Fantasy Football Rest-of-Season Rankings: Week 15

Forecasting where all of the notable players net out over the remainder of the season.

These fantasy football rankings track a player’s value for the remainder of the season and are intended to be used as a tool, not necessarily a definitive guide to player valuation.

The scoring system is performance PPR. There is no exact science behind season-long rankings, considering all of the variables and situational uncertainties at work.

Rankings key:
UP/DN is trending up or down from week’s ranking.
NR means the player wasn’t ranked last week.
UP/DN numbering shows where the player was ranked the prior week.

2 Lamar Jackson, BAL 14
3 Joe Burrow, CIN 12
4 Jalen Hurts, PHI 5 DN3 three straight games of less than 200 yds passing
5 Jayden Daniels, WAS 14
Rk Lineup regulars Bye Up/Down Notes
6 Brock Purdy, SF 9 UP9 given all the RB injuries, SF needs more from the passing game
7 Kyler Murray, ARI 11
8 Patrick Mahomes, KC 6 DN7 a couple quiet weeks after it looked like the KC offense was rounding into form
9 Tua Tagovailoa, MIA 6
10 Jordan Love, GB 10 DN6 Jacobs’ goal-line success has hurt Love’s passing TDs
11 Sam Darnold, MIN 6 UP14 last 4 gms: 11 TDs, 0 INTs
12 Bo Nix, DEN 14 he lands in Tier 2
Rk Weekly matchup plays Bye Up/Down Notes
13 Jared Goff, DET 5 has multiple TD passes in 9 of his 11 gms

15 Matthew Stafford, LAR 6
16 Caleb Williams, CHI 7 took 7 sacks in Wk 14
17 Anthony Richardson, IND 14 DN13 he has weekly potential, but those accuracy issues don’t seem to be going anywhere
18 Jameis Winston, CLE 10
19 C.J. Stroud, HOU 14
Rk Fringe plays/roster depth Bye Up/Down Notes
20 Drake Maye, NE 14
21 Russell Wilson, PIT 9 tough closing schedule (PHI, BAL, KC)

23 Aaron Rodgers, NYJ 12 UP26 finally threw for over 300 yds
24 Geno Smith, SEA 10
25 Kirk Cousins, ATL 12 lots of empty yds in Wk 14, but he’s now thrown 0 TDs/8 INTs in his last 4 gms
26 Bryce Young, CAR 11
27 Will Levis, TEN 5 DN25 lost at home to Mac Jones
28 Cooper Rush, DAL 7
29 Drew Lock, NYG 11 UP35 got the start over DeVito in Wk 14; he’s set to start again in Wk 15, as long as he’s healthy
30 Aidan O’Connell, LVR 10 suffered a knee injury in Wk 14; his status for Wk 15 is TBD
31 Mac Jones, JAC 12
32 Spencer Rattler, NO 12 NR w/ Carr hurt, Rattler could start the rest of the way
33 Derek Carr, NO 12 DN28 suffered a concussion/hand injury in Wk 14; he’s “week-to-week,” but I wonder if he plays again
34 Desmond Ridder, LVR 11 NR he could start in Wk 15 (and possibly beyond) depending on how quickly O’Connell heals
35 Trey Lance, DAL 7
36 Joe Flacco, IND 14
Running backs
Rk Never leaves lineup Bye Up/Down Notes
1 Saquon Barkley, PHI 5 my only concern is if PHI gets locked into the No. 2 seed by Wk 17…
2 Derrick Henry, BAL 14 …whereas BAL is gonna be fighting until at least the finale
3 Bijan Robinson, ATL 12
4 Kyren Williams, LAR 6 UP5 he leapfrogs Gibbs just by virtue of being the clear primary back
5 Jahmyr Gibbs, DET 5
6 Josh Jacobs, GB 10 scored 7 TDs in a 12-day span
7 Joe Mixon, HOU 14
8 De’Von Achane, MIA 6 the other MIA RBs get very little work anymore
9 Chase Brown, CIN 12 UP11 averaging 123 yards/gm in his last 5; he’s basically working as CIN’s WR3
10 Jonathan Taylor, IND 14
Rk Lineup regulars Bye Up/Down Notes
11 Aaron Jones, MIN 6 UP14
12 David Montgomery, DET 5
13 Alvin Kamara, NO 12 DN8 Carr’s injury means teams are just going to load up on stopping Kamara
14 Chuba Hubbard, CAR 11 UP25 w/ Brooks re-tearing his ACL, Hubbard is the bell cow in CAR
15 James Conner, ARI 11
16 Isiah Pacheco, KC 6 UP24 he should be fresh for the stretch run
17 Breece Hall, NYJ 12 DN12 DNP in Wk 14 w/ a knee injury; his status for Wk 15 is TBD

