1. Best fantasy football pickups for Week 14: RB Zonovan Knight, New York Jets

Rostered: 37.9%

With Michael Carter out, Knight served as the Jets’ lead back on Sunday. He rushed for 90 yards on a team-high 15 carries. In addition, he hauled in five receptions for 28 yards. The undrafted rookie is building real momentum. In Week 12, he rushed for 69 yards and had three receptions for 34 yards.

Carter is dealing with a low ankle sprain, and his status for next Sunday’s game is still up in the air. If Carter does not play, Knight has immense streaming upside as the lead back in the Jets’ offense. If Carter is active, Knight is still an intriguing FLEX option. The Jets have typically deployed Carter in a complementary role. This season, he has not played 75 percent of the team’s offensive snaps in a single game, this season. In Week 12, Carter was splitting carries with Knight prior to his injury, as well.

#Jets scratched James Robinson yesterday. But don't think they ever intended on going workhorse with Michael Carter, even before the ankle injury.

First half RB opportunities:
* Michael Carter 8
* Zonovan Knight 5
* Ty Johnson 1
