Consider yourself lucky, or just a good fantasy GM, if you have LeSean McCoy, Ray Rice, Maurice Jones-Drew or Arian Foster as your main running back. Those guys have been getting it done in 2011. Beyond that, who at the running back position looks good for Week 15?
Our partner, numberfire.com, has provided us with projections for 30 top-rated running backs in Week 15. They determine their projections by feeding the stats and matchups into the computer, and the computer responds with its best estimate.
These projections are live and may change before Sunday’s action. Come back over the next few days until game time to see where your players stand.
Marshawn Lynch has been amazing out in Seattle the last month or so, and is a must-start this week. Despite a poor last game, owners of Chris Johnson have finally seen some production out of the guy many had as a top three pick in the fantasy drafts.
Looking for someone a little further down the food chain? Consider some late-season injury replacements like Felix Jones, C.J. Spiller or Marion Barber.
* Fantasy Points Projections are based on the Yahoo! and ESPN default scoring settings. Quarterbacks are scored with 1 point for every 25 passing yards, and 4 points for every touchdown. For running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends, they are scored with 1 point for every 10 total yards, and 6 points for every touchdown. This is a non-PPR projection.
