Doug Martin (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) at New Orleans Saints
Rank: 3rd among RB matchups
Analysis: Martin has the best matchup at his position besides the Giants running backs, an Duke Johnson JR so that should tell you something. Martin will be the most dependable fantasy running back this week because he gets a cupcake matchup with the New Orleans Saints, I mean some of the top tier college defenses could give the Saints D a run for their money. With Winston hitting his stride and developing a very potent chemistry with Mike Evans Martin should find a ton of holes in this week 14 matchup.
Spencer Ware/Charcandrick West (Kansas City Chiefs) VS San Diego Chargers
Rank: 4th among RB matchups
Analysis: This is a tough one because this backfield is a time share and but if you think about it there is only one starter here. Spencer Ware is the goal line back and that is really all that matters, he will get the touchdowns. West is the back that will likely soften up this Chargers defense on earlier downs. But this Chargers defense is so bad against the run it would not surprise me at all to see both of these players have especially productive days.
Jonathan Stewart (Carolina Panthers) VS Atlanta Falcons
Rank: 5th among RB matchups
Analysis: Stewart will get a ton of work against a Falcons defense that has not been able to stop running backs all year long. Stewart may have a rushing touchdown vultured by Cam Newton but he is a lock to see double digit points production. The Panthers have also yet to announce when they will begin resting their starters so this could be one of the last weeks to fully utilize Stewart in a great matchup.
TJ Yeldon (Jacksonville Jaguars) VS Indianapolis Colts
Rank: 7th among RB matchups
Analysis: Yeldon has come on as one of the most explosive backs in the league and the only thing truly holding back this offense is the offensive line. With better run blockers Yeldon would have been a top 5 running back this year however that is not the case. Yeldon has a pretty easy matchup against the Colts defense and this one should figure to be a shootout for the AFC South crown. The Jaguars have been the best offense in the conference all season long thanks to Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns constant production but the Jaguars awful defense has blown leads in just about every game. Look for the Jaguars to forcefully run the ball with Yeldon to help control the time of possession. Yeldon should also get more goal line opportunities in this game.
Honorable Mentions: Shaun Draughn (San Francisco 49ers)/ Duke Johnson JR (Cleveland Browns)/Charles Sims/Lamar Miller (Miami Dolphins)/LeSean McCoy (Buffalo Bills)/Eddie Lacy (Green Bay Packers)
