RB Benny Snell

Benny Snell is primed to get the touches this week as a shoulder injury is likely to keep the Steelers’ feature back in James Connor out. Against the Cardinals, Snell is facing the No. 24 run defense which allows 118.8 yards per game, plus a team that’s allowed a running back score three games in a row heading into Week 14.

RB Kareem Hunt

The Browns are facing the Bengals this week. They won’t make the same mistake the Jets made in not running the ball against the NFL’s worst run defense, which allows 157.6 yards per game. Nick Chubb will cut into Hunt’s touches, but Hunt, who’s scored in two-straight games for the Browns, could still have a reasonable look at points. He’s had five-plus catches in three of four games he’s played, too.

WR Robby Anderson

The Jets have gotten 100 yards or a touchdown from Robby Anderson in three-straight games. He’s heating up, and now he has the Dolphins en route. The Jets will want a little revenge for earlier this year and the Dolphins allow a hearty amount of fantasy points to opposing receivers, making Anderson a good start.
