Week 15 Stream Team - Free Agent and Bye-Week Streamers

Now that the playoffs are in full swing in most leagues and the final march for a championship has begun, streaming becomes a  necessary strategy. Knowing who to add and when to start them could be the ultimate difference-maker in a weekly matchup. Making the right streaming decisions could easily be the difference in winning […]

Marlon Mack Has A Bad Matchup In Week 15

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack got into the end zone in Week 14, and he'll be hoping to do that again in Week 15 against a stout New Orleans Saints Defense. The Saints have allowed just nine rushing touchdowns this year, and while they lost a couple of good defenders in the past week […]

Darwin Thompson Could Have Value in the Passing Game

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson has seen increased involvement in the offense the last two games. Damien Williams (ribs) and Darrel Williams (hamstring) both being sidelined has given Thompson an opportunity in the backfield. Damien has a chance to play in Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Denver Broncos. Having him back might […]

LeSean McCoy is Shaky Option for Week 15

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy has been the lead back lately with Damien Williams (ribs) sidelined. However, Williams is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 15 matchup with the Broncos. McCoy saw 11 rushing attempts for 39 yards during the Week 14 victory over New England. He might end up getting another start, […]

Damien Williams is Not A Trustworthy Fantasy Option

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 15 matchup with the Denver Broncos. The Chiefs backfield is a mess with LeSean McCoy, Darwin Thompson, and Spencer Ware all in the mix. Williams has missed the last two games and could be limited, assuming he plays on Sunday. […]

Jordan Howard, Nelson Agholor Ruled Out

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) and wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) have been ruled out for Week 15 against the Washington Redskins. Howard was limited all week and is probably closer to a return than Agholor, who logged three DNPs this week. With Howard out, Miles Sanders and Boston Scott will lead the […]

Week 15 Panic Room: Outlooks for Slumping and Injured Players

As you set your Week 15 fantasy football playoff lineups, there may be some players who make you feel very uncomfortable about starting them. Based on recent lackluster performances, injuries, or just an intangible bad vibe, it's a struggle to insert them into your lineup in a do-or-die week. But you may also nervous be […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 15

Week 14 was a boring one on Tank Street, with all of the crowd favorites managing to take care of business and keep on losing. We did have another early contender fizzle out after Atlanta won their third game out of five, after starting the season a near-perfect 1-7. With two of their three remaining […]

Kerryon Johnson Nearing A Return

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson (knee, IR) is setback-free and nearing a return to the field. Johnson hasn't played since tearing his meniscus in Week 7, which he had November surgery to repair. The 22-year-old has practiced the last two weeks, earning the praise of Coach Matt Patricia for his "good energy." With the […]

Red Zone Usage Risers and Fallers - Week 15

We are at a crucial point in the season. Hopefully, your team is still alive, but there is always an opportunity to get your team in shape before that final push! As fantasy owners, we know that not all touches are equal. A touch in the red zone has an increased chance of scoring a […]

Joe Mixon In For Long Game on Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon will get a stern test on Sunday against the New England Patriots. The Patriots are tops in the NFL in fantasy points allowed to running backs, only giving up 16 PPR points a game to the position. While Mixon has been trending up of late, he did only see […]

Christian McCaffrey Semi-Risky Against Seattle

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey has failed to hit the 100-yard mark on the ground in any of his last four games but has stepped things up as a receiver, nonetheless, by collecting 38 of his 48 targets for 330 yards during that same span. The Seahawks have been decent against opposing backs this […]

Inside the Tent - Week 15 NFL Injury Insight

At RotoBaller, we can't stress enough the importance of keeping up with injuries and playing your best lineup week after week. Players are going to get injured, that's an unavoidable fact. What's avoidable though is making the wrong roster decisions based on the injuries surrounding your fantasy squad. If you want to dominate your leagues […]

Jamaal Williams Still An Option

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams still remains fantasy relevant despite rushing for a subpar 24 yards on seven carries against the Redskins in Week 14. The 24-year-old has demonstrated this season that he can produce on a week-to-week basis, as evident by the five touchdowns he recorded over the course of four outings […]

