Chris Rodriguez start or sit: Week 15 fantasy football advice

The 3-10 Washington Commanders travel to face the 2-11 New York Giants as 2.5-point underdogs this Sunday. Neither team has anything to play for this season, but this is the time jobs are won and lost. One player who would love to get some good film on tape is running back Chris Rodriguez, who has consistently beaten out rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt for touches when healthy.

Below, we’ll go over Chris Rodriguez’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 15.

Rodriguez is questionable with a groin injury this week, but seems more than likely to play. If he can’t, then Croskey-Merritt would be in play for the fantasy start, especially without Rodriguez taking away looks. But, as long as Rodriguez plays, we can’t expect a huge workload in a split backfield. But, we can expect a strong matchup.

The Giants have allowed twelve running backs to put up double-digit fantasy points on them this season. They’ve allowed the second most rushing yards and fantasy points to the position, while giving up the most yards per carry. With Rodriguez’s 12-15 looks per game, we can’t predict a smash fantasy day, but it’s hard not to like the Commanders’ starter as a flex play this week.
