The fantasy football playoffs are finally here and most of the fantasy managers still looking for rankings already have a great team. However, injuries and role changes will continue to force people into tough start-or-sit decisions. That said, we're back with our Week 15 fantasy football half-PPR rankings for fantasy football as of December 15th. Our goal, as always, is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key players like Travis Etienne, Elijah Moore, Jerry Jeudy, Chris Moore, Rex Burkhead, Jerick McKinnon, and Ben Skowronek rank, among others.
Our half-PPR fantasy football rankings are put together by Nick Mariano, Brandon Murchison, and Andersen Pickard. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for this week. There are always key injuries to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff.
