries in the first half (Jeremy McNichols had a first-half carry taken off by a flag).
Still, C-Rod looks like the lead of this 3-headed monster. Great schedule ahead for the Commanders RBs as well. Specifically in the fantasy playoffs, the Giants/Cowboys is very juicy. And they also might get a boost from Jayden Daniels coming back next week if he is healthy enough. |

Jaylen Wright
MIA (at NE)
Coach Mike McDaniel noted after Sunday's 34-10 win over the Jets that De'Von Achane (rib) was available to return to the contest in an emergency, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
With Achane out, the Dolphins turned the backfield over to Jaylen Wright. He has been eating into Ollie Gordon's status as Achane's handcuff the last few games and that was completely apparent versus the Jets. Per Next Gen Stats...Wright rushed for a career-high 107 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries in the Dolphins' Week 14 victory over the Jets. Wright stepped in for De'Von Achane, who exited with a rib injury midway through the second quarter. Wright forced five missed tackles on the ground, tying his career high, and gained 30 yards after missed tackles and 91 yards after contact, both career highs. He also recorded three explosive runs (10+ yards) in the game after having only one such play entering today this season. Gordon botched the handoff on his first carry but scored late in the game. Always a threat in the red zone regardless of the availability of the other Miami RBs. Both guys need to be added...but Wright is the "right" Dolphins RB to add off waivers. It's handcuff szn after all...and this isn't the first time Achane has been a bit banged up this season. Also, given that it's a rib injury - pain tolerance will likely influence Achane's snaps/touches. Also re-injury seems highly likely. The Dolphins rushed for 239 yards in Week 14 against the Jets, the most since Week 3, 2023, against the Broncos (350). |
