8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 14

Stevan Ridley, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Jaylen Samuels is definitely the Pittsburgh Steelers running back to own with James Conner out, but he was also a hot waiver add this week, and is available in fewer than 50% of leagues.

If you missed out on Samuels, you can still find some value in that backfield with Stevan Ridley.

Mike Tomlin plans to go with a committee approach, so while Samuels may be the lead back and is in line to take Conner's spot in the passing game, Ridley should still get some significant work on the ground,. That's particularly the case with the Steelers sitting as 11-point favorites on the other side of the Raiders game this week. We should see a more run-heavy game out of the Steelers than we've become accustomed to, and that should benefit Ridley.

Ridley also gets some nice touchdown upside here. Conner has only seen 7 red zone targets this season, but his 34 red zone carries are the fourth-most in the NFL. With Ridley projecting to be the power back in the committee, he has a good shot at taking over a significant part of that workload.
