Fantasy Football Week 15 Rankings – Running Backs HALFPPR

To differentiate between all the “Start ‘Ems” on my Fantasy Football Start Em, Sit Em page, you can check out the Weekly Fantasy Football Rankings, so you can figure out whom to start between Player X and Player Y.

Below are my fantasy RB rankings and a set of links for my positional Weekly NFL Fantasy Football Rankings. Keep in mind that this list is for this week only; not the entire rest of the season.

The rankings are based on a HALFPPR scoring system. Each player has Walterfootball.com’s projected stats and standard scoring points.

    80 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The 49ers have been mostly weak against the run this year, but they’ll be better with some injured players returning.

  11. Tony Pollard, RB, Titans (vs. Bengals)- 17 Points
    90 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Tony Pollard should continue to run well in this matchup.

    Injured is foot in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game.

    It’s easy to run on the Saints.

  16. Zach Charbonnet, RB, Seahawks (vs. Packers)- 15 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Zach Charbonnet is a must-play if Kenneth Walker is out again.

    70 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Chicago is very poor against the run.

  18. Jonathan Taylor, RB, Colts (at Broncos)- 14 Points

  19. David Montgomery, RB, Lions (vs. Bills)- 14 Points
    70 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    David Montgomery should have decent success against the Bills.

  20. Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, Patriots (at Cardinals)- 14 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Cardinals just allowed Zach Charbonnet to look like Walter Payton.

    80 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
    The Panthers still struggle against the run.

  22. Tyrone Tracy, RB, Giants (vs. Ravens)- 13 Points

    The Lions are dominant against the run.

  24. Isiah Pacheco, RB, Chiefs (at Browns)- 12 Points
    50 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Browns are better against the run, so Isiah Pacheco doesn’t look too appealing this week.

  25. Tank Bigsby, RB, Jaguars (vs. Jets)- 12 Points
    50 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Jets have improved a bit against the run.

  28. Rachaad White, RB, Bucs (at Chargers)- 11 Points
    50 Rushing Yards, 6 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
    Rachaad White is still getting some work, but Bucky Irving is the running back to own.

  29. D'Andre Swift, RB, Bears (at Vikings)- 10 Points
    50 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
    The Vikings are stout against the run, so I don’t like D’Andre Swift’s outlook.

  30. Gus Edwards, RB, Chargers (vs. Buccaneers)- 10 Points
    30 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    A tough matchup for a terrible player.

  31. Jaylen Warren, RB, Steelers (at Eagles)- 10 Points
    50 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.

    30 Rushing Yards, 1 TD.
    The Chiefs are stout against the run.

  33. Javonte Williams, RB, Broncos (vs. Colts)- 8 Points
