If you are on the bubble trying to get into the playoffs that magnifies the seriousness of the situation even more. You will get out of it what you put into it. So don't cheat yourself.

Let's get into the Week 14 Bruno Boys Running Back Rankings.

1. Adrian Peterson (Minnesota Vikings) @ Detroit

Earlier in the season, Detroit was able to hold Peterson to only 66 rushing yards and 0 TD's. The promising thing here is that he was also able to add in 52 receiving yards as well. This is not the same Lions team as he faced before as the Lions are looking like they are on pace for a 0-16 season. Peterson should have a field day.

Point Projection: 24 points

2. Thomas Jones (New York Jets) @ San Francisco

Let me throw some numbers out at you. 136.1 total yards and 7 TD's. What does that represent? The work that Jones' has done the past month. Granted there were two cream puff games in there, but he also faced the Patriots and Titans.

This week, he takes on a 49ers defense that is allowing 108.2 yards rushing every week and have also allowed 10 rushing TDs on the year. While those numbers are not horrible, they tend to really struggle against the better backs, of which Jones' is.

Point Projection: 19 points

3. Larry Johnson (Kansas City Chiefs) @ Denver

Since Johnson's return three weeks ago he has done nothing to disappoint. In fact he is getting better and better. Last week, he ran for 93 yards and a TD. This week, he faces a Denver defense that allows 144.3 yards per game on the ground and has given up 17 TDs to RBs. Things will continue to head north for L.J.

Point Projection: 19 points

4. LaDainian Tomlinson (San Diego Chargers) vs. Oakland

During the last four weeks, Tomlinson has averaged just shy of 100 total yards per week and has punched in only TD's as well. Those are not numbers that reek of L.T. But then again this season hasn't been close to what anyone had thought.

There is good news on the horizon though as he faces a Oakland defense that allowed him to go off for 106 rushing yards and two TDs in their last meeting.

Point Projection: 18 points

5. Steve Slaton (Houston Texans) @ Green Bay

Just when it was looking safe to write off Slaton as a must-start, he has put together two consecutive games of 21 carries. Even better yet, against Jacksonville last week he put up 182 combined yards and two TDs.

Green Bay is going to have a very tough time stopping Slaton as they have allowed 141.8 YPG and 17 rushing TD's on the season to RB's.

Point Projection: 18 points

6. Michael Turner (Atlanta Falcons) @ New Orleans

Even though Turner didn't reach pay-dirt last week after accumulating seven TD's the previous three weeks, he still put up 120 yards on his former team, a solid feat in itself. This week he takes on a Saints defense who is equally stingy.

Since the Falcons are going to want to keep the Saints offense off the field look for a pretty heavy running-style type of attack, lending to Turner having another excellent week.

Point Projection: 17 points

7. Matt Forte (Chicago Bears) vs. Jacksonville

During the past month Forte has averaged a combined yardage total of 125 per game and has added four TD's in that span, two rushing, two receiving. This week, he takes on the very team that allowed Slaton to go for 182 yards and a pair of TD's last week. We love Forte in this game.

Point Projection: 17 points
