Washington Redskins' running back Ryan Torain returned on Sunday from an injury and had a huge game.

Torain returned as the starter and carried the ball 24 times for 172 yards but failed to reach the end zone.

This is good news for Torain owners who kept him on the bench during his injury because he can be important for playoff matchups.

LeSean McCoy has been a pleasant surprise for fantasy owners this season, and for those who drafted No. 25, what a great pick.

McCoy is second amongst running backs in scoring and he continued his stellar season in Week 14.

McCoy rushed for 149 yards on just 16 carries establishing himself as a reliable option for the playoffs.

Wait, Tim Hightower is on the list of top performers?

Hightower has not rushed over 100 yards since Week 2 so those owners who started Hightower, they were certainly rewarded.

Hightower carried the ball 18 times for 148 yards and two touchdowns in Week 14. Maybe this will get him going for the final three games of the season.
