Some of the best running backs in the league and in fantasy football have great matchups this week. There’s plenty of top-shelf options, so make sure you choose wisely headed into your game this weekend especially if its playoff time. It’s not a week to try and catch lightening in a bottle with a deep flier unless you have to. Stick to what’s worked especially since the best backs face some of the worst rushing defenses.

Here’s our top 30 running backs for week 14:
