Fantasy Football Week 14 RB Rankings: Is Christian McCaffrey Playing?

Getty Christian McCaffrey of the Carolina Panthers

Welcome to our Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings for Week 14 of the 2020 NFL regular season. This week owners get back Ronald Jones from a bye, but look to once again be without the services of Christian McCaffrey. The Panthers’ star running back did not practice Friday and was listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Broncos due to a quad strain sustained in practice Wednesday.

Running Back Outlook Week 14

The plan in Los Angeles was always for Cam Akers (RB30) to man majority ownership of the Rams backfield. It looks as if that is finally coming to fruition. We pegged Akers as a must-add waiver addition a few weeks back. Hopefully, you jumped on the bandwagon, as he may very well prove to be a league winner with the New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks on his fantasy playoff schedule. The latter of which was just shredded by Wayne Gallman to the tune of 135 rushing yards.

This week may not be the most prolific outing for Akers, as the Patriots have held opposing leading rushers to an average of just 43.4 yards over the past five weeks. With that said, five RBs have received at least 14 carries against the Patriots since New England’s Week 5 bye. Those RBs have averaged 91.6 ypg and totaled seven TDs. Akers is fresh off a career-high 21 carries, while no other Rams RB received more than three carries.
