Week 15 Beyond the Box Score episode |
Week 15 Rankings Update |
|
Quarterback |
Tier 1 -- Locked-in |
QB1 - Josh Allen QB2 - Lamar Jackson QB3 - Jayden Daniels QB4 - Joe Burrow QB5 - Jalen Hurts QB6 - Kyler Murray QB7 - Sam Darnold QB8 - Brock Purdy QB10 - Bo Nix |
Tier 2 -- Upside to finish as the top scorer in Fantasy, but there's risk |
QB9 - Justin Herbert QB15 - Drake Maye QB18 - Anthony Richardson |
Tier 3 -- Betting on touchdowns with pocket passers |
QB11 - Tua Tagovailoa QB12 - Jared Goff QB13 - C.J. Stroud QB14 - Jordan Love QB16 - Baker Mayfield QB17 - Patrick Mahomes QB19 - Matthew Stafford QB20 - Jameis Winston QB21 - Bryce Young QB22 - Aaron Rodgers |

QB23 - Russell Wilson QB24 - Caleb Williams QB25 - Kirk Cousins QB26 - Geno Smith QB27 - Will Levis QB28 - Cooper Rush QB29 - Tommy DeVito QB30 - Mac Jones QB31 - Desmond Ridder QB32 - Jake Haener |
Running Backs |
|
|
Tier 1 -- Locked-in |
RB1 - Derrick Henry RB2 - Saquon Barkley RB3 - Bijan Robinson RB4 - De'Von Achane RB5 - Joe Mixon RB6 - Jahmyr Gibbs RB7 - Josh Jacobs RB8 - Chase Brown RB9 - Zach Charbonnet RB10 - Chuba Hubbard RB11 - James Conner RB12 - Brian Robinson Jr. RB13 - Kyren Williams RB15 - David Montgomery RB17 - Rachaad White (if Bucky Irving does not play) |
Tier 2 -- Role checks out, but can we trust the offensive environment? |
RB14 - Alvin Kamara RB16 - Rico Dowdle RB18 - Tony Pollard RB19 - Jonathan Taylor RB22 - Tyrone Tracy RB25 - Sincere McCormick |
Tier 5 -- I have several concerns |
RB20 - James Cook RB26 - Rhamondre Stevenson RB28 - Najee Harris RB29 - D'Andre Swift RB31 - Jaylen Warren RB32 - Travis Etienne |
Tier 6 -- I also like to live dangerously (we're chasing upside!) |
RB23 - Braelon Allen RB24 - Isaiah Davis RB27 - Isiah Pacheco RB30 - Tank Bigsby RB33 - Gus Edwards RB34 - Isaac Guerendo (I don't trust San Francisco's handling of injuries. If I knew Guerendo was locked into the role that he played last week for a full game, I'd rank him as RB19 ahead of JT and Cook) |
Tier 7 -- Desperation plays |
RB35 - Javonte Williams RB36 - Nick Chubb RB37 - Jerome Ford RB38 - Kareem Hunt RB39 - Jaleel McLaughlin RB40 - Justice Hill RB41 - Tyjae Spears RB42 - Kimani Vidal RB43 - Trey Benson RB44 - Kendre Miller RB45 - Antonio Gibson RB46 - Blake Corum RB47 - Patrick Taylor RB48 - Cam Akers RB49 - Ty Johnson RB50 - Sean Tucker |

WR28 - Malik Nabers WR29 - Jerry Jeudy WR33 - Jakobi Meyers WR38 - DJ Moore |

WR36 - DeAndre Hopkins WR42 - Keenan Allen WR46 - Ray-Ray McCloud WR63 - Sterling Shepard |
