If all of the above backs are active this week, guys like Theo Riddick, Austin Ekeler, and even Jeff Wilson Jr. could still function as FLEX options, but all have significantly less value. Someone like Mike Davis, who could be used as merely a receiving back or as a featured back, would go from nothing to something in a hurry. Ditto for Pittsburgh’s Jaylen Samuels, who’s actually TE-eligible in Yahoo leagues.
Week 14 Standard Rankings: Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End | D/ST | Kicker
A couple backs moving down PPR rankings are Dion Lewis (@ Jaguars) and Josh Adams (@ Cowboys). Lewis has only had 13 carries compared to Derrick Henry’s 18 the past two weeks, and even worse, he’s had three or fewer targets in three of the past four games. Adams, while excelling as a runner with 20-plus carries the past two games, seems to have once again ceded receiving back duties, getting only one target in that span after six in Week 11. The return of Darren Sproles only figures to hurt him more in that department. These factors, along with tough matchups, have both Lewis and Adams tumbling down PPR rankings despite still having a healthy amount of upside.
