Fantasy Football Matchup Outlooks
Below are some fantasy football outlooks written by our NFL team here at RotoBaller, bringing you their fantasy football analysis and advice on which players to consider starting in Week 15:
Travis Etienne Jr., RB, Jacksonville Jaguars
His outlook is further bolstered by Bhayshul Tuten's poor recent form (2.3 yards per carry over the last three games) and drawing a top-five matchup against the Jets. Gang Green has surrendered rush TDs to everyone lately, including three different Miami RBs last week. The Jets are set to start third-stringer Brady Cook at quarterback, which has the Jags favored by roughly two TDs across all major sportsbooks.
Etienne rosters should enjoy several scoring chances throughout the contests due to a positive gamescript and the advantageous matchup. As a result, Etienne is locked in as a top-10 option at the position per our ranks at RotoBaller.
De'Vone Achane, RB, Miami Dolphins
Achane would start the week with a limited practice on Thursday; however, he is expected to be a full go for his matchup on Monday Night Football. Head coach Mike McDaniel noted that the 24-year-old could have returned to last weekend's game if it were more competitive.
Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Achane's status over the weekend, but he'll be an elite RB1 play in Week 15 if he's active. UPDATE: Achane was limited in practice for a second straight day on Friday.
Jaylen Wright, RB, Miami Dolphins
Entering Week 14, the 22-year-old running back had only played 37 snaps with 18 carries in five games this season, but he leapfrogged rookie Ollie Gordon II against the Jets. With Achane going out, the second-year back played 37 snaps and set a career high with 24 carries. Head coach Mike McDaniel said Achane could have returned to the game, but he also said Monday that Achane may require additional rest.
With Achane's status for Week 15 against the Pittsburgh Steelers in question, Wright could be in line for another workhorse-type role. He'd profile as a plug-and-play RB2 in Week 15 if Achane is ruled out.
David Montgomery, RB, Detroit Lions
With Jahmyr Gibbs dominating the backfield workload in Detroit, Montgomery has become increasingly dependent on touchdowns for fantasy production. He may have a tough time finding the end zone in Week 15 when the Lions travel to Los Angeles to take on the Rams.
Through 14 weeks, the Rams have allowed the fewest rushing touchdowns in the NFL (four). At best, Montgomery profiles as a low-end flex option for deeper-league managers in Week 15.
Isiah Pacheco, RB, Kansas City Chiefs
Pacheco looked like the best back in the backfield before his knee injury, so the team may prefer to lean on him more as he gets healthier. Pacheco will have a chance to surpass Hunt this week against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers defense has been middle-of-the-pack in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this season, meaning that it should not be a difficult matchup for Pacheco.
That said, splitting carries with Hunt in a divisional matchup could be a difficult situation to succeed in. Pacheco is ranked RB48 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a difficult player to trust until he shows more upside.
