MIAMI, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- James Cook and De'Von Achane lead my Top-50 fantasy football running back rankings for Week 14.

Derrick Henry, Josh Jacobs, and Jonathan Taylor join Cook and Achane inside my Top 5. Bijan Robinson, Bucky Irving, Breece Hall, Saquon Barkley and Chase Brown are my other Top-10 options.

My Week 14 quarterback and wide receiver rankings can be found here. My waiver-wire and free agent targets for Week 14 are available here.

All of my positional rankings will be updated until Week 14 kickoffs. Players also will be moved out of or adjusted within the rankings based on injuries.

Be sure to monitor your lineups for injury developments. Players from Thursday's Dallas Cowboys-Detroit Lions game were removed from my rankings.

Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers players should be benched, or dropped in some cases, as those teams serve Week 14 byes.
