NFL Week 14 Fantasy Football Running Backs: Sit 'Em

Najee Harris - Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens

While Najee Harris ranks among the top 20 running backs in total fantasy points this year, he's having a disappointing 2022 season.

He has finished inside the top 25 running backs in PPR points just four times this year. Week 14 presents a challenging situation to turn things around.

The Baltimore Ravens have been stout against the rush, especially since acquiring Roquan Smith from the Chicago Bears. They rank inside the top eight in fantasy points allowed to running backs.

Leonard Fournette - Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. San Francisco 49ers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Leonard Fournette

Leonard Fournette appears to have been surpassed by rookie Rachaad White on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' depth chart for running backs. While he still holds value as a veteran backfield option for Tom Brady, he's better off avoided in Week 14 against the elite San Francisco 49ers' defense. They allow at least 2.5 fantasy points per game less to running backs than any other NFL team.

Dameon Pierce - Houston Texans vs. Dallas Cowboys

While Dameon Pierce has scored the 15th most total fantasy points among running backs during the 2022 Fantasy Football season, he has struggled in recent weeks. He has finished outside the top 20 in each of the last three weeks, while failing to record a top-10 finish since Week 4.

It won't get any easier in Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys. They allow fifth-fewest fanatsy points per game to running backs.
