Running Backs
Top Handcuffs
Mike Davis, SEA- Yup, another week another running back to gamble on in Seattle. In Week 13 rushed for 64 yards and added four catches for 37 yards against the Eagles. He will likely head into Week 14 as the starting back given the struggles of the all other running backs on the Seahawks roster. Davis actually has a decent matchup against the Jaguars who have a stout pass rush but have been susceptible to the run this season.
Peyton Barber, TB- With Doug Martin out with a concussion it was easy to assume that Jacquizz Rodgers would take over as the lead back but Barber followed up his two touchdown performance in Week 12 to rush for 102 yards and added four catches for 41 yards in Week 13. Martin is not expected to play in Week 14 as of now which means Barber should start againt the Lions.
Giovani Bernard, CIN- It wasn't too long ago that Bernard was the back to own in Cincinnati but he lost snaps to Jeremy Hill and then with Joe Mixon drafted he nearly fell out of the picture all together but with Hill on IR and Mixon suffering an injury in Week 13 the Bengals turned to Bernard again and he delivered 77 yards on 13 carries while adding two catches for 19 yards against the Steelers. If Mixon is unable to go Bernard will be the feature back in Week 14 against the Bears.
Wide Receivers
Top Handcuffs
Braxton Miller, HOU- This is far from an ideal scenario for the Texans but Miller is now the the No.2 receiver with both Will Fuller and now Bruce Ellington dealing with injuries. Miller did have a solid Week 13 which saw him catch four passes for 71 yards but the once college quarterback has been far from consistnet as an NFL receiver to this point in his career.
Zay Jones, BUF- Injuries continue to pile up in Buffalo and following the team's Week 13 loss to the Patriots they placed receiver Jordan Matthews on IR. With Kelvin Benjamin also dealing with an injury the No.1 receiver role returns to rookie Zay Jones who has been less than impressive to begin his career. The targets should be there but I question if he is worth picking up given the situation.
Kenny Stills, MIA- Davante Parker has caught just two passes over the past two weeks with Kenny Stills seeing a bigger chunk of the action. Stills was nearly a 1,000 yard receiver with the Saints before he was surprisingly traded to the Dolphins a few seasons ago and he has gotten better in each year with Miami as he already has more catches and yards this season through 13 weeks than he did through all of last year.
Tight Ends
Top Handcuffs
Stephen Anderson, HOU- Anderson had a career game in Week 13, catching five passes for 79 yards and a touchdown. This performance comes after starting tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz went down with an injury. Anderson is already expected to start Week 14 against the 49ers which is a good matchup for him and the Texans passing attack which he figures to again be heavily involved in, especially given the loss of Bruce Ellington at receiver.
