Week 14 of the 2024 fantasy football season represesnts the last chance for many managers to make it into their league's playoffs. This means that they must make sure to fully optimize their lineups this week across all positions. Running backs may be the most important of all of them, so here are some of the best targets and fades this week.

Fantasy Football Week 14 RBs Start 'Em picks

James Cook has been a reliable fantasy football running back for the Buffalo Bills this year, currently ranking as the overall RB11. He has been particularly good in recent weeks, including finishing among the top 10 weekly running backs in four of his past five games. He makes for an excellent pick in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams in a potential shootout.

He is joined by Chase Brown, who has taken a massive step forward for the Cincinnati Bengals since they traded away Zack Moss mid-season. He has ranked among the top 10 weekly running backs in each of his past four games to improve his overall standing to RB14. Up next is a favorable matchup against the Dallas Cowboys' weak rushing defense, making him an elite option.

Fantasy Football Week 14 RBs Sit 'Em picks

Chuba Hubbard has been having a solid 2024 fantasy football season, currently rankings as the overall RB13. The issue for his fantasy outlook in Week 14 is that he could be losing some of his workload now that Jonathon Brooks has debuted for the Carolina Panthers.

Hubbard received his fewest touches last week since his first game of the year and also gets a brutal matchup this week against the Philadelphia Eagles' elite defense.

When making these crucial lineup decisions each week, managers would be wise to utilize Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool. This will help them to determine who to target and fade each week by producing fantasy projections and lineup suggestions. Cook and Brown are among the suggested starters in Week 14, while Hubbard is a recommended fade.
