So much to review here. Plenty of names with injuries that need to be watched. Tevin Coleman, Joe Mixon, Alvin Kamara and Adrian Peterson to name a few. Some of these players are hanging a little lower because there is concern over their status going into Week 15. Still, Le'Veon Bell, Leonard Fournette, Melvin Gordon, LeSean McCoy and Kareem Hunt remain near the top of the list this week.

This is a week that will be a playoff in all formats. Good luck and here are your running backs...