Aaron Jones Still A Must-Start Against Chicago

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones did not play well during his first encounter with the Bears Defense back in Week 1, finishing the night with just 39 yards on 13 attempts, while catching only one pass for no gain. However, the 25-year-old is fresh off of a Week 14 outing against the Redskins, […]

Dalvin Cook Is An RB1 Despite Tough Draw

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is as volume-based RB1 in Week 15, as he has been for most of the season. He wasn't listed on the injury report at all on Friday and backup Alexander Mattison (ankle) being out definitely increases his projected workload. Mike Boone and Ameer Abdullah will split the backup role, […]

Leonard Fournette Still Solid Fantasy Option

Despite struggling in Week 14 against the Chargers, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette should still be considered a solid RB2 in Week 15 against the Oakland Raiders. Fournette dominates the backfield touches on this Jaguars team and has seen his role as a pass-catcher increase over the past three games. The Raiders Defense hasn't […]

Ride With Todd Gurley

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has performed like an RB1 in his best stretch of the season the last five weeks. He has rushed 85 times for 366 yards (4.3 yards per carry) and three touchdowns. Gurley caught a modest 11 balls for 87 yards during the stretch. The Cowboys present a midrange […]

David Johnson Shouldn't See Lineups

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson came through with a receiving touchdown last week in his first visit to the end zone in nearly two months. Running back Kenyan Drake has really diminished Johnson's role. Johnson has rushed for just 36 yards on 12 carries (3.0 yards per rush) with five catches for 51 yards […]

Kenyan Drake A Flex Option

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake struggled the last four games after his breakthrough debut with the team. He rushed 50 times for 170 yards (3.4 yards per carry) and no touchdowns during the stretch. One small saving grace in point-per-reception formats is his 17 catches for a meager 69 yards. Those 17 points help […]

Melvin Gordon Goes Against Another Tough Defense

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon hung 99 rushing yards on the Denver Broncos two weeks ago, and he'll need to find that same charge this week when he squares off against the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are allowing the 6th-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this year, so Gordon will have to […]

Austin Ekeler Looking To Continue Hot Streak

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler has been on fire recently, recording a touchdown in three of his last four games and topping 100 yards receiving on two occasions. Ekeler also chipped in a 101-yard rushing day last week. Ekeler has proven time and time again that he has the playmaking ability to bust […]

Chris Thompson A Risky Option With PPR Upside

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson's fantasy value for Week 15 is likely to hinge on whether or not Adrian Peterson is able to get anything going on the ground against the Eagles. Philly is one of the least friendly fantasy defenses for running backs, which lends itself to the idea that Peterson may struggle. […]

Adrian Peterson Facing Uphill Battle Against Philly

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson is once again in the driver's seat for his team's rushing workload. He performed admirably on increased touches last week when Derrius Guice went down with injury, and produced a quality fantasy line two weeks ago when the two RBs were splitting the work evenly. Those outings came against […]

Latavius Murray Could Struggle Against Colts

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray draws a tough matchup against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. After seeing a steady decrease in snaps from Weeks 11 to 13, Murray saw a slight uptick in Week 14. Alvin Kamara's struggles likely were the reason for his increased role, so it's unclear how much playing […]

Alvin Kamara Should Be Started Despite Tough Matchup

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara gets a tough matchup against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. It's been a disappointing season for Kamara owners though it hasn't been due to his lack of opportunity. The 24-year-old has averaged 17.4 touches per game since returning from injury, which is pretty much a workhorse role. […]

Dion Lewis Should Be Rostered Heading Into Week 15

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis has been a fantasy afterthought up to this point in the 2019 season. Despite this, Lewis is one of the higher upside stash options heading into Week 15 of the fantasy season. With star running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) unable to practice all week, Lewis could be in for […]

Benny Snell Jr. Tough To Trust Against Bills

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. will likely return to his role of spelling James Conner (shoulder) does in fact return for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. While Conner is listed as questionable, Snell has done well in place of the injured back who missed three games. However, the rookie will likely take […]

Josh Jacobs Questionable To Return To Action For Sunday

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs has reportedly been progressing during practice as he attempts to make his way back onto the field for Sunday’s game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he has officially been listed as questionable for the contest due to a fractured shoulder. Without him in the mix last week, the duo […]
