With James Conner and Matt Breida out in week 14 a lot of you guys are wondering who the best pick up is to net you a championship. Well the answer is below in my running back rankings. I will say this however, while I think Jeff Wilson has the safest floor I'm still very high on Jaylen Samuel. Samuel has the highest ceiling between the 2 and while Tomlin says its going to be a RBBC I simply don't believe him due to his history of using just 1 running back. My best advice here is you need to read the reports coming from the beat reports in terms of who is working with the 1's. If Ridley and Samuels are splitting reps we very well could see a RBBC. Jeff Wilson also has some risk associated with him as he tweaked his ankle last week, so keep your ear to the group there as well.
