The 10 Best Running Backs for the 2014 Fantasy Football Season
9. Montee Ball, Denver Broncos
| Attempts | Yards | TD | REC | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 279.61 | 1,250.24 | 9.4 | 62.86 | 461.1 | 1.44 | 230.28 |
No player in our top-10 is more unproven than Montee Ball, but then again, none are in quite as good of a situation. Playing the side-car role to Peyton Manning in the Denver offense is an ideal place to be for a running back, and Ball steps into that role with very little competition in 2014. So despite having only a few dozen touches in his NFL career, his consistency as a runner should keep him on the field for one of the best offenses in recent history. That consistency led to a Success Rate (the amount of carries in which positive NEP was earned) that ranked in the top-three among backs with 100 or more carries last year.
