Week 15 Fantasy Football Running Back Outlooks
Tony Pollard, Tennessee Titans
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard has seen his fantasy value rise after piling up 161 yards and two touchdowns against a good Cleveland Browns defense in Week 14. Managers likely haven't been in a rush to add shares from a Titans offense that has struggled for most of the year, but Pollard is the No. 25 overall PPR running back and finished second at his position last week, making him an intriguing, if risky, option for the fantasy playoffs.
The Titans take on a San Francisco 49ers defense that ranks 17th against fantasy running backs in Week 15, giving Pollard a decent but not outstanding matchup. He has 27 catches on the season and has maintained some RB3/flex value, but he could bring added value if Tennessee's offense turns a corner during the final month of the season.
Chris Rodriguez Jr., Washington Commanders
Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (groin) has maintained a role within his team's backfield that makes him a rosterable fantasy player as Washington prepares to take on a shaky New York Giants defense in Week 15. Though the season is all but finished for Washington, Rodriguez has drawn double-digit carries four times in the past five weeks, which includes three rushing touchdowns and a pair of top-30 finishes among PPR running backs despite his lack of involvement in the passing game.
Rodriguez didn't practice on Wednesday, but with quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) out again, the Commanders could look toward the backfield against a Giants defense that ranks 31st against fantasy running backs. The third-year back has been touchdown-dependent, but if he's able to play, he's getting enough action to consider him in favorable matchups, particularly in leagues with more than one flex spot.
Devin Neal, New Orleans Saints
New Orleans Saints running back Devin Neal (abdomen) is warding off an injury but has nonetheless seen his fantasy stock rise, making him a possible priority free agent for managers looking to make a playoff run. The rookie from Kansas is coming off the best day of his NFL career last week at Tampa, during which he rushed 19 times for 70 yards and a touchdown, and also caught his only target for 14 yards. The increase in work arrived because longtime starter Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) has been sidelined, which included missing Wednesday's practice.
For his part, Neal practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday ahead of a Week 15 game against Carolina. Though he's not out of the woods yet, Neal and the Saints have a terrific set of matchups with the Panthers, Jets, and Titans on deck in the next three weeks, which could give Neal steady value if Kamara remains out.
Kyle Monangai, Chicago Bears
Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai has earned a sizable role in the team's backfield alongside D'Andre Swift. Monangai and Swift both have exactly 60 carries each over the past four games, with Monangai totaling 258 yards and three touchdowns and Swift having 293 yards and one touchdown.
The duo's skill sets complement each other well in a Chicago running game that has proven to be one of the best in the league. The rookie seventh-rounder ranks as the RB20 during that four-game span, averaging 12.3 PPR points per game. Monangai should continue to receive a healthy workload and touchdown opportunities in a strong Bears offense with head coach Ben Johnson pulling the strings. He profiles as a viable flex option in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns.
Bam Knight, Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight has operated as the team's primary running back this season after injuries to James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee). Benson's season has come to an end after not being activated off Injured Reserve within his 21-day activation window. Knight has taken advantage of his opportunities in Benson's absence, sharing backfield duties with Michael Carter and Emari Demercado (ankle). He's handled 81 carries for 271 yards and four touchdowns while adding 22 receptions for 160 yards and one touchdown on 31 targets.
It has been an underwhelming production for fantasy managers, as he ranks as the RB43 with 8.5 PPR points per game, but he's scored at least 13.2 PPR points in three of the last four games. The 24-year-old has been one of the least efficient runners in the league this season. However, he has been active as a receiver and has a firm hold on goal-line duties in what's been a surprisingly fantasy-friendly Arizona offense with quarterback Jacoby Brissett at the helm. Knight will continue to rank in low-end RB3 territory for the Week 15 game against a tough Houston Texans defense this Sunday.
Aaron Jones Sr., Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice as the team prepares to face the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday night. Jones suffered a shoulder injury in Week 13's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but was able to play and produce in the 31-0 win over the Washington Commanders. Jones' shoulder injury doesn't appear to be a hindering factor in Week 15, as he prepares for a former foe in the Cowboys.
They have given up the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs this season, and Jones has dominated them in the past, averaging 157 scrimmage yards and scoring six touchdowns in three career games against them. Assuming Jones is cleared for this week, he is a solid RB2 option for fantasy managers this week.
