Le’Veon Bell led off this list last week and he didn’t disappoint, but it was the return of another workhorse that prompted a change on Athlon Sports’ Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings for Week 14. After missing the past two games because of a groin injury, Arian Foster was back at it this past Sunday for the Texans. Foster didn’t fill up the box score, but he got 24 touches (105 total yards, TD) and this week faces a Jacksonville defense that’s been generous to opposing RBs. Meanwhile, Bell exploded for 254 total yards (159 receiving) in the Steelers’ loss to the Saints and he remains a top-three option this week. The hottest RB right now, however, is Denver’s C.J. Anderson, who has a whopping 335 yards rushing in his last two games. Anderson faces a tough task Sunday against Buffalo’s defense, but we still like him as a top-10 option. There also are some injury situations worth paying attention to this week, including Jamaal Charles (swelling in knee), Rashad Jennings (ankle), and Andre Ellington (hip pointer).