27 Tyrone Tracy Jr., NYG 11 UP29
28 Rhamondre Stevenson, NE 14
29 Rachaad White, TB 11 UP31 if Irving’s injury causes him to miss games, White’s value would increase

31 Tank Bigsby, JAC 12 UP36 had 19 touches in Wk 14 to 8 for Etienne
32 Jaylen Warren, PIT 9
33 Tyler Allgeier, ATL 12 UP37
34 Sincere McCormick, LVR 10 UP60 the guess here is that LV lets him work as RB1 the rest of the way
35 Travis Etienne, JAC 12 DN32
36 Gus Edwards, LAC 5 DN34
37 Braelon Allen, NYJ 12 w/ Hall inactive, he shared the load w/ Isaiah Davis
38 Javonte Williams, DEN 14
39 Jerome Ford, CLE 10 UP52 he’s pretty much splitting touches w/ Chubb at this point
Rk Fringe plays/roster depth Bye Up/Down Notes
40 Zach Charbonnet, SEA 10 UP51 clearly he has value when Walker is out; when both are healthy, his role is marginal
41 Trey Benson, ARI 11
42 Kareem Hunt, KC 6 DN35 looks like he’s fully transitioned into a backup role
43 Justice Hill, BAL 14
44 Patrick Taylor, SF 9 UP58 his value will rise/fall based on the severity of Guerendo’s injury

54 Raheem Mostert, MIA 6 DNP in Wk 14 w/ a hip injury; his status for Wk 15 is TBD

57 Alexander Mattison, LVR 10 DN47 missed 3 gms w/ an ankle injury; his status for Wk 15 is TBD
58 Ray Davis, BUF 12
59 Emanuel Wilson, GB 6
60 Isaiah Davis, NYJ 12 NR if Hall misses multiple games, Davis’ value would go up
61 Jaylen Wright, MIA 6

Fantasy Football Rest-of-Season Rankings: Week 13

Forecasting where all of the notable players net out over the remainder of the season.

These fantasy football rankings track a player’s value for the remainder of the season and are intended to be used as a tool, not necessarily a definitive guide to player valuation.

The scoring system is performance PPR. There is no exact science behind season-long rankings, considering all of the variables and situational uncertainties at work.

Rankings key:
UP/DN is trending up or down from week’s ranking.
NR means the player wasn’t ranked last week.
UP/DN numbering shows where the player was ranked the prior week.

Fantasy Football Rest-of-Season Rankings: Week 11

Forecasting where all of the notable players net out over the remainder of the season.

These fantasy football rankings track a player’s value for the remainder of the season and are intended to be used as a tool, not necessarily a definitive guide to player valuation.

The scoring system is performance PPR. There is no exact science behind season-long rankings, considering all of the variables and situational uncertainties at work.

Rankings key:
UP/DN is trending up or down from week’s ranking.
NR means the player wasn’t ranked last week.
UP/DN numbering shows where the player was ranked the prior week.

Fantasy Football Rest-of-Season Rankings: Week 10

Forecasting where all of the notable players net out over the remainder of the season.

These fantasy football rankings track a player’s value for the remainder of the season and are intended to be used as a tool, not necessarily a definitive guide to player valuation.

The scoring system is performance PPR. There is no exact science behind season-long rankings, considering all of the variables and situational uncertainties at work.

Rankings key:
UP/DN is trending up or down from week’s ranking.
NR means the player wasn’t ranked last week.
UP/DN numbering shows where the player was ranked the prior week.

Fantasy Football Rest of Season Rankings: Week 8

Forecasting where all of the notable players net out over the remainder of the season.

These fantasy football rankings track a player’s value for the remainder of the season and are intended to be used as a tool, not necessarily a definitive guide to player valuation.

The scoring system is performance PPR. There is no exact science behind season-long rankings, considering all of the variables and situational uncertainties at work.

Rankings key:
UP/DN is trending up or down from week’s ranking.
NR means the player wasn’t ranked last week.
UP/DN numbering shows where the player was ranked the prior week.

Fantasy Football Rest of Season Rankings: Week 7

Forecasting where all of the notable players net out over the remainder of the season.

These fantasy football rankings track a player’s value for the remainder of the season and are intended to be used as a tool, not necessarily a definitive guide to player valuation.

The scoring system is performance PPR. There is no exact science behind season-long rankings, considering all of the variables and situational uncertainties at work.

Rankings key:
UP/DN is trending up or down from week’s ranking.
NR means the player wasn’t ranked last week.
UP/DN numbering shows where the player was ranked the prior week.

32 Aidan O’Connell, LVR 10 NR named the starter over Minshew
33 Tyler Huntley, MIA 6 UP34 if Tagovailoa is ready, Wk 7 could be Huntley’s final start; if not…
