Two players stepping into larger roles due to injuries led the way at running back during Week 14. Zach Charbonnet ($4,800; 41.3 FPTS) had the high mark of the day with his big game against the Cardinals, while at the same time, Isaac Guerendo ($5,400; 26.8 FPTS) scorched the Bears before leaving with a foot injury. Earlier in the day, Rachaad White ($5,300; 24.9 FPTS) also had a big game against the Raiders after Bucky Irving ($6,600; 2.8 FPTS) left with a back issue.
After that excitement in Week 14, be sure to stay tuned for any late-breaking injury news in Week 15 since it can radically shake up the rankings, like Charbonnet in for Walker did on Friday. Already, Week 15 shapes up to be a stacked one at running back since all teams are back from their bye weeks and 32 teams will be in action every week for the rest of the regular season.
Another fascinating storyline to watch in the next few weeks will be Saquon Barkley ($9,000; 17.4 FPTS) chasing history as he continues his incredible first season in Philly. He is again atop my rankings for this week, but there are several top options in absolute smash spots to consider.
During NFL Week 15, here are my top 25 RBs to start:
- Saquon Barkley (vs. PIT)
- Derrick Henry (vs. NYG)
- Joe Mixon (vs. MIA)
- Bijan Robinson (at LV)
- Kyren Williams (at SF)
- Jahmyr Gibbs (vs. BUF)
- De’Von Achane (at HOU)
- James Conner (vs. NE)

- Chase Brown (at TEN)
- Rico Dowdle (at CAR)
- Alvin Kamara (vs. WAS)
- Brian Robinson Jr. (at NO)
- David Montgomery (vs. BUF)
- Tony Pollard (vs. CIN)

- Rhamondre Stevenson (at ARI)
- James Cook (at DET)
- Isaac Guerendo (vs. LAR) — if healthy
- Isiah Pacheco (at CLE)
