Isiah Pacheco 41% STARTED

He’s the RB1 on arguably the best offense in the NFL. Over the last month, the rookie has averaged 89.2 yards on 17.5 touches per game. He’s cemented himself as the teams lead back and gets a mouth watering date with the 3-9 Denver Broncos on Sunday. What else do you want? He needs to be universally started.  

D’Onta Foreman 37% STARTED

Foreman’s outlook is simple. If the Panthers stay in games, he excels. In close games, the 26-year-old averages 25.4 touches, 127.1 yards, and 19.7 points per game. On tap for Week 14? The Seattle Seahawks, who rank dead last vs. opposing running backs. If the game is close, Foreman hits, and Vegas is anticipating a close game (three point spread.)

Kareem Hunt 20% STARTED

Get this. Hunt’s 74 yards in Week 13 vs. the Texans marked his second highest total of the season. It’s been a disappointing year for the former pro-bowler but there is upside entering Week 14. Despite the struggles, Hunt’s still playing 45% of the team snaps (Nick Chubb 53%.) With a potential shootout on tap for Week 14 vs. the Bengals it seems like a great spot for Hunt to score his first TD since week 7. It’s not a sexy start, but if you’re desperate, there are certainly worse options.
