Who are the top running backs in week 14? Read on to find out.

The matchups are set for another big week for RB's starting with the man they call "All Day" going up against the worst defense in the NFL. Here are the week 14 RB picks:

Week 14 Fantasy RB Rankings

1. Adrian Peterson-

The Vikings will score a good amount against a Lions defense that has flat-out given up, especially in stopping the run. Chester Taylor might steal some carries from him, however. But he's still a must-play RB in week 14.

2. Chris Johnson-

Speed, speed, and more speed. That's the best way to describe Chris Johnson's running style. LenDale White will cut into his touches but against a mediocre Cleveland defense this RB projects to huge week 14 fantasy points.

3. Peyton Hillis-

Different RB, same offensive line means big fantasy points. Denver seems to have settled on the power back Hillis. The Kansas City Chiefs probably aren't looking forward to tackling him this week.

4. DeAngelo Williams-

Much like Johnson, Williams is a threat to take it to the house on every play. Tampa Bay has a very good defense but the Panthers are running it well.

5. Tim Hightower-

Former no-name back takes on a bad Rams defense. Fantasy RB points abound this week for the Edgerrin James-look-alike. Hightower has more heart and that's why he's the starting RB.

6. Brian Westbrook-

The Giants will be getting pressure this week as always so Donovan McNabb would be wise to dump the ball to this top receiving fantasy RB in week 14.

7. Matt Forte-

Rookie runner for the Bears faces a Jaguars team that gave up trying to stop Steve Slaton last week on Monday Night Football. In the cold, Forte will excel for a solid fantasy day on the ground.

8. LaDainian Tomlinson-

If LT can start turning things up now in time for the playoffs, patient fantasy owners will forgive him for his past lack of production.

9. Steve Slaton-

At Green Bay, Slaton should find his way to 100 yards or more through either the run game or passing game this week. Slaton has an incredible burst and great vision and is now a must-play every week down the stretch.

10. Michael Turner-

At New Orleans this week, Turner will get involved in the passing game and running game depending on how fast the Saints' offense scores. It will most likely be a high-scoring game and Turner will need to get at least 100 yards or so for the Falcons to win on the road in week 14.

11. Thomas Jones

12. Marshawn Lynch

13. Warrick Dunn

14. Larry Johnson

15. Frank Gore

16. Brandon Jacobs

17. Sammy Morris

18. Ryan Grant

19. Pierre Thomas

20. Maurice Jones-Drew
